Dump My Ex, Dive into Love with His Billionaire Uncle

Chapter 131: Chapter 131: The Big CEO, He Is a Spoiled Brat

Bella Woods was still in a daze when she and Ashton Marshall left the cup store.

She had bought five cups at nearly cost price.

Two sets of couple cups, and one as a gift for Tessa Sutton.

She was also flustered because the dignified Third Young Master Marshall had publicly asked her for a gift.

Sure enough, when a man acts cute, there’s nothing you can do.

A charming little rascal.

The president of the Marshall Clan Group is a charming little rascal.

Bella Woods slandered him in her heart.

“Let’s go downstairs to buy the things for tomorrow’s cake, okay?” Ashton Marshall naturally held Bella Woods’ hand and suggested.

“Okay.” Bella Woods nodded.

Ashton Marshall naturally took her to the elevator to the supermarket downstairs to do the shopping.

Throughout the process, Ashton Marshall held Bella Woods’ hand, occasionally lowering his head to talk to her.

It made Bella Woods feel as if they were a couple who had been together for many years, shopping together, buying things together, and looking forward to making a little cake tomorrow.

This kind of relationship experience was wonderful for Bella Woods.

She tried to ignore the future and just enjoy the present.

…

Eight o’clock in the evening.

Tessa Sutton’s birthday party started at eight-thirty, and Bella Woods arrived early.

The birthday party was held at the Sutton Family’s house.

Ashton Marshall drove Bella Woods there: “Send me a message when it’s over, and I’ll come pick you up.”

Bella Woods nodded: “Okay.”

She organized Tessa Sutton’s gift, ready to open the car door to leave, but Ashton Marshall grabbed her wrist.

“Did you forget something?” Ashton Marshall raised an eyebrow, staring at Bella Woods.

“Forgot what?”

Bella Woods’ first reaction was to check the gift for Tessa Sutton to see if it had mixed with the couple cups she bought with Ashton Marshall.

“No, what else could I forget?”

Bella Woods mumbled, looked up, and saw Ashton Marshall staring straight at her, then pointing to his own cheek.

This was a direct hint that even Bella Woods, as clueless as she was, could understand.

She smiled helplessly.

Ashton Marshall: “Hmm?”

“Got it.” Bella Woods mumbled, leaned closer to Ashton Marshall, and just as she was about to kiss his cheek, Ashton suddenly turned his head, pulled her into a lip lock.

Bella Woods was stunned, her hand resting on Ashton Marshall’s chest as she quickly pushed him away.

“You’re being unreasonable.” Bella Woods accused.

Ashton Marshall nodded matter-of-factly: “Hmm, so since the last kiss didn’t land, should we try another one?”

“Scoundrel.”

Bella Woods cursed and didn’t care about him, opened the car door, and left.

Ashton Marshall watched Bella Woods leave, puffing with anger as she slammed the car door, her small heels clanking on the ground in frustration.

Ashton Marshall reminded: “Walk slower.”

Bella Woods ignored him and walked even faster.

“If you keep walking like this, Bella Woods, I’ll come down and escort you in myself.”

With just that sentence, Bella Woods immediately slowed her pace.

Though reluctant, she feared even more that Ashton Marshall would actually get out of the car to escort her.

Seeing her obediently walking in her small heels, Ashton Marshall’s expression softened, and he couldn’t help but smile, shaking his head repeatedly.

But as Ashton Marshall’s gaze swept over to the Sutton Family’s gate, his expression instantly cooled.

Once he saw Bella Woods enter with the invitation, Ashton Marshall stepped on the accelerator and drove away.

“Hello, where should I place the gifts?”

Bella Woods had her invitation verified by the staff and asked, seeing various brightly wrapped gifts beside them.

“Just give the gift to me.” the staff member said.

“Bella Woods?”

Just as Bella Woods was about to hand over the gift, someone called her.

She turned around and saw it was Joy Thompson.

Seeing Joy Thompson here wasn’t unexpected for Bella Woods, but she was still a bit surprised.

“Senior Sister Thompson.” Bella Woods ignored the unpleasantness with Joy Thompson from earlier in the day and greeted her warmly.

Joy Thompson was taken aback for a moment, then smiled: “Junior Sister Woods, about what happened today, it was impulsive of me. Since we met, I wanted to apologize to you. I hope Junior Sister doesn’t mind?”

“It’s all in the past.” Bella Woods smiled.

Not planning to say much more to Joy Thompson, Bella Woods was about to give the gift to the staff when Joy Thompson suddenly reached out and took Bella’s gift.

“What kind of gift did Junior Sister bring for Tessa?” Joy Thompson examined the already wrapped gift: “I find the wrapping quite unique, very curious.”

Just as Joy Thompson said this, a group of people arrived. Bella Woods recognized their faces as fellow Peace University students, though she couldn’t recall their names.

“Senior Sister Thompson.” Someone called out: “Why are you standing at the door instead of going inside?”

“Is this the gift you prepared for Tessa? The wrapping looks special.”

Someone took the gift from Joy Thompson’s hand to examine it.

Joy Thompson glanced at Bella Woods, smiled, and said, “This isn’t my gift; it’s this junior sister’s. Mine is here…”

With that, Joy Thompson took out her own gift.

“This is something I saw at the auction with my father yesterday. I thought this diamond necklace was perfect for Tessa; it’s elegant and unique.”

As Joy Thompson spoke, she opened the box, and the full diamonds glimmered under the lights, dazzling everyone.

“Wow, I attended yesterday as well. This diamond necklace’s starting bid was five million, and I heard it was finally sold for seventy million.” Someone exclaimed: “You’re giving this to Tessa as a birthday gift?”

“This is…”

“Joy Thompson, you’re making our gifts look shabby.”

“Yeah, my Hermès bag suddenly seems inadequate.”

“And my gift, too. Since she recently became obsessed with motorcycles, I had it specially customized for her…”

People around kept exclaiming in amazement, while Bella Woods stood awkwardly in contrast.

“It’s nothing, just close with Tessa. Thought this necklace suited her, so I gave it. Money doesn’t matter; none of us are short of a few million.”

Joy Thompson waved her hand nonchalantly.

As she was talking, she suddenly shifted her gaze to Bella Woods: “Junior Sister, everyone has taken out their gifts and spoken about it. Yours hasn’t been revealed yet, open it for a look?”

“Yes, yes, I’m curious too. The packaging is so exquisite; what’s inside?”

“Looks quite unique, must have been thoughtful.”

Others were still examining Bella Woods’ gift.

It was just a small gift, a little cup. She intended it to be unique and thoughtful when she bought it, but with Joy Thompson and others gifting diamond necklaces and custom motorcycles, Bella Woods’ little cup seemed out of place.

“It’s already wrapped nicely, not really appropriate to open it.” Bella Woods refused to unwrap the gift.

“We have to open it anyway; we’re just helping Tessa out.” Joy Thompson waved her hand, and before Bella Woods could stop them, they eagerly and rudely unwrapped it.

As soon as a bit of the cup showed, someone made a disdainful sound.

“Why give such a low-class gift?”
