"Ahem, well, I’m serious."

Dean’s cheeks flushed, fearing that Bella Green would assume he was hitting on her intentionally.

He genuinely felt she looked familiar but couldn’t quite place her.

Bella Green withdrew her gaze from Mason Bennett and said, "I’m serious too."

Seeing the girl’s smile, Dean’s cheeks went inexplicably red.

...

Looking at Dean, with his flushed face and innocent boyish demeanor, Nicholas Smith couldn’t bear to watch.

"This embarrassing guy, didn’t he claim to be a love expert? Say two words and his face turns red."

Hearing this, Mason became curious and wanted to see his buddy’s blushing face.

Seeing him raise his head, Joanne Jordan’s heart skipped a beat. She quickly moved, blocking Mason’s view, and smiled sweetly at him.

Mason’s expression instantly turned cold.

"Do you have ADHD?"

Twisting her body, she completely blocked him.

Joanne Jordan awkwardly chuckled, "No, no, it’s just Mason suddenly looked at me, and I felt a bit shy."

"When did I look at you?" Mason frowned.

Joanne: "..."

Due to her interruption, Mason lost interest in watching the commotion over by Dean and instead leaned back on the sofa, sipping red wine absentmindedly.

Seeing he wasn’t paying attention anymore, Joanne finally breathed a sigh of relief.

At the same time, she felt frustrated. Bella Green probably found out Mason was here, so she came running over.

Thinking about it, Joanne felt regretful for telling Bella earlier that she was having dinner with Mason tonight.

And now she’s shamelessly followed them here.

As she contemplated how to prevent the two from meeting.

Suddenly, Nicholas Smith spoke up.

"I remember now, isn’t she Bella Green, who’s been quite active online lately?"

The man looked enlightened, finally recalling why Bella Green looked familiar.

Upon hearing the name Bella Green, Mason, who had been indifferent and disinterested in anything, suddenly sat up straight, looking in that direction.

But Joanne conveniently blocked his view.

Mason’s brows furrowed slightly, and he stood up directly.

With one look, Mason’s expression instantly darkened.

Someone please tell him why his little sweetheart is here? And he wasn’t informed?

Mason looked at Dean Carter, who was flitting around Bella Green, and his expression grew colder and more sinister.

The sudden change in his expression left Nicholas Smith somewhat surprised and puzzled, following Mason’s gaze to look over.

Joanne sensed trouble and stood up as well.

And then Mason suddenly changed direction and walked toward them.

Joanne gritted her teeth hard.

She had come over proactively and spoken so much to him without a response.

Yet once he heard Bella Green’s name, he rushed over.

No, she couldn’t let Bella Green, that bitch, lure Mason away.

Someone like an unknown, unimportant actress isn’t worthy of Mason.

She wouldn’t even be worthy of carrying her shoes!

Joanne thought resentfully and quickened her pace to follow Mason.

Meanwhile, Mason was completely focused on his little sweetheart, not noticing Joanne tailing him closely.

At the same time, Bella Green noticed him too.

And then saw Joanne, who was just half a step away from Mason.

The girl’s almond-shaped eyes suddenly turned colder. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

Mason Bennett, you bastard!!
