Chapter 281
Bella‘s POV: Joey took out eight cosmetic bottles and said with an excited smile, “These are all very good skincare products. After I got my salary yesterday, I bought all the things I want!” Although I hadn‘t used any particularly expensive skincare products, I know these brands. They were not cheap.
“How much are these?” I looked at the bottles and asked.
Joey suddenly stretched out five fingers. “500 dollars?” I widened my eyes. “These are not considered high–end products. A single bottle of the high–end product is worth this price.” Joey hurriedly said. Joey continued, “I want to be in a relationship and get married. I plan to take good care of my face first. If I see the man I like, I will rush to him.” Joey looked at me as she spoke. “Sometimes I really envy you. Even though you have two children now, there are still several outstanding men who like you. I really don‘t understand. In fact, I‘m not worse than you. Why can‘t I meet my true love?” When she said this, Joey stood up, lowered her head to look at her butt and waist, and then touched her face. She was quite annoyed. I couldn‘t help laughing and patted her on the shoulder. “You will definitely meet him.” “When? When I‘m 50 years old?” Joey turned around and went to the bathroom, covering her face.
I looked at Joey with a smile and found her adorable.
Sometimes, I also felt that my relationship with Joey was more intimate than that of sisters. But at the thought of my younger sister...
I wondered if Hank had really resigned from the school. Betty would definitely not divorce, but Hank was very determined. No matter what happened between them, I didn‘t care.
I cared about mom the most.
Mom would definitely be very worried when she saw Betty and Hank quarreling. But I couldn‘t help. I could only live my own life first.
Two months had passed quickly.
The weather in late spring was getting warmer and warmer.
At noon this day, Lucky couldn‘t sleep. No matter how I coaxed her, she just didn‘t want to sleep. I was a little anxious.
Because I hadn‘t packed up the dozens of goods that the customers were waiting for. I was waiting for the time to pack them up when Lucky took her nap in the afternoon. Who knew that the little fellow wouldn‘t sleep today.
“Go to sleep!” I finally pressed her against the pillow, not allowing her to move. “Sob; sob...” She was only one year old, so she would definitely not accept such a hard approach, so she cried sadly.
I really wanted to give her a good beating, but that was my daughter.
I couldn‘t really hit her.
Lucky was crying she she wanted me to hold her. My phone kept ringing. It was the clients who urged me to deliver the goods. I hadn‘t slept well the night before. I was very tired now.
At this moment, I felt helpless and devastated.
How could I live like this? 1 was always very anxious.
After I tried my best to calm myself down, I reached out to hold Lucky in my arms. Just as I was about to coax her, my phone rang again.
But this time, it wasn‘t a customer, it was Herbert.
Only then did I remember that I hadn‘t seen Lucas for two weeks.
Ever since I moved here, Lucas had been here several times. But it was too crowded here, and Lucas was a naughty boy, so he would usually make things more chaotic here. I was afraid that it would affect Joey, so I tried not to let Lucas come here often. But I missed him very much, so I had made up my mind to work hard for two years so that I could buy a small house in the future, and
then Lucas could come to visit me often. While Lucky was crying, I answered the phone.
“Hello?”
“Why is Lucky crying?” This was Herbert‘s voice.
It seemed that Herbert was very anxious. I replied, “She didn‘t want to sleep and I shouted at her.”
I didn‘t know why I said it out loud.
