Looking at that face just inches away, Bella Green’s mind went blank. In her pupils, the excessively handsome features of the man were mirrored.
On her nose, there seemed to be the warm breath of the man, descending with each inhale and exhale.
Their distance was too close.
And in that moment, Bella Green inexplicably thought of two words... kissing!
This was the standard posture for a kiss, right?
The more she thought about it, the redder her face became, even her breathing was out of rhythm.
Why hadn’t she noticed before that this man was so good-looking?
The next second, Bella Green’s whimsical thoughts were shattered by the pain in her cheek.
"Why is your face suddenly so red? Allergic again?" Mason Bennett frowned, pinching her cheek, then moved a bit closer, speaking in a deep, puzzled voice.
That crisp scent made Bella Green even dizzier, as she foolishly stared at the man in front of her, dumbly replying, "Oh, maybe."
The naturally confused look of the young woman stunned Mason Bennett for a moment, and the flushed face in front of him inexplicably made his mouth dry, especially...
The little creature’s dewy eyes, clear and pure, gazing at him so guilelessly, somehow felt particularly alluring...
In the air, something seemed to change quietly, and the atmosphere in the room gradually shifted...
With the sound of the door opening, Elliot Morris stormed straight into the room, breaking the fragile burgeoning romantic tension.
"Boss, Young Master Bella hasn’t..."
Before he could finish, Elliot Morris froze, staring wide-eyed at the oddly and... ambiguously posed pair in front of him, forgetting to react.
After a few seconds, he suddenly backed up two steps with a shocked expression, robotically.
With a bang, he shut the door.
Bella Green was dumbfounded too, staring at the closed door, even forgetting to struggle out of the man’s hold, just watching the door open again the very next second.
Elliot Morris entered the room once more, with the same scene before him.
Oh crap, crap, crap, it wasn’t that I opened the door wrong, what the hell is going on here??
"Sorry to disturb you, continue what you were doing." With an intense survival instinct, Elliot Morris swiftly retreated again, thoughtfully closing the door for them as he left.
Bella Green was on the verge of tears: Beauty really is a curse...
Mason Bennett furrowed his brows slightly, a hint of confusion flashing in his eyes, seemingly not understanding Elliot’s reaction and the word "continue."
Taking advantage of his distraction, Bella Green quickly backed away, escaping from the man’s grasp, and shrank back under the covers.
Hiding half her face under the covers, leaving only her black almond-shaped eyes exposed, she looked at Mason Bennett with a face full of accusation.
"Come out," Mason Bennett said coldly, his face darkening when he saw her.
"No," Bella Green said defiantly, puffing in annoyance.
Hearing this, Mason Bennett’s face grew even gloomier. This little thing was getting more and more disobedient.
"Behave," he commanded in a low voice.
Bella Green shrank her neck at his scolding, gritting her teeth in anger.
Spineless, so damn spineless; she used to have Mason Bennett watching her every mood, and now she’s reduced to watching his?
Where’s the momentum? Where’s the momentum?
Aiming to regain her dignity, Bella Green stiffened her neck and said, "I’m not coming out, if you have the guts, bite me."
Upon hearing this cheeky remark, Mason Bennett frowned slightly, looking at the exposed half-small head of Bella Green, squinting his eyes.
He really wanted to bite this little creature once... just to see how it tasted.
Suddenly, the man quickly stepped forward, snatching up the quilt and tossing it aside.
The next second, Mason Bennett saw the little creature on the hospital bed clearly, his body stiffened, he was dumbfounded...
