Dump My Ex, Dive into Love with His Billionaire Uncle-Chapter 81 - She Is Not Anybodys Appendage Her Name Is

The nicotine scent dispersed, white smoke curling around.

“So, you’re deciding to take your little girlfriend to Oliver Hughes’ engagement party, to make it public?” Tim’s mention of ‘public’ implied that Ashton was serious about this girl, not just treating her as a plaything.

He trusted Ashton understood the meaning of his words.

However, Ashton didn’t respond directly and only said two words: “Little Bella.”

“What?” Tim didn’t understand.

“Her name, Little Bella.” Ashton put down the cigarette, reminding seriously: “Not little girlfriend.”

She’s Little Bella.

Not anyone’s accessory or any nickname that could replace her.

“Got it.” Tim had his answer, “So what does Little Bella like? I should prepare a meeting gift.”

Ashton didn’t reply, just smoked and looked at Bella sitting at the table.

By now, Bella had stopped eating, resting her head on her hand and watching the man on the balcony with a cheerful, content expression.

“Jewelry or handbags?” Tim speculated, “She probably doesn’t like those tacky things…”

“No, she loves those, jewelry, and bags.” Ashton interrupted Tim, “Make it limited edition, our Little Bella doesn’t want anything common.”

Tim: …

Ashton ended the call, finishing his cigarette.

He returned to the dining table.

Bella was resting her chin on her hands, still grinning.

Ashton ruffled her hair: “It wasn’t a work call, nor a woman. Just a male friend, more like someone I grew up with.”

“I didn’t even ask, why explain so clearly?” Bella’s eyes held a hint of guilt.

She was indeed curious about who he was talking to.

Worried it was an old wealthy client.

As Ashton walked in, Bella really wanted to ask, but rationality prevailed, restraining her because she thought such questions shouldn’t be asked in their relationship.

He was just accompanying her.

Their relationship still held transactional elements, making such girlfriend-boyfriend boundaries inappropriate to question.

“He asked me what gift to prepare for you.”

Ashton sat across from Bella, serving himself a bowl of soup.

“Huh?” Bella tilted her head, “Prepare a gift for me?”

“Yes, there will be an opportunity to meet later, and he wants to prepare a meeting gift for you in advance.”

“That, that’s unnecessary, right…”

“Why unnecessary?” Ashton looked at Bella.

Bella blinked: “I just think it’s not needed.”

“Why not needed?” Ashton continued questioning.

Bella couldn’t answer, because she didn’t know why it was necessary, naturally she couldn’t answer why it wasn’t.

After several seconds of silence, Ashton said: “Girls receiving gifts is nothing but normal. He just feels it’s polite to give you, there’s no unnecessary or necessary about it.

Just accept it, it’s your due.”

Bella’s eyelashes trembled slightly, sneaking glances at Ashton several times, wanting to say something but finding she didn’t know what to say in response.

“For these situations, no need to think about how to respond. With a sweeter tongue, you just say, it’s the thought that counts. If embarrassed, say ‘Thank this friend for me, treat him to a meal next time’.” Ashton fondly ruffled the back of Bella’s head, his voice gentle.

“I, I…” Bella was at a loss for words.

Ashton laughed: “Tell me, you’ve learned it.”

“I’ve learned it, Uncle.” Bella looked earnestly at Ashton: “Thank you.”

Thank you, for seeing through all my silent shyness and unease.

And thank you for still teaching me how to deal with it after seeing through me.

“Good girl.” Ashton pinched her cheek.

Chubby, cute, and felt nice to the touch.

Could be a little more plump.

With this thought, Ashton served Bella another bowl of soup.

“I already drank earlier, and I ate a lot while you were on the call…” Bella pleadingly looked at the extra bowl of soup, unable to suppress a satisfied burp.

“Soup doesn’t take up space.” Ashton reminded.

Bella glanced at him, eventually sighed, and obediently drank the soup.

Despite being full, she finished the bowl of soup to the last drop, finally unable to bear it, languishing on the sofa, just watching Ashton clean the kitchen.

This apartment was prepared by Jade Patel, originally for Rose Woods to use for college.

But because of the fallout with Oliver Hughes, Bella negotiated with Jade Patel to take it; during that time, Jade Patel always looked at her coldly.

Repeatedly saying she stole Rose’s things.

As a result, Bella even had a repulsion for this apartment, thinking about renting it out, and confirming a decision to study abroad then sell it.

Yet watching the man busy in the kitchen and feeling the light illuminating every corner of the apartment suffused her heart with warmth.

It seemed as if the spot in her heart long empty was suddenly filled.

The knot in her heart loosened, catching Bella by surprise.

Unable to resist, Bella got up, running over, hugging the man washing dishes from behind tightly.

Ashton paused his movements, then chuckled: “Weren’t you too full, needing to rest?”

“This is resting.”

Bella rubbed her face back and forth on the man’s bare back.

Ashton paused his dishwashing, his voice slightly husky: “Little Bella…”

“What?”

“If you’re full, would it feel uncomfortable to be nudged?”
