Chapter 204: Chapter 204: Who Can Resist the Whining of a Sweet and Soft Girl?

Dessert Shop.

Bella Woods’ sudden departure caught both Ethan Marshall and Nina Sutton by surprise.

Nina looked at Ethan helplessly and said, "She seems unable to let go of her feelings for Ashton. What should I do? Should I give up?"

As she spoke, tears streamed down her face, hitting the ground one by one, a truly pitiful sight.

Ethan hurriedly handed a tissue to Nina. "Don’t worry. She probably can’t let go for the moment, but she will eventually understand, because ultimately, in Ashton’s heart, you are the one."

"Maybe things will change..." Nina shook her head. "Or maybe it has been my delusion from the start. Back then, it was just my wishful thinking to approach Ashton. He never had any feelings for me..."

Nina choked on her words, unable to continue.

"Don’t overthink this. I promised I’d help you. I’ll definitely make sure you and Ashton reconcile." Ethan held Nina’s hand firmly.

"But..."

"Ashton’s happiness is more important than anything. Since you had a past relationship overseas and it was only due to your last name being Sutton that things didn’t work out, I’ll help repair your fate."

Ethan was very determined.

To him, nothing was more important than Ashton Marshall’s happiness.

"But Ashton told me before that we were over and that I should stay well in the Sutton Family and not contact him." Nina expressed her grievance through sobs.

"That’s because Ashton was angry at the time. Those were clearly words said in anger. Don’t give up," Ethan assured her, "Bella is just caught in a mental block right now. She’ll realize later that she is merely a substitute and nothing more than an obstacle between you two."

Hearing his words, Nina immediately fell into Ethan’s embrace. "Ethan, thank you. Having you is my greatest fortune."

Nina tightly clutched Ethan’s sleeve, her gaze vaguely fierce.

After leaving the dessert shop, Bella Woods ran into Calvin Marshall on the road.

"My older brother..." Calvin, worried, looked at Bella’s slightly pale face, noticing her obviously poor mood.

"I didn’t run into your older brother. I was just wandering around a bit, and I’m tired."

Saying this, Bella simply sat on the steps nearby.

It happened to be at the entrance of a mall, where the flower bed border could act as seating.

Calvin didn’t sit with Bella but said, "Wait for me."

Then, he quickly ran off.

Bella didn’t know where Calvin had gone. Sometimes she would have sudden whims and do interesting things.

Little did Bella know, ever since she met Calvin, Ashton had been following them.

Ashton sat in his car, neither too far nor too close to Bella, able to clearly observe her expression but ensuring she wouldn’t notice him.

Ashton knew she was unhappy.

After all, he was many years older than Bella and could sense that things were troubling her. But the issue with Nina was indeed complicated.

He needed to resolve it thoroughly to give her an explanation.

Therefore, when Oliver Hughes suggested they should visit the Woods Family, Ashton agreed and found the opportunity to get Oliver to leave, intending to have dinner with her and watch the sunset.

He didn’t expect her to speak words of parting to him.

Moreover, she ran away before he could explain, not even giving him the chance.

To chase after her, Calvin would bring up her never-before-respected emotions, leaving him no choice but to give up approaching her.

Watching Bella’s desolate look, Ashton felt distressed.

Initially, knowing she was Oliver’s fiancée, he thought of giving up and taking separate paths, believing it was just a mess of fate, and he shouldn’t compete with a child.

However, the way Oliver mistreated her made him very uncomfortable.

It felt like something he cherished greatly was trampled on.

Back then, Ashton’s thoughts were simple. He just wanted to keep Bella by his side, take good care of her, tell everyone she was a wonderful and excellent girl whom they did not cherish.

Even up to now, Ashton looked at Bella, and he had no answers for where this special feeling came from, but he just didn’t want Bella to be unhappy.

He felt Bella should be bright, joyful, akin to a little sun.

He even vaguely remembered seeing her as bright as a little sun, once upon a time.

Such a feeling was very special.

Meanwhile, Bella had no idea Ashton was watching her. Her mood was initially not great, and then Calvin suddenly ran back holding a cartoon pig balloon string in his right hand and an ice cream stacked with several layers in his left.

Bella looked at him, surprised.

Calvin smiled. "To cheer up a child."

"I’m not a child," Bella couldn’t help but laugh.

"My seniority is higher, and you’re a few years younger than me, so if you do the math, you’re a child indeed." Calvin handed the ice cream to Bella. "Quick, before it melts, hurry hurry."

Prompted by Calvin, Bella put everything aside, quickly took the ice cream, and bit into it. Taking too big of a bite, too hastily, the cold shot straight to her forehead, causing her face to crinkle.

Calvin quickly took out his phone to capture the moment, not forgetting to tease, "I told you to eat quickly, not to eat as if your life depended on it."

It took Bella a while to recover. "I ate too hastily."

Despite herself, she pouted the words.

Calvin liked it when she acted coy, feeling Bella looked so sweet and soft, particularly adorable.

She tied the balloon string to Bella’s wrist.

"This is my first time receiving one of these, and also this." Bella was happy, shaking the ice cream in her hand.

She was happy not because of receiving these things, but because she was being cheered up.

"Sixty, it’s so nice to know you."

As Calvin sat down, Bella snuggled into her arms.

"Have you noticed something?" Calvin asked.

"What?" Bella was surprised, raising her head to look at Calvin.

"When you get close to someone, you start acting coy, wanting to snuggle." Calvin stated honestly, "When I saw how clingy you were with my older brother before, I was surprised considering how cold a person he is, that you would be so coy with him."

"But now, I’m not surprised at all."

Because Bella was truly so adorable, who could refuse a sweet, soft little girl being coy with them!

Mentioning Ashton, Bella still felt uncomfortable inside.

After a while, she buried her face in Calvin’s embrace and said dully, "I really like him."

Regarding her situation with Ashton, aside from Calvin, Bella couldn’t speak to anyone about it.

Apart from Calvin, she couldn’t express these emotions or feelings to anyone else. freeωebnovēl.c૦m

"But I am very rational. Even if I like him, there will come a time to let go."

"Is now that time?" Calvin didn’t offer any advice as she wasn’t the one involved, so she couldn’t understand the feelings of those involved. All she could do was ask based on what Bella expressed.
