Chapter 139: Chapter 139: Prank, Teasing Third Young Master Marshall
“Ashton, I wanna bring you here whenever you want.”
Bella Woods was quite surprised. “Aren’t you really averse to this type of place?”
She was soone who noticed details. From the mont the Bentley drove into the old district, she sensed that Ashton Marshall didn’t like such ssy places.
Originally, she just wanted to grab so stinky tofu and grilled sausages and leave.
“You like it.” Ashton stated plainly.
He couldn’t bring himself to like this place, but if such a place made Bella Woods happy, that was the most important thing.
Plus, it was this kind of place that healed her before he even t her.
Otherwise, he might not have had the chance to et Bella Woods.
Out of pity, Ashton indulged her, bending down to speak gently to Bella Woods, “Just can’t co every day.”
Bella turned her gaze away and stuffed a large piece of stinky tofu into her mouth, mumbling, “Got it.”
“Miss, your gentleman really spoils you.”
The sausage vendor packed three grilled sausages and handed them to Ashton.
“She’s not my gentleman,” Bella said earnestly. “He’s my younger brother.”
“What?” The vendor’s face was filled with shock.
“Yeah, we’re siblings from a second marriage family. I’m actually forty years old, and he just graduated college. But we’re deeply in love, and we’ve decided to elope and leave everything behind after this al.”
The sausage vendor blinked in disbelief, trying to digest Bella’s words.
While it seed absurd, the earnestness with which Bella spoke made it seem within the realm of possibility in a world full of oddities…
The sausage vendor turned to Ashton with a pleading look.
But Ashton nodded in cooperation, “Thank you, this is the last al we’ll have in this city.”
He took the sausages, held Bella’s hand, and left, amidst the vendor’s bewildered and disbelieving gaze.
Bella burst into laughter after walking a distance, leaning sticky and close in Ashton’s arms, “Talking nonsense with a straight face, it’s really fun.”
Ashton lowered his gaze gently watching her.
But when Bella’s eyes lit up at the sight of durians at a fruit stand ahead, Ashton’s gaze could no longer remain gentle.
Stinky tofu was already the limit of acceptance, adding a durian to the mix was a sensory explosion.
“We should head ba—”
“Ashton, I want to eat durian!”
Bella shouted excitedly before Ashton could take her away, already rushing towards the durians.
Holding the now empty stinky tofu and sausages tray, Ashton followed Bella with a resigned expression.
Bella was seriously picking out durians, finally choosing the most fragrant one for the vendor.
Keeping a fair distance, Ashton paid while the vendor was handling the durian.
During the ti she finished eating two sausages, and with the last Ashton worried she’d eat too much, so he finished it for her.
He took out a prepared wet wipe from his pocket to clean Bella’s hands.
Once the durian was ready, Ashton carried it ho with Bella, preventing her from having any on the way.
They returned to Bella’s place near the school.
Upon arriving ho, Ashton texted his staff to take care of the car.
Bella couldn’t wait, she ran to the balcony holding the durian to eat.
Although she acted it up, she could see Ashton’s distaste for durians, he disliked the stinky tofu too, but at least he could tolerate the sll, while durian was his total nesis.
Eating durian by herself, she chatted online with Calvin Marshall sharing the durian and the street food from today.
She initially thought Calvin wasn’t interested in these, but Calvin responded eagerly, “Next ti you wanna eat, going with my Third Brother isn’t fun, he hates stinky tofu and can’t stand durian. You gotta bring , and we’ll go crazy eating down the whole street.”
Calvin Marshall: “I wanna eat durian too.”
Bella thought for a mont and replied: “Then co over tomorrow and have the remaining half.”
She even sent a picture of the half-eaten durian.
On the other side, Calvin was so happy he sent several excited emojis.
Rip.
The balcony door opened, Ashton looked at her, “Who are you chatting with so happily?”
“Sixty, I invited her for durian, turns out she likes durian too, she’ll co over tomorrow for it.” Bella shook her phone showing Ashton.
Ashton casually took her phone, made a call, and reported Bella’s address.
“Who are you giving the address to?” Bella asked in confusion.
“To Calvin Marshall’s place,” Ashton replied succinctly.
Simultaneously, the doorbell rang, Ashton went to open the door with the durian in hand, handing it over.
Bella followed behind him, “Are you having the durian sent to Sixty?”
“Yes.” Ashton replied succinctly, went to the bathroom to thoroughly wash his hands with soap, ensuring no durian traces were left.
Not wanting to share a room with durian for a single second.
Bella’s eyes shifted; she suddenly had a mischievous idea.
“Ashton.” Bella grabbed Ashton’s hand, leaning into his embrace, raising her head, “Give a kiss.”
Ashton stared at her.
Bella pouted, “I want a deep kiss like before, not a light one.”
Ashton covered Bella’s mouth, preventing her from getting closer to his lips.
“You’re doing this on purpose.” Ashton chuckled in exasperation.
Knowing his aversion to durian, she still tilted her head up for a kiss.
Bella pulled Ashton’s hand away, “I’m asking you for a kiss, if you don’t kiss , don’t kiss or touch in the future.”
After saying, Bella added, “I was thinking, since the moon is so lovely tonight, we could get close or sothing. But if you don’t want to… then forget it.”
Regretfully leaving Ashton’s embrace, Bella started to walk away.
Just making it to the door, Ashton lifted her from behind, seating her on the bathroom’s sink counter.
Ashton’s lips curled into a dangerous smile. “Since Miss Bella Woods so earnestly invites, naturally, I can’t refuse.”
With that, he squeezed toothpaste onto Bella’s toothbrush, and holding her cheeks, he brushed her teeth inside and out.
Bella was sowhat resistant, she rely intended to tease Ashton.
The satisfaction of teasing a man as godlike as him atop the pyramid—emotionally exhilarating.
But she forgot, a man like Ashton isn’t one to be trifled with easily.
After thoroughly cleaning her teeth, Ashton imdiately kissed her, tilting Bella’s body back against the sink mirror while holding her waist, making sure she was slightly more comfortable in this position.
Yet when his hand slid beneath her clothes, caressing her smooth skin inciting ripples in Bella’s heart.
“You’ve had a long day, ti to bathe, my darling.”
The man kissed her earlobe, voice alluring, infused with a captivating huskiness…
