Chapter 5: Don't bring trouble to the girl
As soon as these words came out, the Davis family members were shocked and became restless, and stood up hurriedly.
"How dare we tease Charles?" Eleanor's hands were shaking slightly, and her voice was trembling uncontrollably. "It's just that my family really doesn't have an adult daughter, so I had no choice but to let Bella get married. If Wilson Smith insists that Cindy marry him, then the engagement should be put on hold..."
Eleanor looked at Cindy and said with difficulty: "How about I wait until Cindy turns 18 before I get engaged to you?"
In fact, Eleanor was unwilling to let Cindy marry Charles from the bottom of her heart. After all, Cindy was the most outstanding daughter of the Davis family. In these years, besides Marcus, only Cindy could bring honor to the Davis family. Now that Marcus has passed away, if Cindy has any accident, the future prospects of the Davis family will be unimaginable.
However, when Wilson Smith came to propose and named Cindy , she had no choice but to agree. Later, Sophia suggested that Bella could replace Cindy . She thought this was a good idea, but she didn't expect to anger Charles .
" Hey! You are going to die, so don't harm the girl. Can't you see that she doesn't want to be a widow?" At this moment, Bella, who had been sitting on the chair playing with her phone, suddenly looked up and said to Charles.
Her tone was full of provocation, and her words were undoubtedly asking for trouble.
The Davis family was terrified. Sophia clenched her fists and angrily yelled, "What nonsense are you talking about? Who told you to talk? Get out of here!"
Eleanor was also furious, but because Charles was there, she tried hard not to lose her temper. Bella had promised to cooperate, but now she was making trouble. If Wilson Smith caused trouble later, she would make Bella live a life worse than death and regret what she did today.
Cindy couldn't help it, pointing at Bella's nose and scolding: "You country bumpkin, you won't be satisfied until you harm our Davis family, right? Get out right now, we don't welcome you in our Davis family!"
Things have developed to this point, and the Davis family can see that Charles does not want to marry Bella . His previous tolerance for Bella has turned into anger at this moment. They insulted Bella one after another , with sharp and sarcastic words.
Charles leaned lazily on the back of the chair, with his hands wrapped around his chest. A light flashed across his dark pupils, and he stared at Bella with a flash of surprise in his eyes. Since entering the door, the girl has never looked at him straight. Even if the Davis family was terrified in front of him, she was not afraid at all, and she was playing with her mobile phone the whole time, as if everything that happened in the room had nothing to do with her.
Anyone in front of Charles was either flattering or afraid. Only she sat there so carelessly, lazy and a little bit ruffian. Facing the abuse of the Davis family , she didn't even blink. Her red lips were slightly curled, her eyebrows under the baseball cap were slightly raised, and her cold eyes looked straight at Charles , as if piercing his heart in an instant.
The two stared at each other for a long time before Charles looked away. He glanced at Eleanor calmly and said slowly, "You scolded my fiancée in front of me. You Davis family, do you think I don't exist?"
Just one sentence made Eleanor freeze on the spot. She was stunned. What did this mean? Fiancée? Charles accepted Bella ?
" Shut up!" Eleanor suddenly growled at the Davis family . Her wrinkled face looked a little hideous. "Apologize to Bella !"
As smart as Eleanor is, she didn't ask Charles whether he really wanted Bella. She just wanted to do things beautifully and calm Charles' anger.
Cindy, who scolded Bella the most, was stunned. She looked at Eleanor in disbelief. "Grandma, are you kidding me? Bella said nonsense here and offended Charles. You want us to apologize to her?" Cindy's voice was full of excitement.
Eleanor gave her a sharp look, gritted her teeth and said coldly: "I want you to apologize! Now!"
" I..." Cindy wanted to say something but was stopped by her father. In the end, under the majesty of the old lady, those who scolded Bella had to apologize, including Sophia . She felt really embarrassed to apologize to her daughter whom she had always looked down upon, but she did not dare to go against the old lady's wishes.
After apologizing, Eleanor smiled flatteringly and asked Charles: "It's all because the children are ignorant. Charles, please forgive their rudeness."
Charles took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it, blowing out a circle of smoke from his lips under the mask. His eyes turned slightly and looked at Bella, "Do you accept the apology?"
Bella raised her eyebrows and curled the corners of her lips into a wicked smile when she heard that, "I don't accept it."
" Did you hear that?" Charles leaned slightly with one arm on the chair, looking at Eleanor lazily .
Eleanor secretly cursed Bella for being tactless but she didn't dare to say anything in front of Charles. She had to lower herself and ask Bella: "How can you forgive them?"
Bella put one hand on the table, supported her chin, half squinted her eyes and thought seriously for a while, then said casually: "How about sewing your mouth shut?"
She smiled, but her words were horrifying. No one would have thought that a 19-year-old girl could be so cruel. She wanted to sew someone's mouth shut just because she cursed at her. This...
" Bella , don't go too far..." Cindy was so angry that she wanted to hit Bella , but she was blocked by someone as soon as she opened her mouth.
If the Davis family still can't see that Charles is helping Bella , then they have really lived in vain for so many years. Cindy scolded Bella without any expression , and she probably didn't even know how she died.
Eleanor took a breath and glanced at Bella with her vicissitudes of life eyes. She pursed her lips and said for a long time: "They did something wrong and shouldn't scold you, but this punishment is too... heavy. Please let them go this time. I, an old man, apologize to you on their behalf."
Even so, the old lady didn't show any sign of apology. Bella raised her chin, tapped her fingers slowly on the table, and said casually, "Can't you do it?" Eleanor clenched her hands at both sides, and a gleam of light flashed in her eyes. She never expected that even after she lowered her posture like this, Bella would still remain unmoved. She looked up at Charles , and seeing that Charles didn't say anything, she had to bow and apologize again: "I'm sorry, please forgive them."
Bella still held her chin up, her eyebrows drooping, and ignored her. The atmosphere became very awkward for a while.
Charles put out his cigarette, poured a glass of water and handed it to Bella, "In a society ruled by law, why not change the punishment?" His voice was very masculine, hoarse and a little vicissitudes. He was naturally cold to everyone, but he was much gentler to Bella .
Bella raised her eyebrows slightly, and the hand he stretched out was slender, with white fingertips. While handing her the cup, he accidentally touched her hand, which was very warm. She thought about it seriously, "That's right. How about slapping yourself ten times?"
"That's good." Charles' expression could not be seen under the mask, but Cindy saw the smile in Charles' eyes. Eleanor stared at Bella coldly, gritted her teeth, and said to the people who scolded Bella expressionlessly: "Didn't you hear it? Why don't you do it?"
