She thought to herself that Ben was drunk and should be sleeping soundly now. She just wanted to take a look. As long as she was sure that he was fine, she would immediately leave. Bella tried her best to step softly. When she arrived at the main bedroom door, she took a deep breath and finally took courage to push the door open.

However, what Bella did not expect was that there would be a man's arm waiting for her inside.

"Ah..." Bella had just poked her head in when she felt that someone held her hands from behind and her wrists were grabbed. Her whole body was controlled and she couldn't move at all. "Bella?" Ben quickly released his grip and heard the girl panting and coughing.

"Mr.... Mr. William, are you alright?" Bella ignored her discomfort and turned around to look at the man.

Ben reached out and turned on the light. Bella only wore a coat and a thin nightgown with her long hair hanging over her face. She looked so lovely, which made him enchanted.

"What time is it? Why are you looking for me?" Ben's voice became low as he asked this question, as if there was a hidden relationship between them.

Bella also recognized it. Her pretty face turned red and she said honestly, "You were drunk when you came back last night. I was afraid that something might happen to you, so I came over to take a look." Ben got a warm feeling in his heart as he stared at her, "Are you worried about about me?"

Bella's face flushed even more when she smelled the subtle change in the air.

"No, don't misunderstand. I had a nightmare. I only came upstairs to see you because I dreamed that you were injured." Bella was embarrassed.

"You had a dream about me? I'm so touched." The way she tried to explain it was somehow cute and funny, so Ben wanted to tease her.

Bella was stunned. Her face turned red. How could she explain this?

Ben took two steps closer to her with his long legs and stretched out his hand to help her with her coat, "You came to me dressed like this. If anyone saw you, there might be a misunderstanding. Aren't you afraid?"

This intimate action made Bella's entire body tremble. She even got goosebumps. She quickly turned around and walked outside the door, "Since you're fine, then I'll go back to sleep." Watching her run away, the man was disappointed for a moment.

However, he quickly convinced himself. Fortunately, Bella was not a casual girl, which was why he treated her better. If she had just come over to offer herself to him, would he accept or reject her? Ben struggled with this question and lay back on the bed. However, he soon realized that he was thinking too much. Bella was here to care about him, not to sleep with him.

"Little fool." Ben said with a smile.

Bella quickly ran back to her room. She was still trembling. Oh my God! That was ridiculous. She actually ran to a man's room in the middle of the night. How would she explain it if someone saw her. That night, Bella slept through the night. When she woke up, she heard her phone ringing. She took it and saw that it was Bell.

He wasn't still thinking about her going to him in the middle of the night last night, was he?

Bella answered the phone and heard his deep and charming voice, "Come here to have breakfast."

Bella was stunned. He actually asked her to have breakfast?

Now? Was that okay?

"I've already made breakfast for you. If you don't eat it, it seems like such a waste to just throw it." The man seemed to know her hesitation and said.

Bella could no longer pretend to be deaf, so she whispered, "Alright, I'll come. Thank you."

Bella got off the bed and quickly washed up and got dressed. When she arrived at Ben's house, Ben was waiting for her.

Bella felt sorry and pulled up her chair to sit down. Looking at the food on the table, she believed that it was his assistant who brought it over again.

"Have a seat. Are you going to school today?" Seeing her, Ben put down the newspaper in his hand and asked her with a smile in his eyes.

"Yes, there's a show at school today. I signed up to play the piano." Bella said casually.

"Oh, can I go to your school to see the show?" When Bella heard that she had a piano performance, he suddenly became interested.

"Ah? You want to come?" Bella was stunned. Then she explained, "It's actually just a show in the school. It's not formal."

"In that case, I can go." Ben knew what he meant and he smiled.

"You can come ..." Bella wanted to say something, but she found that she had forgotten.

Ben nodded in a good mood, "My job is actually very boring. I face a lot of reports, stocks, and documents every day. I feel a bit pathetic that I'm so young and yet my daily life is so boring. I would have a longer life expectancy if I could relax properly."

Bella, ".

"..."

What was he talking about? Why didn't she understand? How much did this have to do with a longer life expectancy? Ben stopped talking when he saw her confused expression, but he was happy. Finally someone could listen to him complain.

After breakfast, Bella carried her backpack to school.

Ben drove out of the underground parking lot and saw Bella's car. Could it be that she took the bus?

Ben immediately picked up speed and saw Bella on the bus stop. She seemed to listen to something with headphones. She looked blankly at the cars coming and going on the road. Ben stopped the car and opened the window. Looking at Bella's lost expression, he felt somewhat depressed.

It was too cruel to exchange the life of a child for the price of a broken family.

Originally, Bella was at her happiest and most beautiful age, but she was sad too early.

Ben opened the door and got out of the car. He walked directly to Bella and took off her headphones with his hand.

Bella was shocked. She raised her head and saw the man's deep eyes. Then she felt that her heart trembled.

"I'll take you to school. Don't wait." Without waiting for Bella to speak, Ben directly grabbed her wrist and walked towards his car.

"Ah, Mr. William, let go first. I'll go with you." Bella panicked. She didn't have the courage to be dragged by a man on this busy road. Ben opened the car door and Bella sat inside.

"Aren't you afraid of running into a pervert on the bus in such a short skirt?" Only then did Ben replace that she was wearing a knee-less grey pleated skirt with a white shirt on top. Her long hair was tied up in a ponytail. These exquisite earrings and light makeup made her look really lovely.

Bella smiled helplessly, "This is my costume for today. I have to wear it."

Ben found himself caring for this girl as if he was her parent. This thought stunned him. He wasn't even married yet, and he even didn't have a daughter. When did he get so old? Was he a little perverted?
