Chapter 1081
Bella Green’s tone was slightly hurried, her limbs growing colder as she spoke.All that talk about Louis Lawrence’s fiancée, unable to tolerate women by his side, was nonsense.
That person was coming for her.
One moment Bella Green thought things were clear, but now, it’s even more confusing.
Many things, yet no clues to be found.
Louis Lawrence gazed at her, his long, fox-like eyes full of profound meaning.
"You are indeed very smart." His voice carried a barely perceptible sigh.
He wasn’t sure if her intelligence was good or bad...
"So, just what is going on here, aren’t you planning to tell me... brother?"
The two words were like a current, swept through his ears straight to his heart, tightening his breath.
The pupils, pitch-black, contracted tightly, and in the depth of those black eyes, Bella Green’s figure was reflected.
His breathing fell out of rhythm, even the expression on his face had a few cracks.
"You, say it again..."
Bella Green’s brow moved slightly, she pressed her lips together, and after a moment, she slowly spoke: "You want me to call you brother, then at least let me understand what’s going on?"
Upon hearing her words, Louis Lawrence suddenly laughed, seemingly very pleased.
The indulgence in his eyes was undisguised.
He raised his hand, placing it on Bella Green’s head, and gently ruffed that little head he hadn’t touched in a long time.
The softness of her hair made him vaguely nostalgic.
This girl’s head, fluffy, feels very nice to the touch.
"You just need to know, I won’t harm you, and also, return to Brocade City as soon as possible."
Bella Green didn’t shy away from his hand, but listened intently to his words, narrowing her eyes.
"Return quickly?" She grasped the keyword in his sentence.
It was both a warning and a reminder.
Louis Lawrence’s eyes darkened slightly, then were replaced by amusement.
"If you don’t go, the crew’s schedule will be delayed. What, do you want the whole crew to wait for you?"
The sudden change in topic made Bella Green grit her teeth in anger.
She was sure that wasn’t what Louis Lawrence meant.
She could somewhat guess his reason for urging her to leave quickly.
"Will someone harm me? Was it the person before? If you truly care about me, just tell me, who is it?"
Louis Lawrence watched her for a while, then averted his gaze, his tone indifferent.
"I don’t know. Go back to Brocade City, stay on Mason Bennett’s turf, being his lady of the manor, isn’t it nice?"
The term "lady of the manor" made Bella Green’s mouth twitch uncontrollably.
What kind of description was that?
"Louis Lawrence, even now, you’re still not planning to tell me?"
Bella Green felt a bit stifled.
Who knows what matter would make Louis Lawrence keep mum so tightly.
She knew Louis Lawrence was genuinely concerned for her, everything he did before was for her safety.
But if that’s the case, why not tell her?
Clearly after telling her, she’d be even safer, wouldn’t she?
"Good girl, call brother."
"Will you tell me if I call you brother?"
"Yes, call brother and I’ll tell you."
"Brother."
That soft voice made Louis Lawrence let out a breath, only feeling a full-body comfort.
He had heard Bella Green call Mason Bennett brother before, it sounded nice.
He always wondered when Bella Green would call him that.
As expected, when this little girl called him brother, she was especially cute, and it sounded particularly nice...
The man’s smile deepened, his eyes completing a beautiful arc.
No longer that usual mischievous allure, captivating, but instead very clear, brilliant, indescribably attractive...
