Chapter 220 Bella

The winter cold swept through the long with a chilling north wind. In January, Chicago

street had already begun to freeze.

Even though the city was bustling with activity, it carried a hint of desolation.

Beatrice got

got out of the taxi with a bag in her hand and quickly pulled up her old sweater to cover half of her face.

As I turned around, I discovered that the once solemn entrance of the Baldwin's mansion was unexpectedly adorned with lights and decorations.

It's not the Spring Festival, why is there such a grand occasion?

Beatrice greeted the people in the

the security

Toom and

Monica was directing the servants to do tasks in the porch.

"Mom."

"Beatrice, you're here! What is this? It's so beautifully wrapped."

Saying that, Monica reached out to open the bag and take a look.

quickly walked. in.

Beatrice immediately hid behind her back: "It's nothing, just picked it up on the way. What day is it today, why is it so grand?"

Monica made sure that the maid had swept the fallen leaves clean before she pulled Beatrice towards the restaurant.

"Sir Baldwin's guest, specifically requested by him, I was also prepared for it. I can say that I have finally turned the corner. Look at the flowers I prepared, do they look nice!

Beatrice glanced out the window as Monica pointed.

The flowers in the window view were exquisite and beautiful, clearly indicating that they had been carefully nurtured by someone.

The beautiful scenery imprinted deeply in her eyes, even appearing somewhat dazzling.

She smiled and said, 'It looked good."

At the restaurant, the servants presented the arranged tea and fruits to Monica one by one.

Monica held herself with an air of superiority as she looked around, her expression filled with indescribable satisfaction.

Beatrice went along with her airs and graces, after all these years, it was the first time she could. take charge in this house. Smiling, there was a noise outside the door.

""Mr. Caden."

He came.

Beatrice got up and instinctively tightened her grip on the bag in her hand. There is no one else in the restaurant now, so I will give it to him now, to avoid having to look for him privately later, which wouldn't be good if someone else saw it. Just as I was thinking, there suddenly came the gentle laughter of Xander at the door."

"Bella also came, it seems like Caden took good care of you."

"Thank you, Mr. Caden, for picking me up."

A woman's voice sounded a few steps away..

Gently and softly, without any pretense, it actually sounds very comforting.

However, this sound inexplicably made Beatrice feel familiar, but in her memory, there was no person who made Xander so gentle.

The next second, a woman who entered side by side with Caden came into view.

She sat in an electric wheelchair, moving at a slow pace. Her legs were completely covered by at white cashmere skirt, making her look like a soft and creamy butter.

Beatrice was instantly reminded of the beautiful and well-cared-for flowers that Monica had placed outside.

The most important thing was that her other hand was holding Caden's hand.

Beatrice stared blankly at the two people holding hands, and it took her a moment to realize that the woman was smiling at her.

"This is..."

Xander swept Beatrice with 1 hint of sarcasm, saying, "Ryan's... stepdaughter." At first, Beatrice thought the other person was a relative of the Baldwin family, like Caden, who was older.

She quickly smiled and said, "Hello, Beatrice."

"Was it you in the hospital restroom? I remember your voice," she chuckled and quickly grabbed Beatrice's hand. "Thank you so much, I'm Bella Soder."

"You're welcome. I was actually thinking about asking you for the money back at that time. I'll give you the money later..."

"Don't give it to me, give it to him." Bella lightly tapped Caden's arm, still radiant with her smile even though she was sitting in a wheelchair. "Consider it as me repaying the coffee I owed you before. Why didn't you tell me there was such a beautiful niece in your family? I didn't even prepare a gift."

"It's nothing."

Caden didn't look at Beatrice, he just lowered his gaze and smiled faintly at Bella. Beatrice was not foolish, she instantly realized that the Bella in front of her was not a relative of the Baldwin family.

She had never seen Caden smile so freely at any woman.

For a moment, she couldn't speak and just hid the bag in her hand behind her back "So you two know each other." Xander stood with his hands behind his back, his expression. somewhat subtle. Beatrice, she is Caden's lifesaver, just returned from abroad. She is also Caden's junior in university, comes from a prominent family. You two should get along well in the future."

The lifesaver had a distinguished background.

This is what Xander wanted Beatrice to hear.

Chapter 220 Bella

Beatrice couldn't say anything more. She glanced up slightly, and what she saw in Bella's eyes as she looked at Caden was a serene and loving gaze.

How could a a man who is willing to sacrifice his life not have any emotions?

Her throat felt bitter, but there was still a smile on her face. I understand," she said.

As the words fell, the man's cold gaze silently landed on her.

Beatrice didn't look up, she just stood there quietly.

Before long, the relatives of the Baldwin family also arrived.

Xander waved his hand and said, "Don't stand, please have a seat."

Monica was particularly hardworking today: "You guys go ahead and eat, I'll go check the kitchen."

Once she left, Beatrice felt a bit uncomfortable. She waited for everyone else to sit down before finding a seat on the side.

Bella maneuvered her wheelchair forward and looked at the chair with some difficulty, saying, "Mr. Caden, could you help me?"

Her wheelchair is quite big, if she doesn't sit on the chair, I'm afraid she won't be able to accommodate so many people. "Um."

Caden slowly bent down.

Beatrice was taken aback.

Although Caden had previously shown an extremely caring attitude towards Madelynn, she now also knows that there is some element of pretense involved.

But now, the man in front of him fixed his gaze on Bella's face, and his movements were very gentle and soothing.

Completely different from Madelynn.

With the comparison, it is easy to tell whether it is true or false at a glance. In a daze, the person next to Beatrice suddenly moved the solid wood carved chair, directly pressing down on her finger resting on the armrest. Before she could express her pain, the person next to her quickly stood up and said, "Ms. Soder, there's no need to feel like an outsider, just ask someone to move a chair."noveldrama

"But it seems like I can't sit down." Bella hesitated, and it was evident that she genuinely didn't want to bother anyone..

"How could you not find a seat?" the person next to them added.

Beatrice pinched her fingers and, as she looked up, she noticed Xander giving her a fleeting glance.

She understood everything and immediately got up, saying, "I'll go see if my mom needs any help." "Um, go ahead."

Xander smiled kindly with a benevolent expression.

Beatrice took the things and turned around, immediately followed by the sound of moving chairs. She turned around and took a glance, removing her chair and adding Bella's wheelchair, Chapter 220 Bella

everything was just right.

Actually, I never intended to let her and Monica sit down.

She sneered in her heart and turned around to enter the kitchen.

Monica didn't understand all the twists and turns, she only knew that Xander valued her a lot now, so she endured the smoke and carefully arranged everything.

Even for the cold dishes on the table, she would still check the presentation Beatrice couldn't bear to ruin her mood, so she walked over with a smile.

"Mom, I came to help you."

"No, cough...," Monica covered her mouth, "you go sit down and eat. Today I stewed a medicinal soup, all made with herbs that can't be bought outside. Later, you should have two more bowls." Beatrice thought of Bella, who was in a wheelchair. It was obvious that this herbal medicine was prepared for her.

"Can't I have the first sip of essence here?" she joked.

Monica

"Okay."

looked at her and coquettishly said, Mischievous, just you

wait.

Beatrice hid her injured hand along with the scarf she was going to give to Caden behind her. It seems like it couldn't be delivered again this time.

Looking at the nearby trash can, she suddenly remembered Alicia's words from yesterday. "Emotions are most afraid of being dragged on like this, until the end when they become tangled and impossible to untangle..." Now thinking back, Caden never admitted any feelings for her.

She always carried the memories of her past life and speculated about his intentions.
