Invincible! This person has lived for a billion years

Chapter 307  Bella's Speculation.

The next morning, William went to the supermarket early for shopping.

Having lived in this neighborhood for a while, William was quite amiable with the neighbors, and many people greeted him as he left his yard.

When William passed by Maria's stall, there were a few customers buying breakfast. It was a usual sight at this time.

"William, you're back?" Maria smiled at William and asked, "Are you eating at home for lunch?"

William nodded and said, "Yes, at home. Maria, would you like to join me?"

"Maybe not today." replied Maria, who looked quite different from when she was at the bar, her face free of makeup but looking very refreshed.

"Just wait a moment"

William remembered that when he saw Maria at the bar, although her makeup was meticulously done, she seemed tired in her eyes, which was understandable considering the nightly drinking and the toll it took on her.

After serving a few customers, Maria took out a bank card from her pocket and handed it to William: "Thanks for last time, William. There's two hundred thousand dollars in this card, the money you had Aurora give me. I want to pay you back."

William glanced at the bank card in her hand and smiled, "Don't pay me back yet. Use that money for something, consider it an investment in your stall. I'm just a college student right now,I don't have a better use for the money."

He genuinely didn't care about the money. If Maria hadn't brought it up, he might have forgotten about it. Joshua had given him a briefcase full of money as a gesture of reconciliation, and since Maria needed money at that time, William had given it to her.

However, Maria still remembers this incident vividly.

"You... okay!" Maria, who was straightforward, accepted his proposal. William had already helped her enough, and since he insisted, she decided to use the money to open a small shop and share the profits with William each month.

If the business failed, she would bear the losses herself and figure out a way to repay William later.

William didn't stay long at Maria's stall. He went to Whole Foods and bought some vegetables, eggs, and flour.

In the past month, William had gotten a good grasp of current prices and enjoyed the process of selecting ingredients.

After returning home, he started making bread. While he was at it, a car pulled up at his doorstep – it was Bella coming to visit.

During their last meeting, William had indeed promised another meal with Bella. Today, one of her friends was getting married, and she wanted William to accompany her to avoid unwanted attention from people she disliked.

After entering William's yard, she called out, "William, are you up?"

At that time, William was in the kitchen, and Alice, having just grasped new Sword techniques and secrets, was lounging and rolling around in William's bed. Hearing Bella's call, they both came out.

William had already sensed Bella's arrival and nodded to her as he emerged, saying, "Make yourself comfortable. I'm making Whole Wheat Bread. Have you eaten?"

"No..." Bella replied, her eyes occasionally darting over to Alice, wondering about the situation.

Every time she visited, Alice was at William's house. Today, so early in the morning, Alice was already there. Bella knew Alice's home was in a suburban villa. If she had come over in the morning, it couldn't have been this early.

The only conclusion Bella could draw was that Alice had spent the night here!

"Then let me give you a piece of the Whole Wheat Bread I just made." William was somewhat helpless. This person counts as a customer, right? Last time, they came over for a meal, and today it's obvious they've timed their visit perfectly.

He offered Bella a piece of bread, and in return, Bella would treat him to a large meal and give him an additional thousand dollars. No matter how he calculated it, it was a good deal for him.

Alice, blinking her eyes, said to William, "I want some too."

In front of others, she refrained from calling him 'master', but the fact that Bella, the busty woman, came looking for William at dawn definitely suggested something was amiss.

William gave her an annoyed glance and went back into the kitchen.

This left Bella and Alice alone in the yard.

Bella also remembered when she first met William,Lila and Alice had even formed a chat group with her.

In their group chats, they all seemed quite dismissive of William.

But how long had it been since then?

While Bella was unsure about Lila's situation, looking at Alice, it seemed she had already developed a deep affection for William, maybe even to the point of having slept with him.

"Bella, what do you need William for?" Alice smiled at Bella, then found a wooden stool for her, while she herself had already taken a seat on William's wingback chair, looking very much like a hostess welcoming a guest.

Bella squinted her eyes slightly, her smile meaningful, and asked in a low voice, "Alice, you didn't go home last night, did you?"

Alice subconsciously glanced at Bella's ample chest, trying to stand tall and proud, but ultimately felt a sense of defeat.

"I didn't go back, yeah!" Alice's cheeks turned slightly red. Although she had only meditated in William's bedroom the previous night, she indeed hadn't gone home.

"You two are moving quite fast," Bella said, not showing any surprise, but instead chuckling softly, "Looks like you're planning to stay over in his place often?"

Faced with this question, Alice nodded vigorously.

Bella seemed like she might be up to something.

"Alright, then, I won't bother inviting William. I'll leave after breakfast," Bella said, originally planning to freeload a meal and invite William to accompany her to a friend's party. But now that Alice and William were apparently in a relationship and living together, it didn't seem appropriate anymore.

Alice nodded again but curiously asked, "What did you want to invite William for?"

"I had previously agreed with William to accompany me to a meal, for a thousand dollars each time."

Alice couldn't help but roll her eyes. Her master, who clearly wasn't short of money, was bought over by a meal costing a thousand dollars.

If that was the case, she might as well give William a hundred million dollars to accompany her for meals every day.

Of course, that was probably just wishful thinking. If she really did that, William would surely give her a stern look and then insist she double her efforts in practicing what he taught her.

Bella, quite the gossip, inquired about Alice and William's romantic history. Alice was evasive and non-committal until William called out from the kitchen, "Alice, come and get the bread!"

Alice jumped to her feet and responded, "Coming!" before scurrying into the kitchen to fetch the freshly made bread.

Bella watched this, feeling a bit odd.

The scene reminded her of when her mother would finish cooking and call her to fetch the dishes...

In a couple's case, shouldn't it be William serving the bread to them?

And the way William called Alice, his tone sounded just like her mother calling her to dinner.
