Bella Green was at a loss for words, unsure if it was his question that rendered her speechless or the unexpected encounter leaving her unsure how to face him... After a long silence, Bella Green slowly spoke. "I said I came to deliver something. I didn’t know you were here." The man responded with a grunt, then ungraciously continued, "A very poor excuse." Bella Green’s cheeks flushed, partially embarrassed and annoyed. The way he said it made it seem like she came looking for him on purpose!! "Think whatever you want, I’m leaving." Bella murmured before trying to pry open the iron-like grip of the large hand that held her. Just as Bella was struggling with his fingers, suddenly, Mason Bennett pulled her into his embrace. Caught off guard, Bella crashed into his chest and froze for a moment, then began to struggle frantically. "Mason, didn’t you say we broke up? Why are you still being a jerk? Do you really think you can have your way with me just like that?" The girl shouted furiously, her voice gradually taking on a sobbing tone. Does this man have any shame? He was the one who insisted on being with her. He was the one who nonsensically wanted to break up. And now, even after the breakup, he’s still laying hands on her... Feeling the girl’s intense struggle and the sobbing accusations in her voice, Mason Bennett’s heart, empty like it was about to be filled with a cold wind, seemed to be filled again at that moment. He wanted to let her go, wanted to never cross paths again, thinking he shouldn’t keep humiliating himself. However, seeing her appear the instant she did, even if he didn’t want to admit it, he couldn’t stop his heart, cold as it was like buried in fallen leaves and earth, from pounding once more. Because of that unintentional intruder, warmth he craved surged again... "If I’m being a jerk, what are you? Trespasser?" The man’s muffled voice sounded above her. Bella froze for a moment, then argued, "I came to deliver something, your card. I’m giving it back to you; I don’t want it." Mason Bennett heard and remained silent, refusing to release his grip on Bella which led to a standstill between the two. Outside, the taxi waiting for Bella honked impatiently once more. Bella snapped back into reality, pushing against Mason. "I’m leaving, let go." But the man’s grip only tightened, making her almost breathless. "Bella Green, have I been too indulgent with you?" Mason’s voice bore a tinge of anger as he held her chin, forcing her to look up and meet his eyes. In the dead of night, his pitch-black eyes glinted with a chilling light, making Bella’s heart race with fear. Outside, the driver, seemingly impatient, turned the car and left. But Bella was still stunned by Mason’s words. This update ıs available on 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩·𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢·𝔫𝔢𝔱 Indeed, Mason, you certainly spoiled me... "Come and go as you please, huh?" His voice grew even deeper and colder. Like an icy blade, it pierced Bella Green’s ears. She indeed took everything for granted; regardless of past lives, he was always the one giving. Yet she was the one who unknowingly kept hurting him... "Then what do you want?" Bella Green looked at him. In the darkness, the girl’s gaze was clear and bright, untouched by any impurity. That indifferent tone hit Mason Bennett’s ears with a different, unexpected meaning. He suddenly let out a cold laugh, pushing her away, his gaze distant and icy enough to make someone uneasy.
