In the old house, only Mrs. Bennett was there, Mr. and Mrs. Bennett were not present, they were out traveling.
This made Bella Green sigh in relief, but at the same time, she felt even more bewildered by Mrs. Bennett’s attitude.
Looking at the old lady who was holding her hand and constantly asking about her well-being, and then looking at Mason Bennett sitting on the other side being treated as if he was invisible.
Bella Green found it quite amusing, who exactly was the real family member here?
"Little Bella, you have to come often to keep Grandma company, these little rascals have no conscience." As she spoke, the old lady looked aggrieved, almost to the point of tears.
Bella Green responded with a sly smile while unobtrusively sizing up the spirited old lady in front of her, feeling a little puzzled.
Even if Grandma didn’t pass away from her stroke two years ago, this level of vitality didn’t seem like someone who had been seriously ill.
Why was there such a difference?
With the food ready in the kitchen, Bella Green helped the old lady over.
Seeing the dishes on the dining table, she was momentarily stunned.
Half were completely vegetarian, and half were entirely meat; she suddenly remembered the meal in the morning, several of the meat dishes were ones she had ordered earlier.
She glanced at Mason Bennett, feeling a bit peculiar, was this something he had arranged?
"Oh, what’s going on, why did they make so many meat dishes?" The old lady asked in surprise.
She was elderly and didn’t eat heavy meats, and Mason was always into vegetarian herbal cuisine, such greasy dishes were rarely seen in the Bennett house.
"The young master asked for it," the servant said in a low voice.
Mrs. Bennett was momentarily taken aback, then glanced at the flustered and embarrassed Bella Green, suddenly understanding and breaking into laughter.
"This is how it should be, Mason, little Bella is your brother, you should take good care of her."
Mason Bennett gave Bella Green a light look and replied with a hum, which counted as an answer.
Mrs. Bennett heard the agreement and was rather taken aback, knowing that even his own brother was not under his care, yet he agreed to her words so easily?
She looked at Bella Green, then at her grandson clearly treating her like a ’brother,’ her smile deepening.
"That’s right, let’s eat, let’s eat."
During the meal, the old lady was startled again, watching her eldest grandson eat several pieces of braised pork, she widened her eyes, completely forgetting about Bella Green beside her.
"Grand, grandson, you..." The old lady seemed somewhat emotional, reddening eyes looking at Mason Bennett, unable to utter a complete sentence for a while.
"Grandma, what’s wrong with you?" Bella Green was startled by the old lady’s appearance and quickly asked.
"No, nothing, nothing." In front of Bella Green, there were some things she couldn’t say, but looking at her grandson, the excitement in her heart was uncontainable.
Suddenly, she remembered the meal was prepared for Bella Green, excitedly turning her head and holding Bella Green’s hand, gently patting it.
"Good child, good child, you must come to the house more often in the future, understood?"
Similar words, the old lady had said more than once just now, but this time, Bella Green felt as if the meaning was different from before.
She turned her head, looking at Mason Bennett who had already put down his chopsticks, his expression calm.
Was it because of him?
Before she could figure it out, the sound of crying came from outside the door, followed by a lavishly dressed lady coming in, wiping her tears.
"Mom, you have to stand up for our Non-Court." The lady came over and, seeing the old lady, cried even more sadly.
