Chapter 73 -73: Little Bella, I want to give you a future
Bella Woods was seriously thinking about how to compensate this man.
“Should I take you to a movie?” Bella offered a suggestion.
“Do I look like I lack a movie ticket from you?”
“Should I treat you to a meal?”
“Do I look like I can’t afford to eat?”
“Then I…” Bella frustratedly scratched her head, messing up the hair Ashton Marshall had just styled for her.
“Then tell me, how do you want me to compensate you?”
Bella really couldn’t think of anything that could compensate him.
Ashton took her hand away from her hair and fixed her hair again, “Treating me to a meal sounds good.”
“Huh?”
She hadn’t forgotten that less than a minute ago, this man had disdainfully said, “Do I look like I can’t afford to eat?”
“Don’t be so adorable, Little Bella.”
Ashton leaned down and kissed Bella’s cheek.
“You don’t want to trouble me, so you finally let me compensate you with a meal,” Bella tentatively guessed.
Ashton looked at her dark eyes moving around and found her very cute, couldn’t help but smile, and pinched Bella’s cheek while Bella tilted her head along.
She stared at him intently, waiting for his answer.
Ashton tapped her forehead and covered her eyes, “Think for yourself, I don’t like food from outside.”
“So, you mean you want me to cook for you.” Bella pulled Ashton’s hand down, her eyes sparkling, “I can do that.”
“When I was with my grandparents back home, I had to do chores and cook every day. I may not be good at other things, but I can make farm-style dishes better than those restaurants.”
She looked very proud of herself.
Mainly because the request he made happened to be her specialty.
“You have no idea, the aunt next door used to run a farm stay, and when the chef got sick, she asked me to step in temporarily. The guests who came all praised my cooking.”
The smile on Ashton’s face gradually faded as the girl emotionally recounted her past, his eyes deepened slightly as he watched her silently.
Even he didn’t notice the heartache in his eyes.
The Woods Family in Peace City isn’t a wealthy family, but they have ample assets.
The couple of the Woods Family had hit the right moment when they started their business in Peace City and had a high starting point. Their business developed steadily and never declined.
They had assets over ten million already years ago.
Yet, in such a family, their daughter ends up as a housekeeper taking care of elderly back home and even had to help as a head chef in a neighbor’s farm stay.
And this child, silently thinking that these are expected, a daughter should do them, no problem, it’s all helping her parents.
No wonder she completely collapsed on her eighteenth birthday when she encountered such an event.
That was a collapse of belief, a destruction of worldview.
No wonder, even if she saw him as a person who sells his body, she never looked down on him. In fact, she cherished his company and the comfort he provided her because she had never received it but longed for it.
The little girl grew up to eighteen not in a fairy tale filled with flowers, but full of grievances.
Ashton bent down with heartache and held Bella tightly in his arms.
He hugged her so tightly that Bella, who was telling him about things back home, became a bit dazed, “What, what’s wrong?”
“Little Bella… I want to give you a future.”
“What?”
Give you a future where, surrounded by blooming flowers, everyone has to look up to you.
“Our Little Bella is amazing.” Ashton smiled.
Bella was a bit stunned.
Perhaps this man’s compliment was too gentle.
Since they met, he never hesitated to praise her.
This made Bella, who had never been praised for anything she did since she was a child, feel like she was in a rainy season, a little sour but with a touch of tenderness and romance.
“Stop praising me like that…” she would feel embarrassed.
Bella buried her face into Ashton’s neck, hiding her blushing face but failing to hide her glowing red ears.
“I think you should hug me more.”
“Hmm?”
“Your body feels good, hugging you gives a sense of security,” Bella said boldly and even dared to touch Ashton’s abs.
Ashton chuckled, took Bella’s hand off his abs, “Don’t seduce me, in the end, you’ll be the one crying again.”
Every time he had to stop and comfort her.
Troublesome.
And Bella, grasping the meaning of his words, blushed even more.
“You…”
The phone rang just in time, Bella glanced at the caller ID, pushed Ashton away, “Aunt Cyan’s car to pick me up is here, I need to go to the Hughes Family now.”
When she was about to get down from the desk, the man conveniently held her to bring her down.
Bella picked up the phone to disguise, “Hello, are you here? I’ll be right out.”
“I’m leaving now.”
“Little Bella.”
As Bella opened the door, the man called her, “In the coming days, I need to go out for some matters.”
“For how long?” Bella blurted out, her expression serious, “Why suddenly need to go out?”
Ashton snickered at her, “Can’t bear to leave me?”
“Just, just asking.” Bella said to cover up, “Don’t, don’t forget, I paid for you, I’m your master, I’m your boss now!”
“Oh, I see.”
“Yes, I have the right to know where you are.”
“Hmm, alright.”
“…”
“You haven’t told me, how long are you going for?” Bella’s voice was muffled, clearly unhappy.
“Four or five days I guess.” Seeing her unhappy, Ashton couldn’t help teasing her.
Bella calculated, “Then you’ll miss my engagement party?”
“What, you want me to attend your engagement party?” Ashton asked back, “Want me to come and steal you away?”
“You could.” Bella nodded.
“Hmm?” Ashton was puzzled.
“Would you?”
“Aren’t you planning to study abroad?”
“Yes, I am.”
“Then you know, if I show up at the engagement party, you and Oliver Hughes will be over; do you know the consequences?” Ashton stared at Bella.
This was the first time he couldn’t figure out what this little girl was thinking.
Bella pursed her lips, a bitter smile appeared, and she looked at Ashton, “You know, I really like Oliver Hughes, I really do.”
“I know, no need to emphasize.” Ashton responded perfunctorily.
“Before, I thought he gave me warmth, he changed me in four years, letting me see a different world.” Bella slowly recounted, “But the recent events overturned everything for me.”
“I admit, I haven’t completely let go of my feelings for Oliver Hughes, but I…”
Bella took a deep breath, holding back the sourness in her nose, “I don’t want to endure his humiliation without dignity anymore.”
From racing, she was used as a betting chip.
To just now, she was slandered by Holly Watson, and Oliver Hughes told her to back off.
Even because of her opposition, he scolded and humiliated her.
“I don’t want to be the Bella Woods whose dignity is trampled.” Bella looked at Ashton.

Ashton reminded her of her situation, “Not getting engaged with Oliver Hughes means no chance to study abroad, the future you envision won’t happen.”
“No, my future is still there, my study abroad will happen as planned.” Bella suddenly smiled confidently.
Ashton was puzzled, “Hmm?”
