Dump My Ex, Dive into Love with His Billionaire Uncle-Chapter 130 - : Baby, will you buy me a cup?
Chapter 130 -130: Baby, will you buy me a cup?
Running into Cyan Marshall like this was completely unexpected for Bella Woods.
She turned her head and saw Ashton Marshall gesturing with his phone to Bella Woods that he was stepping aside to take a call.
“Bella?”
Cyan Marshall saw Bella Woods and walked out of the shop, “Out shopping?”
Bella Woods withdrew her gaze from Ashton Marshall and smiled at Cyan Marshall, “Yeah. I met a new classmate who invited me to her birthday party tonight, so I came to see if I could pick out something nice.”
“A female classmate?” Cyan Marshall seemed pleasantly surprised.
Bella Woods nodded, “I ran into her yesterday while playing with Sixty. She said we had a lot in common and invited me to join for some fun.”
“That’s great. I wanted to take you to small gatherings before, but you seemed to resist, so I didn’t arrange any,” Cyan Marshall looked at Bella Woods with a gentle gaze.
She could clearly feel Bella Woods had changed a lot since that engagement party with Oliver Hughes.
Cyan Marshall liked this change.
Still obedient like before, but with more brightness.
To Cyan Marshall, she truly felt sorry for Bella Woods and also felt Oliver Hughes was different with Bella Woods, so she intended to complete Oliver Hughes’ wish and make Bella Woods the Young Mistress of the Hughes Family.
Cyan Marshall just hoped Oliver Hughes would live up to expectations.
If there weren’t any twists at the engagement party, once Bella Woods reached legal age, Oliver Hughes could marry her into the Hughes Family, and she could naturally step into the role of Bella Woods’ mother and cherish this girl as she deserved.
Alas…
“Did you come alone? Shall I accompany you?” Cyan Marshall inquired.
“I…” Bella Woods thought of Ashton Marshall and felt a bit pressured, “I came with a friend.”
Cyan Marshall smiled in understanding, “Then Aunt Cyan won’t disturb you and your friend.”
After speaking, Cyan Marshall added, “Make sure to schedule some time for Aunt Cyan, or come home to have a meal with me. Don’t let Aunt Cyan always worry about you, okay?”
“I will. It’s my fault for not reaching out to you sooner,” Bella Woods smiled, “I should have invited Aunt Cyan out for shopping with me.”
Cyan Marshall didn’t say much more, just touched Bella Woods’ face.
Meanwhile, the female bodyguard accompanying Cyan Marshall whispered something in her ear.
Cyan Marshall nodded gravely, then gently said to Bella Woods, “Aunt Cyan has some matters to attend to, so I’ll go handle them first.”
“Okay, I’ll schedule a time for Aunt Cyan to come to my place for dinner,” Bella Woods added, “It’s my school place, just me, and I’ll cook for you then.”
“Then Aunt Cyan has to bring your Uncle Hughes.”
“If Uncle Hughes can come, I’d be more than happy,” Bella Woods quickly said.
Cyan Marshall couldn’t help but touch Bella Woods’ face again, then left with her bodyguard without saying anything more.
But at the elevator doors, Cyan Marshall glanced back and saw a masked man had appeared next to Bella Woods.
The man was tall with long legs, exuding an air of nobility and arrogance, clearly someone of high standing.
Cyan Marshall found him very familiar.
Her brows knitted frequently, and as she entered the elevator, she said to her bodyguard, “How’s the investigation I asked for going?”
“I’m sorry, ma’am. We’ve been very careful in investigating this issue. But we were still discovered by Third Young Master’s people.”
Cyan Marshall sighed.
Although no real evidence was uncovered, Cyan Marshall had some conclusions internally that felt absurd and incomprehensible to her.
On the other side.
After Cyan Marshall left, Ashton Marshall walked over to Bella Woods.
Bella Woods couldn’t help but glance at Ashton Marshall, “Was it a work call?”
Ashton Marshall was quite surprised, “It’s the first time you’ve shown interest in my calls.”
“I was just asking,” Bella Woods averted her gaze.
She merely thought it was a coincidence that Ashton Marshall happened to avoid Cyan Marshall by making a call.
When Cyan Marshall left, Ashton Marshall immediately returned.
The timing made Bella Woods feel that Ashton Marshall deliberately avoided Cyan Marshall.
He also didn’t want their relationship to be known by outsiders.
After all, it was just a game.
“That call just now was…”
“How about gifting a mug?” Bella Woods interrupted Ashton Marshall, “Jewelry and whatnot might be not to her taste. The brand store up ahead has some nice options, and a unique mug could be quite special.”
With that, Bella Woods pulled Ashton Marshall towards the mug shop in front.
The shop assistant enthusiastically greeted them as they arrived, “Are you here to look at mugs? Our store has just launched a new couple set. Would you like to take a look?”
“We’re looking to pick a mug as a gift,” Bella Woods declined the assistant’s proposal.
“Is it for a lady?” the assistant asked.
“Yes, it’s for someone around my age and who is pretty cute,” Bella Woods explained simply.
The assistant led Bella Woods to another area to choose mugs.
Initially, Ashton Marshall followed Bella Woods, but after Bella looked at a few mugs and turned around, she couldn’t find Ashton Marshall anywhere.
Bella Woods searched around but couldn’t find him, so she continued to pick out mugs on her own.
She eventually chose a pink and black graffiti mug for Tessa Sutton.
While at the checkout, a pair of black and white mugs suddenly appeared before Bella Woods.
As she raised her head, she met Ashton Marshall’s teasing eyes, “Baby, buy this for me.”
His call made Bella Woods’ eyes widen instantly.
The nearby shop assistants all widened their eyes, and some covered their faces, squealing in excitement.
Bella Woods blinked and tugged at Ashton Marshall, lowering her voice, “What are you doing?”
As Ashton Marshall bent down, he naturally embraced Bella Woods, “I’ve been looking for a while; we can place these mugs in our new home, hmm?”
“Pick another one.”
Ashton Marshall seemed to suddenly remember something, “Wait here for me.”

He turned towards the shelf holding couple mugs, and within a few minutes, came back with another pair of couple mugs and placed them on the table, then stared intently at Bella Woods.
Bella Woods was left a bit at a loss by his actions.
If he was still the beautiful male prostitute in her mind, this would have felt perfectly fitting.
But he was Ashton Marshall.
The one standing at the top of this city, revered like a Divine Residence, respected and feared by many.
Yet his immaturity did nothing to undermine his identity and age.
Bella Woods even felt like Ashton Marshall was the eighteen-year-old, not her.
“Baby?” Ashton Marshall asked when Bella Woods remained silent, “Won’t you buy it for me?”
“Miss, you should hurry up and buy it for your boyfriend,” the assistant couldn’t help but urge, “I’ll give you a discount, using my employee discount.”
“And mine too, mine can stack,” another assistant quickly added, “Miss, if you don’t buy it for your boyfriend, I feel like my heart will break.”
“You two are really sweet.”
“Your boyfriend is really dependent on you, miss.”
