There He Is Again, My Ex-Husband (Julian and Amelia)

Chapter 1204 She Provokes a Somebody

Bella glanced at him with surprise, only feeling that it was weird that he talked about this with her, as

they didn't seem quite acquainted with each other.

She didn't grow up in Riverside City, as her parents, Arthur and Jean, lived in Zoshalor for a long time.

She only lived in her grandparents' house in Riverside City when she was on holiday. It was only during

holidays that she would get together with Benedict, Alana, and the rest.

In eighth grade, she moved back to Riverside City with her parents. Her grandfather died that year, so

her grandmother suggested that her parents should move back to Riverside City. It would be bad for

the couple to live in Zoshalor all the time without taking care of Arthur's parents in Riverside City.

Thus, she and her grandmother came to Riverside City with her parents. But at that time, Alana, Alaric

as well as Benedict, were all in high school and about to take part in college admission tests, so they

didn't have much time to get out together.

Later, when Alana and others finished their examination, Bella and Christina were in high school. With

academic pressure, she only met her peers on holidays.

In addition, due to the gender gap, she was close to Alana and Christina and had little interaction with

boys. Likewise, those boys often played ball, and games, and had fun together without involving the

girls.

So, she wasn't quite acquainted with Benedict who gave her the impression that he, as the eldest kid

among them, was unapproachable.

In her eyes, he had always behaved in a mature manner. Moreover, he was outstanding in all aspects

such as academic ability, and was a boy wonder that everyone praised.

But her surprise did not distract her from what she was about to say.

She spoke after a moment of deliberation, "Well ... what I'm going to say may be a bit unbelievable to

you, so if you can't accept it, just forget about it."

"Oh?" Benedict raised his eyebrows with slight confusion. What shocking words could she say to him?

As he stared at her with sharpness and hidden emotions in his eyes, Bella was somehow guilty. She

felt that the marriage of convenience that she was going to propose was an insult to him.

But there was no turning back.

She took a deep breath and said, "I don't know if you are in love with anyone now, and if you are,

please ignore my words as well."

"If you don't love anyone, I'd like to propose that we get married instead?"

Bella could see Benedict frown slightly after hearing those words. But she couldn't tell what kind of

emotions he had. Benedict was two years older than her, and seemed indifferent toward anything, so

Bella could not read his mind.

Then she hastily added, "That ... is a marriage of convenience. I think we are a good match in various

aspects, such as the family background. Besides, our parents have been friends for many years, and

we know each other's character very well. There will be no family conflicts if we get married."

As soon as Bella finished her words, she saw Benedict's face turn gloomy, which startled her.

The next second, Benedict moved closer to her with a sullen face. His long eyes were filled with

surging rage, "A marriage of convenience?"

"So, Bella, this is your view of marriage?"

"So, if I don't say yes, you'll go on to ask others?"

After growing up, Bella prided herself on being calm no matter what happened. However, when faced

with Benedict's unexpected anger, she was at a loss.

Scared by him, she only recovered herself after taking two steps back.

She stood still and tried to keep calm before saying, "Hey, why are you so scary? I already reminded Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

you beforehand. If you are unwilling, then forget it."

As she said this, Bella glanced at Benedict's expression, feeling that he got angry for no reason.

Moreover, she felt as if he would strangle her to death the next moment.

"I am scary? Heh." Benedict didn't care if she was scared or not. He took several steps closer until he

cornered her against a wall behind her. Then he leaned down slightly and sneered at her, "You caused

it."

Bella was even more confused.

Did she do anything wrong?

She just proposed a marriage of convenience, and if he was unwilling, forget it. Why was he angry?

If he was angry about it, he was too narrow-minded. Bella regretted it. She would not marry such an

intolerant man. She couldn't put up with a man who always got angry with her.

Thinking of this, she spoke, "Okay, forget it if you are unwilling. Just treat it as if I never said it."

She just wanted to leave here in a hurry and didn't want to speak to him anymore.

Bella was just about to leave when she was picked up by Benedict, "I didn't say I am unwilling, did I?"

He answered in a cold voice.

Bella was a bit confused, "Is it that you want to?"

But it didn't look like he was willing.

Benedict tightened his grip on her arm with his teeth gritted and said, "Yes, but we need to get a

marriage license tomorrow."

Bella opened her mouth wide in shock. She proposed it on a whim and never expected to get a

marriage license so soon. Although she had reached the legal age of marriage, she was only 21. Who

gets married at 21 nowadays?

She thought about any possibilities after she proposed it. If Benedict was unwilling, they could pretend

it never happened; if he was willing, they could tell their parents and get engaged first. Then she could

focus on studying medicine that she liked.

It would be nice to have a fiancé. Then she could save herself the hassle of finding a man to marry and

avoid being urged to get married.

She thought her proposal was quite crazy, but she didn't expect Benedict to be even crazier than her.

Not only did he agree to it, but he also asked to get a marriage license tomorrow.

Bella struggled, trying to pull back her arm that he was holding, "It's too soon."

With a little force, Benedict restrained her from struggling and pulled her into his arms, "You proposed

the marriage, and I've agreed, but you think it's too soon?"

"Bella, are you fooling me?"

"I didn't..." Bella's tone was a bit weak.

"Ah –"

In the next second, being picked up, she screamed in surprise.

"What are you doing?"

She asked in shock.

Benedict carried her and walked towards the car park, "Since we're getting married, let's make love, in

case you change your mind."

Bella was speechless

She regretted having provoked such a madman.

She even used to think that Benedict was calm, sensible, and gentlemanly, but he turned out to be a

madman!
