Chapter 957
"Miss Green is nineteen this year, there’s quite an age difference," Butler Zhou continued."Yes, there’s quite an age difference," Mr. White said somewhat wistfully.
"Is that child really dead?" Mr. White lowered his eyelids, looking a bit sorrowful.
It was as if he aged several years in an instant.
"Back then, it was Chloe Johnson who delivered the baby. She said that when the baby was born, it wasn’t breathing..." Butler Zhou’s voice also carried a hint of sadness.
Regarding Miss White, there’s just an air of oppression and sadness in this family.
...
After Bella Green left Mr. White’s room, she headed directly downstairs.
Joanna Ramsey still needed to prepare some things over there, and she didn’t want to disturb her. More importantly, she had things to do.
She walked into the garden, took out her phone, hesitated for a long time, but still couldn’t hold back and dialed Victor Bennett’s number.
Even she didn’t know if this was the right thing to do.
But seeing the way Joanna Ramsey looked just now, it made her feel really uneasy.
Before she could even figure out her own feelings, the other side had already picked up.
"Sister-in-law?" Victor Bennett’s voice sounded a bit weary, with a hint of surprise.
It seemed he hadn’t expected Bella Green to call him suddenly.
"Victor, are you home?" she asked.
"No, I’m out with friends," Victor Bennett said.
These days, he rarely went home, always staying at an apartment outside, and Bella Green didn’t know what he had been up to lately.
Bella Green was silent for a while, not knowing how to start the conversation.
Or rather, she was unsure whether to bring up this matter with him.
After all, she wasn’t sure about Victor Bennett’s attitude.
And with Fiona Grantham in the middle, she was even more confused about what to do.
"Victor, do you like Fiona Grantham?" On an impulse, she ended up asking this question.
Victor Bennett was also taken aback, completely not expecting Bella Green’s call to be about this.
"Why are you suddenly asking this?" Victor Bennett’s voice sank a bit.
"Just answer me first."
Victor Bennett was silent for a while, then spoke in a tired voice.
"Maybe I did like her."
His words were hesitant because even he didn’t know if his past feelings for Fiona Grantham constituted liking her.
In any case, he was close to her, wanted to be good to her, and got anxious when he saw her being wronged.
Does that count as liking?
He didn’t know either.
"What about Joanna?"
Suddenly hearing Joanna Ramsey’s name, Victor Bennett was frozen, as if turned to stone, unable to react for a moment.
For several days, he hadn’t dared to think about that name, or even Joanna Ramsey as a person.
As for why he didn’t dare, even he didn’t know.
In any case, he had been doing his best to avoid thinking of her.
"What’s up with her?" he responded absentmindedly.
"Do you like Joanna?"
Bella Green’s voice traveled through the phone to his ears, making Victor Bennett feel a bit irritated.
Involuntarily, the familiar figure started to appear in his mind.
Smiling sweetly, as cute as a little rabbit.
Especially when she cried, she looked even more like a rabbit.
Victor Bennett’s mouth curled up into a radiant smile that he himself hadn’t noticed.
Yet his eyes uncontrollably reddened.
"Don’t like her? How could I possibly like her..."
He said with a smile, in a dismissive, indifferent tone.
On the other end, Bella Green slightly furrowed her brows.
This answer seemed expected, yet it felt like it shouldn’t have been the answer.
