Chapter 157: Chapter 157

Sasha sounded excited as she said, “I managed to steal that antique rosewood chair that you wanted

from your father!”

“Aunt Sasha, thanks for your hard work! I’ll definitely treat you to a meal the next time we meet!” Bella

rubbed her hands excitedly.

“Hehe, it’s not a big deal! I’m just glad that you’re happy!”

“But… What will happen to you if Wyatt finds out?” Bella could not help but worry about Sasha.

Sasha said courageously, “Well, I have no dependents, so I guess I can leave this world without

worries. If anything happens to me, just remember to buy me a nice coffin.”

Bella was speechless.

After a busy day, Steven drove Bella back to the villa.

Bella kicked off her high heels, put on her soft velvet red slippers, stretched her back, and prepared to

go upstairs to take a bubble bath.

“Let me draw the bath for you.” Steven hurriedly rolled up the sleeves of his white shirt.

“No need. I can do it myself. Just prepare some dinner.” Bella smiled tiredly.

“Okay. What do you want to eat?”

“Hmm… Spicy instant ramen!”

Steven was speechless. He was not a fan of spicy instant ramen, but Bella loved it.

Bella pouted her lips and said, “Actually, I also want a doner kebab, but there are no kebab shops

nearby.”

“Do you want to eat first before taking a bath?”

“Nah,

I’m too tired. If I don’t take a shower now, I probably won’t even have the energy to eat.”

Bella yawned and went upstairs to shower.

Steven tidied up the living room before he put on an apron and gloves.

As soon as he finished making the noodles, the doorbell rang.

Asher and Axel had keys to this villa, so they would never ring the doorbell.

Steven thought, ‘It’s so late. Who would it be? Who else knew that Bella lived here?’

He frowned and walked to the entrance to press on the video intercom.

The next second, he gasped.

He saw Ryan’s handsome face on the screen.

“Hello! Is anyone home?” Ryan looked around.

“Mr. Hoffman, why are you here?” Steven instantly became alert and stared at him coldly.

“I followed you here, of course!” Ryan suddenly smiled brightly.

“When?!”

“I followed you from the hotel. Tsk tsk… You’re so incompetent as a secretary. You didn’t even realize

that someone was stalking your boss. You need to improve your observation skills.”

Steven took a deep breath to calm himself. He said in a cold voice, “Ms. Bella is sleeping now, so she

won’t see any guests. Please leave!”

“The lights upstairs are still on. Who are you trying to deceive?”

Ryan blinked. “I’m here to deliver a gift. You should at least let me in.”

“Steve, who are you talking to?”

At this moment, Bella was dressed in a pastel-pink silk robe. Her long hair was tightly wrapped in a

white towel. She walked downstairs, feeling relaxed from her hot bath.

“Um…” Steven did not know what to say.

Bella walked over, put her pretty face in front of the screen, and raised her eyebrows. “Oh, it’s you.”

“Anna! It’s me!” Ryan’s eyes lit up with excitement when he heard her sweet voice.

“What’s going on?”

“Anna, I brought you a gift. I didn’t get to see you during the day, so I wanted to give it to you in person

tonight!”

“Mr. Hoffman, I made it clear to you before that I wouldn’t accept your gifts. But I appreciate your

kindness.” Bella rejected him without hesitation.

“I purposely flew to Sentania to find a crystal artwork made by the famous sculptor, LAN. I got it with

great difficulty…”

‘LAN?!’ Bella licked her lips and pressed the button to open the gate.

Steven held his forehead and was speechless.

He thought, ‘Hmph! This guy really knows what Bella likes!’
