Dump My Ex, Dive into Love with His Billionaire Uncle-Chapter 180: He Wants to Make Up for Everything She Lacks

Chapter 180: Chapter 180: He Wants to Make Up for Everything She Lacks

Bella Woods summoned a great deal of courage to ask those few questions.

Ashton Marshall’s response was certain: "Yes."

He looked her in the eye as he said it, so assured and serious that Bella Woods’ anxious heart finally calmed down.

She propped up her body slightly, wrapping her arms around Ashton’s neck: "Okay, I’ll wait for you to come back."

If, if...

If what was between them wasn’t a game, if it was genuine emotion, Bella wanted to fight against everything for it at that moment.

She wanted to gain Cyan Marshall’s blessing.

If her identity didn’t permit it, then she would go abroad, have a lifelong secret relationship, or a long-distance relationship, she could accept it all.

She was truly, deeply attached to the feeling of being cared for by Ashton.

So happy, she couldn’t bear to let it go.

Bella held Ashton tightly, as if she had made some decisions in her heart.

Ashton touched Bella’s head, sensing her feelings: "Will you wait for me to come back like a good girl?"

"Okay."

Knock, knock, knock.

A knock came at this moment, and Tim Season entered: "Third Young Master, it’s time."

Bella hurried to leave Ashton’s embrace, but Ashton held her head and gave her a deep French kiss.

After the kiss ended, Bella sneakily glanced at Tim still at the doorway, feeling quite embarrassed.

"I’ll see you back first," Ashton said, lifting Bella up directly.

Bella’s face turned red, too shy to lift it, she nestled her face into Ashton’s neck, letting him carry her out of the office and take the elevator straight to the underground garage.

Originally, Ashton planned to take Bella back to the apartment near the school, but Bella remembered the door Oliver Hughes had smashed in, and that someone was coming to fix it tomorrow.

Bella quickly made an excuse: "Can I go to Cascade Court?"

"Mm?" Ashton was quite surprised: "Didn’t you dislike it there?"

"It has your scent; I’m afraid I’ll miss you too much." Bella still wasn’t used to saying overly sweet words, feeling her cheeks burning hot as if on fire.

Her heart was pounding.

But Bella knew that her nervousness included a bit of discomfort from having to hide the fact of the door being smashed.

"Alright, I’ll take you to Cascade Court." Ashton didn’t question further: "For your afternoon classes, someone will bring you meals and take you to school. If you need anything, just tell the person who picks you up."

"Okay."

The rest of the car ride was silent, and they soon arrived at Cascade Court.

Ashton carried Bella to the room at Cascade Court, settled her in, and then left.

In the underground garage, Tim remained sitting in the car, waiting patiently.

Seeing Ashton get in the car, Tim couldn’t help but voice the question he’d held in since the hotpot meal.

"Third Young Master, do you actually prefer younger women?" Tim asked, "Or do you just like doting on kids?"

Ashton glanced at him: "It’s not about age or liking to dote on kids."

"Then what is it?"

"She wasn’t pampered when she was a child, and I want to make up for that gap," Ashton said, with a lingering tenderness in his eyes.

Given his status, he had met countless exceptional women, many of whom were strong-willed and beautiful, independent, and could be considered his equals.

Of course, he’d met many delicate young girls like Bella Woods, but she was the only one he felt compelled to make up to.

From the first moment he saw her, he felt a sense of déjà vu, leading him to be unable to bear seeing her bullied or her life lacking the affection every little girl should have.

Ashton’s words took Tim by surprise. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

"I always thought you just liked her type."

But Ashton’s explanation made Tim realize that it wasn’t just her type he liked; he was genuinely tied to Bella.

It wasn’t about liking to dote on kids, but rather that Bella, overlooked by her family as a child, had never been pampered, so Ashton wanted to make up for it.

It wasn’t about liking to care for people, but the feeling that Bella had never been properly looked after from childhood, so he wanted to compensate for all her losses.

"If that’s the case, what will you do about Oliver Hughes’ banquet next week, Third Young Master?" Tim asked. "Surely you aren’t going to let the Hughes Family acknowledge Bella Woods and make her their heiress?"

And then, respectfully call Ashton ’Uncle’?

That would be... quite taboo.

Faced with Tim’s speculation, Ashton only gave a meaningful smile without giving any verbal response.

...

The next day.

Bella Woods woke up in the bedroom at Cascade Court.

The place seemed filled with Ashton’s essence, making Bella especially miss the man as soon as she woke up.

When she’d first come to Cascade Court, Bella had been very averse, learning of Ashton’s identity and initially intent on keeping their lives separate forever, she hadn’t properly looked at Cascade Court.

Now, upon waking, she could truly observe Ashton’s residence.

Like his character, it was very meticulous, and the décor of Cascade Court exuded a low-key luxury, simple yet bright, mostly in black, white, and gray tones without excessive twists and turns, but also somewhat rigid.

Bella looked around and then went to wash up and change clothes.

Though she hadn’t stayed at Cascade Court much, her belongings there were quite complete, especially clothes and cosmetics, of which there seemed to be an overwhelming amount. Bella was at a bit of a loss on what to choose.

Yet like most girls, she had little resistance to pretty clothes and cosmetics, trying on several outfits.

Meanwhile, a video call from the security room came in with a beep.

Bella walked over and answered it.

"Hello, Miss Bella, there’s a Miss Sutton here asking to come up. Should we let her pass?" the security officer politely inquired.

Miss Sutton?

Bella was quite baffled, her first thought being that here was Cascade Court, and this Miss Sutton might be looking for Ashton.

"The Third Young Master isn’t here," Bella communicated to the security officer.

There was a pause before the security officer replied, "Miss Sutton said she’s here to see you."

Bella was utterly confused: "Sorry, I don’t know any Miss Sutton."

The mention of Miss Sutton made Bella first think of Tessa Sutton.

But she figured that Tessa didn’t know about her relationship with Ashton and even if she wanted to find her, she wouldn’t find Cascade Court. As for who this Miss Sutton was and why she came to Cascade Court looking for her, Bella was very curious but had an instinct that it wasn’t anything good.

Moreover, Ashton wasn’t around, and their relationship shouldn’t be exposed to too many people.

Thus, after addressing the matter, she hung up.

Soon after, Bella received a message from Calvin Marshall, sending her an address.

Calvin Marshall: Come find me here.

Bella was perplexed, but because it was Calvin, she replied with an ’okay,’ and after the assistant Ashton arranged to look after her arrived with a meal, she asked the assistant to take her to the address Calvin had sent.
