Ch. 31..40

Bride of Mr. Billion Chapter 31

Bella’s POV

Herbert appeared at the banquet, but there was no Intersection between Us, just like two strangers.

But I don’t mind.

I found a quiet corner to enjoy myself.

In other words, it was better to enjoy the delicious food than to get others’ attention.

I saw Emma in the crowd.

She wore a very exaggerated dress today She wore a golden dress with her back exposed, which almost exposed her buttocks. Although she was vulgar, she still attracted a lot of people’s attention.

At the end of the meal, the host began the game “Everyone, our first game today is to carry balloons One of the two boxes has a card with the names of the ladies present, and the other one has a card with the names of the men present.

I choose five men and five women randomly If you’re picked, sland on the stage!” The host stood in front of two transparent boxes full of cards and said.

The competition of carrying balloons was between a man and a woman in a group Neither of them could use their hands nor let the balloons fall to the ground. The two of them would use their bodies to carry the balloons from the starting point to the finish point, and the group with the most balloons would win.

This game was a test of their coordinations. Of course, it was mainly about creating an ambiguous relationship between men and women to make fun of each other. Therefore, the atmosphere at the

ene was very active All the men were looking forward to being selected

There were four pairs of men and women standing on the stage soon. I thought that this small probability had nothing to do with me After all, it was very unlikely for me to win five out of a hundred female employees. But it was such a coincidence that the last one was me!

"The fifth lady is.. Bella!” The host shouted on the stage.

I stepped onto the stage in a daze.

The host continued. “Now I’m going to select the last man…”

At this time, the host raised the microphone in his hand and said in an emotional tone, “Everyone, our Boss, Mr Wharton, is also participating in this game, so the partner of the fifth lady is our Mr. Wharton Now, welcome Mr Wharton!”

Standing on the stage. I saw Herbert, who was stepping on the stage, and stunned, “lam actually in the same team as him? God, why do I feel that my heart is beating so last?”

Herbert quickly stood beside me. Just as the staff was preparing the balloon, I suddenly heard his deep voice “Don't be nervous. Let’s take the first place.”

In the blink of an eye. I saw no expression on his face, but his eyes were gentle, not as cold as before I haven’t seen him for a few days, but his character has changed?

The next moment from the corner of my eye. I suddenly saw a sharp gaze in the crowd staring at me The gaze was different from ordinary envy, jealousy, and hatred, but it was a kind of resentful light.

That was the gaze of Emma.

That kind of expression was as if she couldn’t pull me off the stage. Her fierce look was as if I had eaten the meat in her bowl.

The angrier that woman was, the happier I was.

I pretended to be very happy

Sure enough, Emma’s face was distorted.

Looking at her angry face, I found it funny.

Soon, the game began!

In the beginning. I was in the front, and Herbert was in the back. The balloon was stuck between my butt and Herbert’s lower abdomen. This action aroused everyone’s laughter.

But it was too slow. Later, we changed our strategy. We faced each other, and the balloon was stuck between our abdomen. We held hands and kept the same steps and movements.

His big hands were really warm. My hands were wrapped in his big hands, and my face and his face almost touched.

At this moment. I suddenly felt that a deer was constantly hitting my heart, and my face turned red. I didn’t dare to look up into his eyes. His warm breath had sprayed on my face, making me feel itchy Just when I was distracted for a moment, the balloon fell down a little bit.

This made me afraid to continue thinking about other things.

There were constant cheers in my ears. The last pair would be punished. He must not lose!

We cooperated well. Although we were not the first, we were still in the second position. I thought we didn’t need 10 worry about it, but something unexpected happened.

“Ah…” I accidentally sprained my ankle and sat on the ground in an indecent posture.

There was an uproar over the scene. I was so embarrassed that my face turned red. Why did I want to wear this pair of three-inch high heels today?

At this time, a pair of strong arms helped me up. I looked up and happened to see the handsome face of Herbert.

“How is it?” He frowned, as if he was worried about me.

“I’m fine” I shook my head.

His expression softened.

The competition was about to end We were the last I took his arm and said anxiously, “We‘re the last one Let’s continue” Herbert shook his head and made a gesture to the host, indicating that he should give up the competition

“Why should I give up?” I asked discontentedly. I didn’t want to be punished, although I didn't know.

what punishment was?

Herbert suddenly put his arm around my shoulder. I heard him say. “Don’t be stubborn Don’t forget the baby in your belly”

Hearing this, I had to accept my fate.

Fortunately, I didn’t hurt the baby just now I just had one thought in my mind, which was that! couldn’t lose the game I forgot the fact that I was pregnant As soon as the bell rang, the game was over.

The couple who won the first place were rewarded with the latest version of the smart phone, I stood there and thought, “Could it be that the last one wants to pay for the two mobile phones? Oh my god! That’s the latest one!”

All his time, the host finally spoke. “Everyone, I now announce that the last punishment of this game is pouring a bucket of ice water!”

Although it was spring now. I would catch a cold if I was poured ice water.

“Are you ready?” After the host shouted, someone immediately came up with a large bucket of ice water, and a staff member put a chair in front of me and Herbert.

There are so many ice cubes. If all of them fall on me, what will happen to the baby if I fall 17 While I was thinking about how to refuse, Herbert was already standing in front of me.

Bride of Mr. Billion Chapter 32

Bella’s POV

Herbert took off his suit as fast as he could and covered it on my head. Then he stretched out his arms to pull me into his arms and held me tightly in front of his chest.

I opened my eyes and found that it was dark, but his arms were very tight, and my forehead was pressed against his chin I smelled something nice on him.

Screams and cheers rang in my ears. Although I couldn’t see them. I could still imagine the jealous eyes of those women.

Different from the past, this time I was not afraid of those jealous eyes.

Herbert was like a heavy mountain. At this moment, he gave me an infinite attachment and a sense of security. My heart was also filled with a warm current It seemed that I didn’t hate this man that much anymore, and the smell of his body was really pleasant

“Bring some water!” In the host’s order, a bucket of ice water was poured down.

I heard the sound of running water, but it didn’t fall on my body at all. I stretched out my arms and hugged his waist tightly. I prayed in my heart that the ice water could pour on him less. I was afraid that the big boss would get sick.

At this moment, the host said, “Mr. Wharton is truly a good boss who cares about his employees. He would rather pour all of the ice water on himself than let his female employees suffer. It’s really lucky for his employees to meet such a good boss..

A few seconds later, he gently let go of me I quickly withdrew my arm from his waist. My suit was soaked wet, and only my hair and clothes were slightly wet Herbert’s body was completely soaked. Looking at him, I was filled with gratitude.

“Your review is not bad!” he suddenly said

“What? I didn’t get it for a moment.

The corners of Herbert’s mouth curled up, and he gave me a smile Then he took his wet suit and turned to leave

I stood there in a daze “A review letter? He read the review letter written by Joey for me? Since it’s written well, then there’s no need to rewnte it?* For a moment, I was a little happy After all, I had successfully submitted this time.

When I looked at Herbert again, I saw Emma walk over to him and wipe him with a towel.

Herbert refused and pushed Emma away.

After that. Connor, and Allie, each came over to take his suits and put a bath towel on Herbert. The group of people walked in the direction of the VIP section.

I was in a good mood because Emma was rejected.

At this time, Emma came over.

“I've never seen such a shameless woman like you. You’re pregnant and yet you’re seducing another man Emma said in a mocking tone.

I held back my anger and pursed my lips into a smile “You’re not pregnant. Why can’t you seduce him successfully?

You…” Emma was angry.

I warned her Immediately. This place is full of people. Are you sure you want to fight with me here? ‘Let’s wait and see! Emma left angrily. After she left, Joey walked over She looked at her back and said, ‘This woman is like a mad dog!”

I wrapped an arm around Joey’s and said with a smile, “Don’t let her affect your mood. The juice over there is good. Let’s have another drink.”

“Alright. Joey smiled and nodded. On the way, Joey whispered, ‘I can see that the boss is very kind to you. His face changed when you fell down just now! “He just worried about the kid in my belly. Do you really think he care about me?” Although I said so! was still happy in my heart.

The way the boss was holding you was so handsome. He was protecting a princess, just like a knight from the Middle Ages!” Joey clapped her hands together, and there was obvious envy in her eyes.

I don’t know if I’m lucky or unlucky to meet Herbert. In fact, when I have him by my side. I really feel safe. Just like just now, I was like a well-protected princess o For so many years, I have been acting as a protector of my mother and sister.

Even when I was in love with my ex-boyfriend, I took more care of him. I have never enjoyed being protected and taken care of.

But what’s the relationship between us now?

“Maybe I’m just a tool for giving birth to a baby in his heart.” Thinking of this, I couldn’t help but feel a little uncomfortable. When the dinner party was about to end, the secretary of Herbert, Allie, suddenly appeared in front of me.

“Miss Stepanek, I’m a little timid, and the guest room in the VIP area is a little big. Can you accompany me tonight?” Allie said gently

I glanced at Joey. After all, if I leave, she’ll live alone. Joey signaled that she was fine, so I agreed to Allie’s request for help

Then I’ll go with you to get the suitcase now?” Allie smiled. “Okay I nodded.

When we got 10 the guest room, Allie was waiting at the door. I went into pack.

Joey pulled me aside and whispered, “I always feel that this matter is not simple.” “Why not?” I frowned.

Joey chuckled and said, “Does the boss want you to sleep with him?”

You re so annoying! You think too much I pushed her.

“trunk my guess is more and more correct, Joey said with certainty.

I bid her farewell and left with Allie with my suitcase As soon as I stepped into the door of the VIP area, the scene here shocked me. Under the soft moonlight, there was a large piece of tulips swaying in the breeze. I smelled a faint fragrance, and there was also a white lily tree not far away.

It was noble and pure, giving people a feeling of another world. There were also hot springs and swimming pools that decorated this place very well. Behind the pool and the hot spring were several exquisite and unique villas. Allie led me into one of the villas.

The decoration in the villa was very luxurious. I had never lived in such a high end villa, so I couldn’t help looking at it a few more times. I was amazed by the luxury of the rich people. Even the decoration was so exquisite.

I followed Allie into a large bedroom. The bed inside was very big, and the crystal lamp shone on the dark blue embroidered carpet. Everything was very high-end. “Is this… your room?” I asked tentatively. “Why aren’t there two single beds in the room? Does she want me to sleep in a big bed with her? | felt a little strange.

“No, this is Mr. Wharton’s room.” Allie immediately replied.

Bride of Mr. Billion Chapter 33

Bella’s POV

Was this his room? Did he really ask Allie to bring me here? So it wasn’t because of Allie?

At this moment, Allie explained, “I’m sorry, Mrs. Wharton. There were so many people just now. I could only lie. It was Mr. Wharton who asked me to bring you here.” Mrs Wharton? It turned out that Allie had known about the relationship between me and Herbert long ago. It seemed like Joey’s guess was correct.

Everything had been requested by Herbert. “There is a hot spring outside. You can go to the hot spring. If you need anything, you can call the customer service directly. I’ll go out first. Allie said politely and was about to leave the room. “Wait… I stopped Allie.

“Do you have any other orders?” Allie stopped in her tracks.

“Er… Where’s he?” I looked around and was sure that Herbert was not there. “Mr. Wharton is in the hot spring.” Allie replied politely, then left. After Allie left, I tried to sit on the big bed. The mattress was neither soft nor hard, very comfortable.

I walked to the window again and looked down at the night scene outside. I watched for a long time, but I didn’t see Herbert.

At this moment, I was a little tired, so I was going to take a shower in the bathroom.

More than ten minutes later, I stood in front of the mirror and dried my hair. But before I could put on my skin care products, the door was suddenly pushed open!

I looked up and saw that Herbert came in wearing a night robe, with wet hair on his forehead. It seemed that he had just come back from the hot spring. Ifugged at my bathrobe and forced a smile. “You‘re… back?

Herbert nodded, then turned around and closed the door. He went to bed and leaned against the bed.

It was very quiet around me. I suddenly didn’t know what to do, and my heart beat faster inexplicably. “Thank you. , for what happened today.” I broke the silence.

“How are you going to thank me?’ Herbert was looking at me.

“Ah?” I looked at Herbert, who was leaning against the bed.

At this moment, the belt of his bathrobe loosened, and I suddenly had a bad thought. “Does he really want me to sleep with him?

My cheeks suddenly became hot. “Give me a glass of water. The next moment, Herbert suddenly said.

What does he mean? Get me a glass of water as thanks? I’m a little confused.

“I'm thirsty Herbert continued.

“Oh got it. It would be easy to get a glass of water to thank him. I turned around and went to get some water.

A minute later, I went to the bed with a glass of water and respectfully handed it to Herbert with both hands.

But in the next second, he didn’t take the water glass from me Instead, he grabbed my wrist and pulled me to bed with him!

“Ah".

The cup fell on the bed, and the water came out to wet the bed sheet. I put my hands on Herbert’s chest and stared at the person above my head in panic.

“Water water spilled. As I spoke, I couldn’t help licking my lips with my tongue.

“I don’t want to drink water now.” Herbert’s voice became hoarse, and his eyes were full of desire.

I heard him say something in her ear, “I want to try your taste".

“Is he flirting with me? If it is, my heart has been melted.”

He sealed my mouth, and the belt on my bathrobe was also untied.

His hands lured out the desire in my body.

Gradually. I was completely immersed in his flirting, and my desire became stronger and stronger…

“Light turn off the lights!” I shouted in a low voice.

After he turned off the light, the room was dark Only the starlight outside the window could be seen. I couldn’t see his eyes, but I could see the outline of his face. Only then did I have the courage to reach out and touch his face.

He was very gentle, his kiss was gentle, and his movements were gentle Probably afraid of hurting the baby in my belly. I was completely immersed in his tenderness.

When he entered my body, the satisfaction that was instantly filled made me groan. In his gentle collision, I gradually reached the climax, and a white light appeared in my brain… After that, I’m very tired Herbert was sleeping with me in his arms from behind.

By the time I woke up, it was already noon.

I looked around and found that Herbert was gone. The bathrobe he wore last night was still on the chair beside the bed.

I looked at the white bathrobe and lay on the pillow, with a smile on my face. I recalled our second sex last night. My face was a little ho1, and we were very compatible. The whole process was very pleasant.

Although this wasn’t the first time we’ve made love, I really didn’t remember too much last time I really couldn’t refuse him last night, and my body was also in a state of thirst. I longed for him.

Suddenly, I saw an envelope on the bedside table, so I reached out and took it over The letter was printed with three words of review. I was afraid that this must be the review letter written by Joey for me.

I opened the envelope and took out the review letter When opened it, I couldn’t help frowning.

This this is the review letter that Joey wrote for me?

No wonder Herbert told me that he was satisfied with my reviewing. I threw the review book aside and threw myself into the quilt in annoyance.

Bride of Mr. Billion Chapter 34

Bella’s POV

The review was written like this.

My BOSS husband If my review last time was about work, then this time, my review was based on feelings. Emma was my sworn enemy, and you should understand the reason.

However, I was still able to weigh the pros and cons. I knew that I should care less about personal feelings in the company, but the way Emma did it was too annoying and unbearable She even said something that had something to do with you. I didn’t control my emotions and argued with her at that time.

I admit that I was annoyed. I was jealous. I was wondering what kind of relationship you had with her As an employee of the company. I was wrong, but as a wife, I felt that I wasn’t wrong, because this was the emotion I should have.

Your wife, Bella.

This review letter really made me shy.

When it was almost noon, I dressed up and appeared at the restaurant. Joey immediately pulled her aside and asked in a low voice. “Why are you so late? It’s almost lunchtime.” “lover slept.” I touched my face and answered.’ “Were you very hot last night?”

Joey rubbed her shoulder against mine I rolled my eyes at her, took out the review letter from my pocket, and asked, “The review letter you wrote is really disgusting.” Joey accepted the review letter. Laughing wickedly, she said, “Is Me Wharton very satisfied with my work? It took me a long time to finish writing it.”

“You let me don’t know how to face him, because my relationship with him is not very good.” When thought of those disgusting words, I felt embarrassed. “You two are at least legal husband and wife Why can’t you face it?’ Joey said, I don’t know how to explain it for the time being.

After all, we don’t have any feelings for each other At least he didn’t have much feelings for me. When he didn’t have much feelings, my enthusiasm will make me think of Emma. Good heavens, I became a woman like Emma? I knew that if I said this to Joey, she would still not understand my feelings, so I changed the subject.

“I’m hungry I turned around and got the dishes Today is a buffet, and the dishes are very sumptuous. Probably yesterday’s physical exercise was 100 energy consuming, and I didn’t have breakfast this morning.

I am really very hungry now After I took a lot of food, I suddenly saw a vessel with the words of stewed bird’s nest on it I was about to open the lid of the food vessel when a staff member came over and said with a smile “Miss, I’m sorry Today’s buffet standard is not available for bird’s nest.

“Oh, it doesn’t matter’ Hearing this, I quickly said.

That’s true. A buffet with bird’s nest food must be even more expensive

How could the company’s buffet supply such expensive ingredients?

I nodded politely and got ready to get some other food.

As soon as I turned around, I suddenly saw a figure in a black suit. I looked up and saw Herbert ! panicked and slipped, almost falling down Fortunately, he helped me up.

“Why are you always in trouble?” Herbert frowned and said in a blaming tone.

I was annoyed and a little unhappy. I immediately raised my hand and pushed away Herbert’s hand. “It won’t happen again.” After that, I turned and left.

Sitting in my seat, I couldn’t help but peek at Herbert. Last night’s memories flooded me, and my cheeks became hot.

Suddenly, Joey asked, “Did something happen last night? Something’s wrong with you today!”

I admitted directly. “At night, a grown man and a woman, in a room or on a bed, nothing happened. Is that possible?”

‘Tell me the details!” Joey continued to ask.

“Food can’t even stop your babbling!” I stuffed a piece of chicken into Joey’s mouth with a fork.

Joey stared at me with a wicked grin as she chewed. “Yeah, it’s delicious!”

I rolled my eyes at Joey helplessly, feeling that she was really annoying now.

At this moment, the Special Assistant Connor, who was having dinner with Herbert, suddenly stood up. He cleared his throat and said, “Everyone, today, we’re going to add food to everyone’s dishes. Each of you will have a cup of special bird’s nest imported from Malaysia. Everyone, enjoy it!

As soon as these words were said, all the staff present were excited, because each cup of special bird’s nest soup imported from Malaysia cost hundreds of dollars.

Hearing this, I raised my head and looked in the direction of Herbert. He was eating silently with his head down, with no expression on his face “The bird’s nest is imported from Malaysia. How can we eat it normally? The big boss is so generous to you,” Joey said excitedly.

I lowered my head and said nothing. I wanted to open the bowl of bird’s nest just now, but it should have been seen by Herbert. If he only ordered for me, it would be too conspicuous, so he ordered a cup for everyone present. At this moment, my heart was actually warm, very happy.

“Bella, you’ve become the person I’m most envious of. You’re so happy. Joey continued. I was a little shy and wanted to change the subject. “Maybe he just wants to take care of the baby in my belly.

Joey said, “Then why did he drive Emma away? Is it because the baby in your belly hates that woman?

Joey’s words confused me. “What did you say? Who drove Emma away? I looked around and really didn’t see Emma in the past, at this time, she must have gone to Herbert’s place in fancy clothes.

“What? You still don’t know? Early this morning, Emma was sent back by the vehicle derties arranged by Connor, and tears were about to flow out from her eyes However, Connor’s attitude is extremely unyielding, replied glanced in the direction of Herbert.

He was still eating elegantly, but there was a wave of emotion in my heart I had never thought that he would send Emma away Was it for me? At this time, Joey leaned forward and teased, “It seems that you must have done very well last night Today, our Mr Wharton is in a good mood!”

“Nonsense.” I looked away and touched my face, feeling that it was getting hotter and hotter “What nonsense? I saw him running this morning with a smile on his face. He must be in a good mood! Joey said with a smile. I lowered my head and thought, “I was very tired last night He still has the strength to run. It seems that his body is too strong. Now I can still remember his strong waist…”

Bride of Mr. Billion Chapter 35

Bella’s POV

On Saturday afternoon, the employees visited the beautiful scenery of Moon Bay under the guidance of the resort’s reception.

I didn’t see Herbert in the whole afternoon. I still didn’t see him until dinner time. I was a little disappointed.

Suddenly, Joey chuckled and whispered into my ear, “What’s wrong? You‘ve missed your boss?

“I’m just a little tired. I didn’t deny Joey’s teasing.

Joey immediately said. “To be honest, you’ve been wandering around for half a day this afternoon You’re tired Go back and rest quickly. Baby is the most important thing now.”

Yes” I nodded. I got up and walked towards the VIP area.

I entered the door of the VIP area and saw the secretary of Herbert, Allie, walking over with a thick folder in her arms.

“Hello, madam.” Allie greeted me.

In private. Allie addressed me as his wife, respectfully and politely. On public occasions, she treated me equally and didn’t give me any preferential treatment. Maybe this was why Allie was trusted by Herbert, because she was really very reliable in doing things, and she could also understand Herbert’s requirements.

“You haven’t eaten yet? Just now in the restaurant, I didn’t seem to see Allie either.

Allie lowered her head to look at the document in her arms. She said, “Mr. Wharton wants me to quickly scan the document I have to finish my work before I can eat.”

i frowned and thought, “Is he still working?”

Alle seemed to have seen through my doubts. She immediately said, “After lunch, Mr. Wharton went back with Connor There’s an important project over there that needs him.”

Hearing these words. I understood. No wonder I didn’t see him and Connor for an entire afternoon and a whole night. It turned out that they had already gone back.

“Then I’ll go back to my work.” Allie smiled at me and left quickly.

Looking at Allie’s back, I suddenly felt a little lost.

Go back? There were more than two hours journey between the two places. It seemed that he would not come back tonight.

I felt a little disappointed at the thought of not seeing him tonight.

I went back to my room and took a shower. Then I turned off the lights and went to sleep. After all, i was really tired today.

When I was in a daze, I heard a faint sound of footsteps, followed by the rustling of clothes.

Then a strong arm behind me pulled me into a warm chest, and I woke up completely.

Without looking back, I knew that the person behind me was Herbert. His strong arms and unique aura could be recognized by me as soon as I saw him.

I looked up at the dark sky outside It should be very late.

“You Why are you back?” I couldn’t help asking my own question.

Now it was estimated that it was already one or two o’clock in the middle of the night it was too dangerous and too tired for him to drive back in the middle of the night Besides, there was no work waiting for him here.

Could it be that he was missing me? The thought came to my mind and I was shocked!

Was I overestimating myself? Would an outstanding man like him fall in love with me? My face couldn’t help but have a fever.

“Oh, I feel that the air here is good, so I came here to rest. The person behind hesitated for a moment and answered.

His reason was too far-fetched, because he drove back in the middle of the night just for the fresh air here?

His reason was unreasonable, but I didn’t continue to ask.

Night, it’s quiet. We didn’t speak anymore. I couldn’t help but feel sleepy again. I only felt that my neck was being rubbed by a furry thing.

It was Herbert’s head.

“Does he want to tease me again?

Although I haven’t had an obvious pregnancy reaction yel. I can’t bear his entanglement for two consecutive nights.

I couldn’t help saying, “No… no more!”

“No more what? Herbert’s voice was very charming.

1. I have a baby in my belly, so I can’t bear your desire.” When I said this, my cheeks were hot.

As soon as I finished speaking, the person behind me said, This afternoon, I negotiated with the person in charge of a company for eight hours After dinner. I directly drove here I am very sleepy now Even if you have any desires now. I can’t satisfy you.”

This man was obviously flirting with me on purpose, but now he said that it was my desire?

I turned around and raised my little fist to hit his chest. You’re so annoying.

Herbert laughed and let me beat him on the chest a few times, and then I was lightly held in his arms.

My face was pressed against his muscular chest. At this moment, I suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of happiness.

Perhaps he was really tired, and soon I heard the steady breathing of Herbert Under the moonlight. I looked up and found that he was indeed asleep. l was the first time that I could look at him without any scruples .

He was really handsome. Although sometimes his words were not pleasant, sometimes he was very considerate.

I never dreamed of marrying such a man. Although I don’t know how long this man can be my husband, at least at this moment, I am enjoying his warmth and hug I didn’t know how long I looked at this handsome face before going to sleep I only knew that I woke up late the next morning.

When I woke up, he was gone again The sun was shining brightly outside I sat up and stretched I felt that I had a good sleep last night In my sleep. I was hugged by a pair of strong arms. It really gave me a sense of security.

As soon as I got up and opened the curtains, the phone in the room rang.

I walked to the bedside and picked up the phone. Allie’s voice came from the other end. “Madam, are you awake? The breakfast is ready. Do you need the waiter to send it to your room now?”

“Thank you. Ask the waiter to bring it here,” I said. “Okay.” The other end of the phone was about to hang up. I quickly asked in the last second, “Well… where did he go?” “Ah?” Allie was stunned for a moment, and then she said, “This morning, at nine o’clock in the morning, there was a ribbon-cutting ceremony.

That’s why he left with Connor at half-past six.” What? He’s back in J City again? I can’t come to my senses at once. So he had only slept for more than four hours last night?

Bride of Mr. Billion Chapter 36

Bella’s POV

Herbert came back by car at two o’clock last night and left at half-past six this morning Since he knew that he still had work to do this morning, why did he spend more than four hours driving back and forth? Did he just come to see me?

Thinking of this, my heart began to beat fast…

Today’s breakfast was very sumptuous. While enjoying the delicious food, I was missing Herbert. I found that I began to like him.

The activities this morning were also very rich, but I was not in a good state all morning, so I hardly participated in activities.

I didn’t have an appetite during lunch.

Joey said, “What’s wrong with you today? Didn’t you see the big boss? Are you in low spirits?” Only then did I realize why I lost my spirits today. I retorted instinctively, “What are you talking about? I’m pregnant now! Of course, I’m not in a good state!”

Joey didn’t continue to ask, “I thought you would be confused by Mr. Wharton in two days!”

“No!” I continued to refute.

In fact, I’ve admitted that I’ve fallen in love with Herbert.

But that’s my character.

Before I confirm my relationship with Herbert, I may be able to maintain this state all the time.

I don’t like a one-sided confirmation of feelings.

Just like my mother, everyone knows how much she loves my father.

But everyone knew how much my father disliked her.

The person who paid too much seemed to be the one who was always injured.

I don’t want to be too active.

While I was chatting with Joey, a female colleague came over and said with a smile, Joey, Bella, you not only have a free trip this time but also earned several thousand bucks. Should you treat our colleagues in the finance department when come back?”

As soon as these words came out, several colleagues of the finance department came over and said that I and Joey had earned their money and asked us to spend money to comfort their wounded hearts.

Joey laughed as she sat down. “If we’re willing to bel, we’ll admit defeat, okay? We were the ones who bel on the fact that Mr. Wharton came to the resort, and the one you bet on is Mr. Wharton won’t come!”

“You guys are too petty, aren’t you? Each of you has won four to three thousand dollars, and each of you can take out a Intle to treat us to barbecuel” colleague B stood up and teased.

Joey was about to say something when I patted her on the shoulder, stood up, and said in a loud voice, “It’s just a treat It’s a piece of cake. Barbecure is great. You guys can’t change the menu!”

“Just barbecue and beer I” said colleagues.

Okay, tomorrow night!” I said boldly.

At this moment, the atmosphere suddenly became serious. Before I could react, a colleague called out, “Mr. Wharton!” Hearing this name, I was stunned. I slowly turned my head and saw Herbert standing behind me with a very ugly expression.

“Mr Wharton.” I hurriedly greeted him, then lowered my head.

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw that Herbert’s expression was getting worse and worse, and I was very nervous.

After Herbert left, colleagues began to talk about it. “Is Mr. Wharton unhappy that we’re using him as a bet?” “Oh, our finance department has offended him.” “Can’t he be this petty?” Hearing these words, I was also very nervous. The face of Herbert just now was really ugly.

Was he really angry? “Do you think he will mind if I take him as a bet?” I asked Joey for help. Joey shook her head. It’s your bad luck. You won 4,000 but offended the big boss. It’s not worth it.” “Then what should we do?” tugged at my long hair anxiously.

“Say something sweet and find a way to make him happy.’ Joey said with a smile. I frowned and said awkwardly, “I can’t do it.” Joey said anxiously. “Why can‘t? You are a legal couple.”

I pursed my lips and said nothing. I’m a little annoyed. Didn’t he go to work? Why did he come back at noon?

“I’m really unlucky. How could I happen to let him hear me?”

After lunch, everyone was packing up and preparing to return. I was no exception. I went to the VIP area to pack my luggage.

As soon as I entered the villa, I looked up and saw Allie standing in the living room, with my suitcase beside her.

Allie said with a smile, “Madam, your luggage has been packed.” I looked at my suitcase, took it, and looked upstairs. In the end, I couldn’t help but ask, “Is… is he gone?”

“They’ve already left,” Allie replied.

Hearing this, I nodded and forced a smile. After saying goodbye to Allie. I took my luggage and left.

At this moment, I felt an unspeakable pain in my heart.

Although we don’t love each other for the time being. I hope to see him and miss him so much.

And it was indeed my fault.

If he showed up now, I would definitely apologize to him.

Herbert’s POV A

I stood upstairs and watched Bella leave.

At this moment, the sound of high heels could be heard. Allie walked in and said, “Mr. Wharton Madame is already on the bus.”

I lowered my head and pondered for two seconds. Then I said, “Call the driver and tell him to drive slower and more slowly.” “Yes.” Allie replied and left I lit a cigarette and looked out of the window in a gloomy mood. Ever since this girl appeared, my heart has been disturbed.

I don’t know if it’s because of her temperament or her appearance. Thinking back to last night’s work, my mind was full of her, so even if I knew that I had work in the morning, even if I knew that it would take me four hours to drive back and forth. BUT I’M BACK.

In order to see her, to hug her. I thought about it again. That night, she asked me if I came to the resort together. I was very happy at that time. So I took part in the resort because of her.

But her purpose was not only to let me appear. Instead, it was a ridiculous bet? The scar at the bottom of my heart began to hurt again. I suddenly took a drag on my cigarette and put it out in the ashtray.

Bride of Mr. Billion Chapter 37

Bella’s POV

The next day, I was in a bad mood for the whole morning in my office.

Last night, he didn’t go home.

He was really angry!

I only hope to arrive earlier at noon.

I’ll go to the Green restaurant at noon to have lunch. I should be able to see Herbert. I’ll apologize to him then.

It was finally noon. As soon as I got off work, I immediately carried my bag and went to the Green restaurant.

Connor was currently standing in front of the door, his expression a bit strange.

“Hi, Connor.” I greeted Connor, and then stepped inside. Connor instead reached out his hand to stop me.

I looked at him in confusion.

Lowe explained, “Madam, Miss Briden is inside.” I looked at Connor in astonishment, then looked at the door in front of me. I had a feeling that it wasn’t a good thing for him to bring Emma here at this time.

Then, I stepped forward and gently pushed the door open.

As soon as the door opened, I saw Herbert sitting side by side with Emma. Herbert was wearing a white shirt, and his face seemed a little red. He must have drunk some wine. Emma was sitting in front of him in a red V-neck shirt. Her collar had been opened to her chest, and her face was full of smiles.

The two of them sat very intimately.

Al this moment, I suddenly felt a pain in my heart. I didn’t understand why the man who could still hold me to sleep two days ago could be so intimate with other women now.

“Herbert, have a taste of this fish. It’s very delicious!” Emma said.

At this time, Herbert looked up at me.

I’m sure he saw me.

The next second, I heard him say. “You are so beautiful today.”

Emma touched her face excitedly and said, “Really? Is my clothes beautiful or my face?”

Herbert replied, ‘The clothes are beautiful.”

He paused for a moment and continued, “You‘re more beautiful.” Grinning, she gently pushed backward on Herbert’s chest…

I don’t want to watch anymore.

I withdrew my hand. The door was closed, but I could still hear the laughter Inside

I slowly turned around and looked in the direction of the exit. “Please let Mr. Wharton know. I’ll have lunch by myself in the future.”

Before Connor could reply, I already turned around and left. I was scared that I would shed tears in front of him. I ran out of the restaurant.

I looked up at the sky, but in the end, I didn’t let my tears fall out of my eyes. I told myself, “I can’t shed tears. In fact, I had already expected today’s situation when I was getting the marriage certificate with Herbert.

Why am I still so stupid to want to give my feelings to him? He is a man who has gathered all his glory. How could he like an ordinary woman like me?”

“We just got involved because of an accident. In the future, I can treat him as the father of the child. As for everything else, we can just take it as acting.”

And the two days at the resort, it was just a dream. I’m about to wake up from my dream…

Herbert’s POV

I don’t know who told Emma that I’ll be in this restaurant at noon.

When she came here specially, it was the lunchtime of Bella and me. I knew Bella was outside, so I deliberately got close to Emma. In fact, I just wanted to confirm something. I wanted to confirm that if Bella really cares about me.

If a person really liked someone, he or she would not accept the other party being intimate with someone else.

Just like my hostility toward Hank.

I’ve been waiting.

I was waiting for Bella to rush in and question me or be angry with us.

But she didn’t.

She left alone. The sense of loss made me very uncomfortable. I looked down at the watch on my wrist. Bella had been gone for five minutes. She should have gone far.

I stood up and said to Emma, “I have a date at the last minute. You can eat by yourself.” Emma quickly got up, took my arm, and said with a smile, “Herbert, you have to have meal first if you have other dates.

You will have a stomachache if you do this.’ I pushed her hand away and said, ‘I’m leaving now.’ After that, I turned and walked out of the room.

Connor and I walked into the elevator, one after the other. I asked, “What kind of reaction does she have?”

“Let me tell you she’ll have lunch on her own in the future.” Connor replied.

Hearing this, I couldn’t help frowning Just then, Connor said, ‘Mr. Wharton, it’s very obvious that you care very much about your wife Seeing her sad, you actually feel very uncomfortable.”

You talk a bit too much today” i glared at Connor, and then he didn’t dare to say anything else.

Ding..

We reached the first floor. Before we walked out of the elevator, I said, “Send her a seafood meal in your name.”

“Yes,’ he replied respectfully.

Bella’s POV

I took a walk outside the office building. About half an hour later, I returned to the office.

A plate of seafood risotto appeared on my table. The text message from Connor told me the risotta was from him. I don’t have any appetite. Sitting in front of the desk and looking at the seafood risotto in front of me, I had no appetite at all. At this time, Joey came over and said, “Boss also knows that you like seafood most?” My mood was a bit dejected.

I forced myself to brace myself and said, “It was Connor who saw that I didn’t eat anything to help me decide.” “Does everyone around the boss know that you like seafood? The boss must have asked them to order it for you, right?” Joey asked curiously.

Joey’s words reminded me. How did Connor know that I loved seafood? Only Herbert had met Hank who had once sent me seafood. Connor never know what I liked to eat. Could it be…

I didn’t dare to think further. In fact, Herbert saw me going to the restaurant just now. But he insisted on being intimate with Emma in front of me. Did he do it on purpose?

But why did he do this? Just to make me unhappy?

Thinking of this, I seemed to understand it all of a sudden. He was taking revenge on me because I used him as a bet and annoyed him. So now he was using Emma to attack me. Thinking of this, I became even angrier.

I’ve used him as a bet. I admit that I’ve done something wrong and I’m ready to apologize to him.

But what did he mean by that?

Did he want to cheat on me? “That’s too much! I won’t eat the seafood he gave me,” I said. “You don’t want to eat it. Many other people want to eat this seafood meal!” Joey teased. “If you’re willing, take it!”

I pushed the seafood rice to Joey. “Someone didn’t order it for me. I won’t eat it!” Joey pushed the seafood rice to me again. The flavor of seafood was very strong, which was usually my favorite.

This time, when I smelled the smell of seafood, my stomach was rolling. Then I suddenly stood up, covered my mouth and ran out

Then I went into the bathroom and began to vomit painfully…

Bride of Mr. Billion Chapter 38

Bella’s POV

From that day on, I had a very strong pregnancy reaction.

No matter what I ate, I would spit it out Moreover, I couldn’t smell a little pungent or strong smell, otherwise, I would have more symptoms of vomiting.

I was so listless that I lost weight in a few days.

This morning, the manager handed over a document to me and instructed. This is the financial report from last month You must immediately deliver it to Mr. Wharton”

When I heard that I was going to send a report to Herbert, I couldn’t help frowning. I was a little resistant I didn’t want to see him now.

The manager’s tone was a little dissatisfied. This task is very easy. I have tried my best to take care of you, not letting you work overtime, not letting you do too hard work. But you have to understand me”.

“No problem. I just want to see if there’s anything wrong with this report I quickly found a reason After all, work is work, and personal feelings are personal feelings.

I can’t delay my work because of personal feelings Besides, I can directly give the report to his secretary, Allie. I don’t necessarily have to meet with him.

I picked up the report and walked out of the finance department’s office.

Walking to the president’s office, I put the report on Allie’s desk with a smile “Allie, this is the financial report from last month. Please take it to Mr Wharton as soon as possible.

“Mr Wharton is inside Won’t you personally bring it in?” Allie took the report and laughed.

I shook my head and said, ‘I still have a lot of things to do. Please take them in for me.”

“Okay Allie nodded.

At this time, the door of the president’s office suddenly opened, and an enchanting woman in a red low-collar shirt and a black short skirt came out.

It was Emma.

I felt a little uncomfortable. “It seems that the couple has been on good terms these days?” I turned around and was about to leave, but Emma blocked my way “What do you want to do?”

I asked Emma crossed her arms in front of her chest and said sarcastically. “Anyway, we are sisters. It’s not too much to say something when we meet, is it?” “Humph, I don’t want to be your sister said bluntly.

Emma laughed coldly “Since you’ve said that, then don’t blame me for not taking care of you in the affairs of the Wharton Group in the future”

I looked up and found it ridiculous You? Take care of me?

Emma immediately said in a very haggard voice. “I have a good relationship with Herbert now I’m very likely to be the boss’ wife of the Wharton Group in the future. If you make me unhappy, I’ll fire you immediately!”

“Haha “My Lord’s words made me laugh.

This woman really had a good feeling about herself. Did she think that he would marry her after flirting with her for a while? How ridiculous! Besides, even if he wanted to marry her, he had to divorce me first.

What are you laughing at? Emma asked me. *I’m laughing at you for being silly. What you just said is the funniest joke I’ve ever heard this year I said.

Hearing my words, Emma was irritated. She immediately said, “Bella, are you jealous of me? You’re an ugly woman now Which man will like you? By the way, don’t you have a baby in your belly?

Where’s the father of your child? Why didn’t he come to marry you? I think your man has a wife or a poor man without a car or a house? “Will I be jealous of you? Humph…oh.

Before I could finish my words, I felt my stomach churning I only want to vomit in the bathroom now. I don’t have time to quarrel with Emma.

I vomited in the bathroom for a long time and felt very uncomfortable.

I helped myself to the toilet and relaxed a little. Then I stood up and looked at myself in the mirror.

Sure enough, my face was yellow and very ugly, and I didn’t dare to put on makeup to cover my pale face, so I couldn’t help feeling a little uncomfortable.

No wonder even Emma Briden said that I was an ugly woman now. No wonder Herbert had no interest in me at all, and he was also involved with a vulgar woman.

I suffered a strong blow.

But on second thought. “Why should I be unhappy with those two people?”

One is my enemy, and the other is just the father of the child in my belly

I must not let these two bad guys affect my emotions. So, I threw the tissue in my hand into the trash can I turned around, raised my head, and walked out of the bathroom with my back straight.

A third party’s POV

Everything outside the office was seen by Herbert in the president’s office. He turned around, picked up the phone, and dialed secretary Allie

Ask the security guard to tell that Emma Briden to leave immediately. Herbert’s face was full of annoyance.

Yes. Allie hurriedly replied.

“In addition, isn’t there a very authoritative magazine that wants to invite me to an interview? Contact them and tell them that I have time in the afternoon, and I want to go to the latest issue.” said Herbert.

Allie hesitated for a moment, then asked, “Mr. Wharton, didn’t you say that you wouldn’t accept an entertainment exclusive interview?

I've changed my mind now Do I need your approval?’ Herbert’s tone was extremely cold.

Yes I understand Allie said as she hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Allie saw that Emma had left.

Ring… Ring…

At this time, the phone rang again.

Allie lowered her head and saw that it was the president who had called her. She did not dare to neglect him and quickly picked up the phone.

“I don’t want to see Emma Briden anymore. If she comes again, you’ll keep her outside!” After that, he hung up the phone.

Allie didn’t even have the chance to say a word. Gently putting down the phone, she shook her head again. It seemed like that Emma had truly caused a great deal of trouble for Mr. Wharton. In addition, it could be seen that in Mr. Wharton’s heart, this married wife of the president seemed to hold quite a high position.

Bride of Mr. Billion Chapter 39

Bella’s POV

For more than a week, my pregnancy reaction was very serious. I would throw up whatever I ate. This feeling was worse than death. But I didn’t give up work. After all, I still had a younger sister and a mother to take care of me.

Although I was pregnant with the baby of Herbert, my family had nothing to do with him.

During the lunch break, all her colleagues went out to eat. I rested on the table alone. Every day. i took advantage of this period of rest and asked Joey to bring back something for me to eat. After all, I had no appetite at all.

Just as I was about to fall asleep, I suddenly heard a faint sound of footsteps. I looked up and saw a man in a black suit walking in.

Herbert walked to my desk and said, “Your pregnancy reaction is very serious. Take leave and go home to rest. I haven’t seen Herbert for a few days. In addition, when I thought of the intimate action between him and Emma, my heart instantly burned with anger. “I’m not a rich man like you. I won’t have a salary if I ask for leave. Our family still needs such a salary to live!”

Herbert put one hand in his pocket and sneered. “I heard you won several grands by gambling. It should be enough for you to live for a while.”

It turns out that he’s still holding a grudge and leaving me behind to flirt with Emma because of this?

No, I can’t accept it.

I said on purpose, Yes. I bet with someone, but I didn’t steal or rob. Is it illegal?”

With that, I stopped looking at him. The next second, I saw a bank card thrown directly on my desk.

“I’m not here to quarrel with you. This card can cash 100,000 dollars per month, which is enough for you and your family’s living expenses every month,” said Herbert.

His words irritated me, and I stood up directly. “Herbert, what do you mean? Do you think you can buy everything with money?” Herbert said impatiently. “Isn’t it said in the agreement that I’ll bear the living expenses of you and the child?

This sentence touched my sensitive nerves. Yes, we have an agreement between us. We have to do everything according to the agreement. Other than the child and the agreement, there’s no other relationship between us.

Even the marriage certificate could be canceled at any time!

I turned my head and looked out of the window, saying, “Right now, our child doesn’t have any financial burden. As for myself, I have hands and feet. I can work. I don’t need your money. You can Take back your bank card.”

Herbert’s tone was cold. “Fine. Since that’s the case, when you need it, feel free to ask me I won’t go back on my word.

Alter that he put the bank card into his pocket and turned to leave.

After he left, I looked up at the ceiling and tried my best not to cry.

Over the years, I’ve gotten used to it. No matter what difficulties or hardships I encounter, I’ll endure it and never shed tears. That’s because it’s weak. I can’t be defeated by reality.

I remember I haven’t wanted to cry for a long time, but how could I cry so easily recently?

This was definitely also a kind of pregnancy reaction. Yes, pregnant women’s emotions were unstable It must be like this!

“How could I cry for someone who doesn’t love me?”

Although the agreement was clearly written, I couldn’t let Herbert look down on me. I had to work hard and take his money when the child needed it.

After a while, all the colleagues came back from lunch Joey brought one lunch box for me. I opened it and ate two mouthfuls. The manager came in with two magazines in his hand. “Everyone, this issue of the magazine has released an exclusive interview of Mr. Wharton.

This is a novel that has just been sent to us by the personnel department. If you’re interested, feel free to read it.” After speaking, the manager placed the magazine on my desk and turned to enter his office.

Before I could react, several female colleagues ran over and grabbed the magazine. They were watching and discussing it. Looking at the crazy looks of those female employees, I found it a little funny.

Herbert really wasn’t that kind. That man had a strange temper!

He was so short-sighted that he had an affair with a woman like Emma!

“How could this be?” At this time, the female colleague A shouted while staring at the magazine in her hand.

“What’s wrong? What’s wrong?” A group of female employees hurriedly asked.

The female colleague A threw the magazine in her hand onto a table. In a dejected voice, she said, “Mr. Wharton was married?!”

“What? He’s married? No way. Let me take a look. Let me take a look.” A group of female employees were all reading in magazines.

“Oh my god, this is true. In the exclusive interview, he admitted that he had a wife. And when did he have a wedding ring on his ring finger?”

When I heard this, I stopped chewing He admitted that he was married? What does this mean? Didn’t he say that he was hiding our marriage in the company? But on second thought, maybe he admitted that he was married because of some work. It had nothing to do with me!

“I told you that there might be a wife, but you, a group of silly girls, don’t believe me!’ Joey said. “Then do you know who is the wife of Mr. Wharton?’ A female staff member still seemed unwilling to give up.

Joey shrugged. “How would I know? We‘re not relatives.

“Does that even need to be said? Those who are able to marry into the clan must be a woman from a wealthy family In reality, have you ever seen a few Cinderellas marry into a wealthy family? Even if they did, they would still get divorced!” A female colleague said.

That may not be the case. Who knows when Mr. Wharton will bring his wife to everyone. She might be Cinderella Joey laughed. “Of course not!’ The female colleague shook her head in disdain. Joey came to me and consoled me, “Leave them alone. They’re just talking nonsense.” “In fact, what they said makes sense.”

I couldn’t help feeling more depressed. At this time, there was another sound at the door. The female colleague came in from outside and said with a smile, “I just saw a big piece of news! “Another piece of news? Isn’t there enough news today? Tell me who it is about?” The female colleague A asked.

“If it wasn’t for the fact that it’s related to Mr. Wharton, would I have the nerve to bring it up as news?” Female colleague, B, said with a mysterious smile.

be Cinderella’ Joey laughed “Of course not!” The female colleague shook her head in disdain.

Joey came to me and consoled me ”Leave them alone. They’re just talking nonsense.”

In fact, what they said makes sense.” I couldn’t help feeling more depressed.

At this time, there was another sound at the door.

The female colleague came in from outside and said with a smile. “I just saw a big piece of news!” “Another piece of news? Isn’t there enough news today? Tell me who it is about? The female colleague A asked.

“If it wasn’t for the fact that it’s related to Mr. Wharton, would I have the nerve to bring it up as news? Female colleague, B, said with a mysterious smile.

Bride of Mr. Billion Chapter 40

Bella’s POV

I couldn’t help but go over to listen to the content of their conversation “What’s going on? Tell me quickly!” The female colleagues were all in high spirits.

Female colleague B then said, “I went to look for Allie just now and saw that Emma had come again. She forced to ask to see Mr. Wharton again, but Allie refused to let her in. She even said that he didn’t have time to see Emma!”

“This is also known as the news? I knew long ago that it was impossible to have a long-term relationship between Emma and Mr. Wharton! It’s impossible for him to like that kind of woman.” Female colleague A curled her lips.

I felt strange when I heard their words. “Hasn’t the relationship between Herbert and Emma Briden been very ambiguous recently?” She even said yesterday that she would be the president’s wife! Why did she suddenly disappear? Did he have a new lover? Thinking of this, I felt a little depressed.

Female colleague B continued to laugh. “That Emma, holding this magazine in her hand, cried as she came to ask Allie whether or not Mr. Wharton was really married, and who was his wife. Do you think it’s laughable? I heard that her personal life is in a mess. She even dreamed of becoming Mr. Herbert’s wife!”

Hearing this, I felt very happy in my heart. I could probably imagine the depressed face of Emma “It’s OK if she wants to marry someone else. How dare she also want to marry Herbert? As long as he is not stupid, he will never marry her.” thought Bella.

Of course, my father abandoned my mother and sister and married Emma’s mother. His brain must have been broken, but after so many years, my father seemed to be very proud.

Finally, it was time to get off work. Joey and I went out of the office together.

Joey teased me. Was our Boss trying to get rid of that Emma as soon as possible, and so he accepted the exclusive interview of the magazine and admit that he’s married?” I stared at her in shock. I really didn’t think of this possibility As long as Emma had been using Uncle John, Herbert would not refuse her directly.

The Wharton family had always been extremely grateful.

It was said that Uncle John had a very good relationship with Herbert’s father. In an accident, Uncle John had saved his father’s life, so he didn’t refuse Uncle John’s request.

Who knows? It’s his own business, and it has nothing to do with me.” I no longer had any expectations for Herbert.

I would not be disappointed if I did not have any expectations.

“Hey, that’s your husband!” Joey reminded me.

smiled bitterly ‘In my heart, he is just my child’s father.”

“In fact, I feel that Boss is very special to you. You are a legal couple now. You can work hard. What if you become a real couple from a fake couple? Besides, you have a child. Even if you don’t succeed. you won’t suffer any losses!” Joey advised me. I couldn’t help rolling my eyes at her. ‘I lost my most precious self-esteem!” “How much is self-esteem worth?” Joey was a little disdainful.

I didn’t agree with Joey either.

Yes, self-esteem is worthless now, but I still protect my poor self-esteem in front of Herbert. I don’t know why, but I truly don’t want to lower my head in front of him and be looked down upon by him.

I walked into the house after work. As I changed my shoes, I called out to my mom out of habit. “Mom, I’m back!”

My mother, who was wearing an apron and holding a shovel in her hand, immediately poked her head out of the kitchen. “Are you hungry? The meal will be ready soon.”

I washed my hands and was about to eat when my mother suddenly said, “Bella, your cousin is married this Saturday. Let’s go together.”

Hearing that, I frowned.

Although I have a good relationship with my uncle and cousin, I don’t want to attend the wedding when I think of my father’s family.

By then, there might be another conflict. Not to mention that I’m angry, I may also destroy other people’s wedding.

Her mother tried to persuade her, ‘Aunt Carter personally sent an invitation, we have to go.”

I glanced at my mother. I knew that although she didn’t say anything, she still couldn’t let go of my father, Ryan, after so many years.

In fact, my mother really wanted to see Ryan, although I strongly disagreed. But after all, my mother’s life is not mine. I can’t make a decision for her. As her daughter, I could only respect her and protect her when she needed me Therefore, I nodded and agreed. “Okay.”

Mother is very happy…

Soon, it was Saturday. I accompanied my mother to attend my cousin’s wedding.

The groom was wearing a black tuxedo and looked very solemn. The bride was wearing a snow white wedding dress with exquisite makeup.

Mother tugged at me and whispered, “Your cousin’s wedding is going well. In the future, you and Herbert will also have a wedding.”

Hearing this, I didn’t know how to respond.

The marriage between me and Herbert should be over after I gave birth to my child. There’s no need to hold a wedding before we get divorced. Of course, I couldn’t say these words to my mother. I could only nod and say, “Cousin and his wife’s salary are very high. We can’t compare

“There is only once in your life. There should be a wedding, mother said in a low voice. Alter greeting Uncle John and Aunt Carter, we walked into the banquet hall. I ran into my father as soon as I entered I didn’t want to see him, so I turned my head away “You’re here, Ryan?” Mother asked with a smile.

Ryan said with disgust, “Bella, look at how haggard you are now. Why don’t you stay at home? Are you trying to embarrass yourself here?”
