Miss Ordinary: I Was Reborn To Love You!

"Bella!"

Bella Lim was startled when a voice called her name out loud. Followed with was a sudden hug that made her almost lose her balance. 

"Bella, it's good that you're okay," a voice as gentle as the wind rang beside her. She looked around and finally realized that it was Sun Nan who was hugging her, and Lu Fei was standing just a few steps away from her, smiling. 

Seeing their reactions, she couldn't help but tremble a little. Sun Nan had freed her from his embrace and now was hugging little pumpkin. Even Lu Fei was checking if little pumpkin was okay.

Ahh… she really didn't want to cry in front of these people. Bella Lim looked above her, trying to suppress the tears from rolling down. But, their voices of concern made it difficult.

Bella Lim chuckled, trying to humor herself from crying. Yet, she knew she couldn't stop it. No, she really didn't want to cry here...

Suddenly, someone held her hand. Startled, she looked at the strong hand that was gripping on her feeble one. Until her eyes saw who the person was, Bella Lim felt her heart jumped out from her body. Eric Wu! What was he doing?

"Sun Nan, Lu Fei, please look after little Ryan. I have something to ask Bella," Eric Wu glanced at Bella Lim who looked stupefied before staring at the two men who was chatting with Ryan Lim. Sun Nan made an okay gesture while Lu Fei nodded understandingly. 

"W-where are you bringing me?" Bella Lim gathered her strength to ask. She was too shocked that the tears accumulated at the corner of her eyes seemed to disappear. However, Eric Wu didn't respond. He kept on pulling her hand until they reached a room.

The room had an uneven floor. The slightly staged floor was like a library with rows of bookshelves standing on it. While the one she was standing on was a big area that displayed minimal furniture. A set of black and white desk and chair was placed at the center in front of the big wide window mirroring the wonderful ocean view. On the opposite side of the mini-library was a small cozy area with a set of couches arranged neatly near a fireplace.

Bella Lim had a grasped of what the room was. This was Enlai Gong's workplace! She was excited because it was one of her life dreams to see Enlai Gong's writing space. Today, her dream was fulfilled!

While Bella Lim was admiring the room, Eric Wu once again pulled her hand towards the cozy area. He held her shoulders and pushed her down to sit on one of the couches.

Bella Lim stared at Eric Wu with eyes that contained a lot of questions.

"This room is good for you to cry," she heard him said. Then, he walked to the writing desk and put on his eyewear. He began typing. 

Bella Lim laughed sporadically for she finally knew why she was dragged to this place. She stared at the man again with gratitude. She was really touched by his action. She knew he was a kind person or else he wouldn't help her in the past. But, never would she thought that he would be this thoughtful.

Eric Wu… why are you so kind to me? She asked the same questions again and again inside her mind. She thought a while back, this man must've noticed her tears, maybe that was the reason he brought her in this room.

Now, her emotion was stirred again.

Without this man, would she still be alive right now? Would she still see little pumpkin's smile? 

Bella Lim looked at the fireplace at her right side and then to Eric Wu. Her gaze was on him for a long time.

She took a deep breath before reluctantly looked away. Thinking back on today's incident, she suddenly laughed, although she really didn't feel like laughing.

The dictation of her second life was like riding a rollercoaster. She disliked it because they were too many questions that she couldn't understand. Events that never happened, happened. It was like she had been thrown into a similar yet strange life.

Sighed.

Bella Lim's eyes slowly became glossy. One by one, tears dropped to her ŀȧps. Understanding that the floodgates of her eyes were now opened, Bella Lim grabbed the cushion pillow beside her and used it to muffle the sound of crying. She was loosing her mind, trying to accept that this was her life now. Probably more unexpected things would happen in the future. Let her cries now for the future that probably full of thorns...

Bella Lim cried again, ignoring Eric Wu's presence. Deep down, she felt that it was okay for Eric Wu to see her vulnerability. This man was her pillar. He was the one that gave her the strength to live on! No matter if she was in the past or present, this man seemed to be fated to be involved in her life. She sobbed harder. Her shoulders wracked with every sob.

Eric Wu heard her cries but pretended to be busy. At the same time, he was trying to understand the stifling emotion that was hanging on his ċhėst.

Eric Wu gave up as he ceased doing the thing he was doing and leaned on the chair while his eyes were staring at Bella Lim. He couldn't understand what he was doing either.

A while ago, he saw that Bella Lim looked like she was about to cry, but then was also trying hard to appear strong. He didn't want to see such expression on her face, therefore he brought her here. This was the place he had poured all his emotions into. The place where he could be his true self. He believed Bella Lim could do so as well.

"Feeling okay?" he asked. Now he was walking towards her with a glass of water in his hand. Bella Lim nodded as she mouthed a 'thank you' and took the glass in his hand and drank all of its content. Her sore throat felt better.

"Don't worry about the incident today. I'll help you look into it," Eric Wu said as he took the seat in front of Bella Lim.

"Mmm," Bella Lim muttered, sealing her lips. When she heard Eric Wu's kind words, she felt her lips quivered and a sob threatened to choke off her voice. She took a deep breath and her emotion stabilized again.

"No big deal. I believe even if I don't do anything, someone else will. Sun Nan and Lu Fei wouldn't let the issue rest as it is," Eric Wu spoke with a chuckle. A slightly confused expression on his face.

Bella Lim stared at the man. Was he trying to make an excuse for what he had done to help her? Why?

"Are you emotionally stable right now?" Eric Wu asked. Bella Lim nodded once. She was indeed in a much better condition compared to before. 

"Good. Let's go. I'm famished!" Eric Wu let out a laugh as he rose from his seat. Bella Lim once again shook her head in agreement. She came here for lunch and now that everything was temporarily settled, a meal or two was something she really needed. She too was famished!

Once again Bella Lim followed Eric Wu towards the place where the feast was taking place. While walking on a long-opened corridor, she heard voices coming at the end of it. She walked faster but was still a step behind Eric Wu. Soon, she saw three people were playing bubbles. Not far from them was a huge dining table. It seemed that the feast was hosted at Eric Wu's garden. 

"You guys are here!" Lu Fei approached Bella Lim and whispered: "Are you okay now?" he smiled. Bella Lim was startled. It seemed that Lu Fei already knew why she was dragged away from them. 

"I am," she returned a smile. That was when she heard little pumpkin's voice calling for Eric Wu's name. She looked at the chaotic scene in front of her and laughed. Eric Wu was now rolling on the ground with Sun Nan and little pumpkin trying to take the super elastic bubble plastic from his hand.

Wasn't he hungry? Where did he get the energy to jump around? Bella Lim chuckled as she pulled Lu Fei to join the chaos that was happening on the ground.
