Chapter 256

Bella‘s POV: After I dressed up. I put my bag on my shoulder, walked to Lucky, kissed her little face, and then said to her, “I have something to do. I need to go out.” As soon as I stepped out of the door, I saw Klein walk out from the opposite side. Klein asked, ‘Aren‘t you going to work tomorrow? Where are you going so early?” “Oh, I made an appointment with Joey. She‘s going to work tomorrow. So we wanted to meet each other today.” I hurriedly said, but I didn‘t dare to look at him. I was afraid that he would see through 1. me.

I didn’t want Klein to know that I was going to meet with Herbert.

Klein would definitely be extremely heartbroken arid miserable.

But in fact, I just wanted to know the truth. “Didn’t we invite her to be our bridesmaid? We should reward her.” Klein smiled as he walked into the elevator with me. “Where are you both meeting?

I‘ll take you there.” Klein laughed. “We decided to meet at a shopping mall. It‘s not in the same direction as you. Go to work as soon as possible. I‘ll call a taxi.” I refused. Klein frowned, then said, “Fine. Today is the first day of work. There‘s a regular meeting in the morning.” We arrived at the gate of the community. Watching Klein drive away in his car, I called a cab and left.

Klein‘s POV:

Bella finally agreed to my proposal. I felt very happy and uneasy at the same time. I tried my best to calm myself down and not think too much. But this morning, Bella told me that she was going to see Joey at a shopping mall. But I saw Bella‘s taxi heading in another direction. That was not in the direction of the shopping mall.

Bella was lying to me!

At this moment, I was in a panic. Then, the red light turned green, and Bella‘s taxi turned to another direction.

Without hesitation, I followed suit.

In the end, I saw Bella‘s taxi stop in front of the community where Herbert lived. So, Bella came to look for Herbert behind my back? My feelings were very complicated. I really wanted to rush down and question Bella.

But I didn‘t know how to face it... Bella‘s POV The taxi stopped in front of the community where Herbert lived. I paid and got out of the taxi. Looking at the familiar place in front of me, I felt more complicated I used to live here for a period of time. I thought I would never step into this community again, but I didn‘t expect to come here today. I put the bag on my shoulder and walked into the villa in front of me.

Standing in front of the familiar door, I took a deep breath and touched the hard thing in my bag. I resolutely reached out and pressed the doorbell. I told myself in my heart, “If he tries to force me later, I‘ll cut him with a knife!” Ding, dong! After the doorbell only rang twice, someone came and opened the door.

“Bella, come in!” Herbert invited me.

I stepped into the house without any expression on my face. Standing in the center of the house, saw that there was nothing different from when I lived here. Even the curtains were still the same as before I didn‘t know if it was a deliberately reserved or a coincidence, but no matter what it was, it was no longer important. “Do you want juice or coffee?” Herbert asked eagerly. I pulled a long face, turned around, sat on the sofa, and said directly, “No need. Let‘s get to the point. I don‘t want to waste time.”

Hearing this, Herbert turned around and sat on a single-person sofa. He looked at me and asked, “Do you hate me so much now? You don‘t want to stay with me for another minute?‘ “I don‘t hate you, but I detest you. It‘s not that I don‘t want to stay with you for another minute, but I don’t want to stay with you for another second!’ i said.

If it weren‘t for the matter of Lucas, I wouldn‘t have stepped here again, and I wouldn‘t have sat down and talked to him face to face.

Herbert lowered his head and sat there for a moment. Then he took out a cigarette, lit it, and took two deep breaths. When I smelled the pungent smell of smoke, I couldn‘t help but cough twice. I didn‘t want to waste any more time with him. I said impatiently. What do you want me to say? Who gave birth to Lucas?”

“Lucas is our son.” Herbert looked me in the eye and answered.

“You said that we were the ones who gave birth Lucas? Didn‘t you say that my child died? And the hospital also gave a death certificate. Is everything fake?” questioned. “It‘s all fake. I hired someone to forge the hospital‘s death certificate in order to let you think that the child is dead.

So you will never look for the child in the future.” Herbert admitted. Hearing this, I stared at Herbert in disbelief and asked agitatedly, ‘Why did you do this? You raised your son in a dark place, and you are a lunatic! You treat me like a fool, but you still dare to let me believe you!”

I thought what Herbert said was really ridiculous.

Herbert rubbed his hands hard, and then said sadly, “At first, I thought you didn’t love me, and you had Hank in your heart. I couldn‘t accept this fact. I admit that I was too conceited. I‘ve always been proud that there was nothing I couldn‘t get, including feelings. And you wanted to divorce me. In order to make me give up on you and have nothing to do with you in the future, I lied the child died, so that you wouldn‘t compete for the right to raise the child. I lied on impulse at that time. In the future, I had to lie more to fulfill this lie. In fact, I regret it very much now. I shouldn‘t have done this. I‘m sorry, and I‘m also sorry to Lucas!” When Herbert said this, his expression was full of self–blame and guilt. He rubbed his face hard. I had never seen him so sad and regretful... I continued to restrain my emotions and questioned Herbert, “We were going to get married soon after we made peace, and I also met Lucas. Why didn‘t you tell me about Lucas at that time?”

Herbert looked at me deeply and asked, “Do you still remember that we were going to get our marriage certificate that day? I told you I would give you an enormous gift?
