"It's fine. My parents won't care about this," Ben explained softly, "I saw you were asleep and didn't want to wake you up."
"Don't do that again." Bella was no longer angry. She was also touched by Ben's kindness.
It was getting dark. Bella sat on the sofa and wrung her fingers. The William's was more luxurious than she had imagined and was out of the Charles's league. Every item here was low—key and luxurious, making Bella less confident.
Even though she grew up in a wealthy family, she never lived such an extravagant life.
A black car stopped at the door. Leo and Mary got off the car. When they entered the living room, they saw a girl sitting on the sofa. At first glance, they thought she was beautiful. Moreover, she looked like a good girl, and her eyes were clear.
"Dad, Mom, you're back. This is my girlfriend, Bella."
"Bella, they are my parents." Ben started the conversation in order to relieve Bella's nervousness and fear.
Bella stood up and looked up at Ben's parents. She whispered, "Hello, Mr. and Mrs. William."
Mary was excited that her son finally brought such a pretty girlfriend home.
"Are you Bella? I'm glad to see you," Mary said gently.
"Welcome," Leo said as well. He discovered the girl in front of him looked like Mary in her youth. Was it his illusion? But they were indeed of the same type. No wonder Ben was his son, their preferences for girls were alike.
Bella heaved a sigh of relief. She was afraid that she would be too nervous to say a word and was sweaty. As Ben's parents were gentle, she felt relaxed,
"Mom, you can stop worrying now, as my brother is not a gay," Edith, who was sitting beside Mary, said with a smile.
Mary glared at her, "What are you talking about? Of course, your brother likes women. If he is a gay, I won't let him go easily."
Ben interrupted, "How could I like men? I'm not a gay."
"Bella, welcome to our home, you'd better stay here for a few more days. We can get familiar with each other as well," Mary turned to her future daughter—in—law and said. It was probably because Ben fancied Bella that Mary came to like Bella as well.
As the head of the family, it was improper for Leo to keep staring at Bella. He said to Mary, "Ask the cook to make more food."
"I see." Mary got up and went to the kitchen. In the William's, there were several servants. Mary didn't know how to cook and had never do any housework since she was young. Leo also didn't let her do that, as she was the woman he loved.
In her panic, Bella exchanged looks with Ben, who was smiling at her. She was embarrassed, and then she appreciated him for comforting her.
Although it was a wealthy family, the Williams was harmonious. Bella felt comfortable and a sense of belonging.
The dinner was fancy, but Bella didn't eat a lot. After all, it was not at her home. She felt nervous.
