Chapter 392
Bride of Mr.Billion
Bellaâs POV:
Herbert quickly wrote down a number on the check, then pulled down the check and handed it to me.
I took the check from his hand and looked down. I couldnât help sneering. âTwo hundred thousand dollars?
âYou can pay the compensation for the office building, and then give some compensation to Joey and Amy. It should be enough,â Herbert said seriously.
At this moment, my self-esteem was very hurt.
I wanted to start my own business and he denied me by just a check? Why should I listen to him?
After that, I stubbornly tossed the check in my hand onto Herbertâs clothes. âMr. Wharton, do you think that if you give money to someone else, theyâll do as you say?â
âL...â Herbert narrowed his eyes.
With tears in my eyes, I sneered and said, âBut Iâm afraid iâll disappoint you. Take back your money. It wonât work on me.â
After that, I turned around and went upstairs. When I walked to the stairs, I suddenly turned around and looked at Herbert, saying firmly. âTHI definitely start my own accounting firm, and Iâll achieve something great to show you!â With that, I went upstairs angrily Sitting by the bed, the more I thought about it, the angrier I became, and my tears flowed down, I thought he knew me, but I didnât expect that he would humiliate me with money today He didnât understand me, encourage me, or support me.
He wasnât even honest with me.
Soon after, Herbert pushed the door open and came in.
I walked past him towards the door with my change of clothes and daily necessities in my arms.
At the moment when I walked past him, Herbert reached out and held my arm. âWhere are you going?â
I took a deep breath and replied, âI donât want to quarrel with you. Iâm going to sleep in the second bedroom.â
After that, I was about to leave.
However, Herbert held my arm tightly and raised his voice. âDo you think I want to quarrel with you?
Bella, why canât you understand me? Do you know that ... am very stressed now? I have a lot of work to deal with every day. You just need to take care of this family at home. You donât have to go to work, and you donât have to earn that little amount of money!â My heart ached a little. âLittle amount of money?
Humph, where were you when Lucky and I were starving in the past? Wasnât it just this little amount of money that supported us? Yes, you are in a good mood now and can support us. If one day you are in a bad mood and chase us out of the door, Chante: 392 then are we going to starve to death on the street?â In fact, the reason why I was so angry had something to do with my sense of security. He didnât mention anything about marrying me again. What was the relationship between us? Were we lovers or ordinary couple?
Hearing this, Herbert loosened his grip on my arm and shook his head in disappointment. âThatâs what you think of me?â
I wiped the tears on my cheeks and pretended to be strong. âI have to settle a lot of things with Joey tomorrow morning. I donât have time to quarrel with you here. Donât worry, I will find time to accompany the children. But you havenât been home recently. Shouldnât you take time to accompany them?â
After that, I held the clothes in my arms and went out of the master bedroom.
Bang!
As soon as I walked out of the door, I heard a violent collision behind me.
I guessed that it was the sound of Herbertâs fist hitting against the wardrobe in the room.
I paused and felt a burst of pain in my heart. Then I stubbornly stepped into the second bedroom.
Sitting by the bed, tears welled up in my eyes.
I didnât know why I suddenly quarreled with Herbert. I didnât know why he didnât seem to have any patience for me now. Would a man and a woman quarrel after getting along with each other for a long time?
Although I was very upset, I still fell asleep that night. After all, I was very tired after running around for a whole day The next morning, when I went downstairs, Herbert had already gone to work âMommy, Daddyâs back!â
Lucas, who was sitting at the dining table and eating, shouted excitedly. âMommy, mommy!â Lucky kept shaking her small hands in Garyâs arms when she saw me. âGot it,â I said to Lucas, then walked over to Lucky and sat down at the table with her in my arms. âMommy, why do you seem unhappy this time when daddy is back?â Lucas stared at my face, full of doubts.
I was feeding Lucky and when I heard this, I couldnât help but frown. âWhat do you know, kid? Go to kindergarten as soon as youâre full.â Seeing that I was unhappy today, Lucas lowered his head and muttered, âWomen are troublesome. Mommy was looking forward to daddyâs return when he was not home. Now that daddy is back, mummy is unhappy.â âWhat are you muttering about?â Although Lucasâs voice was low, I was not deaf, so I naturally heard âNo, I mean the porridge made by Miranda is getting tastier and tastier.â Lucas grinned.
I was also amused. After breakfast, I played with Lucky for a while and went out. In fact, I thought a lot last night. I even thought about giving up my career for the sake of Herbert. But then I would lose myself.
And his attitude was so bad that I couldnât give up. Whatâs more, Joey had quit her job for me, and Amy was also ready to open the company with me. couldnât break my promise. Although Herbert didnât agree with me to open an accounting firm, things were going unexpectedly well today. In the afternoon, Joey and I could finally sit in the cafe and eat something to catch our breath. âI, what do you think I should do with my shares? If it goes on like this, Iâll lose all the money learned a few days ago.â Joey finally had time to complain about her shares. I lowered my head, stirred the coffee, and was absentâminded. I had no mood to listen to Joeyâs words. âHey, are you listening to me?â Joey waved her hand in front of me.
âWhat did you say?â Only now did I pull back my soul. Joey looked at me with a frown and asked, âWhatâs wrong with you today? Why are you always lost in thought?â
âI didnât.â I thought I couldnât tell Joey about the quarrel between Herbert and me, because I didnât want to affect the team.
