Free Web NovelChapter 1158: Chapter 1158: These Two Words Marked the Beginning of Her Sin
But there was one thing she was already certain of.
And that was, Mason and Xylia were truly a couple.
In Xylia’s words, they hadn’t even really said they were breaking up until now.
Bella Green thought and thought, then began to laugh.
Laughing and laughing, tears came amid the laughter...
In the end, tears covered her cheeks.
Unable to bear it any longer, Bella Green began to weep bitterly by the deserted riverside.
Her heart felt as if it had been ruthlessly torn apart, the pain was unbearable.
She didn’t know why Mason, while being with Xylia, still wanted to marry her.
But she could not deny that she was now the third party.
The third party standing between Mason and Xylia.
To say it even worse, she was a mistress...
Bella Green trembled as she took out her phone; numbed by alcohol, she acted more recklessly.
Bella Green dialed Mason’s number; she needed to find out. No matter what, she needed to find out.
Why did he, having Xylia, still come to entangle her?
The call was answered quickly, and she heard the gentle and soothing voice of the man on the other end.
Bella Green’s heart became even more sour.
"Mason, eight years ago, where were you?"
She still couldn’t bring herself to directly inquire about his relationship with Xylia...
Meanwhile, at Fragrant Forest Riverside Villa.
In the warm-toned, cozy living room, Mason Bennett’s gentle expression instantly changed upon hearing those words.
His pupils constricted violently in panic.
One could say that in his life, Mason Bennett could remain as steady as a mountain, fearless in any situation.
Except when facing Bella Green, he couldn’t stay so calm and composed.
Especially because, in this matter, he was indeed at fault.
Tonight, Bella Green’s behavior made him gradually relax, believing Xylia would be smart enough not to say anything.
Temporary trip to Cloudfall Mountain showed no sign of peculiarity from Bella Green.
So he was able to return to Brocade City with peace of mind.
But at this moment, Bella Green’s question almost stopped his breathing.
Unprecedented panic and fear spread in his heart.
"Eight years ago, I was in M Country, what’s wrong? Why the sudden question?"
Mason Bennett tried to keep his voice sounding relatively steady.
He didn’t lie; he didn’t deceive Bella Green.
Because in his memory, eight years ago, he was indeed in M Country.
However, memories of that year were somewhat vague, he didn’t remember them clearly.
But undeniably, he was indeed in M Country that year.
Bella Green listened to this answer, feeling slightly dazed.
Even knowing the truth of the words was questionable, she couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief.
"Really?"
The girl’s hand holding the phone trembled, her voice quivered.
That tear-stained face slowly wore a hint of a smile.
Even knowing what Mason Bennett said wasn’t true, she still wanted to believe it, what could she do?
"Really?"
Mason Bennett’s lips pulled into a forced smile, his voice low and hoarse.
"Really!"
Bella Green’s smile grew brighter, but tears flowed like a severed string, unstoppable.
She knew those two words, "really," marked the beginning of her guilt.
Even though she had already learned the truth from Victor and Xylia.
Even though her heart knew keenly that what Mason Bennett said wasn’t true.
Still, she wanted to believe, to believe in the man who had rooted himself in her heart.
Even if it was all wrong, she was willing to become the one society scorned.
Simply because she could no longer let go...
