Mrs. Bennett noticed it was past eight and went straight to bed, and Bellamy Homes accompanied her upstairs.
Victor Bennett, however, couldn't sit still any longer. Seeing the two leave, he immediately dashed out too.
...
Bella Green sat on the sofa, constantly checking the time on her phone.
It was already ten o'clock, and Mason Bennett hadn't come back yet, nor was he answering the phone.
If Elliot Morris hadn't called to say that Mason was working, she would have thought that something might have happened to him.
Not until half past ten did the roar of a car come from outside the yard.
Bella immediately got up and walked out.
Seeing Mason's car, she finally breathed a sigh of relief and went over to meet him.
"Why so late?"
The girl's voice was full of pain and concern.
Mason paused as he closed the car door, looking at the girl who had run out in slippers, he pursed his lips slightly, his eyes deep.
After a moment's pause, he shut the car door, his voice hoarse.
