Chapter 114
Herbert’s POV
On the way home, Connor reported to me, “Mr. Wharton, Gaynor just called. She said that this afternoon, Miss Stepanek went to visit Lucas.” Thesitated and asked, “Did Bella say anything else?” “Gaynor said that Miss Stepanek asked her about which orphanage Lucas was brought back from.” Connor replied.
I lowered my head and thought for a moment. Then, I instructed Connor, “Call Gaynor. If she sees Bella next time, tell her that Lucas was brought back from the Angel Orphanage.” “Yes.” Connor nodded.
I continued to remind him. “You arrange everything and don’t make any mistakes.”
“Mr. Wharton, don’t worry. I’ll handle it well.” Connor nodded again.
Bella’s POV:
In the evening, I was leaning against the bed, thinking about how to find out which orphanage Lucas was adopted from. My cell phone suddenly rang.
I looked down and saw that it was Joey, so I answered the phone.
Joey’s voice came from the other end of the phone. “Bella, I’m so unlucky today!”
“What happened?” I asked.
“I met the third party between you and the Boss!” Joey’s voice sounded angry.
“Did Caroline cause you trouble?” I immediately asked.
Joey continued to say angrily, “I went back to work today and was late for half an hour. Not only did | fail to get the bonus this month, but I also had to write a review!”
“What do you mean? Did Caroline call to report you?” I continued to ask.
Joey continued, “She didn’t call to report. Caroline is now the ombudsman sent by the headquarters to our company. She’s here to deal with work discipline. She just came to work this afternoon. Do you think it’s a coincidence?”
I lowered my head and thought for a moment. Then I said, “The ombudsman sent by the headquarters to the Wharton Group. Is this the post that Herbert assigned to her?”
“It’s said that the headquarters directly appointed her, and it has nothing to do with the Boss. By the way, is the chairman of the headquarters the mother of Herbert? It seems that Caroline has been recognized by his mother. Otherwise, how could she get into the Wharton Group directly? And she arranged a position with a relatively large amount of authority for her.” Joey analyzed.
“It’s true that you’re late this time. Be more careful next time. Don’t make any mistakes in your work. Don’t give her any room for trouble.” I comforted her.
“That’s all I can do. If Caroline deliberately wants to make trouble for me, I have no choice but to resign in the end.” Joey sighed. “Do what you have to do first. It’s useless to think so much.” I said.
Since Caroline had already been acknowledged by the Wharton Family, it meant that her marriage
with Herbert was near.
I was a little disappointed. After all, I had to see the person I liked marry another woman. It was indeed a sad thing.
But from a logical point of view, their marriage meant that there was no possibility for us to be together. In the future, I would completely let go of this past relationship, and he would probably not continue to find me.
This was great. My life would continue to be very good. “By the way, did you go to see Lucas today? Did you get any information from the nanny?” Joey asked. “That nanny said she didn’t know.” I replied.
Joey was silent for a moment and then said, “Bella, you can’t be in a hurry. You can only find an opportunity to inquire about it.”
“I know. But I’m very happy to see Lucas. He likes me very much.” I felt particularly happy when I thought of him.
“You’ve transferred all your feelings for your own child to Lucas. You can like him, but don’t be too extreme. It’s not good for you, do you understand? Joey warned.
I looked at the flashing mobile phone screen Although I understood what Joey said was right, I still couldn’t help missing Lucas I found that I couldn’t resist this kind of feeling at all.
The principal agreed to my request and asked someone to bring me the record of the adoption of last winter.
When the principal handed me the record book, my hands were trembling Could Lucas be my child?
