My Ex, Please Love Me Again

But for Benedict’s crazy words, he didn’t do something out of place. After stuffing her into his car, he drove away, but the destination was not his home or hotel but the beach.

It could be imagined how cold it was on the beach in the dead of winter. As soon as Bella got out of the car, she was trembling with cold.

She couldn’t help but wrap her coat tightly around herself, gritting her teeth and glaring at the man in front of her and asking, “Benedict, what’s wrong with you?”

She had always prided herself on her composure, but she began to curse him in her mind at the moment.

Benedict was initially standing on the beach, gazing at the seemingly calm but actually turbulent sea in front of him. Upon hearing this, he couldn’t refrain from turning his head to look at her and chuckled, “I bring you here for a cold breeze to calm you down.”

Although he chuckled, there was no trace of a smile on his handsome face.

Bella put on a wry smile and replied, “Well, I’ve calmed down well and completely and I decide to take back my proposal. And I sincerely apologize if it has troubled you.”

“Now, may I leave?”

She was really going to freeze to death.

Though he said that he was trying to calm her down in the cold wind, she believed he was trying to freeze her to death.

Even if she had offended him by mentioning the marriage of convenience, he didn’t have to do this to torture her, did he?

She had really misjudged him and would keep as far away from him as she could in the future.

Sensing that she was about to leave, he strode toward her and gazed at her with a solemn expression, “Bella, let me state again that I agree with the marriage. What you need to consider now is the way to get married.”

“Let’s get the marriage license tomorrow. So should we get the license tomorrow without telling our parents? Or should we tell them right now and get it tomorrow?”

Bella was very sober now. Therefore, she could tell that he was not joking about it.

But after realizing this, she became troubled again.

How could she deal with the challenge of getting a marriage license?

After all, she hadn’t thought about getting it right now. What she thought was to get engaged first and got a marriage license when she was urged by her parents.

Just as she was racking her brains, Benedict’s phone rang.

It was from Alaric, who asked on the phone, “Where are you chatting with Bella? Why haven’t you come back? Are we still going to have this dinner tonight?”

Benedict replied, “We have something to do. We won’t return. You should start eating.”

On the phone, Alaric screamed, “Damn it, you two are not in love secretly, are you?”

“We’ll talk about it later,” Benedict replied to Alaric and hung up the phone. He couldn’t explain his relationship with Bella in a few words. After all, he didn’t anticipate Bella would ask him to discuss such an exciting topic.

Besides, he didn’t want anyone to know that Bella decided to be with him just for a marriage of convenience.

“Have you got any idea?” Benedict hung up the phone, looked at Bella, and asked this.

Bella simply gave up, “No.”

She was unwilling to hide it from her parents if she and Benedict had to get a marriage license. But she didn’t know how to explain to her parents about their affair. If she said that she proposed the marriage to Benedict, her parents would be furious.

“Since you haven’t decided, then follow my advice,” Benedict said.

Bella was stunned. Did he already come up with a plan?

Benedict perceived her suspicion. He said lightly, “Just tell our parents that we really love each other and have decided to be together for the rest of our lives, and ask them to agree to our marriage.”Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

Bella’s eyes grew wide in shock, “We love each other?”

It could not hold water.

They hadn’t interacted much before this, except for the party time when they would eat and drink together.

Besides, their parents were all extremely shrewd. Could they believe their clumsy lie?

“Previously, we were secretly in love with each other, but none of us had ever shown it. Tonight, we saw Jamarion and Alana work it out. So we tested each other and found that we were in love, and immediately decided to get married and be with us for long.”

Benedict gave a detailed statement. This time, Bella felt that it was credible. But it was a bit hard for her to tell a lie since she never had a crush on Benedict.

But Benedict didn’t give her time to hesitate. He grabbed her hand and pushed her into the car, “It’s settled. Let’s talk about other things on the way.”

“Hey, hey…” Before she could protest, she was shoved into the car.

Benedict then sat in the driver’s seat and took out his mobile phone, intending to call his parents and ask them to rush to Arthur’s and Jean’s home.

Bella pressed his hand. Benedict’s fingers were long and slender, while Bella’s palm was soft and delicate. Benedict raised his eyebrows and stared at Bella, who seemed restless.

Her face was as beautiful as ever. Different from her usual coolness, she looked much more alive at this moment.

He liked seeing her indifferent look as well as her vivid facial expressions

But before, he could just see her vivid expressions at parties, when she was chatting happily with Alana and Christina. From now on, he could see her smiling at any time.

Her proposal tonight was a great relief for him, allowing him to get what he had yearned for.

Bella pressed Benedict’s hand hard and asked him again, “Benedict, are you sure you want to marry me now?”

“Don’t you wait a few more years to see if you’ll meet another girl you love?”

“After all, marriage is an important event in life. I hope you can consider it carefully and without against your heart.”

Bella admitted that her words at the moment contradicted her suggestion, but she meant it.

“I’m sure,” Benedict replied without any hesitation. Bella pressed her lips, made up her mind, released her grip on his hand, and said, “Let’s go back to tell our parents.”

Benedict’s eyes fixed on her determined expression for a while before he started the car and drove away.

The two called their parents on the way. Benedict asked Ezra and Maisie to rush to the Hudgens’, while Bella only told her parents that she had something important to tell them.

On the way, the two said nothing more. Bella leaned back in the car seat and looked at the scenery outside, feeling that she was unable to describe the mixed emotions inside and deciding to let it be.

On the contrary, Benedict drove the car steadily with his eyes firmly fixed on the road ahead. If one looked closely, one could notice a smile lift the corner of Benedict’s mouth.
