Dump My Ex, Dive into Love with His Billionaire Uncle-Chapter 114 - Acting Cute Is It Okay

Bella Woods paused for a few seconds before saying, “I don’t want you to tell him about us.”

She lowered her eyes, trying to be as straightforward as possible.

But if asked for a reason, Bella Woods couldn’t provide one.

Ashton Marshall patted Bella Woods’ head and bent down to look her in the eye, “Kid, I won’t get involved in matters between you and Oliver Hughes.”

Bella Woods was quite surprised.

Ashton Marshall continued, “If Oliver Hughes does anything that troubles you, and you need me to handle it, just tell me. But if you don’t want to tell me and want to handle it yourself, that’s okay too.”

Bella Woods was digesting his words.

His words didn’t feel like they were directed at a gaming acquaintance, but rather at a partner.

Whether you want to grow up and deal with these matters is your choice; I respect it.

If you don’t wish to handle them, I’ll stand in front of you.

If you want to deal with them, I won’t interfere and will support you from behind.

Bella Woods couldn’t help but feel a bit emotionally overwhelmed, but she still maintained her rationality.

“I’ll take care of my matters with Oliver Hughes myself,” Bella Woods said with a smile.

After all, she’s going abroad, and some things are better left unspoken.

“Going home?” Ashton Marshall inquired.

Bella Woods didn’t leave, “I want to hang out with Calvin Marshall this afternoon and also play with her tonight.”

“With her?” Ashton Marshall frowned, glancing towards the staircase where Calvin Marshall was hiding.

Calvin Marshall quickly hid behind the stairs, her heart racing with anxiety.

She really didn’t want Ashton Marshall to think she was leading Bella Woods astray.

“I want to hang out with my friend, is that okay?” Bella Woods asked.

Ashton Marshall frowned; he didn’t really want to agree to this.

Bella Woods took a step forward and grabbed Ashton Marshall’s hand, “Uncle, is it okay?”

The young girl’s eyes were dewy, full of pleading charm, something Ashton Marshall could hardly resist.

He found it quite helpless and covered Bella Woods’ eyes with his hand.

Bella Woods immediately pulled his hand away, “Is it okay?”

Ashton Marshall: …

With her pleading like this, how could he say no?

“What’s the plan for the afternoon?” Ashton Marshall asked.

Seeing his expression, Bella Woods quickly explained, “Shopping and dining in the afternoon, and she’s taking me for makeup.”

Ashton Marshall didn’t say anything, but his eyes sparkled as Bella Woods mentioned these plans.

When she was in the countryside, the young girl’s focus was solely on studying, besides schoolwork, she also had to take care of two elderly grandparents, leaving no time to make friends, let alone go out to have fun.

Four years ago, when she arrived in Peace City, she was swept into a world that only revolved around Oliver Hughes, faced ridicule, and was looked down upon.

Strictly speaking, she never really had friends around her, let alone friends who would take her out to have fun and dress up.

Ashton Marshall couldn’t deny Bella Woods these expectations.

He rubbed Bella Woods’ forehead, “Do you need me to accompany you?”

Bella Woods shook her head, “No need, you handle your business. When it ends in the evening, I’ll go back myself… to the school home, is that okay?”

“Okay.” Ashton Marshall nodded and playfully tapped Bella Woods’ nose.

In the next second, Ashton Marshall’s gaze deepened, “Calvin Marshall.”

“Yes, Third Brother.”

Calvin Marshall quickly ran out from behind and stood in front of Ashton Marshall as if she were a soldier standing at attention.

Ashton Marshall took out a black card and handed it to her, “Take her out to play well. Buy her whatever she wants and make her look nice.”

Calvin Marshall’s eyes lit up as she looked at the black card.

With this black card, she could not only make Bella Woods happy, but she could also be the host and organize her own meet and greet.

It couldn’t get any more exciting.

“Rest assured, Third Brother, I’ll definitely take good care of Little Bella.” Calvin Marshall quickly accepted the black card.

Ashton Marshall instructed, “Send me the address after it’s over.”

Meaning he’ll come to pick her up.

Calvin Marshall nodded, “Alright, Third Brother.”

Ashton Marshall lowered his head and gently asked Bella Woods, “Shall I take you to the mall now?”

“No…”

“Okay, Third Brother, I’ll get in the car now.”

Before Bella Woods could refuse, Calvin Marshall had already sensibly taken a seat in the back of the car.

Ashton Marshall held Bella Woods’ hand and opened the door to the front seat.

Once she was seated, Ashton Marshall bent down to fasten Bella Woods’ seatbelt, pinched her cheek lightly, then stepped back and closed the car door.

Ashton Marshall drove them personally to the nearest mall.

“Have fun and buy whatever you want. If you can’t carry it, let Calvin Marshall contact the mall staff to help carry it for you. Just use the black card.”

Ashton Marshall instructed.

Bella Woods obediently listened, “Alright.”

“If you’re unhappy or tired, text me, and I’ll come to pick you up anytime.”

“Alright,” Bella Woods replied obediently again.

Calvin Marshall stood to the side, watching the usually aloof Third Young Master being overly attentive, like an elderly man nagging Bella Woods about all the details.

Worried she wouldn’t have a good time or feel uncomfortable.

After quite a while of nagging, Ashton Marshall finally drove away.

Calvin Marshall wondered if Ashton Marshall’s attitude towards Bella Woods was genuinely just a whim, as Bella claimed, like playing a game?

“Calvin?” Bella Woods called out as Ashton Marshall left, noticing that Calvin Marshall was staring off into a certain direction in a daze.

After two or three calls, Calvin Marshall finally responded.

“Is something wrong?” Bella Woods asked.

Calvin Marshall shook her head, pulling Bella Woods into the mall.

It was Bella Woods’ first time shopping with someone her age, and Calvin’s shopping style was rather wild.

With a black card in hand, nearly every store saw her make a purchase.

Before Bella Woods could take a proper look around, Calvin had already done a round of shopping.

In the blink of an eye, a procession of mall staff followed behind them, carrying their belongings, attracting quite a bit of attention in the mall.

Bella Woods was a bit overwhelmed by this display, and while Calvin was lost in shopping, she looked for an excuse to sit in an ice cream shop to enjoy ice cream and escape the limelight.

“Bella Woods, it really is you.”

Bella was enjoying her ice cream when she heard someone call her name, prompting her to turn around instinctively.

“Ethan…?” Bella tried to recall the person’s name, “Ethan Marshall?”

“Didn’t expect you to remember me,” Ethan Marshall remarked, surprised that she recalled his name.

“I’ve got a good memory,” Bella Woods said with a smile.

“Gotten back with Third Young Master?” Ethan asked.

The last time they met, Bella Woods wasn’t in a good state.

Ashton Marshall had practically taken Bella Woods away forcefully.

“There wasn’t really anything between us,” Bella Woods smiled.

She remembered that the relationship between Ashton Marshall and Ethan Marshall wasn’t particularly friendly.

Ethan Marshall sat beside Bella Woods, “About last time, I mentioned there was a secret between me and Third Brother that I hadn’t told you. I can tell you about it today.”
