Chapter 386

Bella’s POV:

My mother was silent and didn‘t say anything. I asked, “Mom, if you can‘t tell me, it doesn‘t matter.” I was showing respect for my mother‘s wishes, and she didn‘t have to tell me. My mother said, “Betty asked me to remarry your father again.”

S Hearing this, I was stunned!

When I came to my senses, I asked anxiously. “Mom, did you promise Betty to consider this matter?”

Betty used to hate Ryan more than I did, and she felt disgusted to see him. Now she was trying to persuade my mother to get married to Ryan again.

My mother said helplessly, “How can I do that? I‘m happy with my life now. I don‘t want to find another man, and I won‘t get back with Ryan anymore.”

Hearing this, I was relieved. “Then why don‘t you refuse her directly?”

Speaking of this, my mother sighed. “Ryan lives in Betty‘s house now and he probably gave Betty all kinds of dirty ideas, which will make the relationship between her and Hank worse. I just don‘t want Ryan to live in Betty‘s house anymore, but he has nowhere to go...” At this time, I finally understood that my mother was thinking for Betty. But if she remarried Ryan again for Betty‘s marriage, she would only suffer more in the future. “Mom, Betty‘s marriage may no longer be saved. Please don’t get yourself involved. If you marry Ryan again, you will never have a good life!” | grabbed her hand and said sincerely, My mother sighed. “How could I not know that? But can‘t Betty and Hank get back together?”

Although I couldn‘t bear to let mom worry about them, I had to tell her the truth. I couldn‘t just watch her fall into another fire pit.

I turned around and went back into the kitchen. As I was cleaning the ingredients, I said, “Look at Betty’s current state. Will Hank like a person who has no pursuit and only knows how to create contradictions?”

My mother nodded. “Betty has changed. She‘s no longer the Betty she used to be. Right now, she. just goes shopping, visits the beauty salon, and goes to the gym every day. Otherwise, she‘ll have a gathering with a bunch of friends. Anne was sent to an international kindergarten by her grandparents.

I‘ve advised her to go out and find a job. No matter what, she‘s graduated from a college. She can‘t abandon herself at such a young age, but she doesn‘t listen to me at all and continues living like this.”

I frowned. Although I was worried, I couldn‘t change anything now. My mother continued nagging, “Hank found a job in the training school in the past few months. It‘s said that his salary is very high. After all, he‘s a university professor. Now he gives Betty 3000 dollars to spend every month. Betty will always finish spending everything.” “Does she think she can get rid of her hatred for Hank if she spends his money like this?” I shook my head.

“Ah, so does Hank. He should accompany Betty after work. But Betty said that he wouldn‘t go home every day and said that he would work overtime when she called, so Betty sometimes couldn‘t see him for a few days. When will her miserable days come to an end?” My mother was worried while kneading the dough. Seeing my mother‘s worried look, I could only persuade her, “Mom, it‘s Betty‘s choice. Since she could let go of her pride and life just to keep this marriage, she should have known that not only Hank but also her were tied up in this marriage.”

“I sometimes thought that it would be better for her to get a divorce with Hank. Anyway, she is still young, so she can start over,” my mother said with a frown.

I forced a smile and said, “If she wants to start over, she has to be financially independent first. She can‘t be mentally independent as well now. How can she start over? Mom, she can only rely on herself for this matter.”

“That‘s true.” My mother nodded helplessly. Then, my mother shifted the topic to me. “By the way you and Herbert have moved to live together for a long time. When will you get married again?” “Oh, he‘s busy for the time being. We will see how it goes later,” I replied. “The second marriage is just a matter of procedure. How busy can he be? You‘ll get the marriage certificate in half an hour after you go to the Civil Affairs Bureau.” My mother said.

But I merely smiled. “Mom, we‘ve never held a wedding. We want it to be grand this time, so we need some time to prepare for it. There‘s no rush.” I didn‘t tell my mother that he wasn‘t going to marry me My mother nodded and said, “It‘s up to you to decide on your own.”

I enjoyed the dumplings with my mother.

After the meal, I thought about it in my heart and said directly, “Mom, if you feel that you are not happy in A City, why don‘t I buy a small house in New York? Do you want to move in? In this way, you won‘t be bothered by Ryan again in the future.” Hearing this, my mother was stunned for a long time, and finally shook her head. “No, I can‘t be at ease with Betty‘s current situation. I‘m not worried about you. But I always feel very uneasy about Betty. I feel that Betty will get into trouble if she goes on like this.”

“Mom, Betty is such a big person. What can happen to her?” I said.

My mother finally said firmly, “I can‘t leave here now. What if you and Betty need my help and I‘m not here? What should you do?”
