Seeing her cry again, Bella patted the back of her hand.
"Aunt Rhodes, everything is in the past. I'm doing really well now, truly."
"Yes, yes, I know my Bella is exceptional." Aunt Rhodes finally smiled a little, "Bella, are you busy after returning home? Let's have a meal together tomorrow and catch up. I'll give you a warm welcome."
"That might not be possible." Bella replied, "It's Ethan's first performance today, I specifically took leave to come back, just for one day. I have to return to the set this afternoon."
"Filming a new movie?" Aunt Rhodes was stunned for a moment, then realized Bella's earlier words of coming back were just pleasantries.
She couldn't help but feel a bit of sadness in her heart.
Bella was worried that not contacting her would sadden her, so she had lied intentionally, hadn't she?
