บท 144: Chapter 145

"What nasty thoughts are you picturing again? Chase asked with a cheeky smile.

Bella's face stiffened, and the calm, sweet atmosphere seemed to have vanished in an instant.

Why was he such an emotionally clueless man?

Chase needed to be 'rehabilitated"!

Urgently!

Just as Bella was about to 'salvage' Chase, a voice rang out from behind them. "There you are."

The couple turned around.

An old man in his 80s wearing a torn hat stood in front of them.

He was holding a large porcelain bowli before he handed it to Bella.

"This is all we have to offer. Please treat yourself to a bowl of spring water. It's pretty refreshing."

The old man gave a sincere smile while holding the porcelain bowl in his calloused hand.

Bella took the bowl and replied with a smile,"Elder Li, why are you here?"

Elder Li was one of the farmers that Bella had met from her previous visit.
