Chapter 280
Bella‘s POV:
Klein‘s voice was rather low. Although he didn‘t directly speak of his feelings, I could sense the pain he was in.
I knew that if I said that Lucky and I were going to move out of here, it would be another kind of harm to him.
But I would leave with Lucky in the end. Since we couldn‘t be together, we shouldn‘t pester each other. Thus, in the next moment, I said, “Klein, I‘m going to move out with Lucky.” Klein was silent for a moment, then said, “I know you‘ll definitely leave with Lucky. Where are you going?” He was still concerned about me and Luckyd. I felt a little uncomfortable. Although I was disappointed in Klein, during this period of time, I had already treated him as my family member. “I‘ll take her to Joey‘s place,” I replied. “That‘s fine. After all, you can take care of each other.” Klein said. “Well, you... I hope you can live a good life like before in the future and let go of your feelings for me and Lucky,” I said. After remaining silent for two minutes, Klein said, “In the future, I won‘t be able to continue to be Lucky‘s godfather?” His words were bitter, and I frowned. “Klein, I hope you can start a new life. Don‘t let Lucky and I tie you down. Actually, I‘ve thought about it. If it weren‘t for me and Lucky, you wouldn‘t have done anything stupid. In fact, we were the ones who harmed you!” After getting along with him for the past few years, I understood him very well. In truth, he was a very righteous lawyer. Normally, when he encountered a poor or old customer, he wouldn‘t even collect any fee. He would also help the people for the sake of justice. In addition, he wasn‘t afraid of power. In the past, he had offended quite a few high–ranking officials. But he had done such a foolish thing in front of me. Perhaps, without me, he would still be that free, easy–going, and righteous Klein. Klein was very agitated. “Bella, I did something wrong. I now realize that I was wrong. How can I push the blame onto you? Don‘t worry. I will definitely live a good life in the future.” “As for my feelings for you and Lucky, that‘s my freedom, isn‘t it? Of course, I won‘t disturb your life with Lucky.”
I knew that what I had just said had completely destroyed Klein‘s self–esteem, and so I began to blame myself. I didn‘t know what to say.
Then, Klein took a deep breath, then said, “Enough. I still have some business to attend to. Take good care of yourself. If there‘s a chance, I‘ll go visit Lucky. Goodbye!”
After that, he hung up the phone.
Hanging up the phone, I let out a sigh of relief. Finally, I informed Klein. It seemed as though my guess was correct. He didn‘t want to meet me, which was why he hadn‘t returned home for such a long time. Actually, this was just as well. He didn‘t want the two of us to feel awkward. 1 packed up my things and said to Jane, “I‘m sorry, I have to leave with you. Thank you for taking care of me and Lucky for so long.” “Miss Stepanek, if you need anything in the future, feel free to look for me. It doesn‘t matter how much money you pay. I‘m willing to help you take care of Lucky,” said Jane. Hearing this, my eyes turned red and I said, “Okay.” Then, Joey came to pick me up. I carried Lucky, then Joey pulled two large suitcases and we left Klein‘s house.
From that day on, i entered the most difficult stage of my life. In the morning, Joey went to work. I had to take care of Lucky while doing housework and managing my online shop. In the afternoon, while Lucky was asleep, I began to pack up the goods. In the evening, after Joey came back, Joey helped to watch over Lucky and I made dinner. After the meal, I washed the bowls and chopsticks and gave Lucky a shower. After I coaxed her to sleep, I couldn‘t stand up straight.
Joey was also very busy now. She often worked overtime on weekends, and sometimes she had to go on a business trip.
Seeing that I was so tired, Joey frowned and said, “Bella, how can you last it if it goes on like this? Why don‘t you hire a nanny to look after Lucky? You can find a job. You have a CPA certificate now, so your salary should be very high.” I forced a smile and said, “I can‘t just hand Lucky over to the nanny. Besides, if we really hire a nanny, our family is so small. If we rent a bigger house, it will cost more every month. My salary will be paid to the nanny, and then there will be almost no money left after we rent a house.” “That‘s true.” Joey nodded. Then, I looked at the goods on the balcony and said, “Now my business is getting better. I can earn thousands of dollars a month, and I can take care of Lucky. I don‘t need to rent a big house. It‘s good now.” “It‘s just that you‘ve worked so hard,” Joey said helplessly. With a hopeful look on my face, I said, “Isn‘t it hard to go out to work? Not only do I have to bury myself in work, but I also have to curry favor with my superiors and deal with the relationship with my colleagues. It‘s also tiring. I‘m working hard to expand my company. I want to buy more goods for the company, and my income will definitely increase. When Lucky goes to kindergarten, I‘ll go out to find a job, and the company will become my side job.” Joey turned to look at Lucky sleeping on the sofa bed and said, “Hold on for two more years. Lucky will go to kindergarten soon.” I caressed Lucky‘s chubby little hand and said, “T‘ll try to save up some money in these two years, and then it‘ll be enough for the down payment of a small house. I‘ll have a home with her in the future. And you, now that your mother is gone, you don‘t have any burden left. Save some money
and buy a small house. At least you don‘t have to rent a house everywhere in the future.” Unexpectedly, Joey said, “I’ve been living a hard life for so many years. I don‘t want to continue to save money. My next priority is to enjoy life!”
