Chapter 464 - 463: Want to Cherish, Spoil, and Protect Her
Bella Acker was focused on solving the problems and didn’t notice someone behind her.
It was only when she finished reading the big question and looked up that she found a shadow over her head.
"Ah!" Bella instinctively pressed down on her workbook and turned around in surprise to look behind her.
The camera captured all her reactions within its lens.
Bella said, "Director, please don’t broadcast this, okay? If I got any questions wrong, it would be so embarrassing to be laughed at."
"Studying is all about learning because you don’t know," the director said cheerfully. "Besides, we’re just filming it now; we might not edit it into the broadcast, so don’t worry."
As a newcomer, Bella couldn’t demand too much; otherwise, people might think she was acting like a diva before getting famous.
"Thank you, Director." Bella nodded in gratitude and didn’t dwell on the matter further.
The time had just about come, and the other guests were on their way. Bella and Archer Quinn also needed to pack up and leave.
Before leaving, it was customary to take a group photo; Bella, a girl surrounded by several men in a gentlemanly manner, making for quite a harmonious scene.
Saying goodbye to everyone, Bella and Archer Quinn got into the car arranged by the program crew and left.
"Tired?" Archer Quinn said as he placed a soft pillow behind her waist.
"Senior Quinn, use it yourself; I’m fine." Although it was her first time in the countryside, Bella had been doing chores at home, so she wasn’t delicate.
"It’ll take more than an hour for the car to reach the airport, so use it." Archer Quinn said, "Bella, this show has taught me a lot again. Did you use to do chores at home?"
"Not really, just helping Aunt Sienna and the dean mom take care of the kids in the welfare home, not tiring." Bella smiled. "By the way, Senior Quinn, where are the photos you took yesterday? Send them to me."
"I accidentally deleted them while looking through them last night." Archer Quinn lied smoothly with a smile, also leading the topic away. "Is the welfare home still there?"
Bella shook her head, "Now it’s just Aunt Sienna and Ethan left. Aunt Sienna is old and doesn’t have the energy to look after little kids anymore."
Archer Quinn felt some regret, "Originally, I wanted to see the place where Bella grew up."
"You can’t anymore." Bella said somewhat disappointedly, "The welfare home was demolished many years ago and turned into a commercial building; it no longer has any of its original traces."
Seeing her looking so downcast, Archer Quinn’s heart unexpectedly softened, and before he realized it, he was gently rubbing her forehead, consoling her softly, "Home is where family is, don’t be sad."
"Mm." Bella smiled, "I’m now working hard to earn money to buy a house for Aunt Sienna and Ethan in Creston so they won’t have to move around because of renting anymore."
"You can do it."
Archer Quinn wanted to say, ’I can help you.’ For him, buying two or three houses in Creston was easy, but seeing the determination in her eyes, he couldn’t bring himself to utter the words that were on the tip of his tongue.
She’s trying so hard, it seemed saying ’I’ll buy it for you’ or ’I’ll lend you money to buy’ would be insulting to her.
Archer Quinn instinctively tightened his grip on the palm resting at his side, with the deeper connection making him want to hold the girl beside him tightly, to cherish, protect, and indulge her for a lifetime.
Unfortunately... he thought, she didn’t give him the chance.
"Buzz, buzz!" Bella’s phone vibrated twice, showing a message alert.
