Chapter 12
Jeffrey didn’t know how he had spent these eight hours of flight.
Upon hearing the news brought by Eric, he was immediately puzzled.
Did she go abroad?
Did you also go to Merribridge?
But he immediately had someone check the airport list, and they did not find Bella’s boarding record.
But more than anything, there was relief, at least Bella was still there, she was still alive, and that was enough.
But then a wave of intense anger engulfed him, why did she leave without saying a word?
Even if I wanted to go abroad for development, why have I never mentioned it to him?
Bella found a new house and moved out of James’s place.
After all, it
all. It was
just a temporary stay, and even though James and Emma both liked Bella, she didn’t want to disturb them for too long.
Alter Liam found out, he took the initiative to help.
Bella came empty–handed as a person, with no luggage. She moved to a new house and decided to go to the mall to buy some things to decorate her home.
While she was browsing through a fabric store, coincidentally, her menstrual period came earlier.
Bella could feel a surge of warmth herself, but the fabric store was crowded, and she didn’t want to show it too obviously, or else it
ere was would only be more embarrassing
“This is for you ”

A man’s coat was handed to her.
Liam smiled and said, “I was feeling a bit hot. Could you please help me with my coat?”
Bella reacted and Liam must have seen it.
But he didn’t expose it, instead he carefully came up with a solution to cover it up.
Bella blushed and nodded, “Thank you, Liam.”
Liam smiled and said, “Did you see something you like?”
Bella shook her head.
“Shall we try another one then?”
“Okay.”
After leaving the fabric store smoothly, Liam said to her, “Wait for me here.”
Then he quickly ran to the convenience store in the distance.
He quickly ran back again.
At the same time, he stuffed a small bag into Bella’s hand.
His face also turned slightly red: “I didn’t know which brand you are used to, and I don’t really understand this stuff either, so I just bought the one recommended by the shop assistant.
Bella pinched the small bag in her hand, and a warm current flowed through her heart.
“Thank you, this will do.”
“That’s good, the restroom is not far on the left–hand side. Go quickly, I’ll wait for you here.” The men’s coat was worn on Bella, It was oversized and just enough to cover the stained area
He had a scent different from Jeffrey.
Jeffrey’s clothes always had a delicate cologne scent, but his jacket only had a clean mint fragrance, along with a hint of sunshine.
When Bella came out of the bathroom, Liam was still standing there waiting for her.
At the same time, he had a two or three–year–old child by his side.
He squatted on the ground, playing with the children. The children danced with joy, clearly liking him a lot.
“Liam.”
Liam saw her coming and smiled as he explained to her, “The baby’s mother also went to the restroom, so she asked me to help look after him for a while.”
Bella was somewhat surprised, “Do you know its mother?
“I didn’t know.”
you?”
“Then why was his mother so at ease with y
too me for
Speaking of this, Liam was also a bit troubled: “I don’t know either, every time I go out, there are always a lot of people asking me directions, asking for help.”
Bella actually understood that Liam was a very gentle person.
And he was very careful and kind.
He was completely different from Jeffrey, in every way.
“Bella, I wanted to tell you something
“Well, go ahead.”
“I liked you.”
Bella suddenly lifted her head up.
Liam was also a little embarrassed, but he still mustered up the courage to say, “Actually, I liked you back when we were in school. But at that time, we had a misunderstanding with a love letter, and I was inexplicably sent abroad on a scholarship, so I didn’t have a chance to tell you. This time, Mr. Weber told me that you finally agreed to come abroad for development, and I’m really happy.”
Bella wasn’t really surprised.
Since she arrived in Merribridge, although Liam claimed to be her senior, he had already done more than what a senior should do.
She was not a child, and she probably guessed some things.
To be fair, she did not reject Liam, and even thought he was indeed a good person.
But she didn’t expect that Liam would say i
vit so soon.
Bella asked him, “Our time together was still too short after all, don’t you think it was too fast?”
Liam said, “Life is too short, because my lack of courage in the past caused us to miss out on seven years. This time, I don’t want to hide in the shadows and secretly love you. I want to tell you my true feelings. I am actually mentally prepared for rejection, but I don’t want to stay silent and continue to miss out.”
This sentence made Bella’s mind slightly move,
, she liked Jeffrey, liked him for so many years, and had been waiting for his confession.
Yes, s
Wasn’t the thing actually that difficult, right?
She could have taken the initiative to explain her feelings to Jeffrey, even if she was rejected, their relationship would have been no worse than it is now.
“Bella, you didn’t have to answer me right away. You could have taken your time to think before responding

When the familiar scent of cologne walted Into her nostrils, Bella recognized him.
No one knew his embrace better than she did.
But after just a few days had passed, Bella felt a sense of unfamiliarity.
“It’s really you, you’re okay, that’s great. Come on, let’s go home.”
Liam asked, “Bella, who is this?”
Bella pushed Jeffrey away and created a reasonable distance between them, then calmly introduced, “Let me introduce you, this is my brother.”
