Chapter 113
Bride of Mr.Billion
Bellaâs POV: My words angered Caroline.
Carolineâs expression became distorted. She raised her hand to hit us.
I immediately said, âIf you dare to hit me, there are cameras everywhere. Your conflict with me has been recorded. I am now working in the best legal company in the city!â | pointed to the camera above my head and warned.
Caroline put down her hand, a wicked smile appeared on her face. âHow could I have forgotten? Youâve seduced Klein yet again. But let me tell you this. Klein definitely wonât marry you. You are just a toy!â
âIf you donât leave now, I wonât be polite to you!â I took a step forward agitatedly, pointing to Caroline and warning her harshly.
Joey grabbed my arm, signaling me not to be impulsive.
In the next moment, Caroline took two steps back, but her words were still tough. âBella, donât be proud.
Someone will teach you a lesson!â
After that, she turned around and walked quickly.
âBah! Shame on you.â Joey cursed at her back. I turned my head to look at Joey. âYou were too impulsive just now. You canât offend such a person because of me. Given her relationship with Herbert, in the future, she might very well harm you. After all, you are still working in the Wharton Group.â .
âIf one day she really marries Boss, I will resign immediately!â Joey shouted.
I frowned and tried to persuade her. âDonât lose your job because of such a person? Itâs really hard to find a job now, especially a job with a good offer like the Wharton Group. Your mother needs a nanny to take care of her, and you need a stable income!â My last sentence immediately made Joey lose her confidence.
Joeyâs mother had a heart attack and was paralyzed on the bed. She couldnât take care of herself anymore.
If she lived in the city, the cost would be too high. Joey couldnât afford it, so she could only send her back to the village and hired a nanny to take care of her. Every weekend, she would go to the village. Her rent, the nannyâs salary, and living expenses had put a lot of pressure on Joey every month. If she were to change to a job that wasnât as good as that of the Wharton Group, she couldnât imagine what life would be like.
âOh, you must be late!â At this time, I looked at the watch on my wrist. It was already past work time.
Seeing that, Joey immediately ran. She turned back and said to me, âIâm leaving. Iâll contact you after work!â
In the afternoon, I went back to ask for a leave. I bought some fruits and went to the villa where Lucas lived.
Tomorrow was the weekend, and I didnât want to meet Herbert, so I chose to go to the villa today. Tcould take a Inok at Lucas In addition I needed to find out the information related to Lucasâs birth.
Trang the doorbell, and Gaynor came to open the door.
âMiss Stepanek?â I knew I happened to appear suddenly. After all, I had nothing to do with this child.
âGaynor, I was nearby handling some business, so I came here to check on Lucas. I miss him.â I tried my best to smile, because I was really not good at lying. âPlease come in. Lucas is still sleeping.â Gaynor led me in, indicating that I must be quiet. Igently walked into the living room and saw the lovely little guy lying on the baby bed, so I couldnât help walking over.
At this moment, Lucas was sleeping soundly on the little quilt with a blue cartoon pattern. There nouth, and two chubby hands were lifted on his head. He was very cute I took a tissue and gently wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth. I was very happy.
âMiss Stepanek, would you like some water?â Gaynor poured a cup of water and placed it on the coffee table.
âThank you.â I turned around and sat on the sofa.
Gaynor looked at the sleeping little boy and said, âLucas is really cute. I have always been responsible for taking care of him. When I left him a few days ago, I felt a lot of reluctance in my heart. Itâs like a cat scratching my heart. I really wanted to see this little baby immediately.â In fact, these words were my real feelings, but I didnât forget why I came here.
After a moment of relaxation, I asked tentatively, âGaynor, have you taken care of him since he was born?â
âThatâs right. Iâve been taking care of Lucas the entire time since Mr. Wharton brought him back from the orphanage.â said Gaynor. âI donât know which familyâs parents are so cruel to abandon such a lovely child.â I said. âGod wonât let go of such parents. Theyâll definitely go to hell in the future.â Gaynor cursed.
âThen which orphanage did he come from?â I asked when it was about time. Gaynor hesitated for a moment, then laughed, âIt seems as though Mr. Wharton mentioned it, but I didnât pay much attention to it. I forgot about it.â âOh.â I was a little disappointed, but there was still a smile on my face.
After a while, Lucas woke up. He looked at me with his small eyes and immediately smiled. I was very happy to see him. He reached out to me and wanted me to hold him. I was also very happy with his enthusiasm. It was not until evening that I got up and was ready to leave. âMiss Stepanek, I know that you like Lucas, and Lucas likes you very much. If you have time, you can come here often.â Gaynor said.
âOf course I will.â Of course, I wouldnât refuse. I really had a special feeling for Lucas. When I came out of the villa, although I was a little disappointed that I didnât find out which orphanage Lucas was adopted from, but I was very satisfied when I saw Lucas.
