Dump My Ex, Dive into Love with His Billionaire Uncle-Chapter 208: Wishing for Constant Happiness Between Him and Her
Chapter 208: Chapter 208: Wishing for Constant Happiness Between Him and Her
"Happy."
Ashton Marshall tightened his arms, holding Bella Woods a bit closer: "I always feel very at ease with you."
There’s an indescribable tranquility.
He can’t stand to see her wronged and hopes she stays by his side often. Only by taking good care of her can he truly feel at ease.
"The happiest?" Bella Woods couldn’t help but ask.
She admitted it; she was starting to feel jealous.
Jealous of the time Ashton spent studying abroad, jealous of Nina Sutton being by his side when he was most disheartened and in need of company.
It’s a period that cannot be replaced.
"Yes, the happiest." Ashton Marshall planted a kiss on Bella Woods’ forehead.
Bella Woods turned and snuggled into Ashton Marshall’s embrace, her face rubbing against his chest.
"Thank you."
Even if it was just a lie, at that moment, she felt greatly comforted.
Ashton Marshall patted the back of Bella Woods’ head and couldn’t help but kiss her forehead again.
This feeling of coaxing and comforting, Bella Woods felt it, regardless of Ashton Marshall’s reasons for offering it to her.
For Bella Woods, it was enough.
During the short time they spent together, knowing he was willing to cheer her up because she was upset about his feelings for someone else was already enough.
...
The next day.
When Bella Woods woke up, she found the breakfast Ashton Marshall had made for her and a note on the dining table.
[Eat well. I’ll be around at Marshall Clan Group these days and won’t be on a business trip, feel free to contact me anytime.]
Bella Woods’ first reaction upon seeing the note was that Ashton Marshall’s return might be because of someone else he cares deeply for.
She put the note away and ate breakfast quietly.
She also put away any budding expectations and emotions.
The countdown between her and him had already begun, and Bella Woods didn’t want any unpleasantness to arise. Her thoughts remained the same as they were initially.
She wanted to have a beautiful memory in Peace City.
Then, to never set foot here again.
After finishing her meal and tidying up, Bella Woods took a car to the Hughes Family.
Cyan Marshall was instructing the housekeeper to prepare Bella Woods’ favorite foods and a small cake for her when she arrived for lunch.
The housekeeper happily took notes.
Over the years, because Cyan Marshall liked her, Bella Woods frequently visited the Hughes Family, where she even had her own room.
It could be said that everyone in the Hughes Family, except for Oliver Hughes, liked Bella Woods, the well-behaved and quiet girl.
"Bella, why did you come by yourself? Didn’t you say you would tell me when you got up, so I could arrange a car to pick you up?"
Cyan Marshall was quite surprised when she saw Bella Woods.
"I had too much for breakfast, so I thought since I would be coming over for lunch at Aunt Cyan’s, I’d take a cab and walk a bit to digest so I could eat more at lunch."
Bella Woods affectionately held Cyan Marshall’s arm, acting coquettishly.
Having spent more time with Calvin Marshall, she learned to express her emotions.
Cyan Marshall, as someone who noticed Bella Woods’ change, was naturally delighted.
"You." Cyan Marshall pinched Bella Woods’ nose: "You clearly just didn’t want to trouble me."
"Miss Woods has always been such a considerate and thoughtful young lady," the housekeeper said with a warm smile, looking at Bella Woods with the affection of a well-loved daughter.
Seeing Bella Woods’ changes, she couldn’t help but feel that Oliver Hughes really had too bad a temper and wasn’t suited for such a good girl.
Look, as soon as the engagement was called off, everything changed.
"Mom, I won’t be eating at home, you..."
Oliver Hughes stepped out of the elevator, not properly dressed, and was headed out without looking back.
Until he caught sight of Bella Woods at the door, he was surprised: "Why are you here?"
"How can you speak like that?" Cyan Marshall immediately reprimanded: "I invited Bella over to hang out, is there a problem? She’s going to be your sister now, so she’ll often come, and you’ll frequently see her here."
"I was just surprised, I didn’t know she was coming."
Oliver Hughes mumbled, then suddenly turned back, heading again toward the elevator.
"Why are you coming back? Didn’t you say you wouldn’t be home for lunch today?" Cyan Marshall found Oliver Hughes quite vexing lately.
Ungrateful child.
Can’t even understand his own feelings; having him around is no use.
By now, the person he liked has become a sister, yet he still hasn’t realized it. He’s hopelessly slow in matters of the heart!
"I’m tired, just want to come back and rest. Call me when it’s time for lunch."
With that, Oliver Hughes entered the elevator and went upstairs.
Cyan Marshall was quite annoyed but didn’t want to mince words with him, instructing the housekeeper before pulling Bella Woods to the side to listen.
"The dresses arrived yesterday, prepared lots of skirts."
Cyan Marshall seated Bella Woods on the sofa, adding, "This time, they’re skirts more fitting your style, so you don’t need to wear overly glamorous dresses just for the parties and end up starving."
"It’s alright." Bella Woods responded with a giggle.
Cyan Marshall pinched Bella Woods’ cheeks: "I think you’ve gained some weight recently. Gaining’s good, you look better with some weight on, I like seeing you chubby, it’s cute."
Bella Woods didn’t have much to say, only giving a sweet smile.
Cyan Marshall had called over several brand representatives, who brought new collections and models to the house to display for Bella Woods to choose from.
As for the models, of course, they had appearances similar to Bella Woods’ to get a general idea.
After exchanging a glance with Cyan Marshall, the show began.
In such situations, Bella Woods actually didn’t have much to do; Cyan Marshall meticulously examined everything to select outfits that would look good on Bella Woods.
Bags and accessories too, everything would be arranged for Bella Woods.
"These bags are quite nice. I see how it’s quite a hassle for you to carry big and small bags to school, this one with wheels would be convenient," Cyan Marshall directly showed Bella Woods a suitcase.
It was a kind of backpack suitcase, capable of being carried or wheeled.
"Aunt Cyan, it’s not necessary. The things I carry for school are for drawing, they’re not heavy," Bella Woods insisted it wasn’t necessary: "Besides, I don’t carry them often..."
"But it’s necessary."
Oliver Hughes’ voice came from behind Bella Woods.
He ruffled Bella Woods’ hair from behind, saying seriously: "Seeing you carrying such a heavy backpack every day, you’ve become small. You should change it, or you’ll get smaller in the future."
"How could you talk like that!" Cyan Marshall was displeased with Oliver Hughes speaking to her this way. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
Oliver Hughes sat nonchalantly on a single sofa nearby, shrugging: "She hasn’t officially joined the family yet, and you treat her like something else. After the banquet, once she officially becomes the Hughes family daughter, will I lose my standing?"
Cyan Marshall simply tossed a pillow at Oliver Hughes: "I never planned on letting you have any standing in the Hughes Family."
Ungrateful child.
"Bella Woods, maybe you should just become the daughter-in-law instead, don’t be my sister, my mom’s extravagance could kill me." Oliver Hughes said to Bella Woods.
