Bride of Mr.Billion (Bella and Herbert) novel Chapter 196

Chapter 196

Bella’s POV:

Under my persuasion, my mom finally agreed. The next morning, I left home with my mother. I called a tourist group. We were going for a two-day trip nearby. I accompanied my mother wholeheartedly. Seeing that she was having a good time, I also felt happier.

After the trip, I felt exhausted and sick. I knew I couldn’t delay any longer.

This morning, I said to my mother while having breakfast, “Mom, there’s something I want to discuss with you.”

“What’s the matter?” Mother asked as she ate.

“Yesterday, my boss called me and said that they needed a manager in Wharton, so she asked me to work there…” I hadn’t finished my words yet. Mom frowned and interrupted me. “Didn’t you say that your boss has already transferred you back to A City?”

“Mom, my boss said that I should stay there for another year and she will increase my salary by 20%. She will also give me a promotion after a year. Don’t you think that I worked so hard just to earn more money? Moreover, male employees can endure more than female employees, and the

chances of female employees getting a promotion are low. I want to go for another year.” I had already lowered my head when I said this, and I really didn’t want to face my mom’s eyes. After all, i was lying. I planned to be away for a year. After I gave birth to my child, I would find a way to beg for my mother’s forgiveness. After a moment of silence, my mother said, “Bella, go ahead. Don’t worry, my hand has recovered.” “And I’m only 50 years old. I don’t need anyone to take care of me. You have to take good care of yourself.” “Okay.” I nodded. Two days later, I dragged my suitcase and left home again. I didn’t leave the city immediately. Instead, I went to Joey’s house.

Joey was very happy to see me. She pulled me into the room. “Bella, when did you come back? Why did you suddenly show up without keeping me informed in advance?”

Sitting in the house I once rented, I picked up the glass of water that Joey poured for me and said with a smile, “I just wanted to give you a surprise!”

Joey smiled and said, “Anyway, I’m very happy to see you come back.” “By the way, how have you been recently?” I asked. I chose to come to Joey. On one hand, I hadn’t decided where to go. On the other hand, I hadn’t seen Joey for more than half a year. I missed her a little.

“Just like before, I’m working in a small company, and the salary is not bad.” “My mother’s body is also recovering very well, so I plan to take her to A City. Although this house is not big, it is enough for two people to live in. I can take care of her so as to reduce some expenses,” Joey said. “That’s a good idea.” I nodded. “How are you? Are you all right?” Joey asked. I pursed my lips into a smile and said, “I’m still the same.” “Will you return to Wharton again this time?” Joey asked.

“What’s there to worry about?” In fact, I was very envious of Joey now. She worked normally and lived normally. Except for the pressure of life, there would not be any accidents or changes. “I’m worried that… I can’t find a good man and become a rich woman. I want to have a sweet relationship…” Joey pulled me out of the door while talking to me. Hearing Joey’s words, I pursed my lips and smiled bitterly. Some people were distressed by love, and some were troubled because they had not found their love yet. I had experienced too much. I knew that sometimes love was just like a sharp sword that would make people very painful.

That night, Joey was really drunk. I knew that Joey’s life had been very difficult over the years. She single-handedly supported her mother. She still needed to rent a house and sent her mother to treatments.
