Chapter 173

Bella’s POV: Soon, Klein parked his car in front of my apartment building. I looked at him and said seriously, “I don’t know how to express my gratitude to you.” “I told you, you don’t have to be so courteous to me.” Klein looked at me. I nodded and took off my seat belt. “I’m leaving. Goodbye.” I reached out and was about to open the car door, but Klein called out my name. “Bella!” “Huh?” I turned to look at him in confusion.

Klein lowered his head and pursed his lips into a smile. “You aren’t treating me to a cup of coffee, are you?” I stared blankly for a moment. Clearly, Klein was expressing his goodwill towards me. I didn’t want to have any emotional disputes with any man anymore. So, the next moment, I refused with a smile. “My room is very messy, and it’s not very convenient for me to invite someone over.”

“Right.” Klein nodded, expressing his agreement.

Just as I was about to get out of the car, Klein said, “Or, ice water is fine. I haven’t had a drop of water for hours.”

Hearing this, I couldn’t bear to continue to refuse. Yesterday, Klein saved me, and today, he helped me call the Director. And he drove a few hours to send me back. If I couldn’t even let him drink a glass of water, it would be mean. I would just treat him as an ordinary friend, without any other ambiguous relationship. I smiled and said, “There’s only ice water at home. You can come up and have a drink! If you like.” A hint of a smile immediately appeared on Klein’s face. “Yes, yes.” Afterwards, I brought Klein upstairs. “Wait a minute,” I said after entering, “I’ll prepare some ice water for you.” I turned and walked into the narrow kitchen.

Klein’s POV:

I’m in Bella’s apartment now. The Bella I like is frank, stubborn, strong, and sometimes fragile. In short, when I approached her, 1 was completely attracted to her.

In the past, I had been too worried, because of Vivian and Herbert.

It was no longer a problem.

Thus, I took the initiative to come to Wharton Mountain to look for her. It turned out that my choice was correct. It was just that she didn’t seem to like me, but it didn’t matter. I had time and energy to spend with Talonet everything I wanted since I was a child, and women were no exception! | I began to observe Bella’s apartment.

In fact, it was just a relatively large house separated by a wardrobe. There was one bedroom, a living room with a two-seater sofa, and a single-seat sofa. There was also a bathroom and a small balcony for the kitchen. Although it was small, it was very clean. The sheets, curtains, and fabric sofa were all yellow and green in color. It was very warm and felt like home.

I liked this place. I hoped I could walk into Bella’s life. When Bella came out of the kitchen with a glass of ice water, I was already sitting on the fabric sofa.

“Thank you.” I took the cup and said.

Bella turned around and sat on a single sofa far away. She said, “Sorry, I haven’t been at home the past two days, so I don’t have any food to serve you.” “A glass of water is enough.” 1 pointed to the glass.

Then, we fell into silence. The atmosphere was a little awkward. Bella held her cheeks and looked down at her shoes.

I loosened my tie, looked around, and took the initiative to find a topic. “Your home is not messy. It’s very clean, and you decorated it well, giving people a feeling of home.” Bella said with a smile, “Those who don’t go home desire the warmth of the home. I’m now alone in Wharton Mountain, so I decorate the house like this. That way, I won’t miss home.” Looking at the strong Bella, I felt sorry for her. I guessed she must have missed her mother and sister. She didn’t have any relatives or friends here. After work, she should be lonely.

“What’s the reason why she exiled herself here?”

Because of Herbert?

Yes, that must be the reason. Caroline and Herbert announced the engagement, so Bella felt very uncomfortable. Thinking of this reason, I felt very sad, because it reminded me that Bella was still in love with Herbert. I lowered my head to look at the glass in front of me and said slowly, “Bella, in fact, you don’t have to work hard to live. You can start over!” “I’m starting a new life. I’m doing very well here,”

Bella said with a smile. “I mean your love life.” I looked at Bella seriously. Bella touched her arm. “I don’t want to accept another man now.” I frowned and said anxiously, “My cousin is with Caroline now. They will get married and form a family. You don’t have to continue torturing yourself!”

The next moment, I couldn’t control my emotions. I grabbed her arms and lifted her up from the single sofa. “What… what are you doing?” Bella looked at me in surprise. I said eagerly, “Bella, my cousin can’t give you anything, but I can. Now that I have broken up with Vivian, can I take care of you?”
