Chapter 267
Bride of Mr.Billion
Bellaâs POV: I hid my true feelings. âItâs none of my business whether you get married or not. You donât have to tell me these things.â âBut it has something to do with our children. Herbert frowned. Hearing this, I also frowned. Herbert hesitated for a moment, then said, âIf I donât get married again, it will be better for the children to live with me.â I knew that Herbert was not a person who would simply give a promise. His idea really made me feel moved, but we had a long way to go. Who knew what would happen in the future? Therefore, I stood up and said, âSince you have no objection to the plan of raising the children, letâs do it according to the current plan we have. As for the future, no one can be sure. I think it depends on the situation!â He slowly stood up and nodded. âI agree.â âIâll go get Lucas.â I turned around and walked in the direction of Lucas. However, Herbert looked at my back and said, âYouâll get married in three days. Iâll send Lucas over after your marriage so that he wonât affect your wedding!â I stopped walking, but I didnât look back in the end. Hearing the sarcasm in his tone, I said loudly. âThank you for your understanding! After that, I continued to move forward A few minutes later, Herbert walked away, holding Lucasâs hand. I was very upset when I saw Lucas keep looking back from time to time, but I couldnât do anything about it.
Then, Jane pushed Lucky over.
âLucky is hungry. Itâs time to feed her milk,â said Jane with a smile. I suddenly felt a little depressed, so I said to Jane, âI want to take a walk. You can take Lucky back to drink milk first.â
âOkay.â Then Jane pushed Lucky home. I strolled aimlessly in the park. Thinking back to what Herbert had said just now, there was a certain reason behind it, but I definitely wouldnât give in. Herbert and I couldnât go back, and I had confidence in Klein. I even thought of not giving birth to a child in the future, but it seemed too unfair to Klein. After all, he needed a childâ¦
Just then, I received a call.
It was a call from Connor.
âWhatâs the matter? Connor wasnât very enthusiastic, because he was one of Herbertâs men.
âMrs. Stepanek, I think I have to tell you something.â Connor continued, âActually, I was the one who forced you to undergo a Câcut surgery at the hospital. Back then, Mr. Wharton was in a very difficult situation. He didnât want to lose Lucas, nor Chapler 267 did he want to continue hurting you.â âThat day, he was in the hospital to take care of Lucas. I went straight to you with my men.â âMe Wharton has never allowed me to tell you. He said that this matter was his responsibility to begin with. I only did one last thing for him.â âMrs. Stepanek, itâs not that he doesnât care about your feelings. Itâs just that there really wasnât any other way back then.â I was stunned. After a moment of silence, I said, âSince the situation had reached such a critical state, why didnât you tell me?
Why did you choose to hide it from me?â âMrs. Stepanek, if I told you at that time, you might have agreed to have a Câcut in advance, but in that case, you would have strong guilt for both of your children. And at that time, there was only a 50% chance that Lucas would be cured. What if Lucas was not cured? What kind of pain would you suffer?â
Connor continued, âIt was precisely because Mr. Wharton had thought of this that he chose not to tell you.â
âThatâs what I wanted to say. Mrs. Stepanek. I hope you can reconsider your relationship with Mr.
Wharton again.â
I didnât answer and hung up the phone directly. Connorâs call made my complex emotions even more complicated. Although I knew that these things were all caused by Herbert, after hearing Connorâs words, I really didnât know what to do.
No, I couldnât continue to think about it.
I couldnât waver, I couldnât.
In order not to continue to be affected by my emotions, I chose to temporarily not think of anything. I strolled through the park. After a long time, when I wanted to go home, I walked to a patch of Holly.
Suddenly, I saw Klein standing in front of me. My heart was filled with joy when I saw him. âHe must have heard from Jane that Iâm here when he went back, so he came looking for me because heâs worried about me, isnât he? This was how Klein was. He was very considerate and caring towards me. He thought of Lucky as his own daughter. Even if he had his own child in the future, he would not be bad to Lucky and Lucas, I firmly believed that And then, I waved my hand, wanting to call Klein over. But just as I was about to speak, I suddenly saw two men walk to Klein.
One of the men was fat and another one was thin. I couldnât help but frown.
Why did these two men look so familiar? It was as if i had seen them somewhere before. My hand froze in the air because I soon remembered that this fal man and the skinny man were the two bastards who had bullied me two years ago in Qingshan Mountain. When I suddenly saw them here, I was shocked and angry. I could call the police to arrest them immediately.
But why were the two of them together with Klein? I saw that there seemed to be some sort of dispute between the three of them. Could it be that they knew each other? The next moment, I instinctively squatted down and carefully observed what they were doing. At this moment, my entire body was trembling. It seemed as though things werenât that simple. It seemed as though Klein had made a deal with those two men. Alterward, I slowly moved to the side of the plant, secretly watching the actions of Klein and those two b*stards.
After saying a few words to the two men, he took out a leather envelope from his suit and handed it to the fat man. The fat man said a few more words and then left with the thin man. At this moment, I was extremely shocked! I was certain that the leather envelope contained money, but why would Klein give money to those two people? I was not a fool. I could figure out everything just by thinking about these things. Could it be that the fat man and the skinny man didnât come to me after being instructed by Connie and Emma but they were only listening to Kleinâs orders? Thinking of this, I couldnât believe my judgment.
No! Klein wasnât that sort of person. He definitely wasnât.
Afterward, I looked outside and saw Klein looking around before leaving. What secrets were there between them? I crouched there, curling up, feeling so cold. I didnât know who else to trust in this world.
Even Klein was scheming against me. I thought about it for a long time and found it a little strange. Two years had passed since that event. Logically speaking, Klein and the two men should have finished their trade long ago. Why were they still in touch with each other? Could it be that those two people were extorting Klein? Or was it that Klein and those two people were still making secret deals?
I wandered around the park for a long time before I went back. As soon as I entered the door, Klein greeted me with a smile. âWhere did you go? Why did you come back so late?
Feeling a little worried, I looked at him and replied, âI took a walk in the park for a while.â
Hearing this, Klein was stunned, and his expression was somewhat unnatural. âItâs quite cold today Why did you go to the park? Actually, the look on Kleinâs face just now had already told me that the relationship between him and those two people was definitely abnormal. But I still didnât want to believe that Klein would do something like that. I asked tentatively, âKlein, where were you just now?â âIâve been at home ever since I came back from the company. I was just thinking of looking for you.â Kleinâs words were very sincere. But I knew he was lying.
The more he hid, the more suspicious I became. At this moment, Klein stepped forward and held my shoulders, asking, âWhatâs wrong with you? Why do you look so pale?â Iâm a little uncomfortable. Iâm going to rest.â I pushed Kleinâs hand away, then turned and went back to my bedroom. Lying on the pillow. I was extremely tired, both physically and mentally. There were only three days left before our wedding day. But now that I had discovered such a dirty thing, what should I do?
