"Bella, I heard that you and June are good friends now. You two often hang out together, right?" Mark asked.
Bella immediately raised her vigilance and answered,
"Yes, June and I are good friends now. She is also my cousin. Of course, I have to get along well with her."
"That's good. June has never been willing to talk to me. If you are close to her, please put in a good word for me and ask her to go home more often." Mark showed a gratified smile, as if he had found a breakthrough.
"Uncle Mark, why do you suddenly care so much about her? Why didn't you ask about her before? Is it because she has married Jonas, and you think she could be a useful pawn now?" Bella's tone was full of sarcasm. She was not afraid that Mark would be angry because it was the truth.
The atmosphere in the private room suddenly froze, and everyone's expressions were a little strange. Mark was embarrassed but Adah looked displeased. Susan, on the other hand, gave Bella a meaningful look, indicating that she should talk less.
Bella pouted her lips disapprovingly. Did she say something wrong?
"Bella, I've let them down. I didn't take good care of them in the past so I want to make up for it. But they wouldn't give me a chance to do so. Bella, please help me and persuade June. I really want to have her back," Mark pleaded sincerely.
"If you want to say it, tell her yourself. I won't help you. They are pitiful enough. Please let her go and let them live a good life." Bella crossed her arms and turned her face aside. She was unwilling to talk to them.
"Susan, please help me persuade Bella," Mark looked at his sister, Susan and put all his hopes on her.
"I don't want to eat anymore. Take your time. No matter what, I won't help you with this matter, because I'm ashamed and haven't lost my conscience," Bella saw that they wanted her mother to persuade her, so she stood up and walked out of the door.
"Hey, this girl is getting ruder. How can she talk to her uncle like that? It’s fine if she doesn't want to help, but why does she look at us with such an expression?" Adah said with dissatisfaction.
Susan took a sip of tea, looked at Adah and said indifferently, "Bella has had such a temper since she was young. I spoiled her. If you ask her to help you do this kind of thing, she will definitely not do it. I think you should live your life and don't ever see Lina and June anymore."
Adah's face darkened. She looked at her husband and snorted.
Mark wasn't happy either. He didn't expect that it would be so difficult to convince Bella.
Susan took her bag and left.
Bella was sitting at the front of a milk tea shop and drinking a cup of milk tea.
"Bella, you should go back to school. I have to go now. If uncle and aunt ask you to do this again, you can just ignore them." Susan would definitely not make things difficult for her daughter, and she also knew how difficult it was for a woman to raise a child.
"Mom, you are getting more reasonable nowadays. I like how you are now," Bella smiled happily at her mother.
Susan touched Bella's hair and felt warm in her heart. Her eyes were watery as she said, "The old me has gone, I have been reborn. I hope that I can be a warm mother in the future and won't hurt you anymore."
