"Are you and he very familiar?" Mason asked.
Bella almost nodded instinctively but then paused.
The girl carefully observed the man's expression, and then her face changed several times before she couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Brother, are you jealous?"
Exposed, Mason wasn't flustered; he maintained his inscrutable demeanor.
"What if I say I'm jealous, would you switch?"
Bella laughed even louder upon hearing that, then she threw herself into Mason's arms, tipped her head back, and laughed so hard her eyes disappeared.
"Of course not, there's nothing between him and me, why would I switch? Switching would make me look guilty."
"Smooth talker." Mason snorted.
"Oh come on, Mason, they just talk nonsense online. Louis Lawrence is like a big flower, attracting bees everywhere. How could I fancy him?"
"Online they say you two are a good match, a CP, huh?" Mason lifted her chin, his gaze growing colder.
Thinking about those online comments made his liver ache.
