Chapter 257 Listening to Others Like This?
Throughout the Spring Festival, Beatrice spent most of her time in bed.
Fortunately, Brenda and Monica kept her company and Odin often came over to chat.

I didn’t expect her to be discharged today. While she was packing things with Monica, Odin brought a woman
“Beatrice, are you okay?”
The woman waved her hand to say hello, revealing the wedding ring on her finger.
Beatrice gently brushed past, smiled at the stranger and said, “You are…”
over.
The woman hesitated and said, “Look at my memory, I forgot that you don’t remember now. I am Bella, Odin’s sister. We used to have a good relationship. I wanted to come and see you before, but my brother didn’t allow me.”
Odin replied, “She was recovering from her injuries, not playing around. Besides, aren’t you busy enough with the wedding preparations?”
Bella pouted, “Don’t even mention the wedding. I can’t believe there’s so much to do just to get married. Thankfully, Mr. Caden has been helping me every step of the way, otherwise I would be completely overwhelmed. But… who knows if you have ulterior motives?”
It sounds like a complaint, but happiness cannot be hidden on her face.
Upon hearing this, Beatrice smiled sincerely and when she spoke again, there was a sense of inexplicable relief in her tone.
“I know you, I have heard my mom often praise you, and I heard that you are getting married soon. Congratulations to you.”
Bella gently covered her lips and said, “I feel embarrassed hearing that.”
Monica smiled and said, “No need to feel sorry, you were already great.”
The atmosphere suddenly became relaxed.
“I actually got discharged today, you don’t need to come over specifically.”
Beatrice

tidying up, without continuing the previous
topic.
Bella thought for a moment and continued, “Actually, it’s quite a coincidence. Mr. Caden was discharged from the hospital today. He had caught a cold and had been running a fever. He wasn’t getting better, but finally recovered these past few days. I came to pick him up and, decided to come see you as well.”
As the words fell, the room fell into silence.
Beatrice had just zipped up her luggage when she glanced up and noticed everyone looking at her, seemingly with mixed expression
She furrowed her brows in confusion and asked, “What’s wrong?”
Bella asked cautiously, “Mr. Caden… don’t you remember?”
“Remember, the Baldwin family, Mr. Caden, your fiancé, who doesn’t know him? I am not only suffering from amnesia but also not foolish.” Beatrice laughed.
As she laughed without a care, everyone also laughed along.
Bella seemed to want to say something, but she was interrupted by Odin.
“Time is almost up, let’s go together.”
Monica quickly changed the subject, “Okay, let’s go.”
Beatrice nodded and reached for her bag, but to her surprise, Odin was one step ahead and picked it up for her.
“Let’s go.”
“Thank you,” Beatrice said, expressing her gratitude.
Odin looked at her and approached slowly, saying in a deep voice, “If you really want to thank me, can we schedule that meal we talked about?”
Beatrice sheepishly tilted her head slightly, seemingly able to guess Odin’s thoughts.
After all, he didn’t lack this meal at all, considering his status.
She also didn’t want to owe others all the time, so she thought for a moment and said, “Are you free today? How about I treat you to a meal?”
“I had free time,” Odin said with a smile.
His assistant Keyon was taken aback, with a forced smile on his face.
What is available?
There were so many things to do at the company, and I had originally planned to stay in Chicago for only three days. It has already been a week.

The beauty was a disaster.
Beatrice walked out of the ward and was discussing with Odin what to eat.
Suddenly, a dark and gloomy gaze fell upon us.

The man walked side by side with Brend, wearing a long black coat. He had a superior figure and walked slowly, exuding a dangerous aura of restraint.
Beatrice raised her eyes and met a pair of icy eyes.
She did not dodge, but looked at him curiously, only to find his eyes flickering slightly, tinged with a hint of restraint. When she wanted to see clearly, his eyes were calm and peaceful again.
Bella smiled and approached him, ‘Mr. Caden, have you finished talking with Dr. Goodman? “Um, Caden responded quietly.
Immediately, everyone except Beatrice greeted each other one by one.
Finally, Monica poked her with her arm and whispered, “At least say hello.”
Beatrice awkwardly said, “I didn’t know him, how could I call him?”
Her voice was actually very low, but everyone was standing
The man across the street’s face darkened.
Beatrice wanted to dig a hole out of embarrassment.
Odin leaned in close to her and whispered, “Let’s go by seniority.”
“Hmm.” Beatrice had a look

head to look at Caden, “Uncle Caden‘
Even politely and respectfully with a sense of reverence towards elders.
Caden’s lips tightened, and he coldly said, “Listen to others like this?”
Beatrice looked at him in confusion and pointed to Odin beside her, saying, “He is not someone else.“,
Caden’s pupils contracted, as if in the freezing cold of winter.
Beatrice felt a chill down her spine as he looked at her, and instinctively she moved closer to Od
I don’t know if it was an illusion, but she seemed to see self–mockery in his eyes.
Odin naturally raised his hand to protect Beatrice and said in a deep voice, “Mr. Caden, Beatrice and I have something to attend to, so we will leave first.”
Beatrice followed him as he left.
When she brushed past Caden, her hand felt like it had been gently grazed by something.
She didn’t pay much attention at first, but there was a moment when she felt a strange sensation on the back of her hand.
She didn’t hesitate for a second, and naturally raised her hand to flick her hair, quickly catching up with Odin’s footsteps.
Beatrice only glanced sideways when she turned the corner.
Bella and Caden walked hand in hand towards the other side.
The rings between their fingers were perfectly connected, as if the ribbon of destiny intimately linked the two of them.
“Beatrice?” Odin shouted in the elevator.
“He came.”
Beatrice walked into the elevator with a smile on her face.
The moment the elevator door closed, Caden suddenly stopped and turned around.
But Beatrice did not see it.
“Mr. Caden, what’s wrong?” Bella asked, looking up.
“No problem. Let’s go.”
Caden released her hand without a word and walked straight ahead.
Bella stood behind him and realized that his figure was

After Bella got off the car, she realized that Caden did not get off.
‘Mr. Caden, aren’t you coming down?*
“There is still a lot of work to be arranged before the wedding. I will go back to the company first. You don’t have to wait for me today. Remember to take your medicine and rest early.”
Caden lowered his head and looked at the documents, giving instructions methodically.
Bella froze.
Even though they were concerned words, why couldn’t she feel any warmth at all?

“Angie? How did you come here?”
Angie reached out and pulled Bella closer, her gaze falling behind her as she scanned the area before asking, “Where is Mr. Caden? Didn’t he accompany you?”
“I went to the company.”
Bella sat down and poured herself a cup of tea.
But before I could drink, Angie grabbed my arm.

Angie frowned and said, “Bella, I was also thinking about you.
