Chapter 120: Chapter 120: Missed Her for a Lifeti Chapter 120: Chapter 120: Missed Her for a Lifeti Bella Woods called imdiately and said, “Old man, Oliver Hughes wants to see you. I’m at the entrance of Paradise World. Are you coming or not?”
After speaking, Bella Woods handed the phone to Oliver Hughes: “Here, you can talk to the old man properly.”
Oliver Hughes looked suspiciously at the string of numbers on the phone screen, tentatively taking the phone.
“Hello?”
Oliver Hughes opened his mouth uncertainly, his eyes still on Bella Woods.
Bella Woods just stared at him without speaking.
Until a familiar voice ca from the phone…
“Oliver?”
Oliver Hughes’s face imdiately turned sour: “Uncle Woods?”
“It’s . Is there sothing you need, Oliver?”
Ron Woods asked cautiously over the phone.
Since the engagent party ended, Ron Woods had been on edge every day concerning the cooperation between the Woods Family and the Hughes Family.
Luckily, the cooperation had been proceeding normally.
And Daniel Hughes also hinted that as long as Bella Woods was happy, the cooperation would continue; if Bella Woods was unhappy, the cooperation was uncertain.
So, during this ti, Ron Woods had been letting Bella Woods be.
To put it plainly, he didn’t dare to have any opinion about Bella Woods, afraid that if things fell apart with the Hughes Family, he’d suffer losses.
For Ron Woods, not making things difficult for Bella Woods after the engagent party and rely blaming her a bit was the best he could do for her.
He now wanted to use the relationship between Bella Woods and Ashton Marshall to have Bella introduce Rose Woods to Ashton Marshall, so that Rose could beco Mrs. Ashton Marshall, the noblest woman in all of Peace City.
And the Woods Family could firmly join the ranks of the prestigious families in Peace City, with an imasurable future.
To Ron Woods, this was sothing Bella Woods should do for the family.
Seeing that Oliver Hughes had not responded, Ron Woods asked tentatively again, “Oliver?”
“Nothing.”
Oliver Hughes directly hung up, handed the phone back to Bella Woods, his expression particularly unpleasant.
“Are you playing with ?” Oliver Hughes asked irritably.
Bella Woods retorted, “Didn’t you want to find the old man? Isn’t Ron Woods the old man?”
“Pfft.”
Ethan Marshall, who had been watching the scene, was amused by Bella Woods’s words.
Oliver Hughes turned to glare at him on the spot, “What are you laughing at?”
Ethan Marshall raised his hands in surrender: “I won’t interrupt you.”
He led Tessa Sutton away.
Although he wanted to watch the drama unfold, it was not appropriate for Tessa Sutton to stay there any longer.
As Tessa Sutton was led away, she kept gazing at Bella Woods until Ethan Marshall forcibly put her in the car and she had to avert her eyes.
“Brother Ethan, she really looks like.”
“And then?” Ethan Marshall questioned back.
This left Tessa Sutton montarily lost for words.
Yes, and then what?
Could it change anything?
Ethan Marshall drove away with a cold face.
Just as his car left, a black business car stopped beside Bella Woods.
Bella Woods had been watching the car approach with anticipation, tilting her head, but as soon as the driver got out and opened the door, her gaze turned disappointed.
“It’s not him…”
But in the next second, Bella Woods’s face lit up with a smile, looking at the person getting out: “Aunt Cyan.”
Cyan Marshall was quite surprised to see Bella Woods smiling and calling her like that, knowing Bella Woods’s reserved nature, she rarely spoke to her this way.
“Bella, why did you drink so much?” Cyan Marshall asked as soon as she got close, slling the strong scent of alcohol on Bella Woods.
Bella Woods hiccuped alcoholically: “Sixty said to broaden my horizons, so I drank a little.”
She clung to Cyan Marshall coquettishly: “Aunt Cyan, why are you here? Aunt Cyan, Bella really missed you. Since the engagent party ended, I haven’t been able to see you.”
“My dear Aunt Cyan, you’re the one who cares for Bella the most, Bella really likes you, really likes you a lot.”
Bella Woods was almost glued to Cyan Marshall, her voice becoming more choked as she spoke.
The usually reserved girl, who never expressed her emotions, was now airing her thoughts.
Clinging to Cyan Marshall, full of warmth, Cyan Marshall was caught off guard.
But after the surprise, there was a deep sense of heartache.
“Good girl, Aunt Cyan likes you very much too. Even if you’re not my daughter-in-law, you’re still like a daughter to . Do co visit Aunt Cyan often, okay?”
Cyan Marshall pulled Bella Woods up, helping to fix her hair.
Seeing the girl look so aggrieved, her heart ached terribly.
“You never act cute with usually. Only when you’re drunk do you show this side.”
“I can’t be your daughter; the seniority gets mixed up.” Bella Woods was only thinking about being Aunt Cyan’s daughter, which would an she’d have to call Ashton Marshall ‘Uncle,’ and then she couldn’t have anything with Uncle.
She missed Uncle so much…
“Aunt Cyan, why didn’t he co to pick up?” Bella Woods asked, full of grievance.
She had been standing at the door for so long; why hadn’t she seen Ashton Marshall yet.
“Is he tired of it?”
Had the ga of nurturing ended, so he didn’t care?
“Ignoring .”
Bella Woods murmured, her tears of grievance dripping down one by one.
“Ignoring .”
“If he doesn’t care for , what should I do?”
She wanted to go abroad with him.
She wanted to stay together for a long, long ti.
But he didn’t have the interest to stay with her for a long, long ti.
The more Bella Woods thought about it, the more wronged she felt, to the point she couldn’t stand but simply squatted down, hugged her knees, and cried softly.
Cyan Marshall looked at her and sighed.
Just as Oliver Hughes was coming over, Cyan Marshall reminded him: “You get in the car first and let the driver take you ho, I’ll take Bella back.”
“I’ll take her.”
“Oliver Hughes, do you know why I ca over?” Cyan Marshall looked at Oliver Hughes sternly.
Oliver Hughes remained silent.
“I only found out today that after the engagent party, you kept looking for Bella, causing her distress. I’m here to take you back and also to tell you not to look for Bella anymore.”
“Why?” Oliver Hughes blurted out, “She is my fiancée…”
“Was,” Cyan Marshall reminded, “when she was your fiancée, you didn’t cherish her. Now that she’s no longer related to you, stop calling her your fiancée. Late regrets are worth less than grass. Oliver Hughes, you’ve missed Bella Woods in this lifeti, with no chance for redemption.”
Cyan Marshall, usually gentle and gracious, was always gentle whether facing Bella Woods or the reckless Oliver Hughes, but this ti she spoke harshly and directly.
The struggling Oliver Hughes, who still wavered over his relationship with Bella Woods, instantly turned pale.
Cyan Marshall’s words ‘Oliver Hughes, you’ve missed Bella Woods in this lifeti, with no chance for redemption’ struck Oliver Hughes completely dumbfounded.
He froze on the spot, unable to react.
He just watched Bella Woods squatting on the ground and crying quietly; although it was only two steps away, it was the first ti Oliver Hughes felt that there was an insurmountable rift between him and Bella Woods.
