Bride of Mr.Billion (Bella and Herbert) novel Chapter 80

Chapter 80

Bella‘s POV:

“I‘m leaving. Do you have anything to say to me?” Herbert suddenly said to me. What could I say to him? I shook my head and said nothing.

“Okay, I‘m leaving!” There was a hint of anger in Herbert‘s voice. Was he angry again? I really didn‘t understand why he was angry. After Herbert left, Miranda sighed. “Mrs. Wharton, don‘t be too stubborn. Be gentle and only then will you be able to keep Mr. Wharton here.”

I didn‘t answer her. I couldn‘t help thinking, “Would he stay if I was gentle to him?” If I could make him fall in love with me by being gentle and not stubborn, I was very willing to do that.

I was afraid that no matter what I did, he would only despise me.

In the following period of time, he did not appear again. Mother often came to accompany me. Every time she came, she asked me why she hasn‘t seen Herbert.

I didn‘t want mother to worry about me, so I always said that he was busy with his work, or that he went to work in another city. Fortunately, mother didn‘t ask any more questions, because she had seen Connor send things over a few times. Each time, he would say that he was ordered by Herbert to do so.

Mother said Herbert cared about me. Otherwise, she wouldn‘t often ask people to send things here, and they were very valuable items.

In fact, I knew that Herbert didn‘t care about these little money at all. He was not a stingy person. He was never stingy with the people around him. But being generous didn‘t mean that he cared. On Sunday, Betty came to see me and told me a piece of news. “Sister, Hank has been asking me about your recent situation.” Betty said as she was eating an apple. Hearing this, I frowned. “What Hank? He‘s your teacher now!” Betty, however, was very stubborn. “It‘s too serious to call him Professor. It‘s better to call him Hank.”

I didn‘t pursue the issue of how she addressed him, and then asked curiously, “Why was Hank always asking about me?” Although I met Hank a few times last time, it was also because of Betty‘s university education. We haven‘t contacted each other for the past few months. “Probably because he knew you were having a baby, he wanted to give you a gift.” Betty guessed.

1905 I said, “Didn‘t you tell him that the child was gone?” “Yes.” Betty said. So Hank knew that my child was gone? Maybe Hank knew that I had experienced the pain of losing my child, so he was worried about me? In fact, I was very grateful to Hank for his concern, but I couldn‘t get too close to him. Firstly, I didn‘t want to let Herbert misunderstand me, and secondly, I didn‘t want to give Hank any hope, because I wouldn‘t fall in love with him.

After a while, I said to Betty, “If he asks you again, just tell him that my body and mood have recovered very well, and I have a very good relationship with my husband.” “Alright, I‘ll just say it to him.” Betty agreed. After that, Betty told me a lot of interesting things about NF University. Of course, more than half of the interesting things were related to Hank. It was as if Betty‘s eyes were shining when she mentioned of Hank.
