Chapter 221 For Caden
Beatrice washed her hands and rolled up her sleeves, ready to help Monica with her work. However, to her surprise, Ryan took off his coat and walked in..
“Alright, you two go eat on the side, I’ll keep an eye on things.”
“Thank you, husband,” Monica smiled, her
“Thank you, Ryan.”
eyes curved.
Beatrice took two bowls of soup and sat directly at the small table, drinking them.
The soup stewed with precious herbs was different.

Monica and Ryan came over after a while, and as soon as they sat down, they snatched the soup from Beatrice’s hand and drank it all up.
“I was so thirsty, I had already found out for you.”
“Find out? Mom, what did I ask you to find out?” Beatrice exclaimed in astonishment.
“Bella, ah.”
Perhaps out of curiosity, Beatrice did not interrupt Monica.
Monica whispered, “Bella is the daughter of the prestigious Soder family in Boston. She was studying abroad with Caden when he got into a car accident. It was Bella who saved him before the explosion, but unfortunately, she got injured and had to have her limbs amputated.”
When she was taken to the hospital, Madelynn, who happened to be abroad, saw her. Madelynn then switched their identities, so Caden thought Madelynn was the one who saved her.
Over the years, she was doing rehabilitation abroad. Caden and Madelynn got engaged, but no one knew the reason. People thought Caden had finally found a woman he liked, so he didn’t come back to the country.
Not until Madelynn heard about the incident and it became a big deal within the circle did she find out the truth. Only then did she immediately rush back and acknowledge Caden.
“Although she was disabled, her temperament and confidence were truly incomparable to ordinary people.”
Monica couldn’t help but praise as she continued speaking.
It can be seen that Bella is not the kind of pretentious person like Madelynn.
Beatrice pursed her lips, her face devoid of color for a long time.
I don’t know how long it had passed when
it had passed when a maid walked quickly over.
“Mrs. Monica Baldwin, almost finished with the main course, are we going to have a fruit platter next?”
“Finished eating?”
Monica was taken aback, looking at the two small bowls in front of her, feeling extremely embarrassed.
The carefully prepared family feast, she didn’t even have the chance to sit at the table. Beatrice looked at her mother’s unhappy face and patted her hand. “Mom, let me arrange the fruit platter. You should take a break, your back isn’t feeling well.”

Monica did not refuse either.
Beatrice checked the fruit platter arranged on small plates, placed them one by one on the dining cart, and delivered them to the restaurant with a maid.
Standing at the doorway, I could just see the scene inside.
Xander was not his usual serious self, but rather resembled a kind and loving elder in a typical household, with a smile on his face and a cheerful demeanor.
Following his gaze, Beatrice saw Caden peeling shrimp beside her.
After peeling, he carefully checked for any shrimp shells remaining, and then placed them in Bella’s plate.
Bella looked up and smiled at him, with a gleam in her eyes that was about to overflow. The people around were laughing, laughing from the bottom of their hearts. It seems like Beatrice and Monica were missing from this dining table, finally… it felt like a family.
Beatrice pursed her lips and immediately turned to look at the maid beside her. “You go ahead, I’ll go to the restroom.”
“Um.”
Seeing the maid push the door open, Beatrice quickly walked away.
Hearing a sound, Caden looked up and saw the maid walking into the restaurant. Bella smiled faintly and asked, “Mr. Caden, what are you looking at?”
“It’s nothing, go ahead and eat.”
Putting down the shrimp, Caden took the towel handed by the maid and wiped his hands Bella lowered her head and looked at the shrimp in the plate, her cheeks slightly flushed. “Thank you, if it weren’t for my injured finger, I wouldn’t have bothered you to do these. Without waiting for Caden to speak, Xander interrupted, “Bella, this is all something Caden should have done. Compared to your efforts, what is this?”
Bella looked at Caden and shook her head quickly, “I didn’t save Mr. Caden expecting anything return. At that time, it didn’t matter who was in the car, I would have saved them.” She did not deliberately say good things, but she really thought so.
Xander looked at her and nodded approvingly, “Bella, it is also fortunate for Caden to know you.” “Uncle, when you say it like that, I dare
that, I dare not say anything in response.” Bella felt a little embarrassed and instinctively moved to the side, avoiding Caden.
Her thoughts were
were evident to everyone, and they were all readily accepted. Although she broke her leg, she did it for Caden after all.
Marrying her and bringing her into the house, even if it was just as a decoration, could bring honor to the Baldwin family.
Not to mention her prestigious family background, her marriage was even a powerful alliance

Bella turned her head to the side and looked at the man’s stern profile, with a hint of anticipation in her eyes, hoping that he would say something.
Caden, on the other hand, politely brought a fruit platter: “Have some fruits.”
Bella felt a little disappointed, but after all, they hadn’t seen each other for a long time, so it was indeed necessary to get to know each other slowly.
Thinking, she immediately smiled and ate the fruit.
Xander saw it in his eyes, a flicker of displeasure passing through his gaze. He discreetly glanced at Caden and advised, “Caden, this is Bella’s first time here, so please show her around later.”
Bella’s face brightened up a bit: “Just so happens I wanted to see where you grew up.” “Um, Caden responded, getting up and saying, “Take your time, I’ll go to the restroom first.”
Beatrice didn’t go back to the kitchen, she went straight to the garden to get some fresh air. But she didn’t feel any better, on the contrary, her chest felt even more constricted when she saw the carefully arranged garden by Monica.
Suddenly, she understood why Xander had asked her to come back and why he had put Monica in charge of the family banquet.
Embarrassing.
Humiliation.
He was not a human inside and out.
These vocabulary words can all be used to describe them, mother and daughter, Xander had always been successful in performing this trick.
Beatrice took a deep breath, and the cold air calmed her down.
When I turned around and left, there was an extra figure in front of me.
She didn’t raise her eyes, but she knew who the other person was.
Without hesitation, she bypassed the man and walked straight towards the kitchen. But as soon as I took a step, my wrist was grabbed by the man.
She struggled for a moment, glaring angrily at Caden.
Caden said indifferently, “You want to tangle with me here?”
When he mentioned the word “entanglement, it carried a profound meaning. Beatrice looked at the servant walking past the corridor and gave up struggling. “Uncle Caden, speak up if you have something to say,
if you have something to say, let go of me first.” Caden didn’t let go and opened her tightly clenched fist, looking at the scraped middle finger. “Why are you so tough on me, but so kind to others?”
“I was fine.”
Beatrice wanted to pull her hand back, but Caden pulled her back in front of him with a little

force.
He took out a band–aid from his pocket and bandaged her wound.
“Did you drink the stewed herbal medicine?” Caden suddenly asked, “Your constitution is so weak, your hands are still cold.”
Beatrice was slightly stunned.
Did Monica give her soup as Caden instructed?
She didn’t quite understand him, but still nodded her head, “Hmm.”
As the words fell, Caden reached out his hand towards her.
“Where is it? It should have been given to me.”
“What thing?”
Beatrice knew he was talking about the scarf, but she still decided to play dumb. “The thing that was hidden behind just now,” Caden lowered his gaze and stared at her. So he actually saw everything, but remained indifferent.
Out of the corner of her eye, Beatrice happened to see the servant pushing the kitchen trash bin towards the back door, with a corner of her packaging bag peeking out from the edge of the bin.
She coldly raised her hand and pointed to the trash can, saying, “It’s over there. If Uncle Caden hurries, he should be able to retrieve it.”
