Bride of Mr.Billion (Bella and Herbert) novel Chapter 267

Bella‘s POV: I hid my true feelings. “It‘s none of my business whether you get married or not. You don‘t have to tell me these things.” “But it has something to do with our children. Herbert frowned. Hearing this, I also frowned. Herbert hesitated for a moment, then said, “If I don‘t get married again, it will be better for the children to live with me.” I knew that Herbert was not a person who would simply give a promise. His idea really made me feel moved, but we had a long way to go. Who knew what would happen in the future? Therefore, I stood up and said, ‘Since you have no objection to the plan of raising the children, let‘s do it according to the current plan we have. As for the future, no one can be sure. I think it depends on the situation!” He slowly stood up and nodded. “I agree.” “I‘ll go get Lucas.” I turned around and walked in the direction of Lucas. However, Herbert looked at my back and said, “You‘ll get married in three days. I‘ll send Lucas over after your marriage so that he won‘t affect your wedding!” I stopped walking, but I didn‘t look back in the end. Hearing the sarcasm in his tone, I said loudly. “Thank you for your understanding! After that, I continued to move forward A few minutes later, Herbert walked away, holding Lucas‘s hand. I was very upset when I saw Lucas keep looking back from time to time, but I couldn‘t do anything about it.

Then, Jane pushed Lucky over.

“Lucky is hungry. It’s time to feed her milk,” said Jane with a smile. I suddenly felt a little depressed, so I said to Jane, “I want to take a walk. You can take Lucky back to drink milk first.”

“Okay.” Then Jane pushed Lucky home. I strolled aimlessly in the park. Thinking back to what Herbert had said just now, there was a certain reason behind it, but I definitely wouldn‘t give in. Herbert and I couldn‘t go back, and I had confidence in Klein. I even thought of not giving birth to a child in the future, but it seemed too unfair to Klein. After all, he needed a child…

Just then, I received a call.

It was a call from Connor.

“What’s the matter? Connor wasn’t very enthusiastic, because he was one of Herbert’s men.

“Mrs. Stepanek, I think I have to tell you something.” Connor continued, “Actually, I was the one who forced you to undergo a C–cut surgery at the hospital. Back then, Mr. Wharton was in a very difficult situation. He didn‘t want to lose Lucas, nor Chapler 267

did he want to continue hurting you.” “That day, he was in the hospital to take care of Lucas. I went straight to you with my men.‘ “Me Wharton has never allowed me to tell you. He said that this matter was his responsibility to begin with. I only did one last thing for him.” “Mrs. Stepanek, it‘s not that he doesn‘t care about your feelings. It‘s just that there really wasn‘t any other way back then.” I was stunned. After a moment of silence, I said, “Since the situation had reached such a critical state, why didn‘t you tell me? Why did you choose to hide it from me?” “Mrs. Stepanek, if I told you at that time, you might have agreed to have a C–cut in advance, but in that case, you would have strong guilt for both of your children. And at that time, there was only a 50% chance that Lucas would be cured. What if Lucas was not cured? What kind of pain would you suffer?”

Connor continued, ‘It was precisely because Mr. Wharton had thought of this that he chose not to tell you.”

“That‘s what I wanted to say. Mrs. Stepanek. I hope you can reconsider your relationship with Mr. Wharton again.”

I didn‘t answer and hung up the phone directly. Connor‘s call made my complex emotions even more complicated. Although I knew that these things were all caused by Herbert, after hearing Connor‘s words, I really didn‘t know what to do.

But why were the two of them together with Klein? I saw that there seemed to be some sort of dispute between the three of them. Could it be that they knew each other? The next moment, I instinctively squatted down and carefully observed what they were doing. At this moment, my entire body was trembling. It seemed as though things weren‘t that simple. It seemed as though Klein had made a deal with those two men. Alterward, I slowly moved to the side of the plant, secretly watching the actions of Klein and those two b*stards.

After saying a few words to the two men, he took out a leather envelope from his suit and handed it to the fat man. The fat man said a few more words and then left with the thin man. At this moment, I was extremely shocked! I was certain that the leather envelope contained money, but why would Klein give money to those two people? I was not a fool. I could figure out everything just by thinking about these things. Could it be that the fat man and the skinny man didn‘t come to me after being instructed by Connie and Emma but they were only listening to Klein‘s orders? Thinking of this, I couldn‘t believe my judgment.
