Late at night.
Bella Woods woke up and stared at the ceiling in a daze.
She hadn't really fallen asleep and wasn't sure how she woke up. Suddenly she was wide awake and tried to sleep again several times, but she couldn't.
Ashton Marshall held her the entire time, his breathing steady. She didn't dare to turn over, afraid of disturbing him.
Although they talked about some things tonight and cleared up some misunderstandings, Bella felt their issues weren't fully resolved.
The topic of going abroad.
Including the relationship between the two of them.
On one hand, Bella wanted to clarify things.
But on the other hand, she felt maybe there was nothing to clarify.
Ashton always knew she was going abroad and didn't bother to say much, probably because she kept him hidden, afraid others would find out. Perhaps Third Young Master Marshall felt his pride was hurt.
Or maybe he was unhappy being deemed unpresentable for the first time.
