Chapter 2129
After dinner, Ben did not rush to take her home. Instead, he drove the car to a square and found a place to park.
"Why are we coming here?" Bella asked curiously.
"Take a walk." Ben said lazily.
"Oh." Bella looked at the plaza. She used to come here with her mother, but unfortunately, everything had changed.
They got out of the car and walked side by side along the garden road.
Streetlights spread forward one by one. Warm colored lights set off trees, flowers, and plants, creating a warm feeling. Many people brought their families here for a walk, enjoying the night breeze and night scenery.
Bella followed by Ben's side and walked forward step by step. People were very lazy. There were actually many people, but it wasn't crowded yet. Everyone was not in a hurry. Occasionally, children would squat down to see the flowers, and their families would follow them to bend down with a smile.
Looking at the people coming and going, Bella suddenly realized that it was as if only her own family was unhappy. Everyone was filled with delight here.
After Bella discovered this, her mood inexplicably fell.
Ben seemed to be walking forward, but he was always paying attention to the expression of the girl beside him. Seeing her lower her head, he immediately reached out to hold her hand and said, "What's wrong? Is there something unpleasant on your mind again?"
Bella felt that the man's palm was warm and hot, causing her heart to tremble. She shook her head and said, "No."
"Then why are you unhappy?" Ben saw that she was disguising herself and directly asked.
Bella could only tell the truth, "Perhaps, as you said, there are so many happy marriages, but my horizons are too narrow to discover them." Ben nodded, "Of course it is. You have lived in your own world all the time; then, how can you find out the happy one?"
Bella was stunned. Could it really be like this? That she lived in a very small circle?
"Isn't this Bella?" Suddenly, here came an aunt's voice.
Bella turned around and saw an aunt, her neighbor. She immediately walked over and greeted Bella warmly, "Bella, it's really you. Where did you and your mother move to? It's been a long time since I saw your mother last time."
Bella forced a smile, "My mother went back to my grandmother's house."
"So that's how it is. This is your boyfriend, isn't he? He's so handsome." Auntie looked at Ben with her presbyopia eyes open and thought that he was really a handsome young man.
Only then did Bella realize that her hand was still held by Ben's. And she abruptly pushed away the man's big palm and put her hands behind her back. "No, he's just my friend. Auntie, we go first. Goodbye."
Bella was like a guilty liar and she grabbed Ben's arm and quickly left.This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
The handsome man was a little unhappy. He could feel how she was anxious to get rid of him just now. Why? Did she hate him being her boyfriend?
After walking for a long time, Bella was still looking back at Auntie from time to time. Only when she realized that Auntie could no longer be seen did she let out a sigh of relief.
"What are you running for?" The man asked discontentedly.
"She's a famous gossip in our neighborhood. If she knew you were my boyfriend, she might say to others something unwell about me." Bella was a person who was afraid of trouble, so she really didn't want to be the gossip object of the aunts in her community.
"What are you afraid of? You didn't do anything wrong." Ben was even more unhappy. This woman dragged him along the way but it turned out that she was only worried about her reputation. Heh, it was her reputation that he was going to ruin.
Bella nodded and gasped, "Yes, I didn't do anything wrong, but ... Um."
Before Bella could breathe and finish her words, the man held her cheek directly kissing her.
Bella's eyes instantly widened. As soon as she could react, she pushed the man away at once, "Ben, what are you doing?"
Bella was scared half to death. Although they were hiding under the shadow of a tree, she was still scared.
Ben's thin lips curled into a wicked smile. "Are you afraid that she will see you? Then you're done. She must have seen everything."
"You..." Bella was completely speechless.
"There's nothing to worry about. Let's go." Seeing that she was so embarrassed and angry, Ben could only gently touch her long hair and said in a low voice.
"I'm not exaggerating things." Bella
anxiously defended herself, "You don't know that once there was a sister in our neighborhood who was seen by neighbor riding a man's car back and they said that she was a fancy woman of that man. Later, many people didn't want to introduce her to a blind date. A good fame may not be important to men, but it is of great significance to women."
This was the first time Ben had seen Bella so capable of speaking, but he had to say that she was like the real her when she was speaking endlessly.
Ben couldn't help but laugh, "Is it really that serious? Then are you worried that your reputation will be ruined and no one will come to find you for a blind date?"
Bella was shocked and she rolled her eyes at him angrily, "I won't go on a blind date. Besides, I don't live in that neighborhood anymore. They can't gossip about me."
"Isn't that enough? You already have me. Do you still need a blind date?" Ben instantly replied.
Bella paused and looked at him in disbelief, "Ben, do you really like me that much? What do I have to attract you?"
"I don't know." The man's answer made Bella feel even more puzzled.
"What do you mean by saying that you don't know? You like me, but you can't give a reason?" Bella couldn't help but laugh. But she was angered to laugh.
"That's right, I can't give a reason. I don't like others, and I just like you." Ben stared at her with a burning gaze, and his voice was much lower.
Bella was so enchanted by his gaze that she quickly turned hers away. "That's ridiculous. If I like you, I definitely have a reason."
"Really? Tell me your reason." Ben was delighted. She wasn't joking, was she?
"You're handsome, rich, successful

your heart is soft and

compassionate. Ben, you're really too perfect. I doubt if you really exist."After Bella finished speaking about his strengths, she realized that he didn't seem to have any weaknesses so far. Strange, everyone had them. How could he not have one?
"That's because you still don't understand me much." Ben almost burst into laughter. This fool, could one be so superficial when assessing others?
"I think I already know a little about you." Bella pouted.
"No, you probably don't know that I'm overbearing, harsh, and suspicious." Ben couldn't help but smile and pretended to be serious.
"Overbearing?" Bella blinked.
