Chapter 112
Herbert’s POV
When I saw Bella holding a Lucas, I felt a lot of warmth.
The conflict between Bella and I was very deep. It was almost to the point where we would quarrel whenever we met
But I didn’t expect that the conflict between us seemed to be eased because of Lucas.
He liked Bella very much, and Bella seemed to like him very much. She even offered to stay and take care of him.
That was good. At least it could be a turning point between Bella and I. Before five o’clock in the afternoon, I finished my work and got in the car to go home. I came back from a business trip for a week. There were a lot of things in the company. I dealt with the most urgent documents and things as soon as possible. Because I was eager to see Lucas and Bella. Ring, ring. In the car, the phone rang several times. I knew who called, but I didn’t want to pick it up at all. But the ringing of the phone was really annoying. In the end, I chose to pick up the phone. “Herbert, why haven’t you answered my call for so long? Why didn’t you tell me that you’re back?” Caroline’s voice was coming from the other end of the phone. I frowned and replied, “I just came back. There are a lot of things to deal with in the company, so I don’t have the time to answer your call.” I didn’t think there was any need for Caroline to know about the existence of Lucas. After all, she was just an ordinary friend of mine. I didn’t need to explain everything to her.
“Your work is indeed important, but you should also pay attention to your health. Come and have dinner with me at night? Miranda’s cooking skills are very good. I’ve learned two French dishes recently.” Caroline invited me warmly.
“Some other day. I have some social activities tonight.” I answered coldly.
“Herbert…” Caroline seemed to want to say something.
I interrupted her and said, “I have something else to do. I’m hanging up.”
After that, I hung up the phone.
I looked at the scenery outside the window and said impatiently, “Drive faster!” Connor replied, “Mr. Wharton, today is Friday, and now is the peak hour. There are too many cars, and there’s no way we can speed up.” I couldn’t help but frown. At this moment, I had an impulse to fly to the villa in the suburbs immediately. Was I just missing Lucas? I think I wanted to see Bella who was taking care of Lucas?”
Yes, I wanted to see Bella and I wanted to be with her.
Half an hour later, the car finally arrived at its destination. Connor opened the back door. I got out of the car and went straight into the villa.
Walking into the living room, I saw Gaynor sitting on the sofa playing with Lucas. “Mr. Wharton, you’re back?” Seeing me, Gaynor immediately rose to her feet and greeted me. I looked around and saw no familiar figure. I immediately replied, “I heard that you’re sick?” Gaynor immediately said guiltily, “Mr. Wharton, a few days ago, I caught a severe cold. I was afraid that it would infect Lucas. I’m fine now, so I hurried back this afternoon. Oh, thanks to Miss Stepanek, she took good care of Lucas. When I reached here, Lucas didn’t let her go. She only left when he was asleep.”
Bella’s POV:
“Then what happened to you?” Joey was extremely curious. I told Joey everything that had happened in the past few days. In the end, I said with melancholy, “These days, I closed my eyes and my mind is filled with Lucas. I don’t know what happened. What do you think I should do?”
