A Mysterious Man novel Chapter 64

Bella pauses for a moment to see Kevin's reaction before she continues her words.

"The first time I removed the bandages, I break up, and although I don't care about my appearance, those scars, which are densely laid on my body, I felt like I had turned into a monster..."

Kevin imagines that image and can't help but shudder.

Amelia also quietly envisioned the whole thing.

"Then why didn't you contact us after so long, you know how sad we were when we found out that incident..."

"Contact?" Bella's voice seems a bit sarcastic, "I don't even dare to look in the mirror, how dare I contact you guys? It won't be you guys who will get the news first but the media."

Kevin listens to Bella words and he suddenly has an explainable feeling, as if, something has deteriorated.

Amelia doesn't know how to answer Bella words. Those people at home would hide her when they found her at that time.

"I underwent dozens of surgeries before I recovered, the doctor implanted skin on my body countless times..."

For a while, the car is silent, Kevin and Amelia can't say anything at all, while Bella, who seems to be caught up in that horrible memory, she doesn't speak either.

"If you've come this time, don't leave, stay at ease." Kevin can't help but speak, the debt he owed to her need to pay by himself.

Currently, Bella smiles and turns around, looking at Kevin's, "Kevin, are you still willing to marry me now?"

When Amelia hears this question, she is stunned and she wanted to get out of the car, not wanting to hear Kevin's answer at all.

But Kevin doesn't answer the question, "You just got back, don't think too much for now."

Bella smiles and nods, "Yes." It is just that if someone looks into her eyes at this point, they may be able to see that there is no smile at all in her eyes.

Kevin suddenly let out a sigh of relief, and he doesn't know why he doesn't answer the question directly but choose to avoid it.

Maybe it is because of the Sunny that suddenly pops into his head at that time?

The speed of the car is fast, and it doesn't take a long time to arrive at the villa.

Bella looks at the villa, "It's still the same, it hasn't changed at all."

In the middle of the conversation, Irene hears a noise, she comes out and sees there is two girls stand beside Mr. Quinn, one of the girls is the girl who already dies!

Irene presses down the oddness in her heart and welcomes her.

"Mr. Quinn is back. Oh, who are they?"

"This is Irene. They are the two daughters of the Morgan family, the eldest daughter Bella and the youngest daughter Amelia."

Irene nods, "Please come inside."

Bella hesitates and walks in, while Amelia hesitated for a while before stepping in, if possible, she doesn't want to see the two of them lovey-dovey in front of her at all.

Amelia doesn't go directly to the living room, she walks around to the back garden, Kevin watches the direction she goes, he is frowned and then has no choice but to follow her.

"It's still the same here." Bella looks at the Lisianthus in front of her and speaks to Kevin who is behind her.

"Waiting for you to come back ah." Michelle swears she hears the grumbling inside and has no choice but to turn back, "Hey man, take it easy, you know it's hard for me to come back."

Kevin doesn't say anything else, just stands behind Bella quietly, he is looking with her at the flower that is swaying in the wind.

"How have you been these past few years?"

Bella knows that she has asked a nonsense question. Based on the way Kevin attitude before, she can imagine his condition in the following years.

As expected, Kevin tugs at the corner of his mouth and doesn't answer.

Bella must continue, "I think you should be having a pretty hard time, it's not easy for everyone to make a living..."

"I've had a pretty good life." Kevin interrupts her forcefully, not knowing why he doesn't want to listen to her so-called hard life anymore.

Bella doesn't expect Kevin to interrupt her, her face is pale for a moment.

Kevin's face is also pale, "I'm doing well now, I don't need someone to remind me over and over again how hard it used to be, I am knowing those, I haven't forgotten them at all, but I don't want to remember them again either."

Kevin's speech is a bit fast and his face is a bit pale.

Bella pauses for a moment before answering, "Fine, pretend I don't say anything."

At this time Irene calls them from behind, "Mr. Quinn, come over and have something to eat, you haven't eaten anything early in the morning."

Bella looks at him with a smiling face, "Haven't eaten?"

"I just want to confirm whether you are still alive or not."

Kevin intends to leave after saying that without any expression, and Bella is about to follow, but the corner of her eye was flashed by a light.

She follows that light over, and the reflection is a lady's earring.

Bella picks it up and looks at it for a long time, then she clutches it tightly.

"Kevin, why are you walking so fast, I can't keep up with you..."

Kevin slows down his steps, waiting for Bella to walk beside him

Amelia has followed Irene all the time, and she goes wherever Irene goes, it is causing Irene to be a little embarrassed.

"Miss Morgan, you don't have to follow me all the time, you can go sit on the sofa for a while and then eat some fruit."

Amelia says with a guilty smile, "Irene, I don't want to be a light bulb."

Irene only then reacts, "Yes, I don't have to consider that."

Amelia smiles and takes the initiative to take the bowl in her hand for Irene, "So, let me follow you, I will never be a hindrance."

Irene smiles and nods, this girl is just as sensible as Miss Ellen.

As they are talking, Bella and Kevin walk in together.

Irene is busy bringing the rest of the food to the table, "Sit down and let's eat some first."

Bella nods and she is about to take a seat, but Kevin stops her, "There's someone else there, you change seats."

Irene looks over, and she realizes that Bella is going to sit where Miss Ellen has been sitting before.

"Where there's a person."

"My mother."

Bella sees that Kevin has carried out her mother, so she has no choice but to take the seat next to her.

"I'm sorry auntie, I didn't mean it." Bella apologizes to the non-existent person before she picks up her chopsticks, "Irene's cooking skill is improving."

Irene blushes, "Miss Morgan is good at joking, it is just a simple dish."

Bella says, "Irene's cooking skill is unbeatable."

Irene could only laugh, and Kevin said, "Don't speak at the feeding or sleeping time."

Bella must shut her mouth, and she says indefatigably, "I remember you aren't like this before."

Kevin's is stunned for a while and he says, "People will change."

When Kevin says this, Bella is thinking of the lady's earrings she has picked up in the garden, "Including the heart?"

Kevin doesn't know what she meant, but he feels as if she meant something, so he only answers yes.

"Alright, let's eat, it's not too late to talk afterwards." Irene must come to save the atmosphere from embarrassment, then she and Amelia look at each other, they both see the helplessness in each other's eyes.

Only then Kevin starts eating, and Bella must shut up and poke at the rice in the bowl with her chopsticks.

While eating, Kevin remembers the scene when he is eating with Sunny, the two of them don't talk much, but the things they talk about are interesting, and while they are talking, the rice was finished unconsciously.

And unlike now, the dinner table is endlessly awkward.

Kevin thinks that he would be happy, excited, and overwhelmed by the news that Bella is still alive, but no, he does not.

After he saw Bella, none of these feelings appears, and there is only endless guilty.

Yes, he is guilty when he is peaking at the scars on Bella's neck, he is thinking of how flawless she is before, just because of him...

Thinking of this, Kevin shakes his head, hinting that he shouldn't think about it anymore, these things are all past.

But Bella isn't quite ready to let him go, "Kevin, do you remember the first time we met?"

Kevin suddenly feels that he doesn't want to eat with her, so he directly put down his chopsticks, "I don't remember."

Bella's smile remained unchanged on her face, but the depths of her eyes were chilly.

Amelia looks at her and she is frightened by Bella.

She immediately chooses to lower her head, tells herself she doesn't see anything, she is just eating.

Bella has noticed that her sister has seen her true emotions, and she grabs some food and placed it in Amelia's bowl, "Eat more, look at how skinny you've been lately."

Amelia looks at the dishes in the bowl, but it is the celery that she hated the most.

"Thank you."

Amelia only must endure and eat the celery; the taste almost makes her vomit.

"After you guys finish eating you may go home first, the Morgan family should have a bunch of things waiting for an explanation from you." Kevin starts to give the eviction order, and Bella nods her head.

"Well," Amelia can't wait to go back and escape from Bella, but she forgets that she must go back in the same car with her.
