Bella Woods stared in shock at Ashton Marshall, trying to process what he had just said.
Hadn't he always been trying to stop her from going abroad?
First, it was the school's charity project, then it was Bella Woods' self-funded study abroad—one thing after another; the principal had hinted to Bella Woods that someone was orchestrating things behind the scenes to prevent her from leaving.
Bella Woods always believed it was Ashton Marshall's game with her that hadn't ended, so he didn't want her to go abroad.
But now Ashton Marshall spoke so naturally, it even made Bella Woods feel that her going abroad was something he had always been thinking about and arranging.
"Hmm?" Ashton Marshall pinched Bella Woods' cheek, "Why aren't you speaking?"
Bella Woods snapped back to reality and shook her head, "There are more classes this week."
"Pffft."
