Chapter 24
Bella‘s POV: I lied in order to calm my mother down.
But I didn‘t expect my mother to ask me to bring her home.
Herbert, I can almost be sure that he can‘t go home with me.
So how should he continue to make it up now?
“Ah? Well… Mom, he is always on a business trip, so he has to go on a business trip early tomorrow morning, saying that he will come back in ten days or half a month.” I continued to lie.
“A business trip every day? How are you going to live in the future?” he asked.
“There‘s a budget for a business trip. He has to make money for me and our child. There‘s nothing he can do.” I continued.
Although I said it calmly, I was already in a panic. I‘ve used all my ability to lie here. “That‘s right. We can have a gathering together when he comes back.” After that, my mother took the marriage certificate and went back to the house while looking at it.
I only heaved a sigh of relief when I saw Susan close the bedroom door. “God, I finally got rid of my mother for the time being.”
As for what would happen in the future, he had to figure it out in the future. 1
I went back to my room and closed the door.
“Congratulations, sister. You‘ve passed the test!” Betty, who was doing homework, turned around with a smile.
I quickly sat down in front of the bed and asked my sister in a low voice, “Who came today? How did Mom know that I was... pregnant?”
Betty looked in the direction of the door and answered in a low voice, “Today, Ryan Stepanek called my mother. That man said something particularly unpleasant on the phone. My mother was crying!”
We didn‘t call each other father in private, but his name. In our eyes, our father had already died.
“It must be Emma told Ryan,” I said angrily. “Oh Emma really have a grudge against our family.” Betty was also angry. I clenched my fists and said resentfully, “This hatred is very deep.” In my heart, I said to myself, “In the future, I will definitely give Emma and Connie punishment.” On the way to work the next day, I spent hundreds of money on a cheap ring and a few packs of famous candy to the company. As soon as I entered the office, I distributed the candy to everyone. “Everyone, eat the candy!”
“Assistant Stepanek, what kind of name is this candy?” A male employee teased. I smiled and said, “I‘m married. I just got my marriage certificate yesterday, and you know that I‘m pregnant. Everything is in a hurry, so I‘ll distribute the wedding candy first and hold the ceremony later!”
23:27 This was the idea I came up with last night. After all, everyone in the company knew that I was afraid of being pregnant. If I didn‘t announce my marriage, I would be too ashamed to continue to stay here. But I didn‘t lie. I did get married yesterday.
“Bella, the diamond ring is so beautiful!” The female employees all noticed the ring in my hand. “Oh, I just bought it yesterday afternoon. I was in a hurry and didn’t have time to pick!” I felt that the smile on my face was particularly fake, but I still had to continue to play tricks. I couldn‘t let the negative public opinion affect my daily life. “This diamond ring is worth tens of thousands of Dollar, isn‘t it?” A female employee stepped forward and grabbed my hand. I was afraid that I would be seen through, so I quickly withdrew my hand and said, “It‘s only 10,000. It‘s not as big as your diamond ring. Your diamond ring is several times larger than mine!” Hearing this, the female employee did not continue to pester me. She did not continue to speak, but returned to her seat.
This was how it was in the office. Regardless of whether it was men or women, they all had the mindset of comparing others.
If he was a little better than others, he would be satisfied with his vanity. If he was a little worse than others, he would be jealous.
Yes, sympathy.
