Chapter 236
Bella’s POV: I lowered my head and thought for a few seconds. Then, I raised my head and looked at him firmly, saying. “Klein, you can be Lucky’s godfather, a more important person than her own father.” “As for my feelings… I have experienced too many things. I don’t want to touch this anymore, at least not now. And you are so excellent. You are a handsome rich gentleman. You deserve to have a better partner!” Klein was indeed a trustworthy man. He loved me very much and took good care of me. But I couldn’t deceive my heart. I could treat him as my family or best friend, but I couldn’t always treat him as my beloved. In addition, Klein was simply too outstanding. His appearance, his character, his abilities, and his family background were all very good. When I lived with him, I didn’t need to worry about the basics of life. I could even live a rich and peaceful life.
But that was far too unfair for Klein.
Klein should love a woman who loved him deeply as well. At this moment, I was a little regretful. I regretted holding him and taking care of him last night. Maybe I gave him a glimmer of hope, so he had such thoughts and actions today. Initially, I did it out of guilt and gratitude, but I didn’t expect to cause emotional trouble now. “But I think you are the best woman. At the very least, for me.” Klein stared stubbornly at me. Hearing that, I frowned. I had been divorced and brought along a child less than one year old. My family was ordinary and I didn’t have a dazzling career. Was I the best woman? Sure enough, love would make people blind.” Klein continued, “Bella, I don’t want your answer right now. I only hope that you can seriously consider my suggestion.”
“There’s no need to think about it. I can answer you right now. I won’t agree.” The next moment, I looked into Klein’s eyes. My voice was firm, and there was no room for discussion. Klein frowned. Rubbing his hands against the steering wheel in his hands, he said, “Lucky’s getting bigger and bigger. She needs a normal family. Have you ever thought that she would ask where her father went as soon as she becomes a little more sensible? When she goes to kindergarten, how are you going to fill in her father’s column? Have you considered all these things? Children from single parent families encounter new problems in the future, which will be very unfavorable to their growth. If we can make a decision before she becomes sensible, she will be my daughter in the future. We will be a happy family, and she won’t be affected at all.” Hearing this, I was silent, and my heart was not so determined.
In fact, I had thought about these things, but I always thought that it was still early. There were still two years before Lucky could go to kindergarten. However, time passed fast, and that day would come in the end. I really had no solution to this problem. “But of course, you have to consider your own happiness as well. Bella, I’ve been in love with you for
a very long time. My feelings for you are genuine. I can determine my own feelings, and I can also bear the responsibilities I’ll have to bear in the future. I just want you to give me a chance!” Klein looked at me sincerely. At this moment, I had to admit that Klein’s words really had a great impact on my mind, especially on my own problem. If it was just me, I could follow the feelings in my heart. But when I thought of my child, I couldn’t help frowning. I came from a single parent family. I knew the pain of a single parent family. However, I still didn’t want to force myself to do anything I wasn’t willing to do. What’s more, Klein was worthy of someone better. In front of him, I felt inferior. Therefore, in the next moment, I decisively interrupted him. “Klein, don’t ever mention this to me again. We‘re just friends. It’s impossible for us to fall in love with each other. If you‘re willing, you can become Lucky’s Godfather! I’m late, so I won’t talk to you anymore. Goodbye.” After that, I got out of the car and walked quickly to the building in front of me.
Today, I was still late.
I was a little distracted as I sat in front of my desk. Klein disturbed my usual peaceful self. In terms of feelings, I knew very well that I only felt gratitude and appreciation towards Klein. I didn’t have any feelings for him, but what he said about the problems that I would face in the future was something that I cared about the most.
After struggling for a long time, I did not come to a conclusion. In the end, I gave up struggling. I definitely couldn’t accept Klein’s suggestion, because I didn’t want to repay his kindness with my feelings. Thus, I decided to be down-to-earth and do what I needed to do right now. I had to do my best to make a living for myself. So in the future, I would work harder for my company. I hope that I could earn enough money and buy a real home for Lucky and I in the future. In the next few days, Klein went out very early and came home very late. I felt a bit more relaxed. After all, I didn’t have to face Klein. That very night, Klein came to visit, and bought a new doll. Klein held Lucky in his arms, and Lucky held the doll. The two of them were very happy, and Lucky liked him very much. From time to time, her little chubby hand would touch his face. Seeing this scene, I was a little moved. Klein’s role as a father had given Lucky complete love. After playing for a while, Lucky was a little tired. Jane stepped forward and said with a smile, “Mr. Wharton, Lucky is sleepy. Shall I take her to sleep?” “Alright.” Klein kissed Lucky’s chubby little face, then handed her to Jane. Lucky held the doll in her arms and went into the bedroom. I pursed my lips into a smile and said, “Lucky is still a kid. The doll you bought is too expensive. Just
