Chapter 279

Bella‘s POV: Joey‘s other relatives knew about her family‘s situation, so they went forward and stopped Joey‘s brother and sister-in-law. Moreover, several uncles criticized them very severely.

Joey‘s brother and sister–in–law turned and left.

In the end, those relatives comforted Joey and left. Joey and I were afraid that her brother and sister-in–

law would come back, so we left quickly.

On the bus, Joey had been crying. “Bella, why do you think there are people like my brother and sister-

in–law? It‘s too much.” “Your brother treats his own mother like this. He must go to hell in the future.” I touched my face angrily It hurt a little. It seemed that I had just been hurt by the mad woman‘s hand. “He will never be my brother again!” Joey wiped her nose with a tissue. I patted Joey on the shoulder to comfort her. I knew that the reason why she cried was because of her mother‘s passing and the lack of family affection.

Brothers and sisters were supposed to be very close.

Now they were more distant than strangers and more hostile to each other than enemies.

I could understand Joey‘s feelings. My situation was actually similar to Joey‘s. My father and sister Betty, who were related to me by blood, were like Joey and her brother now. Only I knew the uncomfortable feeling. My good friend had also experienced such a thing, so I really wanted to comfort her and accompany her. Half an hour later, Joey finally calmed down. “Bella, thank you for keeping me company all the time,” Joey said. Thugged her arm. “We are friends, best friends. We should help each other.” “By the way, what are you going to do in the future?” Joey suddenly asked me. I frowned and said, “I‘ll move out of Klein‘s house first. I‘ve been looking for a house for the past few days. I haven‘t found a suitable one for the time being,” “Why didn‘t you suddenly want to marry Klein?” Joey‘s face was filled with confusion. I didn‘t tell Joey what Klein had done. After all, this was related to his reputation. I decided not to tell anyone. Thus, after pondering for a moment, I had no choice but to say, “I suddenly feel as though I don‘t love him. Being with him is nothing but gratitude and quilt. I don‘t want such a marriage, and this is unfair to him. What he wants is a wife who loves him, and I really don‘t love him enough.” Joey nodded, then sighed. “Actually, it really is a pity. Klein really is a very good man.” “But it doesn‘t matter. We‘ll live on our own in the future.”

Then, Joey suggested, Bella, don‘t find a house. Take Lucky and live with me. My mother used to live with me, so I had no place at all. Now that my mother has left, we can live together. Why don‘t we change a sofa bed in the living room? Hearing that, I looked at Joey’s sincere eyes. I knew Joey was serious. In the past few years, we had always helped each other. I lowered my head and thought about it. I needed to pay the rent and live. There was nowhere to live if Jane followed me. That was why I was planning operate the online shop and take care of Lucky at the same time. Therefore, the next moment, I looked at Joey and said, “Joey, you know that I‘m doing my business online. There will be a lot of goods at home, and Lucky is only one year old. I‘m sure it‘ll be very noisy. Besides, I have Lucas. He‘ll come stay with me from time to time and live with us. You need a lot of patience.” Seeing my embarrassed expression, Joey waved her hand and said, “I know your situation. You usually have a lot of time at home. You can do more housework by the way!” Hearing this, my face lit up with joy. I took Joey‘s hand with a smile and said, “Joey, do you know how big a problem you‘ve solved for me? I really have no other choice now.” “You still have me. Besides, you are my creditor. I still owe you half a year‘s rent and 750 dollars in cash. But I announced in advance that I can‘t pay you back now. My money has been used by my mother. I can only provide you with a place to live now.” In the end, Joey chuckled. “I‘m already very grateful. As for the money, you can give it back to me when you have it, I won‘t forget about it,” I said with a smile. “I knew you wouldn‘t be so generous!” Joey glanced at me. Of course, we were just joking. I didn‘t care whether she paid me back or not. Joey knew that I didn‘t care. Joey and I were as close as family. On this day, when I returned, I wanted to tell Klein that I was going to move out. After all, I had lived in his house for so long, so I had to inform him. But after asking Jane, I learned that Klein hadn‘t been back for the past few days. I couldn‘t help but frown. “Is he deliberately hiding from me?” I thought. After hesitating for a long time, I picked up the phone and dialed Klein‘s number. After the phone rang, it rang for more than ten times before the other end of the line. “Hello?” After pausing for a second, Klein‘s voice rang out.
