Chapter 120 - Afraid?

Though he was reluctant, he had to admit that he was the source of all these things.

Bella was the one who had to accept it. She struggled, but he imprisoned her.

How could Bella get close to him if he did not allow her?

Bella’s eyelashes shook. Charles immediately withdrew his hand. He did not even realize the fleeting fluster he had.

He suddenly said, “Don’t try to fool me into believing that you are asleep. Bella.”

Bella was taken aback.

He looked through her! 

She rolled her eyes and wondered whether she should open them or not.

She hesitated for a while and then finally opened them.

Charles looked at her coldly.

Bella felt awkward, she sat up and said, “I thought I was successful.”

“Yes, you were.”

“Huh?”

“I just had to try, and you opened your eyes.”

Bella was left speechless. Why did she open her eyes just now?

Charles did not make fun of her with that. And he was not as cold as he was earlier.

They looked at each other in silence.

After a moment, Bella suddenly said, “Charles.”

He replied, “Mhm.”

“Let’s try a test tube baby, Okay?” Bella looked at him calmly, “I would like to try no matter how many times it would take.”

“No!” Charles’s face darkened. But he quickly held back his anger which was quite rare, “Don’t talk nonsense, go to sleep now.”

Was he planning to go? She hadn’t finished her speech, things hadn’t been solved, and he was leaving?

Bella continued, “Charles, don’t run from this!”

He stopped and turned around only to see that she knelt on the bed. He could tell how desperate she was.

“Charles, can you be kind to me? I will keep my promise and give birth to a child. But don’t be so cruel to me, please!” Her eyes were big and bright. Though it was dark, he was still able to see the tears that were about to fall.

“Bella. Just be well-behaved. You are not the one to make any decisions here.”

Charles’s voice was cold and merciless, then turned to leave her nothing but coldness.

“Charles, I will be well-behaved. Please don’t make me stay here anymore. Is that such a hard thing?” Bella looked at his back and said softly. “Please don’t put me in such an unbearable situation. Let us try the test tube, let me leave here. If you are afraid that I would run away from you with the child, you can send your men to watch me. I will be miserable if you keep me here, so will Katherine. For her sake, for not making her sad, please let me leave.”

“Enough!” Charles turned around again and walked toward her. He held her by the face, “I have told you so many times that you are not qualified to make any decisions here. The way to have my child is up to me.”

He held her face tight. Her face and mouth were squished, and she was unable to utter a word.

But her sad and desperate look made him lose his mind.

This was the look that she had most of today. She was as desperate as a caged animal. No matter how hard she struggled, she was unable to get out of the cage. However, she still tried to hold back tears and smile at Charles.

His heart ached, and he suddenly withdrew his hand. He turned around and left.

Bella fell on her bed. As she looked at his back, she murmured, “If you told me that you had a girlfriend in advance, I would have never allowed myself to fall in love with you.”

It turned out that it was painful to love someone.

Charles stopped at the doorway. His voice was still gorgeous and profound, “So, do you regret falling in love with me?”

“Yes, I do. I am so regretful.”

He suddenly turned around and looked at her.

Bella sat on the bed and held the snow-coloured sheets tight, which made her thin knuckles protrude.

Charles sneered, “It turns out that you finally are regretful.”

Bella stared at him. They were so close and yet so far.

Charles’s cold eyes gleamed sarcasm. It seemed that he was satirizing her delicate love for him.

“Char…” Bella was about to say something, but she remained silent.

Charles had slept with her and forced her to say that she loved him not long ago. But now, their relationship had just gone back to nothing. No, it was from the moment Katherine came here that they became strangers again.

Their relationship was like a bubble and could be broken easily by the smallest pinprick.

Charles was gone. Bella stared at the doorway. No one was there; like there had never been anyone there.

His words echoed in her mind, “You are not the one to make any decisions here.”

Since the moment she came here, she deeply realized what it felt like to be unable to do anything.

Bella did not know when she fell asleep; her head ached a lot when she got up.

As she stood in the washroom, she looked at herself in the mirror. Her eyes were a little red and swollen. She was already numb.

Bella cheered up a little after she washed. She patted her face dry and said to herself, “Cheer up, Bella. It isn’t the time for you to be trapped in a relationship; your mother is still waiting for you to save her. Think about what your mom has suffered to raise you. Now, it is your turn. Don’t do anything emotionally, don’t irritate Charles.”

Then she walked towards Charles’s room.

When she reached the door, Charles happened to open it. He seemed surprised to see her.

Bella smiled as if nothing had happened the night before, “Do you need my blood?”

If he said no, she would be somewhat happy.

Charles’s eyes gleamed. He held Bella’s hand and pulled her in. He did not hesitate to bite her shoulder.

She had become used to the pain when he bit her, but this time he bit hard as if he was venting his emotions, which made Bella flinch from the pain.

She smiled slightly, “My Lord, don’t drink it all at once.”

Charles then looked up and wiped the blood on his mouth. His blue eyes gleamed maliciously, “Now are you afraid?”

At that moment, a soft and trembling voice came from the doorway, “Charles honey, you, you two…”
