Chapter 377
Bella’s POV:
A few days later, I received another call from Joey.
I immediately asked, “How’s your date with Robert?”
“Don’t mention it. I have driven that man away. We just met, and he touched my waist. Then he came to my company and said that he was very satisfied with me and wanted me to sleep with him.” “This is too much,” I said. “He’s a wretched man,” Joey shouted. I said, “He’s a very reliable man in the company.” “Well, well, I don’t think you should continue introducing men to me. I’d better find someone slowly in the future. If it goes on like this, my heart can’t stand it.”
“Okay.”
I didn’t introduce anyone to Joey anymore. After I got off work, I began to focus on my online business. These days were really wasted. All the time was occupied by the two babies and Herbert. I didn’t have much time to take care of my business. On this day, I was kneeling on the floor and seriously packing things up. There were packages and delivery orders everywhere on the floor.
Herbert was back.
“You’re starting to do online business again?” There was a hint of dissatisfaction in Herbert’s voice.
“Yes.” I looked up and answered. Then I lowered my head and continued to pack up the packages. Herbert stretched out his hand and pulled down the tie around his neck. He squatted down and said to me, “Let’s not do it anymore, okay? You don’t even have enough time to accompany me and the children after work and yet you’re still spending time on this.”
I looked up and smiled. “I’m sorry. These orders are urgent. Next time, I’ll wait until both Lucas and Lucky are asleep before packing them up.” Herbert could not help pulling a long face. “What are you working so hard for?” “To make money.” I chuckled. “Is your life not good now? What do you want so much money for?” Herbert asked in confusion. “To buy a house. I want to buy a house that belongs to myself.” I answered with a smile, but I didn’t stop working. “What house do you want to buy? How much is the budget? I’ll ask my secretary to transfer the money to your account right away.” Herbert said as he took out his mobile phone and was about to make a call.
Hearing this, I frowned. Then I stood up and looked at the person in front of me. “I know you have money, but I want to buy a house that really belongs to me with my own ability.” “What do you think of this villa? If you like it, I’ll transfer it to your name right away. This house belongs to you entirely.” Herbert stepped forward and held my shoulder. “Why don’t you understand? Herbert, I know that as long as I want it, you will hold everything in front Chapter 377

“Is there any difference?” Herbert stared at me in confusion.
I walked to the window, looked into the distance, and said, “You may not know how my childhood came about. My father abandoned the three of us, and my mother could only rely on a part-time job and relatives’ help to raise us. My sister and I had no sense of security since we were young. We were afraid that we would not be able to eat the next meal. We were afraid that my mother would hold us and cry helplessly…”
With a serious look on his face, Herbert stepped forward and hugged me from behind. He wiped the tears on my cheeks with his fingers and said softly, “In the future, let me take care of you. I won‘t let you suffer anymore.”
Hearing the words of the person behind me, my heart was extremely warm, but I still shook my head. “No, I will learn to rely on myself in the future, so that I won’t lose my sense of security.”
“Are you afraid that I’ll abandon you?” Herbert touched my hair and asked dotingly.
