Seduce him in bathroom

After greeting them properly, Bella went back to her room, the gears in her head turned as quickly as possible.

Go back go back but how?!

Her gaze landed on the phone on the bed.

Her brows tugged together and she walked towards the phone before picking it up. As she tried to open it, it showed a fingerprint lock option.

Bella tried her right-hand index finger but it was not unlocked, she then pressed the right-hand thumb and the phone was unlocked with a click.

She sighed. As expected, the majority of the population does this.

She quickly checked the current location.

"Los Angeles?" So, this comics' world was set up in the current time and the place where she grew up in. She sighed in relief.

She noticed the car keys on the bedside table and picked them up.

But before she could step out of her room, she was greeted by the sight of a familiar woman.

It was Rose's mother.

The red-haired woman walked towards Bella.

'Pak'

Bella's face whipped to the side by the impact of the slap that came her way. She felt a burn on her right cheek.

She saw this slap coming and she could have dodged it but she did was not sure if it would raise any suspicions so she played it safe for the moment.

The very first time someone raised their hand on her. Bella pursed her lips. If her grandpa was here, then that hand...tsk.

"Bella Ashton, don't forget it was my daughter who picked you up from a dirty slum when you were not even getting any decent food to eat," Anna Scott, Rose's mother spoke in a suppressed tone, "Do you know why you were sent abroad after high school?"

Bella glanced at the woman quietly. From her tone, it seems like the previous Bella had no idea about this just like her.

She was a bit indignant at this point. The pages of the comics were blank and so were the previous Bella's memories. Even if she was dropped here, she should have been provided with proper resources to know what happened in 25 years of this Bella's life here. She pouted mentally.

"You don't know right?" Mrs. Scott asked, looking at her quiet countenance.

"What do you think?" Bella raised an eyebrow and threw the phone on the bed before she walked towards the couch. She sat on the couch and picked up the water bottle from the coffee table. Crossing one of her legs above the other, she placed her elbow on the arm of the couch with her head propping up on her fist.

Mrs. Scott was momentarily dazed because of her calm demeanor.

Bella quietly rubbed the water bottle on her cheek. Even though it was not cold water, she could only make do with this for now.

"Bella, what's with your attitude?"

"Mrs. Scott, your point is…?" Bella lazily asked, not knowing the bomb she just dropped on the woman.

Mrs. Scott was stunned. All these years, Bella had only ever addressed her as a mother after begging her for it. Addressing her like this all of a sudden, was she rebelling?

Unaware to her, the current Bella is not the previous orphan Bella whom they took in and she had no idea about how to address her so she stuck to this.

"During high school, you used to write love letters and put them on Niklaus' desk despite knowing that Rose loves him. Did you think nobody would notice that?"

Bella almost dropped the water bottle in her hand. It's alright that she fell in love but what century is it for her to write letters? Dumb kid. She should have just confessed to him.

If Mrs. Scott was aware of her thoughts, she would have spat a mouthful of blood but luckily she wasn't to so she continued, "But unfortunately, I noticed everything and decided to send you abroad for further studies. Who knew you will be more shameless by the time you come back? You even went as far as to sneak into his bedroom to seduce him…"

"Bathroom," Bella interrupted her and Mrs. Scott frowned, "Went to his bathroom to seduce him," she finished her sentence.

"Bella!" A nerve twitched on Mrs. Scott's forehead, "Since when did you become so brazen?" She had always been scheming and quiet but when did she become so bold and shameless?

"People change," Bella placed the water bottle on the coffee table as she pushed herself to her feet, "And so do feelings. I can't reverse what happened in the past but you don't need to worry about the future. I have no such kind of feelings for your future son-in-law because if I did, I would be on his bed by now or he could have been on mine."

Mrs. Scott's frown was just disappearing in the first few sentences until she heard the last part and she gritted her teeth. This shameless woman!
