Chapter 23

Bella’s POV:

Herbert’s words made me frown.

Herbert threw this question back to me. The most hateful thing about this man was that he had targeted all his enemies at me. “If I don’t agree to get married, then I won’t have the possibility of giving birth to a child. Because with my working ability, I can hardly provide good living for the child.” 2 So the executioner who killed the child in the end would become me. Although I value self-esteem very much, in the face of my child’s life, I still choose the latter. I looked up at the marriage registration authority in front of me, who had already entered my sight. I turned to Herbert and said, “I cannot agree to clause 7 of the contract.”

I gave up my self-esteem and the child born from love, so I can’t be written on the list and easily taken away by others.

I thought that he would object to my suggestion.

Unexpectedly, he said, “This one is indeed unfair to you, I’ll ask my secretary to remove this one later.”

He agreed very quickly.

I nodded and said, “Okay, I agree to get married.”

At this time, Connor had already parked his car in the parking lot of the marriage registration. We‘ve entered the marriage registration. Maybe we’re the only couple who got married without holding hands or putting our arms around each other’s shoulders.

When I signed the marriage contract, I hesitated for two seconds and finally signed my name.

Without hesitation, he wrote down his name in a carefree manner.

Looking at his calmness, I couldn’t help but think, “Wasn’t it the first time he got married?” When I sat in the car again, I couldn’t believe that I was already married, and my target was Herbert.

There was dead silence in the carriage. No one broke the silence.

Along the way, we sat in the back seat without even looking at each other.

After a while, Connor parked his car in front of my house, but I still hadn’t recovered from it.

“I’m going to make an appointment. You go back and have a rest. I’ll contact you later.” Hearing this, I looked up and saw that the car had stopped at the gate of my own community.

I turned my head and met Herbert’s eyes. I saw no expression on his face.

“Is he driving me out of the car?” I couldn’t help thinking, Bella, oh Bella, what are you thinking about? Do you want to go home with him? He just regarded you as a machine for giving birth. Do you really think you are his wife? Thinking of this, my cheeks felt hot. I nodded quickly. “Okay.” Then i got out of the car.

23:26 I looked at the car driving away and shook my head hard. This was not a dream. Everything was true.

Today, I’m already a married woman, and my husband is the president of my company.

My feelings are very complicated. I married myself just like that.

There was no wedding, wedding dress, ring, or even ceremony. I just got a marriage certificate. I couldn’t help reaching into my bag where there was a marriage certificate.

I took the key and opened the door. Mom just came over.

I smiled and called her, “Mom…”

Pa!

My mother slapped me, and she gave me a slap.

My head felt dizzy. After a while, I felt very sad. I said, “Mom, why did you hit me?” Ever since I graduated from college, I’ve been working hard to support my family and to support my sister in school.

I’ve never done anything wrong.

“Why are you asking? Although I’m cowardly, i’m alam a devout Christian. Have you forgotten how |

taught you since you were a child?” My mother was very angry.

“Mom, what did I do?” At this moment, I seemed to have a hunch in my heart. Could it be that i was pregnant?

Sure enough, my mother pointed at me and asked, “Are you really pregnant?”

“Yes.” I had never lied in front of my mother, so I nodded and admitted it.

Upon hearing this, my mother sat on the sofa with tears in her eyes. “You’ve gone too far. Have you forgotten the doctrine of the Holy books? You can’t be lewd. You can’t get pregnant before getting married. You can’t get pregnant before marriage.”

How could my mother know about this so soon?

I thought for a long time. In the end, I could only think of one person.

“Emma!”

She must have told my mom! Although I have a lot of anger for Emma at the moment, I still decided to appease my mother first.

After all, Mom is the person I care about the most.

I know how hard it has been for mom to raise me and my sister since I was a child. I don’t want Mom to be disappointed in me.

wa “Mom, listen to me…” “What else can you say? You and your ex-boyfriend have just broken up for a few days. How could you be pregnant? Are you a promiscuity?” Mom was so angry that she hit me a few more times. O I didn’t hide and let my mother hit me. In fact, i knew in my heart that my mother was right.

It was true that I went out to do something, which led to my pregnancy. It’s just that I can’t admit it. It’s not because I’m afraid of being beaten or scolded, but because I’m afraid of making my mom sad. “Mom, you’re really wrong. Although I broke up with my ex-boyfriend not long ago, I didn’t have any bad relationship with him. I met someone who loved me when I was lost. We... we fell in love.

Although I was pregnant before marriage and we’ve already gotten our marriage certificate, we’re officially married. So it’s not against the doctrine of the Holy books. We‘re going to get married. So, we really want to spend the rest of our lives together!” As I spoke, I quickly took out the marriage certificate from my bag. I’m glad that I agreed to marry Herbert today. Otherwise, I wouldn’t know how to face my mother.

my mother took the marriage certificate with suspicion and began to carefully check it. “Herbert?” Susan read the name on the marriage certificate. “Yes.” I nodded hastily. “How old is he this year?” Asked Susan. I was a little stunned. I didn’t know the age of Herbert, but I quickly glanced at the date of birth on the marriage certificate. He was four years older than me, so I quickly answered, “Twenty-nine years old.” “Who else in his family? What does his parents do? What does he do? What’s his personality like?”

The female officer asked a series of questions.

Trolled my eyes and could only come up with an excuse. “He’s the only son of family. His family lives in a remote mountain village. His family background… is not very good. He’s just a small employee. He can’t afford a house so far, so I don’t dare to bring him back for you to see. But he’s a nice person, and he’s very considerate to me.” Oh my god! I never lied to anyone. I didn’t tell the truth tonight. I can’t lie.

Because a lie had to be made up with a lot of lies. “he have such poor conditions? he is far worse than Hank, whom I asked someone to introduce to you a few days ago.” Susan curled her lips to show her dissatisfaction. “Mom, does that professor look down on me?” In order to stop her from pestering him, I told her that Hank looked down on me the last time I came back on a blind date. “That’s right. No matter how good the person who doesn’t love you is, we won’t marry him. As long as he is good and is willing to make progress, it’s good to be good to you. I won’t dislike him being poor. By the way, you can call him back tomorrow.” My mother finally smiled. 2 But my mother said… that i would bring him home tomorrow? What should i do?
