HP Bella's Lie

57 - Visiting Future

The knock on the door was regular and restrained, and Bella froze in place, only hearing her heart beating violently, trying to break free from her chest.

I don't know how long it took, as if it had been a year, but in fact, it took less than 3 minutes, and the knocking on the door stopped.

Bella waited, wiped away the tears on her face, approached the door in a panic, and looked through the cat's eyes. An old man stood outside, didn't knock on the door, but didn't leave either.

Appears to be an ordinary Muggle.Bella settled down, adjusted her breathing to calm herself down, and looked at him carefully.

With a stooped body, thin silver hair, and a black cane that is common among Muggle gentlemen, he looks like a decent old man.

Why are Muggles visiting this house where RT's biggest secrets and memories are hidden?

The performance of the old Muggle does not seem to be simply visiting his neighbors. What does his abnormality explain... Could it be related to the former "Bella"?

When I think of this concept, my heart is stabbed suddenly, sharply.

Bella clenched her hands tightly, staring unblinkingly at the old Muggle man outside the cat's eyes.

The old man lost his mind for a while, then turned around and planned to leave.In a panic, Bella opened the door regardless: "Wait!"

The old man turned around in surprise and looked at Bella's appearance.

"You...you are..."

Bella didn't know what to say for a while, and said unnaturally: "Ah, I happened to come over to be a guest, may I ask you something..."

"Ma'am...Mrs. Riddle!" The old man suddenly noticed something, and exclaimed in a low voice, "You're still alive!"

"I..." Bella choked for a moment, seeing his shocked expression, she reacted quickly, "Do you want to come in and sit down?"

The old man followed her into the house, and Bella closed the door and sat back on the sofa.The old man's eyes followed her all the time, full of incredible nostalgia.

Bella could feel that he was deeply immersed in his emotions, which made her embarrassment disappear unknowingly, and even realized that this was an excellent opportunity to talk.

She tried her best to temporarily forget those chaotic histories, and her brain was running fast, thinking about how to open her mouth to get more truth.

"Sir... are you here to see Mrs Riddle?"

"No, ma'am...you are Mrs. Riddle!" The old man burst into tears suddenly, "How many years... I have finally waited until this day... I am incompetent, ma'am, I have not been able to fulfill your entrustment... Since ten Since years ago, I have been visiting this resident twice a week, but unfortunately I have never received a response. After all these years, I have not been able to wait for the heir with the designated name. Your legacy is now with me, It's time to return it."

He took out a key from his pocket, and when he handed it to Bella, the rusty key suddenly looked brand new as if it had been stripped of a coat, and the shape of the key teeth changed into another shape.

"That's right! Apart from uttering the spell, only the maker of the reserved key can hold its true form... Mrs. Riddle, you are still alive! But, I didn't expect that you not only have magical abilities, but also can rejuvenate your youth ! Compared with you, I have one foot in the coffin."

Bella stared blankly at the key, not wanting to accept it, but she had to realize that the moment she got it, she took it for granted that she knew its purpose and origin.I don't have any relevant memories, but I know it well.

"My... legacy..."

Is it what is described in that notebook?Is this person in front of you the person "she" entrusted?

"You are……"

"It's me, ma'am. Edgar Hasbrouck, or as you prefer to call me... eh."

Something burst out like sparks from the depths of her mind, and Bella suddenly felt something hot in her chest.

After touching it, it was the time-turner she had hung on her chest all year round, a gift from him.

Suddenly there is a glimmer of understanding.It's a pity that it's too shallow, and it's gone with the wind.

"Maybe you don't remember me anymore," eh said after handing over the key, as if he had finished the last thing on his mind, "but this is the last task you entrusted to me, now it is finally over, and I can leave this world with peace of mind .”

He stood up and walked slowly and arduously with his hunched body leaning on crutches, but he was firm and unwavering.When he got to the door, he turned around.

"Good-bye, ma'am. I wish you happiness."

It wasn't until the door was closed for a long time that Bella recovered from the daze.

eh...it is the estate executor mentioned in that notebook.It is true, everything in it is true.Inheritance, houses, old people...everything is exactly as described in the notes.

The key to the door leading to the rt manor has a perfect explanation.

She already believed in time travel.

I couldn't tell whether it was sadness or pain, but the tears came down suddenly, flowing smoothly and smoothly.She sat on the sofa blankly, weeping silently.

After an unknown amount of time, the neural network sent a call.

"Bella."

I have heard the voice countless times, and I am so familiar with it that I have formed a conditioned reflex, and I know who is standing behind me without looking at it——

"v..." She turned her head slowly, and found his face whose expression could not be seen clearly from her hazy field of vision, "I...I..." She murmured and didn't know what to say, she just felt full of sadness and distress, but couldn't Talk to him.What would happen if he knew the secret of the notes?Will his love, his tenderness, his affection, everything still exist?After all, does he really, really love her?

"Why did you come here?" The man's breath invaded, and gently wiped away the tears on her face, "Who bullied you, huh?"

If not... then what is it?

Bella shook her head vigorously, speaking incoherently: "There is no... people. It's you... you..."

Rt held her face in his hands, examined her expression carefully, and concluded: "Okay, let him go this time. Anyway, that Muggle won't live long."

"You...you know?"

"Well, you mean Hasbrouck, or... eh?" Rt lightly stroked her cheek, and suddenly showed a very charming smile, "I know, all of them."

Before Bella could figure it out, she was brought back to the rt manor with apparition.

"You are very confused now..." His chin rested lightly on the top of her head, "Tell me, what do you want to know?"

Bella's lips parted slightly, but she didn't know what to say.

RT felt her shaking, let go of her and kissed: "Then give you time, think about it. Remember, I love you."

Bella's heart was shocked, and she suddenly didn't dare to look him in the eyes.He fled back to the room in embarrassment, his heart was beating painfully, and he leaned against the door to calm down for a long time.

In the past, when she heard the confession, Bella would only feel extremely sweet, and she had always been convinced of his true feelings.But after knowing the truth in the notes, she suddenly became unsure.

rt loves Bella, no doubt about it.

But who is Bella?

Travel through time and space and accompany his childhood Bella; or reborn and enjoy his beloved Bella?Are they all Bella?Was she... Bella?

RT extended his love to "Bella" because he believed in "Bella"'s last words, but the notes blatantly stated that it was just a beautiful lie of the former Bella before her death.

She enjoys the almost perfect love brought by this lie.But once rt knew that she wasn't the Bella she used to be at all... just thinking about it would be painful.

The sky was covered tightly by layers of dark clouds, not a single ray of light leaked out.Bella sat by the window, looking at the hazy sky, thinking about it for a long time, but her mood calmed down.

The sound of rumbling thunder came from the distant sky. As he flipped through the documents in his hand, he stayed on this page for a long time without reading it.His mind was concentrated on the door of the bedroom, and some turbulent thoughts were spinning in his head, seemingly colliding with the soft heartstrings.

It was a torment for him.

RT slowed down and slowed down before he could barely restrain the urge to break in.Although the surface is calm, the inner anxiety is constantly tumbling and boiling.

Time passed so slowly and painfully, when the sound of Bella opening the door came, rt thought he was hallucinating.

The girl walked up to him with an unexpectedly calm expression.

"Are we really going to get engaged?"

Didn't expect her to ask this question, rt was taken aback before answering: "Of course."

"Then, what about marriage?"

"My bride will only be you, Bella." This time RT regained his composure and said softly.

"Yeah." Bella nodded, showing an unusually soft and sweet smile, "That's enough."

The girl hooked her finger towards him and leaned over obediently, hearing the most magical sentence in the world.

"I love you."

Bella took the initiative to kiss his side cheek with the shyness unique to a girl.

Just let her forget for a moment those terrible truths.

At least now, she wants to tell him her true heart.

before it's all over.

RT hugged her passionately.

"I won't make you sad, Bella."

--I promise.

Scarlet light shone in his eyes, like a bottomless abyss of purgatory.
