“Stop!” As soon as I reached the stairs, a stern voice came from behind me. My hand held the railing of the stairs and I didn‘t look back “l instructed you not to go out, but you stayed outside for a whole day before coming back! You did it on purpose!” Herbert‘s voice was actually very loud, as if he wanted to overturn the roof I slowly turned around, raised my chin, and said calmly. “You clearly don‘t love me. Now that the person you love has come back to you, why don‘t you divorce me? Herbert, I understand what you are thinking.”
Hearing my words, Herbert was stunned. He opened his mouth but didn‘t say anything for a long time.
Seeing his expression, I found it funny in my heart. “Does he think that I don‘t know anything?” The next moment, he asked, “How did you know?”

Chapter 66
Bella‘s POV:
“It seems that your ex–girlfriend didn‘t tell you that she came to see me.” I said, “Did Caroline come to see you?” Herbert seemed a little surprised. He reached out and grabbed my wrist “Don’t touch me!” I wanted to shake off his hand. However, he held my hand tightly like a pair of iron pliers, but he didn‘t use as much force as he did yesterday to make my bones hurt. The next moment, Herbert suddenly grinned. “Haha...” “What are you laughing at?” Just now, he was shouting at me, but now he was actually laughing again
“So you‘re jealous!” Herbert stared at me. “What... what are you talking about? Who‘s jealous?” His words made my heart inexplicably panic I hurriedly denied it, but right now, I didn‘t dare to look into his eyes. He was right. These past few days, my reaction was jealousy. But aside from my status as Mrs. Wharton, there was nothing else
What right did I have to be jealous? The person he loved in his heart was not me! Herbert‘s attitude changed very suddenly. He smiled and reached out to pinch my chin. His movements were gentle. He raised my face and forced me to look at him, “Do you like me?” Although it was a question, there was a hint of certainty in his tone
This sentence made me hurriedly push his arm away, turn around, and walk to the sofa. With one hand on the sofa, I hurriedly denied his statement. “How would I like you? What a joke.” “Bella, you can‘t lie to me.” His voice was very close, just above my head, Before I could react, he was already standing behind me “In my heart, you are just my child‘s father.” His approach made my heart beat faster. His breath completely enveloped me, but I was still unwilling to admit that I had fallen for him. Under such circumstances, I didn‘t want to admit that I liked him. “Is that all?” Herbert reached out and held my shoulder. I was facing him.
I was forced to look him in the eye. At this moment, he stared at me, and I could only see myself in
his eyes
Why did he ask me such a question? Why did he force me to admit that I fell in love with him? Did he like me a little in his heart?
When this thought came to my mind, my first reaction was to deny it. How could he like me!
No He loved Caroline. He hadn‘t let her go for so many years. How could he fall in love with me in such a short time? Maybe he felt sorry for me?

But I could clearly see a burning emotion in his eyes, I had been in love before, so I was not unfamiliar with the emotional look in Herbert‘s eyes at the moment.
But I was not sure if what I saw was true.
At this moment, I was confused. What should I do? To admit my feelings for him, to give it a try, to compete with Caroline? Or to never admit my feelings for him, and choose to turn around and leave so he would have nothing to do with me in the future?” Then, the doorbell rang. Miranda went to open the door. Miranda suddenly walked in with a girl in a black uniform and said, “Mrs. Wharton, this lady is looking for you.” At this time, Herbert had let go of the hand on my shoulder I secretly breathed a sigh of relief in my heart and thought, “This person came at the nght time, because I didn‘t know how to answer Herbert‘s questions at all.” ‘May I ask if you are Miss Stepanek?‘ The girl in the black uniform asked very politely “Yes, what can I do for you?” I nodded. I didn‘t remember seeing this girl. The girl took out an ID card from her bag, looked down at it, and then looked up at me for a comparison. Then she said with a smile, “Here‘s the thing. You stayed at our hotel a week ago. You were in such a hurry that you forgot your ID card at our front desk. Looking at the ID card handed over by the girl, I remembered that I was very sad after seeing Caroline that day. I received a call from Joey, so we found a hotel near the cafe and stayed there for the whole afternoon.
It was just that I didn‘t use my ID card these days, so I didn‘t know that my ID card was left at the hotel. “Thank you. By the way, how... bow did you know that I lived here?” I took the ID card and asked curiously The woman smiled and said, “Because our hotel is nearby The last time I passed by here, I saw you entering this community. I asked the security guard at the door, and the security guard told me your house number.”
If I lost my ID card, it would be very troublesome to get a new one. The service of this hotel was very good.
Before I could speak, Herbert asked me directly, ‘Who did you go to the hotel with? Hank? “What nonsense are you talking about?” I didn‘t expect that he would think that Hank and I opened a room at the hotel
He was like an angry lion, and even his hair seemed to stand up straight. I was scared
Bella, you‘re so sharneless. You went to the hotel with another man when you‘re pregnant!
