After washing his hands, he wiped the other places that had been stained as well.Throughout this series of actions, Mason remained silent.
A trace of concern flashed in Bella Green’s eyes, and she asked softly.
"What’s wrong with you? Is work not going well?"
Since coming back today, Mason had been acting a little off.
But she couldn’t quite pinpoint why.
Looking at the girl’s worried face, Mason chuckled softly, leaned down, and kissed the corner of her lips, his voice returning to its usual gentleness.
"No, I just missed you."
Mason pulled her onto his lap, burying his forehead in her neck, nuzzling continuously.
The short hair tickled Bella Green slightly, causing her to laugh and try to dodge.
Seeing this, Mason’s smile deepened, and he lowered his head, trying to tickle Bella Green again.
The girl laughed loudly, trying to evade continuously.
Yet she could not escape the man.
Playing until they were tired, and having had enough fun,
Mason held Bella Green and carried her into the bathroom.
After the bath, Bella Green lay on the bed and fell asleep almost immediately.
She truly was tired today, and coupled with the recent activity, she became even more exhausted.
In less than five minutes, soft snores began, adorably so.
Watching the girl sleeping soundly, with her cherry-colored lips slightly pouty,
Mason felt his heart melt, his eyebrows and eyes softening even more.
After a moment of silence, he stood up, walked to the wardrobe, and took out a set of pajamas to put on.
Then, he grabbed an overcoat nearby, draping it over himself, and walked straight out the door.
In front of the Bennett Family’s villa, there was a small creek.
It was deep winter, the creek’s water already frozen into ice, the trees barren, the scenery really couldn’t be called pretty.
On a nearby rattan chair, the man leaned back against it, gazing at the pitch-black sky.
The night sky was moonless, only a sparse scattering of stars flickered in the sky.
Mason raised his hand to pick up the glass of wine on the table beside him, taking a light sip of the drink.
The vodka’s strong intensity stung his throat and stomach.
For Mason, who rarely drank such strong liquor, his eyebrows furrowed slightly for a moment, then smoothed out again as he downed a large gulp.
Having not eaten anything tonight, at this moment Mason only felt his stomach burning, painfully ablaze.
The man’s face grew a shade paler, but his hands didn’t stop, pouring another glass and gulping it down.
This time, it choked him into a few coughs, with his stomach burning even more painfully.
The cold was gone, but the burning pain in his stomach made a thin layer of sweat appear on his forehead.
Mason picked up the phone beside him, his eyes gradually turning cold, his gaze seeming to hold fragments of ice.
He raised his hand and dialed a number; in just two seconds, it connected.
The other side didn’t speak, but the clear sound of breathing let him know they were listening.
"Tomorrow, meet at the cafe across from Nathan Bennett’s place."
The man’s voice contained not a trace of warmth, saying coldly before hanging up the phone, not giving the other any chance to speak.
After hanging up, Mason sat for a little while longer before turning back into the villa.
Upstairs, he stood by the bedroom door for a long time, not entering until all the cold left his body.
Watching the girl sleeping soundly on the bed, Mason’s eyebrows and eyes gradually softened.
Gently getting onto the bed, Mason wrapped Bella Green lightly in his arms, planting a kiss on her forehead.
Then, holding the girl, he drifted into his own dreams...
He had initially questioned if the night was destined to be sleepless.
But whether it was the alcohol or the softness and sweetness of the girl in his arms, he surprisingly slept very deeply.
All the things to face tomorrow, he threw to the back of his mind, choosing not to worry...
