I tried to keep calm, because resentment couldn't solve the problem.
I just wanted to quietly send my mom away. I had decided not to get involved in Bella's life anymore.
"You misunderstood. The company's money is also your money. You can do whatever you want with it."
Bella was stunned. This was the first time I didn't stop her, didn't consider the company, and didn't entangle her.
Yes, even I felt unfamiliar with this version of myself.
"What do you mean, James?" Bella crossed her arms and stared at me coldly.
"Can you give me the smallest one, Ms. Evans?" In front of others, I would address her Ms. Evans. She was afraid that others would know about our relationship and kept a distance from me in front of others.
I would do as she wished, from now on, I would only address her as Ms. Evans, decent and respectful.
"Bella, since James needs it, give it to him. Don't consider me. Bell will understand in heaven."
Holden's beloved dog was called Bell. Bella thought the name sounded good and enjoyed it.
After listening to Holden's words, I felt nauseous.
