Chapter 174
Bella’s POV: I didn’t expect that Klein would confess to me so directly. I thought this man only wanted to flirt with me because he had many romantic encounters when he was dating Vivian. Be it a fling or a serious relationship, I was not interested in either of them now. I couldn’t give him any emotional response at all. I reached out and pulled his hand from my arm. “Klein, I can take care of myself. I don’t need anyone to take care of me.”
The look on Klein’s face was rather awkward. After all, he was a proud person. I could understand
his feeling.
Klein was silent for a moment, then continued, “Perhaps you still need some time to heal. It’s fine. I can wait for you.” I sighed and said, “You don’t have to wait for me. I can’t fall in love with you, let alone be with you.” “Why? Because I’m Herbert’s younger cousin? This isn’t fair to me.” Klein shouted at me. “Why don’t you understand? I don’t want to fall in love right now, and I don’t have any feelings of love for you. Klein, if you don’t have anything else to say, I’m a bit tired. I want to rest. Please leave!” My attitude was as firm as ever. I knew it was cruel, but I also knew that since I didn’t like him, I should refuse him directly. It was the best choice for me and him..”, Klein let go of his hand, then strode towards the door.. I crossed my arms in front of my chest and didn’t look at him. I just hoped that he could leave as soon as possible. I didn’t want to be involved with any other man. As Klein walked to the front door, he suddenly turned to ask me, “Can we be friends?” Hearing that, I tooked up at the ceiling. Of course, I knew it was a man’s trick. Ordinary friends meant that he had a chance to continue to get close to me. I was no longer an 18-year-old girl. I knew a lot of things. I turned my back to him and asked, “Did you break up with Vivian because of me?” Klein hesitated for a moment, then replied, “Vivian and I had many problems. We broke up a lot of times over the past few years. To be honest, I was really tired. I had been struggling, but I had never been willing to let go. Of course, if you hadn’t appeared, I wouldn’t have made up my mind to leave Vivian and break up with her!” Hearing his words, I frowned. It turned out that what Vivian said was right. Although I didn’t have any ambiguous relationship with Klein, they broke up because of me. I hated the third party the most. My mother’s marriage and my first love were destroyed because of the intervention of a third party. The reason Herbert and I parted ways was also because of Caroline.
That was why I despised the third party.
But I didn’t expect that I would become the third party who destroyed Klein’s relationship too.
I couldn’t tolerate this.
I turned to look at Klein. In a very serious voice, I said, “I’m sorry. I won’t be friends with you!”
Klein was somewhat stunned. He turned and took two steps forward. I stopped him immediately. “Stay away from me!” Klein immediately came to a halt, then said, “Fine. I won’t come over, but don’t blame yourself for my breakup with Vivian, all right? Actually, this has nothing to do with you!”
I didn’t want to hurt Klein. He saved me and helped me before.
But gratitude and love were two different things. I took a deep breath and continued, “I don’t want to be your friend, and I don’t want to be misunderstood by Vivian, although I don’t have a good impression of her!” “I’ve already broken up with Vivian…” Klein spread out his hands, wanting to continue persuading
- me. I didn’t want to be entangled with him. I turned around and said, “Sorry, I don’t want to talk about this with you anymore. I have made up my mind!” Klein lowered his head, then said after a moment of silence, “I’m sorry for disturbing you. I’m leaving!”
Hearing the sound of the door closing, I turned my head and saw that the door had been closed. Feeling very tired, I turned around and leaned against the sofa. Klein was a kind and determined man and he had a sense of justice. Although sometimes he was a bit of a playboy, he could still be considered a good man. However, I didn’t love him. A week later, I went back to work.
I didn’t understand his behavior, but I still sat down. Although he used to treat me very well, he never had a flattering smile like this, which made me a little uneasy. Then, my boss smiled and said, “Bella, it’s all thanks to you that you found a friend to help the travel agency. Otherwise, we would suffer a great loss!” I said, “It was also because of me that this incident happened. I’m the one who got the travel agency involved.”
