Dump My Ex, Dive into Love with His Billionaire Uncle-Chapter 202: Her Emotions Also Need to Be Respected
Chapter 202: Chapter 202: Her Emotions Also Need to Be Respected
Calvin Marshall’s car speed was getting faster and faster, but Ashton Marshall’s car was closely following behind, unable to open up any distance.
Finally, Calvin Marshall directly took a shortcut, turned a corner, and stopped the car.
"You get out first, I’ll go talk to my Third Brother," Calvin made up his mind.
Bella Woods instinctively didn’t want to trouble Calvin: "This is between me and the Third Young Master, why don’t you go first, I..."
"He’s my Third Brother, I can make things clear with him." Calvin interrupted Bella: "Most importantly, you don’t want to face him right now, do you?"
Calvin’s words struck a chord with Bella, leaving her unable to respond.
"He’s about to catch up, you better leave quickly." Calvin urged Bella, "I’ll go home after talking to him. Go and adjust yourself. As for next time, if he seeks you out again, I won’t be able to help block him."
After some contemplation, Bella didn’t insist and got out of the car.
Mainly because when she told Ashton about the breakup, she used up all her emotions and strength; right now, she didn’t want to see Ashton at all.
Afraid of losing control of her emotions, afraid of an outpouring of feelings.
"If you need anything, contact me," Bella instructed.
Calvin nodded, "Turn around the corner ahead, and you’ll be in the city. You can go wherever you want, eat alone or play, stroll around, shop, and adjust your mood."
"Okay, I’ll go then." Bella gave Calvin a hug, said nothing more, and left towards the corner ahead.
A mere two minutes after Bella left, Ashton’s car arrived.
He parked horizontally to the side, got out, and with a slightly somber face, asked, "Where’s Bella?"
There was a hint of gentle anger in his tone.
Calvin answered truthfully, "She can’t face you right now, so I let her leave."
"Which direction did she go?" Ashton questioned Calvin with a sharp, dangerous gaze, a strong warning.
Calvin was always afraid of Ashton, and now even more so, but he still faced him bravely.
"Third Brother, Little Bella’s ideas have never been respected since she was little." Calvin expressed the thoughts he’d prepared earlier, "She was forcibly left at the old house to take care of two elders."
"She grew up in Peace City, was arranged to get engaged to Oliver, and in all these events, she was passive. No one ever cared if she was willing to accept these arrangements, and no one respected her current emotions."
Ashton didn’t respond to Calvin’s words, just kept a cold face, but the earlier sense of danger eased considerably.
Calvin realized that his words had an effect and continued, "I don’t know what she went through or what she said to you, but I feel that she is unhappy now, and she needs some time alone to adjust her emotions."
"Third Brother, why not respect her feelings at this moment?"
Saying this made Calvin extremely nervous, as it was the first time she’d defied Ashton’s wishes.
Ashton was always quite serious from a young age, and after the Marshall Family crisis, he single-handedly ousted Ethan Marshall from the Marshall Clan Group, threatening the old master’s position.
He inspired fear.
Under the high-pressure tension that Calvin felt, Ashton said nothing and drove away.
Calvin breathed a sigh of relief, almost falling off her motorcycle.
She just tried, using the point that Bella’s emotions were never respected to argue, anticipating failure, but hoped to buy Bella some time.
Unexpectedly, it worked, proving that Ashton was actually serious about Bella.
She just didn’t know what happened between them or what they talked about, causing Bella to have such a big emotional reaction, unwilling to even see Ashton.
...
After separating from Calvin, Bella didn’t know where to go.
Return to the Woods Family?
Impossible.
Go back to the house near the school?
Didn’t want to.
Clearly, it was a house just for herself, but it was filled with all the memories of Ashton, and Bella didn’t want to touch them.
Go to Cascade Court?
Even more impossible.
In the end, she was still the homeless Bella Woods.
Only now did Bella realize, in just a few months, her life was already filled with all of Ashton’s shadow, and truly extracting herself wasn’t that simple.
She could only pin all her hopes on successfully studying abroad.
Bella finally found a dessert shop, ordered milk tea and some small cakes, and sat at the window’s edge, hoping to enjoy the street view, have some cakes and desserts, and feel a bit better.
Kind of healing.
But when two people sat across from her, all her healing went down the drain.
"What a coincidence running into you here," Nina Sutton smiled warmly at Bella.
She always seemed to maintain that gentle demeanor, pure and holy like the moonlight.
Beside her, Ethan Marshall waved hello, different from the other members of the Marshall family with their aggressive features, Ethan had a more delicate appearance, slender build, more like a slim figure.
"I don’t think it’s a coincidence," Bella concluded after observing the two seated across, "You must have known I was here and came to find me."
She straightforwardly exposed them.
Neither was embarrassed by the reveal and even exchanged a light laugh.
"I told you, this kid is a prodigy, very smart. She can guess many things without beating around the bush," Ethan chuckled.
Nina nodded, "I happen to like communicating with smart people, no need to work hard."
"What do you want to say to me?" Bella wasn’t in the mood for their back-and-forth chatter.
Since they came prepared, she wanted them to finish and leave, returning her peace.
"I thought this time you’d react the same as last time, unwilling to listen to what I have to say. Or rather, leave immediately," Nina expressed her surprise at Bella’s attitude.
Bella countered, "If I leave now, won’t you just find another chance to talk to me?"
She just didn’t want to add more trouble.
Solve it in one go; no one bothers her afterward. Quietly wait for the Hughes Family banquet to end, then she could go abroad and start a new life.
"Bella, you’re quite interesting," Nina gave her an evaluation, "Not only are you smart, but you also have a good character. No wonder Ashton chose you as my substitute."
What Bella least wanted to hear was this, but Nina still said it.
She showed no emotion on her face, but her hand resting on her thigh had already clenched into a fist, swallowing Nina’s words with force.
"So, what do you want to discuss with me?" Bella directly asked their purpose, not wanting to continue the roundabout conversation, wasting time.
