Forever Love

Chapter 198 Secretly Longing For Mother's Love

Ashely didn't expect that the house that Frank Zhu found for her was very close to the house of Bella and Mason, which was just across a tree-lined path. If their house was a little higher, they could almost their house from the attic.

After buying some food in the supermarket, Bella came back and saw Ashely and Frank Zhu before entering the door.

Bella didn't want to ask why these two people were here, but she had to greet them with a warm smile on her face. At the engagement ceremony, Frank Zhu had helped her. In addition, she had a good impression of Frank Zhu, so she respected this uncle very much.

Carrying a large bag of vegetables, Bella wanted to eat hot pot. When they came over, Bella greeted with a smile, "Hello, uncle ."

"Go out to buy some food. I didn't expect you to live here." Frank Zhu and Ashely walked side by side. They didn't behave intimately, but when Bella first saw Frank Zhu, she knew that Frank Zhu liked Ashely. He was a kind man with nice eyebrows, and he was humble and gentle in speaking. However, Bella didn't know why he would fall in love with the powerful Ashley.

Although Ashely was always a little complicated when she saw Bella now. But Bella didn't want to face her. She would never forget what Tim had done to her.

Bella didn't want to dig into the matter that they live across the street. She didn't think that Ashley wanted to get close to her and recognize her. Maybe Ashely came back just to take revenge. After all, she heard that Kevin had done something excessive to her. Therefore, she didn't want a daughter anymore.

"If there's nothing else, I'll go back to cook." With an alienated and polite smile, Bella turned around and walked into her yard without looking back.

Ashely looked at her back. Her thin back was straight and looked good in any clothes. It was exactly like her when she was young. Her back was straight until now, and her figure was maintained very well. It was impossible to see that she was a woman in her fifties.

She tightened her shawl. It was a little cold in the evening. This year's summer seemed to be so considerate, which was particularly cool.

"She still hates me." Ashely turned around and walked slowly along the path. The setting sun in the distance was like residual blood, dazzling red and heartbroken.

Frank Zhu put his hand on her shoulder and said, "everything will be fine. She will understand you sooner or later."

"But she should hate me. I can't recognize her now. I can only continue to be a cruel mother. In the past years, she had a hard time. She hadn't seen her real grandma for once. They still don't forgive me. " Said Ashely. Thinking of her old mother, Ashely couldn't help but feel sad.

Frank Zhu kept comforting her, walking on the path of sunset, "then I'll be with you. As soon as possible, I'll tell her the truth, and give her a bright future."

Ashely stopped. His broad shoulders and bright eyes made her feel guilty.

After a few seconds, Ashely looked at him affectionately with a rare smile at the corners of her mouth. "Are you really going to accompany me? You should know the following path. With my psychological endurance, I'm afraid I can't make it through." As she spoke, her eyes flashed with crystal tears, but with a thin smile, like the spring breeze.

This was the real Ashely. She had been strong in front of outsiders for so long, and she had tried her best to hide her in front of Frank Zhu. If he hadn't chased after her, she wouldn't have been moved

"So you need me to go with you. I've been through more than half of my life. Will I lie to you? I have told you that I will be with you for the rest of my life. Even if the road ahead is rugged, you need me more, right? " He stretched out his warm hands. Maybe they were no longer strong, but still warm, making people feel at ease.

"But..." If she was just worried that she would drag him down, she might not not refuse such a good man until now.

"Don't worry. What I have done is my own responsibility. It has nothing to do with others. No one will interfere in my family. " His eyes were firm and natural, staring at her intently.

"Then we will meet Kevin tomorrow." Now that she had come to this city, she also needed a support. She did not intend to leave any regret. "Tomorrow, by the way, go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to register. I need your identity"

Frank Zhu's eyes sparkled with excitement, "are you serious?" He had chased her for many years. He couldn't even remember how many times he had said he wanted to get married, but she had refused

"Yes, it's true. I'll go there tomorrow. Don't forget to buy rings. " As she spoke, Ashely turned around and quickened pace, with a smile on her face.

"Alas!" Frank Zhu answered loudly and caught up with her quickly.

When Mason came back, she saw Ashely and Frank Zhu walking by the water in the distance. When he came back home and wanted to talk to Bella, he saw Bella standing by the sink in the kitchen, staring blankly at the basket, not even realizing that the water had spilled out.

"Bella, what's wrong?" Mason grabbed her cold hand and said, "you look upset. Let me do it."

Hearing that, Bella came to her senses and shook head quickly. "I'll do it. If you don't have anything else to do, I'll call you when I'm done. How about making hot pot tonight?" She liked to eat hot pot more often, because when she just graduated from school, she wanted to eat hot pot, but she didn't have a companion and she often cooked alone. But now, with the company of Mason, she felt satisfied

"Let me help you wash the vegetables first." Knowing that she had something on her mind, Mason didn't say it out.

When Bella turned around, she saw him take off his suit, roll up his sleeves and begin to pick vegetables.

The two didn't say anything. After a while, Bella said softly, "I saw Ashely and Frank Zhu. They are in our neighborhood."

It turned out that she had seen it too. It seemed that it was not that simple, but he didn't know their purpose. He thought it was necessary to talk to them and know what they were going to do, and whether would hurt Bella again.

"If you don't like it, we can change to another place." Mason shook off the water drops, wiped hands with a duster cloth and pulled her into arms. "Although I don't think they have any malicious intentions, we can avoid them if you don't like them."

"No, I just can't be calm. She doesn't seem to be so against us before." She leaned against his chest in a daze. In fact, every daughter would want to make up with her mother, even if she was not anxious in the past. But when she saw that the other party did not resist so much, that kind of desire constantly appear.

Bella still hoped that they could reunite in the future. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
