Dump My Ex, Dive into Love with His Billionaire Uncle-Chapter 141: What else can be done? Just spoil and pamper!
Chapter 141: Chapter 141: What else can be done? Just spoil and pamper!
Ashton Marshall, finally unable to handle Bella Woods’ commotion, had to carry her to the bathroom, using warm water to wipe her face and body to make her feel a bit more comfortable.
Fortunately, as long as Ashton held Bella, she would sleep very quietly.
The night passed peacefully.
The next day, when Bella Woods woke up, her body was not very uncomfortable.
Having gone through such a tiring night, she would usually feel like her body was falling apart, but today she felt okay, even somewhat refreshed.
What Bella didn’t know was that Ashton stayed awake all night, massaging her to ease her discomfort.
It was the scent of food outside that got her reluctantly out of bed.
With her messy hair and bewildered expression from just waking up, Bella Woods went out to find Ashton.
Ashton Marshall was in casual pants, without a shirt, wearing a black apron, busy in the kitchen.
Sensing the movement, he turned around and saw Bella Woods standing with her head down at the doorway.
The little girl already looked pitiful, standing there dazedly, making her even more endearingly heart-stirring.
Ashton went over, bending down to kiss Bella Woods’ slightly pouting lips, "Awake? Is there anywhere you feel uncomfortable?"
Bella Woods shook her head, "A bit hungry."
Ashton tidied her messy hair, "Go freshen up first, breakfast will be ready soon, hmm?"
"I don’t want porridge; I want dumplings." Bella glanced at the porridge being cooked.
"Okay, I’ll make them for you, alright?"
"I want fresh ones, not frozen." Bella insisted, shaking her head.
Ashton was quite helpless but still agreed, "Okay, I’ll make them now."
"And I want freshly fried dough sticks, that pancake too, and, and..." Bella rambled off a list of breakfast foods.
Listening, Ashton nodded with a smile, "I promise, go freshen up, take a rest, and everything you just mentioned will be ready for you to eat."
Bella finally nodded in satisfaction.
As she walked back to her room, she suddenly turned back, stood on tiptoe to kiss Ashton’s chin, "Good morning, Third Young Master."
In fact, she wanted to kiss his cheek but wasn’t tall enough.
After the kiss, she exchanged a glance with Ashton and then shyly ran back into the room.
Ashton stood there, touching the spot he was kissed, helplessly shaking his head, chuckling, "Every time, it’s like this, teasing and then running away, never taking responsibility."
Even if she did take responsibility, she wouldn’t be able to handle it and would cry aggrievedly.
He would always have to stop and coax her to calm down.
Ashton was quite helpless, yet there was nothing he could do with such a little thing.
What could he do?
Pamper and indulge her, of course.
Bella Woods freshened up, changed into some loungewear, tied her hair up, making herself look neat and refreshed, finally feeling a bit more comfortable.
Just when she was about to go to the kitchen to find Ashton, someone banged on the door to the house.
Bella paused, watching Ashton walking out from the kitchen.
From outside, a voice was calling, "Bella Woods, open the door for me, immediately!"
Jade Patel!
Her mother.
Bella suddenly widened her eyes, looking at Ashton standing in the kitchen, then again at the door being pounded on noisily.
"Bella Woods, open the door quickly, if you don’t open the door, I’ll have someone come to unlock it." Jade Patel issued a final ultimatum.
Bella’s first reaction was to rush over, pushing Ashton back into the kitchen.
Ashton retreated step by step, "Am I someone who can’t be seen?"
"Right now, you’re indeed not someone to be seen, Third Young Master." Bella said, closing the door.
She checked the living room warily, it was spotless, without any incriminating evidence, only then did Bella walk over and open the door.
Jade Patel, having knocked for quite a while, was already very impatient, "Why did you take so long to open the door, what were you doing inside?"
She peered cautiously inside the house.
"Mom, sister lives alone now, and after cancelling the engagement with Young Master Oliver, no one cares what she does anymore."
Upon hearing Rose Woods’ voice, Bella noticed her standing next to Jade Patel.
After the hymen repair incident, Rose had been sent abroad for a training program and wasn’t even allowed back for Bella’s engagement party.
Bella had thought it would be at least a few months, but she hadn’t expected Rose to return in less than a month.
It was likely Ron Woods and Jade Patel couldn’t bear being angry with Rose for that long.
Rose’s words displeased Jade Patel, "Pack your things, I plan to take back this apartment."
Saying this, Jade Patel led Rose into the house.
"Take back this apartment?" Bella couldn’t quite understand what that meant.
Rose was already inspecting, heading straight for the bedroom.
Bella moved forward to block, "This is my apartment now, my bedroom. Without my consent, you shouldn’t just barge in, right?"
"Mom, look at her, now she’s even claiming this apartment as hers." Rose immediately began to complain to Jade Patel.
"Bella Woods, don’t think that just because I gave you an apartment and you have some money in hand, plus Ashton speaking a few more words to you due to Cyan’s help, you can consider yourself different.
Don’t forget, in this city, you’re no different from anyone else, you’re from the countryside, born inferior, adjust your attitude for me."
Jade Patel scolded fiercely.
Bella quietly looked on, realizing finally why she’d been looked down upon and scolded for being from the countryside all these years in Peace City.
It originated from her parents.
"If you despise the countryside so much, why did you abandon me there when I was young?" Bella found it laughable.
Rose immediately interjected, "Because you deserve the countryside."
She raised her chin, assuming a superior posture.
"But as far as I recall, didn’t Mom and Dad also move from the countryside to Peace City? Do you despise yourselves too?"
"Bella Woods, I’m not here to listen to your sharp tongue." Jade Patel’s face was grim, not pleased with this disobedient daughter who contradicted her and talked back.
Jade Patel said, "I told you, I came here to take back this apartment."
"This was the condition when I agreed to placate Oliver Hughes. Moreover, the property deed is in my name; this is my property." Bella’s stance was firm.
She had only recently learned to talk back to her parents, but very rarely had she taken such a firm stand.
Rose sneered, "Mom, I told you, she might have someone hiding in this apartment, maybe even a Little Pretty Boy."
Instinctively, Bella glanced toward the kitchen door.
The Little Pretty Boy was indeed in the kitchen.
"Originally given in my name, you can either move out yourself, or I’ll get a lawyer to retrieve the apartment; which do you choose?" Jade Patel’s attitude was unwavering.
Bella frowned, just about to respond to Jade Patel when she noticed Rose heading towards the kitchen.
Seeing Rose was about to open the kitchen door, Bella hurried over, blocking the kitchen door, questioning Rose, "What are you doing?"
"Why are you so guilty?" Rose questioned, "Is there really someone hiding inside there, afraid of us finding out?"
