A strange silence spread through the reception room, creating an incredibly peculiar atmosphere.
Bella Green took a deep breath, then suddenly laughed. Her smile was shy, like a little white flower.
"Bro, was I just talking in my sleep?"
Huh, just a moment ago she kept calling Mason Bennett left and right, and now she calls him bro? This little rascal needs some discipline!
"Actually, when you just asked that, you really gave me a scare," Bella said with a face full of grievance.
"Hmm?" Mason looked at her calmly, waiting for her to continue.
That expression was so calm that no emotion could be seen. Bella gritted her teeth and silently cursed "old fox."
"Well, actually, it’s , and it’s a bit embarrassing to say. I had a dream, and in the dream, we had known each other before. So, when you asked me that question, it really startled me. I even thought I was hallucinating, hahaha."
This speech was too far-fetched, with no credibility at all.
But Bella spoke so truthfully that no matter how Mason looked, he couldn’t spot anything amiss.
Her expression was so vivid, it was as if she was recounting something that actually happened.
Even though he knew this reason was somewhat far-fetched, it seemed like there was no other explanation.
After all, he couldn’t think of any reason why they would have known each other.
Suddenly, he froze, looking at the face before him, which strangely seemed very familiar, and thought of an even more ridiculous idea.
"Do you believe in past lives?" His leisurely tone seemed a bit ethereal, unclear if he was asking her or himself.
Bella was startled, but having already learned a lesson once, she didn’t give herself away this time. Instead, she shivered, with a face full of fear.
"Don’t scare me like that. I’m most afraid of these spooky things."
Seeing that she was indeed a bit frightened, Mason decided not to bring it up again and turned to walk out.
Bella jumped up from the sofa, about to follow when the man suddenly turned back and sternly said, "Tidy up the coffee table before you leave."
"..." Seriously, you’re such a nitpicker, and you wonder why you can’t find a wife?
Muttering complaints in her heart, the timid Miss Green obediently went to tidy up the coffee table, grumbling as she did.
A company this large doesn’t even have a cleaning lady? Yet they economize on manpower and make me clean up—capitalists, vampires!!
The Bennett Family’s old residence.
Sitting in the car, Bella Green looked at the vintage old house with a Chinese-style garden through the car window, and she subconsciously frowned.
She had only been here twice, and neither time left a good impression.
In her previous life, when she married Mason Bennett, the Bennett Family parents were very opposed. She came twice and was not treated well, so she refused to come again after that.
Fortunately, Mason never forced her either, and they didn’t visit during festivals and holidays.
Getting out of the car, Bella Green followed Mason Bennett into the house with low spirits.
Upon seeing her, Granny Bennett, as delighted as a cat spotting a fish, immediately waved to her with a beaming smile.
"Oh my, little Bella is here, come over to Granny."
This term of endearment caused Bella to trip over her own feet, nearly falling, but Mason quickly caught her with sharp reflexes.
"Watch your step," he said in a low voice.
"The shoes are too big," Bella replied, blushing as she defended herself.
Mason stopped and looked at her shoes—normal men’s slippers, but her feet were so small that there was a lot of space left at the heel, which explained why she stumbled.
However, how big was this little girl’s shoe size? It seemed like he could hold her entire foot with just one hand.
