Let Me Go, My Mafia Husband (Aria and Alessandro) novel Chapter 480

Chapter 480 A New Beginning Ⅰ

Bella's POV.

The sound of my phone jolted me awake from my slumber, disturbing the peaceful moment I had been sharing with Ryder. Gently, I disentangled myself from his embrace, aware that I was still unclothed, and hurriedly pulled the sheet to cover myself before answering the call.

"Mum!" I greeted cheerfully, my heart still elated from Ryder's heartfelt confession of love.

"Bella, what is going on?" Her voice carried a tone of anger.

Confused by her question, I asked, "What do you mean, mum?"

"You and Ryder are all over the news, and your father is furious," she complained.

My mind raced, trying to comprehend the situation. "What? I don't understand, mum. What's happening?"

"Where are you right now, Bella?" Her concern was evident. "I am... I am..." I hesitated, unable to come up with a lie.

"Are you with Ryder?" She guessed, and I fell silent, confirming her suspicion.

"Why did you do this, Bella?" Her disappointment in me was palpable.

Suddenly, the phone was snatched from my hand, and Ryder took the call.

"Aunt Jenna! Ryder speaking. I understand..." He began, pausing to listen to my mother's response.

"Don't worry. We're heading over there to explain everything," he reassured, pausing briefly to listen to my mom's words.

"I know Uncle is angry, but I'll convince him. Believe me," he said with determination, listening intently to my mother's response.

"Okay, bye, Aunt Jenna," he said, ending the call before turning his attention towards me.

"What about the news?" I anxiously inquired.
