Chapter 219
Bella’s POV:
That morning, when I was playing in the living room with Lucky in my arms, I suddenly heard the sound of the door being unlocked.
Mother had gone to the market to buy vegetables. She had just left for a short while. Why did she come back so early?
The next moment, the door was opened, but the person who came in was not mother.
A fashionable girl in a pink lace dress came in. Her hair was combed into a bun, and golden jewelry was on her ears, neck, and wrists.
Seeing Betty, I was stunned. I didn’t expect Betty to suddenly come back.
These days, mother told me that Betty rarely came back and would call her occasionally.
It was said that Hank treated her well. Although she didn’t go to work, she hired a nanny to take care of her child. Although that unpleasant thing had happened for nearly a year, my relationship with Betty had become very bad.
It had been almost a year, but Betty and I didn’t take the initiative to contact each other. Mother was the one who told me the situation on the phone.
Of course, mother didn’t know the truth about my relationship with Betty. “Betty, you’re back?” | greeted Betty first. I didn’t think we were close now, but I still think we were blood-related sisters.
Even if we had some misunderstandings before, after so long, it was time for us to ease our relationship.
Betty’s eyes were full of disdain when she saw me. Obviously, she knew my situation and knew that I lived with mother.
Because Betty didn’t look surprised at all when she saw me holding the baby. Mom must have told her about me on the phone.
Betty walked up to me and glanced at the baby in my arms. She sneered and said, “Sister, you haven’t come back for more than half a year. You brought a child back as soon as you came back. Did you deliberately make mom angry?” Hearing such unfriendly words, I frowned. “Betty, when did you become so mean?” Betty sneered. “I’m mean? Why don’t you say that what you did is ridiculous? You were pregnant before you got married, and you even gave birth to a child. Do you know how the neighbors will talk about you and mother? It’s okay for you to be shameless. Don’t involve mother.” Betty’s words were nailed to my heart. I felt very uncomfortable. Was this my sister whom I had always taken care of? “I’m not the only one who got pregnant before marriage. I wasn’t the only one who wanted to give birth to a child as a single mother. You just met Hank who was willing to take responsibility, so you’re not as noble as me. You don’t have the right to comment me!” I retorted.

But at this moment, my heart really ached, because the person in front of me was the one l’had always protected since she was a child. No matter when, I would always think of her, but today, she only sneered at me.
I exposed Betty’s scars, which made her even angrier. “You mean that Hank pitied me that’s why he married me?”
“Don’t talk nonsense. I didn’t mean that,” I said.
“That’s what you meant. You think you are a savior, don’t you? Without you, I would be like you today, holding a child like a poor person.” “Do you still want to say that if you didn’t ask Hank to marry me, he wouldn’t be responsible for me. I should be very grateful, right?” “Or, are you jealous of me? You don’t want to see me living better than you, do you?” Betty’s words were getting sharper, like a knife stabbing into my heart. At this time, maybe Betty’s voice was very loud, which scared me.
“Wa…” Lucky burst into tears.
