Bella had no intention of contacting Simon to confirm anything. By doing so, she would be playing into his hands
because he wanted her to initiate contact with him. The more she thought about it, the more furious she felt. It
was to the point that she was too upset to eat lunch.
When she got hthat evening, she immediately complained about her hunger to Sylvia, who offered her
schowder. "Didn't you have lunch? Why are you hungry?" Bella drank the chowder pensively and hummed.

She shook her head. "It was nothing."
He didn't believe her. If it was nothing, she wouldn't have called in the first place. "If you have anything on your

The person on the other end replied, "Yes. She received breakfast and lunch takeout from well-known
establishments that she never ordered. She threw away the lunch takeout without opening it." He frowned

Simon was hinting that no matter how much the Miller family had done for Bella, it could never compare to his
