Chapter 1038: Chapter 1038: Bella, Aren’t You Going to Introduce Us to Your Dad?

Matthew Lawrence slightly raised his head, meeting Mason Bennett’s gaze.

He had heard of Mason Bennett, who was one of the top in this generation.

But those were only rumors; now upon seeing him, he felt it even more deeply.

This younger member praised highly by outsiders was indeed exceptional.

His previously calm eyes grew more attentive.

Especially the pressure emanating from Mason Bennett; even he was greatly affected.

Matthew Lawrence’s gaze swept over the young couple, a flash of gloom flickering deep within his eyes.

The emotion was suppressed so deeply that it was undetectable.

"Bella, aren’t you going to introduce us to your father?" Matthew Lawrence smiled gently and kindly, looking at Bella Green with a doting gaze.

That word "father" made Mason Bennett’s brows pinch slightly; he lowered his eyes to look at Bella Green, an inquiry in his gaze.

Bella Green bit her lip, her expression not looking too good.

She wasn’t used to it, not used to Matthew Lawrence claiming as such.

Being called such by someone she’d known for less than half an hour, anyone would find it hard to adjust.

Even if she might truly share the blood of the man before her, she couldn’t adapt to this suddenly presented close kin.

Confusion and helplessness filled the girl’s eyes, as if unsure how to handle this relationship.

Before, she could manage things on her own, but upon seeing Mason Bennett, she wanted to abandon all concerns.

She just wanted to hide vulnerably under his wings, like an ostrich.

How could Mason Bennett not discern the thoughts in the girl’s heart?

Yet the clearer they were, the more heartache it brought him.

He knew how important family was to Bella Green.

She had been deeply hurt by the Green Family, later thinking Michael Green and his wife were her real parents.

She was happy, because that couple treated her genuinely well.

Even if they had sent her to the Green Family initially, then faked their deaths to deceive her, she could choose to forgive after venting all her anger.

But after such a long journey, she discovered that Michael Green and his wife were not her real parents either.

And now, a stranger suddenly appeared, claiming to be her father.

Even with Bella Green’s strength, she’d be caught off guard by this suddenly appeared father.

She might never easily trust this so-called kin again.

His Bella, so yearning for family, yet repeatedly hurt by them.

How could she open her heart to face this again?

Mason Bennett abruptly raised his hand, drawing her into his embrace, his gaze towards Matthew Lawrence growing sharp and cold.

"Whether Mr. Lawrence is Bella’s father remains to be confirmed, and if so, I will certainly visit myself."

Mason Bennett’s voice was icy, offering Matthew Lawrence no face.

"It seems Mr. Lawrence is done talking with Bella; let’s not disturb further."

With that, without regard for Matthew Lawrence’s response, he held Bella Green and started to walk out.

Once outside, Bella Green saw Elliot Morris at the door confronting several bodyguards.

It was only then she realized Elliot Morris had actually come too.

Seeing the two emerging, Elliot Morris hurried forward.

"Miss Green, are you alright?" 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

The concern in his voice brought a smile to Bella Green’s face, as she shook her head: "I’m fine."

Mason Bennett, expressionless, pulled Bella Green to his car, opened the door for her, and then got in, starting the car directly, speeding away from the manor.

Elliot Morris paused momentarily, then looked at Leo Foster’s car, walked over, and seeing the keys inside, breathed a sigh of relief.
