Chapter 1075:
Mason Bennett did not go with her and told Bella Green that he was going to meet a friend.After dropping Bella off, the two parted ways.
At the café, Joanna Ramsey was already there.
The girl was wearing a pink wool dress, which made her small face look even more rosy and fair.
But the once round little face had now turned into an oval shape.
Bella Green looked at the girl, paused in her steps for a moment, then walked over.
"Joanna."
Hearing her voice, Joanna Ramsey looked up, eyes full of joy: "Bella, you’re here! Sit down, I ordered your favorite coffee and dessert."
Bella Green sat down, looked at the dessert in front of her, and smiled.
"How come, always eating good food, yet getting thinner?"
As she spoke, she raised her hand to pinch the girl’s cheek, and the feel of it made her a bit unaccustomed.
The formerly plump touch was no longer there.
It must be said, Joanna Ramsey was very pretty after losing weight, but she still preferred that round little face, cute and endearing.
Joanna Ramsey was taken aback for a moment, then pursed her lips and smiled, taking a sip of coffee: "Perhaps I’ve become the type to easily lose weight?"
It was clearly a jest, but there was no hint of humor in her tone.
Bella Green felt her heart sink a bit, contemplating a bit more.
"That second young master of the White Family, has he returned?"
Upon hearing this name, Joanna Ramsey’s body trembled sharply, almost spilling the cup in her hand.
A few drops of coffee splattered out, and Joanna quickly grabbed a napkin to wipe it up.
Bella Green’s eyes held deeper contemplation.
"He’s back," Joanna said while wiping the table.
The table was already clean, yet she continued to wipe it.
Bella Green’s lips turned downward, her heart sinking along with them.
"Oh? What kind of person is the second master of the White Family? Is he good to you?"
Joanna Ramsey withdrew her hand, placed it on her knee, clenched tightly, and managed a smile.
"He’s good."
Just three words, he’s good...
"Are you going to stay in Kyoto?" Bella Green didn’t press further.
Joanna Ramsey shook her head: "I’ll be returning to Brocade City in a couple of days. My dad isn’t well, and it’s just an engagement, not a marriage."
Bella Green nodded, continuously stirring her coffee.
"Joanna, if you’re not happy, don’t force yourself."
That light sentence felt as heavy as a thousand pounds, impacting Joanna Ramsey’s heart, making her breathing somewhat unsteady.
She bit her lip tightly, her face growing paler.
After a long while, she finally looked up at Bella Green.
The once bright and cheerful smile was now difficult to find.
The optimistic, carefree, and adorable girl had changed in just half a month.
"Bella, I’m engaged."
Bella Green, upon hearing this, looked at her, signaling her to continue.
Joanna Ramsey’s lips trembled slightly, and after a while, she continued.
"Can you ask Victor Bennett not to come looking for me again?"
These words seemed to take a lot of strength from Joanna Ramsey.
These words surprised Bella Green.
She opened her mouth in surprise, looking at Joanna Ramsey: "Victor Bennett is in Kyoto?"
Joanna Ramsey nodded.
Bella Green suddenly thought about how Victor Bennett hadn’t been home recently. Could it be that he had been in Kyoto all along?
It must be said, this news shocked Bella Green.
Her heart grew more complex.
She thought that the relationship between the two had long since ended.
But who would have thought that there was still a connection between them...
