Mason's eyes narrowed slightly; he understood that Louis meant he had something to say to Bella Green.
He glanced at Bella and, seeing her give a slight nod, agreed.
He might not like Louis, but he knew that in this family, the only one who wouldn't ignore Bella was Louis.
As for Louis having risked his life several times to save Bella before, it wasn't as if he didn't know…
It was just that this brother‑in‑law of his seemed even harder to read than that father‑in‑law.
He withdrew his assessing gaze from Louis and spoke softly to Bella.
"Call me if anything happens."
Louis chuckled, greeted the old Mr. Lawrence, then left with Bella.
Mason, on the other hand, stayed behind to chat with the old man.
