Dump My Ex, Dive into Love with His Billionaire Uncle-Chapter 184: Doing All That Just to Tell a Story

Bella Woods’ attitude was very clear, which surprised not only Ethan Marshall but even Calvin Marshall about Bella Woods’ straightforward attitude.

"You should leave now. If you don’t, I’ll contact your mother. I assume you don’t want her too involved in your matters."

Bella Woods didn’t even look at Ethan Marshall anymore and instead focused her attention on the painting, contemplating how to better present the scenery before her.

Ethan Marshall was unwilling to give up, "Don’t you want to know why even with the relationship between you and Oliver Hughes, Ashton Marshall still insists on being with you?"

"Sixty, could you please contact Mrs. Sutton?" Bella Woods completely disregarded what Ethan Marshall was saying.

Calvin Marshall hesitated for a few seconds before reacting and hurriedly took out his phone.

When Calvin Marshall was about to unlock it for a call, Ethan Marshall reached out to hold him back and sighed, "No need. I’ll leave now."

"But, Bella Woods, if you want answers, come to me anytime. I’ll tell you. The truth behind the scenes is something you need to know; otherwise, it wouldn’t be fair."

Leaving those words, Ethan Marshall finally turned and left.

Calvin Marshall stood there, watching Ethan Marshall leave and then looked at Bella Woods, who remained unmoved by Ethan Marshall’s words. He actually admired Bella Woods’ decisiveness.

"Little Bella, I’m curious." Calvin Marshall couldn’t help but walk over and sit beside Bella Woods.

"Curious about what?" Bella Woods remained focused on her painting.

"I’m curious about what Ethan Marshall just said, and also curious as to why you didn’t even listen to him. Aren’t you at all curious?" Calvin Marshall stared wide-eyed at Bella Woods.

He was curious, yet Bella Woods’ attitude was very resolute, and she didn’t even spare Ethan Marshall a glance.

After thinking for a bit, Calvin Marshall couldn’t help but ask, "Really not even a bit curious?" ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

Bella Woods looked at Calvin Marshall’s inquisitive expression and chuckled, "If I want to know the answer, I can ask the person directly. Why would I need to understand it through an outsider?"

Calvin Marshall tilted his head, not really understanding Bella Woods’ words.

Bella Woods said, "I’ve known the Third Young Master longer than Ethan Marshall and have interacted with him more. I know what kind of person he is from my own judgment in our interactions.

And the kind of person I believe Ashton Marshall to be is different from what Ethan Marshall thinks of him as, so there’s no consensus, and I don’t need to know anything about Ashton through Ethan Marshall."

"Why do you say that your perception of the Third Young Master is different from Ethan Marshall’s?" Calvin Marshall couldn’t quite understand.

"What kind of person do you think your Third Brother is?" Bella Woods suddenly asked.

Calvin Marshall paused for a moment, then awkwardly said, "He’s a... serious, rigorous, dangerous, very imposing, unyielding, rather cold-blooded, very arrogant, looks down on everything..."

He really wanted to say some positive words, but honestly, he was afraid of Ashton Marshall.

Even now, Calvin Marshall still saw Ashton Marshall as a superior figure, cold and unyielding.

To which, Bella Woods replied, "In my understanding, the Third Young Master is a very meticulous and gentle person."

When Bella Woods said ’meticulous and gentle,’ Calvin Marshall’s eyes widened, finding such words being used to describe Ashton to be quite surreal.

"And someone who loves playing games."

"I can barely accept meticulous and gentle, but loves playing games? I really can’t accept that. To me, he can create games but absolutely wouldn’t engage with them; it’s simply mind-blowing for me." Calvin Marshall genuinely couldn’t accept it, "Are you sure it isn’t just you having a love-struck brain, Little Bella?"

"I have a love-struck brain, but I’m not stupid." Bella Woods reminded, "It’s just that the Ashton I experience is like this, whereas yours is another version, and yet another version for Ethan Marshall.

No matter what kind of person he is, they are all versions of Ashton, just experienced differently by different people."

"I understand what you mean now," Calvin Marshall said. "People can be multi-faceted, and their behavior towards others varies."

"Hmm, that’s why I don’t need to understand anything through Ethan Marshall."

Bella Woods nodded, looking at the lake.

Although she had explained so much to Calvin Marshall and felt very rational, she still couldn’t calm her mind.

She really wanted to know why, when she mistook Ashton for a male prostitute, he went along with it if it was just a game of seduction, having a relationship should have sufficed.

But Ashton chose to teach her how to break free from the pitfalls of not being loved, how to acknowledge her own hardship and excellence through the years, and took care of her with great detail, showcasing tenderness in every aspect.

Of course, despite a million whys, Bella Woods wouldn’t believe Ashton loved her deeply.

How could such an elevated person possibly love someone as ordinary as her?

Bella Woods forced herself not to overthink, immersed herself in her painting. After all, she’d soon go abroad, soon part ways with Ashton, and wouldn’t need to worry about these things.

While Bella Woods painted, Calvin Marshall stayed with her.

However, his patience was limited. Earlier, he was enthusiastically saying he wanted to draw Bella’s painting posture; yet within less than an hour, he started playing on his phone and then found an excuse to leave.

Bella Woods urged him to go quickly and then focused more on her painting.

She didn’t even know how long she had been painting until a voice sounded next to her, "You paint really well, capturing the spirit of the scenery."

Bella Woods turned her head and looked at the person beside her.

"It’s you." Bella Woods recognized her.

After meeting Mrs. Sutton that day, she encountered her seemingly coming to visit Mrs. Sutton too.

A girl as pure and divine as moonlight.

"My name is Nina Sutton." The girl extended her hand in greeting.

Bella Woods politely shook it briefly before letting go, "I think, we don’t really know each other."

"This is our third meeting," Nina Sutton said, "That day at Joy Valley, Little Fox..."

"The one who conspired with Ethan Marshall to record a video of me and Ethan Marshall," Bella Woods said straightforwardly.

Upon hearing such a summary, Nina Sutton chuckled, "You’re quite interesting."

"You’re interesting too, going through so much just to make others think I have something to do with Ethan Marshall," Bella Woods spoke without too much courtesy.

The video was accidentally sent by Nina Sutton, so Bella Woods was sure that Nina Sutton orchestrated the incident.

But she had nothing to do with Nina Sutton, no interaction, so she couldn’t understand why Nina Sutton would do such a thing.

"I want to tell you a story; do you have the patience to listen?"

"If it’s just a story, you can go ahead."

"I thought you’d refuse me just like you refused Ethan Marshall earlier," Nina Sutton laughed softly.

"Going through so much from the video, weren’t you all trying to tell me something about Ashton Marshall, weren’t you?" Bella Woods stated bluntly.

Nina Sutton clapped, "A true Peace University ace, very smart and insightful."
