Bride of Mr.Billion (Bella and Herbert) novel Chapter 142

Chapter 142

Bella’s POV:

In the evening, I took a shower and went to bed in my pajamas, but I couldn’t fall asleep.

I missed Herbert so much.

There seemed to be his scent on the pillow, and my yearning for him was like vines that grew wildly.

I really wanted to put on my clothes and go to his house immediately to hug and kiss him.

But I had to endure it.

Half a month would soon pass. I must persevere!

Just then, my phone suddenly rang. I immediately picked it up. It was a call from Herbert.

1 hesitated for a moment, but still couldn’t help answering the phone. Are you asleep?” There came a deep and pleasant voice from the other end of the phone.

I was silent for a moment. “Didn’t we agree that we wouldn’t meet for half a month?”

He hesitated for a moment before saying, “You just said that we can’t meet each other. You didn’t say we can’t talk on the phone.”

He found the loophole in my words. I missed him very much and wanted to hear his voice very much, so I decided not to think about it. “I can’t fall asleep.” I looked out of the window at the starry sky, and my longing for Herbert deepened. “I can’t sleep either. I miss you. But I haven’t dealt with my matter, so I can only call you and listen to your voice.” Herbert’s voice sounded a little lonely.

My heart ached for a moment, and soon I said with a smile, “Has Mr. Herbert learned to show weakness and pretend to be pitiful?”

“I’m really pitiful! I’m not lying.” Herbert’s tone was soft.

Herbert had never showed his weakness. I was not used to it.

“You’re not pitiful because you’re having an affair with two women at the same time.” I said sarcastically with a smile.

“Don’t make fun of me. I’ve never been so anxious. It’s all because of you,” Herbert said self deprecatingly.

Herbert had already found a way to solve it, so I didn’t intend to urge him at the moment. After a minute of silence, I asked, “How’s Caroline doing now?“The situation has stabilized. The doctor said that she could be discharged from the hospital after two more days of observation. When she leaves the hospital, I will tell her clearly and send her back to America to continue her treatment.” Herbert replied. “What if… she doesn’t want to go back to America?” I asked tentatively. Although I had never gotten along with Caroline.

Herbert’s firm attitude comforted me, and I even had some pity for Caroline. But this kind of pity did not affect my attitude. If it weren’t for her, perhaps I wouldn’t have lost my child, or maybe my child would have survived. Thinking of this, I was very depressed! Are you still… not satisfied with what I’m doing? If you…” His words immediately brought my consciousness back to reality. I quickly interrupted him. “No!! just suddenly miss Lucas.” Speaking about Lucas, the atmosphere on the phone suddenly became warm. “In the past few months, Lucas has been growing very fast. He can walk on his own, and he can say a word or two.” Herbert’s tone became softer and softer. “Really? I’ll visit him in a few days. Do you think Lucas will still know me?” I was very excited because I hadn’t seen him for a long time. “He must know you.” Herbert laughed. I looked at my watch. It was already midnight, so I reminded him, “It’s getting late. Go to rest. You have to go to work and take care of the patient tomorrow. It’s very hard!” Herbert laughed and said, “You’re jealous.” “I’m hanging up.” After that, I hung up the phone. I was definitely jealous to have him take care of his ex-girlfriend. After all, he was the one I love.
