My Quick-witted Baby (Arabella and Kenneth)

Chapter

26

Soon, the phone was answered. Melvin handed the phone to Arabella, and Arabella put it on her ear. The next second, she heard Janelle's familiar voice. "Hello? Hello? Mr. Spencer? Why don't you say anything... When can I see Ms. Snyder..."

Janelle had always called Arabella's mother Ms. Lynch and called Arabella Ms. Snyder. Ten years had passed and Arabella had already grown up, but Janelle still called her in the same way. The rims of Arabella's eyes were red with tears instantly. Everyone had changed, but Janelle, who loved her all the time, hadn't changed at all. "Hey, Janelle, it's me! Arabella!"

"Ms. Snyder? Is that really you?" Then Janelle coughed violently at the other end of the phone.

Immediately, Arabella knew that Janelle had suffered a lot in the past few years and was badly ill, like she was dying now.

Arabella held the phone tightly and said nervously, "Janelle, what..."

However, before she could finish her words, Melvin directly snatched the phone and hung up. "Now you should know that I didn't lie to you!"

Then, Melvin slowly walked toward Arabella.

Arabella took a step back and snapped, "Don't come any closer! The deal between us was that I would only have sex with you if you let me see Janelle."

Melvin frowned. His face darkened. "Arabella, I think you're missing the point! Now it's you who are begging me to free Janelle!"

"You're the one who didn't get it right, Melvin! Don't forget! It's you who want me!"

"Arabella, you're so confident!"

Arabella sneered. "You were with Leia last night, right? And you called me late at night and asked me to come and have sex with you tonight. Look at your lustful face! That's exactly why I'm so confident." Melvin's face darkened. His mouth tightened into a thin line.

Arabella took her bag and was about to leave. "I should go now! We'll continue the deal when you bring Janelle to me."

"Arabella, don't push me!" Melvin went to stop her.

But Arabella had already known what he was going to do. She smashed the bag in her hand into Melvin's handsome face and shouted, "Melvin! You're pushing me! Ten years ago, you testified against me and let me be judged by everyone, and now, you used Janelle to force me to have sex with you. How can you face my mother after you did all these to me? You didn't deserve her love and her trust for you. You're no longer the Melvin I have known before!"

Melvin froze in place for a moment.

Red-rimmed, Arabella stared at him with anger burning in her eyes, like an angry beast.

After a while, Melvin came forward and reached out to grab Arabella's shoulders. "You still don't want to have sex with me, do you? Why? Why can you have sex with other men, but not with me?" Looking at his paranoid look, Arabella didn't retort to what he said. She just asked with a calm look, "When did you know I was with another man?"

Melvin didn't want to talk about that. He grabbed Arabella's shoulders tightly. Blue veins stood out on his hands. "You knew what happened that winter! I went to the country to look for you at that time. You didn' come back home overnight, and I looked for you the whole night. I almost went crazy at that time. In the end, Leia told me that you spent all night with a man in the cave! When I rushed over there, you two were still sleeping together!"

Arabella finally knew why Melvin said she was an unchaste woman. In that winter, she had saved a man in the snow.

The man was unconscious at that time, and the road was blocked due to the heavy snow, so she couldn't return home. Therefore, she carried the unconscious into a cave and spent the night there, but nothing ever happened that night.

However, Leia told Melvin that she had sex with that man, and Melvin just believed it.

Arabella suddenly laughed out loud till she had tears in her eyes..

"What are you laughing at?" Melvin asked.

Arabella pushed him away heavily and then picked up the bag on the carpet. "Nothing! As I just said, the deal will continue only when I see Janelle. Think about it!" Then Arabella left.

Arabella got back to Floweret Garden when Aurora sent her a message on Line. "Melvin is really an idiot! You were just a little girl at that time! How could he just believe such a disgusting lie? But Bella, do you still remember the man you saved?"
