Bride of Mr.Billion (Bella and Herbert) novel Chapter 232

Chapter 232

Herbert’s POV: Half an hour later, I was already sitting in the back seat of the car. Connor was driving the car in front. Night had already descended. The car had been moving side by side with a bus. The luxury Mercedes-Benz drove slowly and side by side with the bus in the traffic. I looked out of the window at the figure sitting by the window. The figure seemed to be a little sleepy. She slightly closed her eyes and leaned against the seat to rest. Recently, as long as there was nothing urgent, I would go to the coffee shop downstairs of Bella’s company to wait for her every day when she got off work. I just wanted to see her. Or, I would have Connor drive the car to follow the bus she was riding until I saw her get out of the bus and go home. To prevent her from recognizing me, I switched to another car. In the past six months, I missed her very much, but I couldn’t get close to her. I knew she came out to work, so he could only look at her from a distance. Soon after the bus arrived at the station, my car also stopped not far from the station. I watched the slender black figure walk down from the car and watched her quickly enter the community ahead. It wasn’t until I couldn’t see her anymore that I leaned back on the back seat and said, “Let’s go!” Connor quickly stepped on the accelerator, and the car drove back into the road. After remaining silent for a long time in the car, Connor asked, “Mr. Wharton, now that Lucas’s condition has stabilized, why don’t you explain it to Miss Stepanek? Or perhaps, I can explain it to her. You don’t even know that I forced her to go to the hospital.” I closed my eyes and replied, “No! That’s my fault. The doctor said that although Lucas’s condition has stabilized, it will take him a month to fully recover. As long as all the indicators are normal this time, he can recover. I want to bring her a healthy Lucas so that she won’t have any worries about Lucas’s health. Since I have been waiting for so long, why should I be in a hurry?” I owe Bella too much, and I hurt her too much. Then, Connor said, “Right now, Miss Stepanek and Klein…are often meeting. Are you not worried?” I was silent for a moment before I said, “Bella will never fall in love with another man!” “Are you this confident?” Connor asked. “Of course.”

In fact, I was not particularly confident. But as soon as I thought of how it was possible for Klein to be together with Bella, or even get married, I felt very uncomfortable. This was the only way I could deceive myself.

Bella’s POV: That night, after leaving work, Klein came directly to my side. This was also the usual practice. As long as he didn’t have any social activities, he would usually have dinner here. He and Jane were all here, so that he wouldn’t have to cook alone. I sat on the sofa and massaged my ankle. “What’s wrong?” Klein put down his briefcase, then walked over with a look of concern on his face. “I fell down accidentally.” I raised my head and forced a smile. The fall today was not light, so I couldn’t get up for a long time. Fortunately, the people around me were kind enough to help me up and help me pick up the things. “How did it end up like this? Let me see if you sprained your ankle.” After speaking, Klein reached out to touch my ankle, checking if my joints were injured. “I didn’t sprain my ankle.” I quickly shook my head and denied it, but his big hand had touched my ankle. His big hands were really warm, which made me a little embarrassed. It was a strange feeling, but I couldn’t pull back my feet. “Your feet are very beautiful. They are very cute.” Klein pressed down on my feet. I asked, “I didn’t sprain my ankle, did I?” “No.” Klein hurriedly came to his senses. He let go of my leg, then reached out and grabbed the medicine in his hand. “Let me apply it for you.” “Thank you.” I didn’t refuse and thanked him. Klein was very serious, as long as there was a wound on my calf, he would apply medicine it all over. The atmosphere in the living room suddenly became a little ambiguous. When I saw that he had finished applying, I quickly pulled back my leg and dropped my pants. Klein felt his throat grow a little hoarse. Putting down the medicine in his hand, he looked at Jane who was preparing dinner in the kitchen. “…Where’s Lucky?” “Lucky didn’t sleep in the afternoon. She’s asleep now,” I replied. “Oh. Then you can have a good meal since she won’t make trouble for you.” Klein’s smile was beginning to grow a bit unnatural. “Well, I’m going to wash my hands.” I felt that the atmosphere was a little weird. I didn’t know what to say next, so I thought of the reason for washing hands. The next moment, I quickly stood up. Maybe my legs were a little numb just now. When I stood up, I almost fell down.

“Be careful!”

I felt my waist tighten, and then I was pulled into a warm embrace.

I was held in his arms.
