"My mother never took back the things she had given out. She must have approved you as my life partner. Well, just accept them on my behalf, okay?" As he spoke, Ben covered the back of her hand with his large palm, and she could feel the warmth coming from his palm. Bella looked at him and the sight of him tugged at her heartstring. Perhaps she really shouldn't avoid it anymore and that she should just bravely accept the gift.
"Okay, I'll accept it. Please thank your mom for me." Bella no longer refused as she felt that it was a token of appreciation from Ben's mother.
"You can tell her yourself. She wants to hear your voice too," Ben said with a smile.
"Okay, I'll give her a call then, but I'm still a little shy." Bella smiled bashfully.
"There's nothing to be shy about. Just think of yourself as her daughter-in-law. It's just a matter of time anyway," Ben said with a smile.
The word 'daughter-in-law' stunned Bella and she lowered her head shyly.
"Are you going home tonight?" Looking at her face, which was as beautiful as the morning sunrise, Ben felt his body warming up. Although it was a little shameless to ask such a question at this time, he did miss her a lot.
"If you want me to stay, I won't go home tonight." Bella looked into his eyes boldly and enthusiastically. In fact, she missed him too. When she was at her saddest, she wanted to throw herself into his arms for a hug and comfort.
"I want you to stay with me." Ben's voice became low and hoarse.
The night was quiet, and the starry sky was particularly charming.
The wind blew on the bed where two figures overlapped.
After a long time, Bella was exhausted.
Lying on Ben's broad chest, she felt his warmth. Her cold hands and feet seemed to have been cured by him.
Ben looked at Bella who was in his arms with a gentle gaze. Her long hair was covering his arm. It was soft and delicate, it was an unprecedented feeling. Then, he touched her abdomen with his large palm.
Early in the morning, the sun shone through the window. Bella glanced at the time and realized that it was almost half past eight. She had to hurry to school for class.
After washing up, she ran to the living room and found that Ben was sitting on the sofa, reading the newspaper. Breakfast was served on the table.
"Why didn't you wake me up? I'm running late for school," Bella asked, pouting.
"I saw that you're sleeping soundly, so I can't bring myself to wake you up. I've packed your breakfast for you so you can eat it on your way there." He didn't want to wake her up because he just wanted her to sleep longer.
Ben indeed had great time management skills. Bella had arrived at her school just in time for her first class.
June was taking an injection again that day. She was recovering from her cold. Jonas was still by her side that day. He brought a laptop over and sat on the sofa to attend to his work. The atmosphere in the ward was quiet.
June couldn't help looking at Jonas. His focused look was very charming.
Suddenly, her cell phone rang. June quickly picked it up. It was Adah.
