Chapter 128: Chapter 128: Don’t Act Spoiled, I Can’t Handle It
Does Tessa Sutton have so story with the Marshall Family?
Bella Woods is naturally sensitive and perceptive, and the way Ashton Marshall and Calvin Marshall treat Tessa Sutton imdiately makes her feel that there’s sothing unusual.
However, Ashton Marshall quickly collects his emotions.
Within seconds, he switches effortlessly.
“Have you thought about what to give?” Ashton Marshall asked, closing the passenger side door and walking around the front of the car to sit in the driver’s seat.
“I don’t know, I just want to go and look.” Bella Woods finished, a little embarrassed, “I haven’t bought gifts for female friends before.”
Ashton Marshall raised an eyebrow, “So, you an you’ve bought gifts for n before?”
“Oliver Hughes,” Bella Woods said, “For his birthdays and so holidays, I’ve prepared gifts.”
Four years, without missing a single occasion.
Each ti putting in a lot of thought.
But, the other party didn’t need them.
“Oh,” Ashton Marshall nodded, “Yeah, buying gifts for an ex-fiancé is understandable. After all, you used to love him to death.”
Ashton Marshall said it lightly, but his foot pressed hard on the accelerator.
Bella Woods looked at his tense profile and couldn’t help but laugh, deliberately saying, “Yeah, I used to like him a lot; every gift was carefully prepared.”
“Oh,” Ashton Marshall replied coldly.
After three or four seconds of silence, he suddenly asked, “What did you prepare?”
“What?” Bella Woods pretended not to understand.
“The gifts. For example, what did you prepare?”
After asking, Ashton Marshall specifically added, “Don’t overthink it, just asking. You happen to be saying you didn’t know what to buy, so it could serve as a reference.”
“Items for n and items for won, is there a reference?” Bella Woods asked as if she didn’t understand.
“Even more valuable as a reference,” Ashton Marshall replied.
“Oh,” Bella Woods nodded, began counting on her fingers, “For example, the first gift, I hand-drew a necklace design, then asked Aunt Cyan for help to have it made.”
“Hmm,” Ashton Marshall replied lightly, only tightening his grip on the steering wheel, with several veins protruding from the force on the back of his hand.
“And then?” he asked again.
“Also, once for Qixi Festival, I made a music box. I drew the design myself, bought the materials and made it. It could be used as a nightlight, and the music, I learned to play the piano and recorded it myself.”
“Handmade again.” Ashton Marshall sneered, “An art student, so skilled in design?”
“I was just thinking, he should have received all kinds of gifts since childhood. I couldn’t afford expensive ones, and cheap ones didn’t seem aningful to give. It’s better to make it myself, more heartfelt.”
“Indeed, very thoughtful.” Ashton Marshall reached out and ruffled Bella Woods’s hair forcefully, making it ssy, before retracting his hand and adding four words, “Ex-fiancée.”
Bella Woods lifted her head, her hair turned into a bird’s nest, bangs covering her eyes, still able to see soone’s tense jaw and clenched teeth.
It was the first ti seeing him this angry.
Quite cute.
Bella Woods even felt a playful urge, “These are just two gifts, four years, many more were given, I’ll continue to tell you.”
“No need.”
“But I have to, or how would there be reference value.” Bella Woods tidied her hair, earnestly said, “Next is the third gift…”
Brakes!
The car suddenly stopped, interrupting Bella Woods’s words.
Ashton Marshall turned to stare at Bella Woods, “On purpose?”
Bella Woods pressed her lips hard, trying to suppress a smile, pretending to be serious, “I wasn’t, I…”
Before she finished speaking, Ashton Marshall leaned in close, nose almost touching Bella Woods’s nose.
“What am I, hmm?” The man lowered his voice, eyes full of aggression and a hint of a warning.
Warning Bella Woods, if she kept being deliberate, he would let her know what it’s like for a car to shake.
That aggressive gaze made Bella Woods quite sheepish, she quietly tugged on Ashton Marshall’s sleeve, “Uncle, I was wrong.”
The previously fierce person, imdiately softened.
“Little Bella, do you know I always fall for this act, every ti you do this?” Ashton Marshall couldn’t help but laugh.
Bella Woods blinked her clear eyes, innocent and cute, acting a little spoiled, “I really knew I was wrong.”
Ashton Marshall quickly covered her eyes, “I know, I know, I was too fierce, I won’t be fierce, okay?”
“Then apologize.” Bella Woods pulled Ashton Marshall’s hand down, her eyes bright and full of expectation.
Ashton Marshall was completely defeated by her, shook his head with a smile, pinched her cheek, “I was wrong, sorry, Bella Woods.”
“If you buy a gift, I’ll accept your apology.” Bella Woods laughed heartily, a bit cheeky.
“What do you want?”
It’s hard not to satisfy this little cutie.
Bella Woods thought seriously, “I still want a cup of bubble tea and a small cake… Can you make a small cake?”
“ make you one?” Ashton Marshall’s expression was skeptical.
Bella Woods nodded, “Make it for tomorrow night, okay?”
If it weren’t for going to Tessa Sutton’s birthday party tonight, Bella Woods would have asked Ashton Marshall to make it tonight.
“Got it.” Ashton Marshall was resigned yet indulgent, “After we pick out the gift, we’ll go buy ingredients.”
The ingredients could originally be delivered.
However, seeing the little girl’s bright eyes, Ashton Marshall suddenly felt that it might be a nice experience to buy ingredients together and then make a dessert.
Bella Woods nodded, “Okay.”
She continued sipping her bubble tea.
Ashton Marshall patted her head and continued driving.
The car drove into the underground parking of a nearby mall.
Getting out of the car, Bella Woods took sothing out of her bag and walked over to Ashton Marshall, “Uncle, bend down a little.”
She called so sweetly, Ashton Marshall could hardly resist complying.
And just as he squatted down, Bella Woods put a mask on him, then pressed down a hat too.
Ashton Marshall raised an eyebrow, “Hmm?”
“In case soone takes a picture, it wouldn’t be good,” Bella Woods said.
Also worried they might bump into soone.
After all, he’s the Third Young Master of the Marshall Family, now the one in power at the Marshall Clan Group.
Although Ashton Marshall doesn’t frequently appear in the dia, there will always be people who recognize him; bumping into them wouldn’t be ideal.
“Are you saying I’m not presentable?” Ashton Marshall raised his head to ask.
Is his face unpresentable?
“Not really, it’s just if we bump into soone we know, or if soone takes a picture, it wouldn’t be good. Anyway…”
“I’m just unpresentable.” Ashton Marshall continued Bella Woods’s sentence.
His deep eyes stared straight at her.
Bella Woods felt guilty being stared at, as if she’d done sothing to let him down.
“I, well…”
After ages, Bella Woods couldn’t get the words out, so she simply acted impulsively!
