447 A Family Eating Together

"Bell!"

Charles held her hand and his blue was full of smile. "Although Nick wants to separate us, I really never expect that someone will betray the Kingdom of the Sea and betray me."

People in Charles’s team were those who had been carefully selected for over a hundred years. They had been loyal for a hundred years, and even some people had blocked bullets for him in the war. Charles did not expect that one of them would betray him.

One hundred years of loyalty was prepared for the betrayal one time. This chess was hidden so deeply.

"Nick used such deep chess, he would not do anything." Charles finally asked the doubts buried in his heart. "What did he say to you?"

This was the best opportunity. Bella had raised it herself. Then it wouldn’t be strange if he asked again.

Bella said, "Nick said that the doctor owed him when he was in the Kingdom of the Sea."

Just when Charles thought she wanted to avoid the question, Bella told what Nick said to her to him.

After Charles hearing, his face became cold, "Bell, we don’t need to kill Bryant to save the tree of life, you do not have to worry." He held her face, forcing her to look at his eyes, forcefully said, "Believe me, Bell. I only have Bryant, one child, I will not let him get hurt. I only love you in my life, and I will not let you get hurt neither."

He looked at her anxiously. "Bell, believe me!"

Bella held his hand and kissed it along her lips. "I believe in you, Charles, I believe in you. I will always believe in you. I believe that whatever you do is for us, for our Bryant. But..."

She paused and asked, "Charles, you have to tell me, what should Bryant do to save the tree of life, is it hot blood?"

Charles nodded, "Combine the blood of three of us, 15 days, feeding the tree of life every day. After one year, Bryant should feed the tree of life every day, it only needs a little bit. Not much. You can rest assured. Bryant is going to be the king in the future, he will not die, and he will never die."

"The blood of three of us?" Bella seemed to think of something and said, "Oh, Charles, you can drink my blood directly, does it mean that you also have the special blood?"

"For the terrestrial humans, of course I have special blood."

"What about Ziv and other people?"

"Yes."

Bella nodded thoughtfully, "It turns out to be this."

"What do you mean?" Charles suddenly had an unexplainable bad feeling.

Bella smiled and said, "It turned out that our blood is the same. Are we considered to be close relatives to get married?"

Charles smiled. "Although we have similar blood and the same ancestors, we are definitely not close relatives. If we were really close relatives, then you must call me..."

"Call you what?" Bella’s eyes widened.

"Uncle!"

"How it could be! You must be the same generation of my great-grandfather." Bella reminded him, "You are two centuries older than me."

“So do you think I am too old?”

Bella answered very honestly and replied, "I don't think so, after all, you are so good-looking. But... your age is the certain elder."

So, what was the difference between old and elder?

Bella very considerately explained, "Listen, you are elder, you see... my brother used to be old! So the difference between old and elder is still very huge."

Charles laughed and was somewhat satisfied. "If Edwin hears this, he must be sad."

"Hush! Don't let him know!" Bella made a funny face.

The haze brought by Nick was swept away by this.

Nick said that she would step into his prophecy step by step, and Bella was not afraid of it. She said to Charles, "No matter what happens between us, we must not hide from each other. You know what, when Nick told me about it, I was really scared and shaken. But I told you now. I don't feel scared. I know that you will protect me and protect our child."

Nick did not know the secret that Charles kept for him. He did not know the character of Charles.

Over the years, Nick had assassinated over and over again, and had repeatedly trapped Charles, and even used halo to boost the waves. Regardless of what kind of defamation and injury Charles had suffered, he insisted on the entrustment that his father left him. He did not expose Nick’s birth and did not hurt him, which was enough to prove that Charles would not be the kind of person who would kill his son.

Therefore, although Nick’s words made her scared, afterward she thought about it, and found that Nick’s statement could not stand at all.

So she would give up her defense at that time, because if she spent that time to justify, it would only make her brain more and more chaotic.

Now, she calmed down, and she understood everything.

She held Charles's hand very tightly. "Charles, I know that you have your duties, but I believe that your duty is definitely not to start with killing your own child. I don’t know other merpeople. but I believe this is not a race that wants to take human life for health, am I right?"

Charles looked at her and told her with great gratitude and strength, "Yes."

Bella hugged him tightly. "Charles, no matter what happens, you must tell me. Just like I tell you now. Okay?"

Charles hugged her back and said, "Yeah!"

Bella was not talking anymore, but waiting, waiting for Charles to tell her truth.

However, Charles had no truth to tell her.

Bella sighed, Charles, what would you want to do? Don't be stupid, don't let me guess out! Charles!

In that night, Steven came back very late.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Bella and Charles sitting in the hall waiting for him.

"Why you haven't slept yet?" Steven was a little surprised.

He lived in the backyard with Edwin, and wanted to eat fast noodles then he returned to the main villa to cook. He didn't expect them not to sleep.

Charles said, "Bell said that a family should have dinner together, we are waiting for you to have dinner together."

"You, haven't had dinner?" Steven was surprised. "It's already half past ten."

"The lord and the lady have been waiting for Master Steven all the time, and they have not eaten yet." Roy said.

Steven felt moved and guilty. "Bell, you are pregnant, how can you let yourself hungry..."

Bella smiled, "Don't be so moved, when I work overtime in the future, you have to wait for me."

"Of course!" Steven smiled. "A family must eat together."

Although it was said that people shouldn’t speak when eating, Steven still kept talking about what happened later.

"The lord’s plan is so nice, money really works." Steven smiled. "I really don’t dare to spend so much money."

Charles said calmly. “We are very rich.”

Bella was speechless. "It’s better not to do this later. Sometimes money will make people greedy and easy to be used by people deliberately. Some people think that you have money, and next time they will find a random reason to let you spend money. You can't always be fooled by this every time."

Charles touched her head and said, "Okay, I will do as you say."
