Chapter 2207
With an ugly expression, Ada walked over and threw a black bag at Bella.
"There are 100,000 dollars in it. I'll give these back to you first. Please give me two more days to pay up the rest. I will definitely get all of them back for you." Ada's face was pale as if she had fallen ill. Her expression was full of hatred for Bella, as if she was the culprit who had ruined her life. Bella bent down to pick up the bag of money and put it into her school bag.
"As long as you return me all the 500,000 dollars, the past will be written off." Bella's kindness towards Ada had completely exhausted, and she would no longer believe her like an idiot.
Ada stared at her with a resentful look and said sarcastically, "A person's luck will eventually be used up. Bella, don't be so complacent. One day, you will end up like me, nothing."
These words were like a curse, which made Bella's expression freeze. She took a few steps forward, stood in front of Ada, and stared at her coldly. "You're talking about yourself, right? I suggest you say something nice and don't embarrass yourself."
After saying that, Bella turned around and left. She didn't want to waste any more time on such a person.
Ada gnashed her teeth in anger, but there was nothing she could do. She could not move an inch due to the pain in her body.
In order to get this money back, she had betrayed her dignity and body.
The night before, she had to sleep with a pervert who whipped her body with a lash continuously. Even now, she was still covered in bruises. It was getting dark.
A phone call disturbed Bella's meditation. She glanced at her phone and felt a touch of sweetness in her heart.
"What have you been up to these days? Why didn't you answer my call? Why didn't you take the initiative to contact me?" The man's deep and maic voice sounded a little aggrieved and dissatisfied.
"My grandma passed away a few days ago so I have been busy with her funeral. Plus, my exam is around the corner. I will go over to your place tonight," Bella explained in a low voice. She didn't mean to ignore him, but too many things had happened in the past few days. She was a little depressed and she didn't want to bring these negative emotions to him.
"Why didn't you tell me? Do you still treat me as an outsider?" Ben's sounded even more displeased. He felt as if he had integrated into her life but at the same time, he felt distant to her.
"I don't have a good relationship with my grandma. I really don't want to tell you about her. I'm sorry." Bella noticed that Ben was a little angry, so she quickly explained gently.
"Alright, come over tonight. I'll make you dinner." Ben's voice was gentle.
He had always respected her. If she didn't want to talk about it, he wouldn't force her.
"Okay, I'll come over after class. Do you need me to buy anything?"
"If I asked you to buy that thing. Will you go?"
"What is it?" Bella was confused.
"Forget it. I'm just joking with you. You can just bring yourself here tonight. I haven't seen you for a few days. You don't know how much I miss you." Ben's tone was full of longing.
After hanging up the phone, Bella became more energetic. She was happy knowing that someone was always thinking about her.
It was already dark. A black Maybach was on the main road of the city.
It was luxurious and eye-catching.
When Ben returned home, he found that the lights in the room were being switched on. His heart skipped a beat.
It seemed like Bella had arrived home before him.
Bella was peeking some fruits in the kitchen. When she heard the sound of the door opening, her heart was in a mess, and she hurt her finger by accident. She ran out quickly and covered her wounded finger, When she looked up, she saw Ben's tall figure.
"What's wrong with your hand? Let me have a look." Ben's eyes fell on her. He noticed that she was covering her finger, and bright red blood was oozing out from it. His heart skipped a beat, and he dashed over.
Bella was a little embarrassed as she whispered, "I saw that there were apples in your refrigerator, so I wanted to peel a few for you but I was too clumsy and ended up injuring myself."
Ben stared at Bella with a deep gaze. Her pretty face was full of self-mockery.
"Don't touch the knife ever again.
You should know that you're clumsy. Leave this kind of dangerous task to me." Ben said in displeasure, but he was holding her in his arms like she as some kind of treasure. Then, they went to the storage room together and found a first aid kit.
"It might hurt a little. Bear with it."
"Ouch, it hurts." Bella cried out in a low voice.
The corners of Ben's mouth twitched. He didn't know why he had an impulse to bully her when she said that. "Am I bad?" He thought to himself. "Make sure not to get your fingers wet till tomorrow. Sit down and wait. I'll cook dinner for you." Ben skillfully bandaged her wound, got up and looked at her from above and said gently.
"Okay." Bella nodded, but in her heart, she scolded herself for being such a disappointment. She wanted to please him but she ended up hurting herself.
The gentle candlelight flickered on the dining table.
Dinner that night was plentiful and the table was full of expensive seafood. She didn't know where Ben got them.
"I made these for you. Do you like them?" Ben skillfully unshelled a lobster and put it in her bowl.
"Thank you. It was really good. Why did you make all these dishes for me?" Bella looked shy and lowered her eyes, not daring to look Ben in the eye. Ben's eyes were as deep and charming as the sea, and they were like black holes that couldn't be seen through. Every time Bella looked at him, her heart would beat faster and her brain would go blank, as if he was the only one left in the world.
"I heard that you say you like seafood, so I asked someone to send the freshest ingredients over. I want you to have a good taste of them." Ben said as he looked with his gentle eyes.
Bella was slightly surprised. She did say that she wanted to eat seafood, but it was just a throwaway remark. She did not expect that Ben would take it so seriously. This man was indeed attentive to what she said.This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.
"Thank you, but I'll be honest with you, I can't remember what you want to eat." In contrast, Bella felt guilty. It seemed she was always on the receiving end.
"Well, I'll tell you now. It's you." Ben curled his lips into an evil smile.
Bella was so shy that she wanted to dig a hole in the ground. How could he say such words so casually?
"My mom said that she had taken a fancy on a few sets of jewelry and asked someone to send them to you within the next few days." Halfway through the meal, Ben suddenly mentioned.
"Why is she giving me such valuable
things? I can accept them." Bella was shocked. Her relationship with Ben was not to the point of marriage. Her future mother-indaw was being too generous to give her
such a gift. She really didn't dare to take it.
