Crushed Affections (Dominic and Bella)

Chapter 375 Who Are You Calling Ma'am

Bella was thrown into chaos by his bizarre train of thought. "Why are you out here rushing to play dad like you? There should be a limit to your jokes. You still haven't figured out your own life. I'm not dragging a kid like you into this mess." Wesley abruptly put down the spatula, appearing disturbed. "Don't treat me like a kid. I'll say again that I don't mind whose baby you're carrying as long as you're with me."

Upon seeing the seriousness on his face, she felt a surge of fear. "I'm telling you seriously that we're not right for each other. You're too young to make any decisions. We can only be neighbors. If you persist, we'll just be strangers to each other." He stared at her momentarily, then leaned in slightly and chuckled mischievously. "Haha, you didn't think I liked you, did you? Wow, women your age do take things seriously."

She sighed in relief and playfully slapped his arm. "You're crazy!"

The following day, Bella went to Lia's studio, and Wesley insisted on tagging along, saying it wasn't safe for a pregnant woman to go out alone. She couldn't shake him off and felt like he was a persistent fly that wouldn't disappear. When Lia spotted a strikingly handsome young man like Wesley, she grinned and said, "Bella, you've got something going on..."

Bella sighed at her remarks. "This is my neighbor. He's not even 20 years old yet. What are you joking about?"
