Chapter 2 Bella and Stevan meeting

Saturday 19.02

Bella was in a luxury restaurant with her parents, she was wearing a knee-length dress with Sabrina's shoulder cut which made her uncomfortable. It seems her mother really intends to make her look like an adult woman. Don't forget the damn high heels that made Bella almost fall while climbing the stairs in front of the restaurant. Bella just looked down as if not interested in the situation around her. He is more interested in the phone in his hand because Aurora is doing a live exor'dium dot on her Instagram. Oh yes, Bella just remembered. Maybe this matchmaking event made mom and dad strongly oppose his desire to watch his favorite Boy Group concert. Even her mother didn't care about Bella, who carried out a hunger strike that Bella did as a form of protest.

"Mom, how many centuries do the Alexander family plan to come, anyway? Bella is tired of waiting." said Bella groaned.

"In a moment, Bella ... the appointment is at 19.30, dear."

"WHAT?"

"Can your voice be conditioned, can't you? Shame on people, don't show your barbaric behavior here." Reprimand sellin for the behavior of her own excited daughter.

"If the appointment is at 19.30, what are we doing here from 18.30, ma'am?" Bella said in a voice that she tried to be as calm as possible. In fact, she wanted to scream while pounding the table.

"Yes, I'm afraid I'll be late," said Sellin, turning his gaze towards the door of the restaurant.

"Bella doesn't want to know, ma'am, if the Alexander family arrives 5 minutes late... Bella will go home by Grab," Bella said in a threatening tone.

"Whatever, if the next day you want to be trashy," Sellin replied, not wanting to lose.

Sellin's words just made Bella look down again to focus on the cellphone in her hand. Meanwhile, William just shook his head at the behavior of his wife and daughter, who argued almost every day over small matters like this.

"Good evening Mr. Dvidson ... sorry to keep you waiting. There was a little problem on the way," said a middle-aged woman politely.

Judging from his dressing style, it was clear that he wasn't a random person. Oh yeah, don't forget the man standing next to him with a style that is no less classy, ​​then there are about five bodyguards right behind them.

The arrival of the Alexander family makes Bella stop her activities. He kept his cell phone in his bag and then straightened his eyes to see the son of the Alexander family who was going to be arranged with him.

Speechless

That's how Bella's expression when she saw the man sitting right in front of her at this time. Angel stared at the man in front of him barely blinking.

"Why him? Oh my God ... how could he?" Bella thought.

Why didn't that man change one bit, his eyes, his gaze, his charisma. And oh yeah, his polite smile didn't change an inch. He's still the same man Bella met three years ago, but the difference is that he looks more mature and more handsome of course. Bella immediately regretted it. Why doesn't she obey her mother's orders to dress up at the salon. She only uses a light make-up copy from the tutorial of a beauty vlogger which she believes the results are not optimal because Bella is not proficient in applying it.

"This must be Bella, huh?" asked the middle-aged woman who Bella believed was Mrs. Alexander, the mother of the man in front of her.

"Your mummy must be lying ... she said you are a beautiful girl," said Mrs Alexander.

Bella was silent. He couldn't bring himself to speak and chose to just look down.

"But it turns out that you are not only beautiful, but you are very beautiful." Praise Mrs Alexander. Instantly Bella lifted her head and looked at Mrs Alexander with a small smile she made as sweet as possible.

Bella thought it would be easy for her to get close to her future mother-in-law because it seemed that Mrs. Alexander was not a rigid type of mother-in-law, who thought her daughter-in-law was a robot that she could manage at will.

Mrs Alexander's joke suddenly made the people at the table laugh. Except for one person, only one person was unaffected by Mrs Alexander's jokes. Yes, the man in front of Bella. He just stared at Bella expressionlessly. There was no happy, sad, or angry expression on his face.

"Stevan, the beautiful woman you've been staring at is your future wife. Mom's words are not wrong, right? You will be fascinated by her."

Silence. Everyone at the table had their eyes fixed on Stevan. Stevan just looked at his mother with a slight smile that he tried to be as polite as possible. Hey, what's with that smile? Stevan's smile made Bella think that there was something strange here.

"So when exactly can we make our relationship official?" asked the man wearing a black tuxedo breaking the silence, the man Bella believed was Mr. Alexander.

"How about next month? Because next month is Bella's twenty-first birthday." Bella's father answered.

"Good idea, Bella's mother and mother will prepare your wedding party. Don't be surprised if your wedding party will be crowned the most luxurious party of the year." said Mrs Alexander proudly.

Suddenly everyone at the table laughed, except for Bella and Stevan of course. They are busy with their own thoughts.

"Oh yes Bella, let's get acquainted with her future husband first. Why have you been silent all this time, before the Alexander family came, you were the most enthusiastic ... he said he couldn't wait to meet him."

Good, mama is the one who is the best at improvising. And mom's improvisation this time managed to make Bella embarrassed to death in front of Stevan. Unexpectedly, Stevan stretched out his hand in front of Bella.

"Stevan Alexander. You can call me Stevan".

Bella also accepted Stefan's hand and shook it politely. "My name is Bella Stephanie Davidson, you can call me Bella".

"Nice to meet and get to know you." Stevan said after breaking his handshake with Bella.

"Ah, me too," Bella replied with a slightly blushing smile.

'Oh my God... is it really a dream for me to be able to meet him again? If you knew from the start, Mama would set me up with her... I swear for whatever reason I won't refuse.'

Bella and Stevan's family finally continued their chat while having dinner together.

"How is it? You don't regret it, do you? Now do you still want to refuse this matchmaking, Bell?" Sellin whispered to his daughter.

Instead of answering, Bella just glanced at the man who would soon become her husband.
