Bride of Mr.Billion (Bella and Herbert) novel Chapter 398

Chapter 398

Bella‘s POV:

From now on, I would try my best to avoid spending time alone with Herbert.

When he was in New York, I stayed at home to accompany the children. When he came back, I was very busy. Sometimes, I would find an excuse and tell him that I was busy, but I would stay at Joey‘s house for a night.

When I really couldn‘t avoid it, I felt that Herbert and I were no longer like before. I couldn‘t find the feeling of the past.

In fact, only I knew how cowardly I was. I knew that he went to the couple‘s restaurant with another woman. But I didn‘t have the courage to question him or leave.

I loved him, but I also cared about that very much.

I couldn‘t let it go, but I couldn‘t leave completely.

I still needed some time.

I needed some time to make a decision

That night, Lucas and Lucky were both asleep. I took a shower and went out of the bathroom in my bathrobe.

As soon as I got to the bed, a pair of strong arms wrapped around my waist! I immediately tensed up and my body stiffened. “What‘s wrong with you?” Herbert asked me, his voice full of concern.

If it was before, I would definitely be very happy.

At least he cared about me. However, right now, I only felt that he was so hypocritical. “I‘m a little tired.” I pretended to be very tired. These days, I had been trying to avoid having intimacy with him. I was either avoiding him or using my period as an excuse. There was no way to avoid him today. I could only say that I was very tired. However, the man behind me did not give up. He lowered his head and kissed me on the back of my neck a few times. Then he whispered in my ear, “How long has it been since we last did it? Don’t you miss me?” Ever since I saw him having dinner with a young girl in New York, I had been very cold to him. As for Herbert, he treated me the same way he used to.

It seemed that Connor was extremely obedient. He did not tell Herbert about that matter. To be honest, I still hadn‘t thought of what to do. Perhaps, I wasn‘t willing to face it, right? However, couldn‘t cross the threshold in my heart.

I didn’t respond to Herbert’s enthusiasm at all. I reached out to push him away and said, “Herbert, I‘m really tired. I‘m not interested at all!” After that, I turned around and got on the bed.

Seeing that I was so cold to him, Herbert couldn‘t figure it out. Then, he sat on the bed, reached out to hold my hand, and said, “Have I been too busy recently and neglected you?”

“No, I have also been very busy.” I turned over and didn‘t want to meet his eyes. However, Herbert refused to give up. He put his face close to my ear and said, “No, your attitude is not right. Did I do something wrong? Or did I forget something about the occasion that should be celebrated? I’ve been too busy recently. If I forget something, you must remind me!”

At this moment, I could only feel that Herbert was a hypocrite. He could be intimate with that young girl and often went to New York for her. But when he came back, he was gentle and considerate to me, as if nothing had happened. “Hey, Herbert, what the hell are you playing? Do you not want to get married just because you want to fool around?”

“Could it be that you don‘t want to marry me because you want to marry that young girl?”
