Dump My Ex, Dive into Love with His Billionaire Uncle-Chapter 183: In essence, she is not a good person either

Chapter 183: Chapter 183: In essence, she is not a good person either

Certainly! Here’s the translation:

Calvin Marshall stared at Bella Woods for a while before saying, "I just can’t figure out if it’s that I never understood your personality, or if you’ve been constantly changing."

Bella Woods immediately understood Calvin Marshall’s confusion and said, "I’ve always been like this."

"What kind of ’this’?"

"For the sake of a goal, disregarding everything else, I’m not a good person."

Bella Woods spoke frankly, "At the beginning, I took good care of my grandparents back home and even learned at the kitchen of a restaurant next door, just for a good reputation, to make my parents proud so they’d bring me to Peace City to study."

"Later, I realized they never intended to bring me. So I worked hard at my studies, starting from junior high, learning about the welfare policies between the county and Peace City, and worked my way up."

"Then I found out Aunt Cyan liked me, understood Oliver Hughes would introduce me to different circles, realized that as long as I was good with Oliver Hughes, my parents would always look up to me."

For reasons unknown, although all these things happened to her, Bella Woods felt like they belonged to a past life. "Including with the Third Young Master, I really liked the feeling of being cared for by him. I hoped that during my brief stay in Peace City, I’d have memories of being nurtured."

It would make her feel loved.

Even if brief, even if there would be a day in the future when they parted ways, Bella Woods wanted to have this memory, so she didn’t have to repeatedly drain herself at night, questioning how unloveable she must be to never have been loved.

As Bella Woods spoke these words, Calvin Marshall looked at her with an expression of sympathetic and pained understanding.

"Don’t look at me with those eyes, I’m not a good person. It’s not that I’ve changed, I never did, it’s just that at the start, you thought too highly of me," Bella Woods said to Calvin Marshall with a smile.

Calvin Marshall withdrew his look of pity. "When Ashton told me to seize the opportunity to befriend you, he reminded me not to feel sorry for you because of anything that happens to you — you don’t need that."

This statement stirred something in Bella Woods.

She realized that between her and Ashton Marshall, the gap was more than just an age difference. Ashton had always taken care of her, not just physically, but also her emotions and inner feelings.

Her sensitive, self-abasing, yet prideful emotions, Ashton catered to all of them.

"Let’s not talk about this anymore," Calvin Marshall waved his hand. "I don’t care what you’re like, but whenever I’m with you, I’m very happy. I just want to take you to play the many games I’ve played before, to see you find them new and exciting, that gives me a sense of accomplishment."

Calvin Marshall put his arm around Bella Woods’ shoulder and walked towards the elevator, "Come on, let’s go eat, and in the afternoon, I’ll take you out."

"We can only eat because I have to return to school to paint in the afternoon," Bella Woods expressed regret.

Calvin Marshall thought for a moment, "I have nothing this afternoon, I’ll go with you. I want to paint too. You can teach me if you’re free; if not, I’ll just entertain myself."

"Sure." Bella Woods accepted cheerily, it was the first time someone voluntarily wanted to accompany her painting, she found it quite interesting.

As the two took the elevator away, a woman who had brushed past Bella Woods earlier observed silently from the corner.

She indeed intended to call out to Bella Woods just now, but when she saw Calvin Marshall, she deliberately avoided them.

"Miss," someone called from behind, "Madam asks how long you’ll be outside? She specifically asked you to come back, not to watch a show."

The person put on a gentle and harmless smile, "Please convey my apologies to Madam. I’m just going to the restroom, I’ll find her soon."

...

After eating with Calvin Marshall, Bella Woods returned to the lake at school to continue completing her work.

Originally, this work was to be submitted for review when she went to study abroad in Country A, but since she already spoke to Ethan Blue, there was no need to submit it. Yet, Bella Woods was used to finishing what she started, with a beginning and an end.

"You’re really good at this," Calvin Marshall commented as he looked on in amazement.

"I haven’t even finished yet."

"You can tell it’s good at a glance," Calvin Marshall insisted.

She had someone prepare an art kit while they were eating, now setting it up beside the lake, but found herself at a loss on where to start.

Paint the lake?

After pondering, she gave up.

Finally, Calvin Marshall, resolute, looked at Bella Woods, "I’ve decided, you paint the scenery, I’ll paint you!" freewebnøvel.coɱ

"You can do that?" Bella Woods was surprised at Calvin’s decision.

Sunlight shone down, and Calvin looked confident and determined. Even though she’d never painted before, she was still full of confidence. "Mm, I’ll paint you."

"Painting scenery is boring; you’ve already done it. I should draw something different, and if it’s good, I can boast to my Third Brother..."

At this, Calvin Marshall leaned closer to Bella Woods’ ear, "I’ll ask my Third Brother for more money to organize a tour for me."

"Have you changed your celebrity crush again?" Bella Woods was no longer surprised by Calvin’s frequent changes in favorites.

"Mm, this time it’s ten people. Spending money to arrange a tour for them all over the country." Calvin boasted, "This is my way to provide benefits for my favorites and myself."

"Then you work hard on your painting, I’ll help speak to your Third Brother about it when the time comes," Bella Woods quickly said.

Calvin laughed with joy, hugging Bella Woods’ arm, "You’re so nice, sister-in-law, you never ruin the fun."

No matter what she said, Bella Woods always encouraged and supported rather than spoiling the fun and denying.

"Don’t call me that carelessly." Bella Woods nudged Calvin Marshall.

Calvin puffed her cheeks. She only called her ’sister-in-law’ in the heat of the moment, but she knew in her heart that Bella Woods and Ashton Marshall hadn’t gone public yet, so the title ’sister-in-law’ couldn’t be thrown around.

Bella, knowing not to care about Calvin’s spur-of-the-moment title, prompted, "Let’s paint."

"Okay..." Calvin barely finished responding before she noticed a figure approaching from a distance, and her face instantly changed.

She stood up immediately, moving in front of Bella, blocking the incoming person, "What are you doing here?"

Surprised, Bella looked up. Although Calvin tried her best to stay in front of her, the person was much taller than Calvin, so Bella immediately saw his face.

Ethan Marshall.

Bella never had a good attitude towards Ethan Marshall, especially after the video incident.

"I’m here to see Bella Woods," Ethan almost never looked serious, "I’d like to have a talk with her."

"What do you want to talk about? The video?" Calvin showed no kindness to Ethan. "You had your fun scheming over Bella, and then your mom comes knocking. What else is there to talk about?"

"I’m not here to discuss matters between me and her," Ethan said, "I want to talk about her and Ashton."

"What do you want to discuss about her and the Third Young Master?" Calvin frowned.

Facing Ethan, Bella straightforwardly said, "There’s nothing to discuss regarding him and me with an outsider like you."
