Felix took the towel and wiped off the sweat from his forehead before he grabbed the water and took a gulp, leaving with Ford.
Just as they got to the door, he was stopped by a tiny figure darting out suddenly.
"Felix, I have something to tell you."
Felix frowned at Bella, who appeared out of the blue.
Annoyance welled up inside him. But the next second, he remembered something and, for the first time, didn't ask her to leave right away.
Instead, he said in a low voice, "Come with me."
After that, he led the way to the lounge.
Standing behind Felix and watching his back, Bella bit her lower lip and caught up with him.
In the lounge...
The atmosphere was dead as usual. Felix sat in a leather armchair and watched the woman walking in with her head lowered.
Meanwhile, Ford left silently and closed the door for them.
Felix asked, "Go ahead. What is it?"
Before she could speak, Bella's eyes turned red.
She bit her lip and dropped her head, looking like an aggrieved girl who didn't dare to speak up for herself.
Any ordinary man would have sympathy for her at the sight of this.
But Felix was no ordinary man.
He was famous for his ruthlessness, and the one thing he hated the most was women's waterworks.
He did not want to listen anymore the minute he saw her tears.
He got straight to the point. "Get out if you have nothing to say. Nobody wants to see you cry like a baby."
He got up and strode towards the door after saying that.
Bella said instantly,
"Felix!"
She called him and looked up, tears streaming down her cheeks.
Her clothes fell off all of a sudden, her fair and naked body completely exposed to the air.
Felix looked back and froze as he saw her perfect body.
Instead of getting turned on as she had expected, his eyes darkened.
"What are you doing?"
Suddenly, Bella rushed forward and threw her arms around his slim waist.
"Felix, I love you more than anyone in this world. Do you know that? How could you be so ruthless and push me away? I've long considered myself your woman. Don't you get it?"
Felix's face darkened instantly.
He stormed, "Let go!"
However, the woman behind him didn't loosen her arms.
Instead, she held him tighter and complained tearfully, "Felix, just let me be your girlfriend. I don't need to be 'Mrs. Bissel', and I don't want anything else. All I want is to stay by your side. Even if I'm nobody, as long as I can see you every day and take care of you, that will be enough. I know you like me, right? Why don't you want me?"
Looking sullen, Felix lost all his patience in an instant and growled through his clenched teeth, "Bella Collins, I don't hit women, and I'll give you another chance. Let go!"
This time, Bella was decisive, and she yelled, "No!"
Just at this moment, the door of the lounge was pushed open.
Ella wheeled Queeny in, who was smiling.
Both of them were absolutely stunned to see what was happening in the lounge.
Meanwhile, Felix and Bella were also dumbfounded.
What followed was a shrill scream.
"Ah-!"
