CHAPTER 240: CHAPTER 232: PROCLAIMING SOVEREIGNTY, COMING TO PICK UP THE GIRLFRIEND

Bella Woods looked confused and tentatively asked, "How did your third brother bully you?"

"I said, let you accompany me for a few days. My third brother said if I dared, he’d send me away," Calvin Marshall said unhappily, feeling that people shouldn’t be so domineering.

Bella Woods was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "He’s busy; don’t take it seriously."

Bella Woods didn’t believe that, with Nina Sutton unwilling to let him go, Ashton Marshall would care where she was.

For instance, tonight, he hadn’t even sent a message asking where she was.

This indicated that Ashton Marshall didn’t care where Bella Woods was at all.

The reason he spoke to Calvin Marshall like that was just because he had been in a high position for too long, and couldn’t tolerate anyone challenging his authority.

"It’s late, let’s sleep," Bella Woods pulled Calvin a bit.

Calvin Marshall opened his mouth, but had no comeback.

"Then let’s sleep, don’t worry about anything else." She lay down next to Bella Woods, pulling Bella Woods into her arms.

Bella Woods helplessly said, "Sixty, I can’t sleep with you holding me like this."

"So what, is it illegal for me to sleep hugging my best friend?" Calvin Marshall righteously said, and murmured, "Don’t even know if I’ll get this chance again."

This comment touched Bella Woods. She stopped resisting and instead pulled Calvin Marshall’s hand tightly onto herself.

She also wanted to cherish the rare and only friendship within the limited time.

...

The next day.

The housekeeper from Calvin Marshall’s residence came to knock on the door, reminding them that breakfast was ready downstairs and urging Calvin and his friend to get up and eat.

Calvin Marshall complained, "Aunt Dunn, why do you wake me up so early every day? I haven’t gotten enough sleep yet."

"Miss Sixty, you’ve forgotten. Sir and madam said that whenever you’re home, the whole family must have breakfast together." Aunt Dunn was very gentle, nearly coaxing Calvin Marshall. "Sir and madam know you’ve brought a friend to stay over; they specially prepared breakfast, and madam herself cooked."

Bella Woods opened her eyes just in time to hear this.

Calvin Marshall also sat up, complaining, "How long has it been since my mom cooked? I used to beg her to make something for me, and she wouldn’t. Now that Little Bella is here, she cooks."

Aunt Dunn smiled but didn’t respond, instead preparing clothes for Calvin Marshall and Bella Woods and placing them nearby.

"Miss Sixty, Miss Woods, here are the fresh clothes for you. Once you’re ready, come down and have breakfast; I won’t disturb you here."

"Thank you," Bella Woods replied politely.

Calvin Marshall flopped back down.

Bella Woods tugged at her, "Get up, your parents are waiting downstairs for breakfast, don’t make them wait too long."

"You go wash up first, I..." Calvin Marshall rolled over, too sleepy, "I’ll just sleep a little longer. Tell me when you’re done."

Bella Woods didn’t force her and went to the bathroom to wash up.

The Marshall Family had prepared Calvin Marshall’s clothes for her. Bella Woods and Calvin Marshall were around the same age and had similar figures, so the loose sporty style clothes fit well.

After getting ready, she called Calvin Marshall several times before she reluctantly got up and sorted herself out.

Then the two of them went downstairs together.

Bella Woods hadn’t expected to see not only Calvin Marshall’s parents but also Ashton Marshall at the breakfast table.

As they came downstairs, Ashton Marshall was chatting with Calvin’s father.

Calvin Marshall got scared and hid behind Bella Woods.

"Calvin, why are you hiding? Go say hello to your third brother," Calvin’s father sternly reminded her.

"What do I do, what do I do; he’s definitely here to settle scores with me." Calvin Marshall mumbled, hiding behind Bella Woods.

Bella Woods pulled her over, "It’s okay, I’m here. He won’t do anything to you."

"Really?" Calvin Marshall still seemed scared.

Bella Woods nodded reassuringly, "Yes, nothing to worry about."

She wasn’t entirely convinced in her heart.

But since they were at Calvin Marshall’s place and Ashton Marshall had come over, Calvin had to be at the forefront, and she could only follow alongside.

"I heard last night that Sixty brought a friend over."

Calvin’s mother, much like Cyan Marshall, was a gentle and elegant lady, delightfully eyeing Bella Woods.

"It’s the first time I’ve seen Sixty bring a friend home; she’s really pretty." May Woods couldn’t help but marvel, looking at Bella Woods with happy eyes.

"However, it was too late when you arrived last night, so I didn’t disturb you. To express a warm welcome this morning, I specifically prepared a big breakfast, come on over."

May Woods pulled Bella Woods to the table, "Sit next to the Third Young Master, is that okay?"

Bella Woods maintained a polite smile, "I’m fine with anything, Auntie, you’re being too kind, I’m a bit embarrassed."

"I just find you so adorable, I like you a lot, so well-behaved."

While arranging Bella Woods’ seat and sitting next to her husband, May Woods couldn’t help but sigh, "When I was pregnant, I always wished for such a well-behaved daughter. Who would’ve thought..."

She glanced at Calvin Marshall disdainfully, "I gave birth to a little troublemaker."

"Mommy, I don’t like it when you say that. So what if I’m a little troublemaker, I’m still your daughter, and this little troublemaker brought you a cute little friend.

You should thank the little troublemaker; if you want to see the cutie in the future, you’ll need the little troublemaker to bring them over."

"Yes, yes, you’re the best, now hurry up and eat, little troublemaker," May Woods helplessly dished some food for Calvin Marshall, trying to stop her chatter.

Meanwhile, May Woods also put a lot of food on Bella Woods’ plate.

"Little Bella, try it out and see if you like it. If not, I can have the kitchen prepare something else," May Woods cheerfully said.

Bella Woods had been watching the interaction between May Woods and Calvin with envy, and now she smiled sweetly, "No, I like it very much, Auntie, these breakfast items look very appetizing. I’ll eat a lot today, I hope you and Uncle don’t mind."

"How could we? We’d be happier," Calvin’s father spoke up.

Bella Woods happily ate the breakfast on her plate.

At this moment, her plate suddenly gained an additional sandwich.

Bella Woods was momentarily stunned and then saw Ashton Marshall removing a disposable mask; clearly, this sandwich was made by him.

"No tomatoes, I put minced meat and lettuce in it; you’ll like it," Ashton Marshall said indifferently.

Bella Woods was a bit taken aback, instinctively glancing at Calvin’s parents, feeling nervous since Ashton Marshall’s actions seemed slightly inappropriate.

As it turned out, Bella Woods noticed that Calvin’s parents were paying no attention to what was happening on their side.

Meanwhile, Calvin Marshall winked mysteriously at Bella Woods and then continued eating.

Ashton Marshall leaned over to whisper in Bella Woods’ ear, "They asked me why I suddenly came over, do you know what I said?"

Bella Woods looked at Ashton Marshall with puzzlement.

Ashton Marshall smirked, "I said, my girlfriend was lured over by Calvin Marshall, so I came to get her..."

’Clang’

Bella Woods abruptly stood up, and the fork on her plate fell straight to the ground!
