Chapter 449

Bella‘s POV: “Why do you suddenly want to ask this?” Seeing that Herbert‘s attitude was a little suspicious, I said very seriously, “You have to tell the truth. Don‘t lie to me!”

Herbert looked at me and said, “In fact, there‘s nothing to lie about. He came to me twice again.”

Hearing that Ryan really went to find Herbert, I asked anxiously, “How much did you give him?” “Not much. I gave you 1,500 dollars at a time. 3,000 dollars in total.” Herbert answered truthfully. Hearing this, I couldn‘t help but feel a little anxious. “You gave him 1,500 dollars last time, but it‘s only been a few days before you gave him another 3,000 dollars. He will be more and more greedy.

Maybe he will ask you for 15,000 dollars or even 150,000 dollars!”

Herbert reached out and touched my face. “Now you only care about me. You‘re afraid that I‘ll spend more money, aren‘t you?”

Hearing this, I couldn‘t help but pull his hand down. “I’m serious. Don‘t joke around.”

Herbert grabbed my hand and said, “Don‘t worry. I know what I‘m doing. I‘ve seen so many people in the business world for so many years.”

“You‘ve never seen someone as shameless as Ryan.” I snorted.

Herbert said, “He was homeless a while ago, so he recently rented a house. You know that the rent in A City is very expensive now, and he has to give some deposit to the landlord, so the 1,500 dollars is just enough for him to rent a house. After he rented a house, he has to buy some furniture, electrical appliances, and so on. These all need money.”

“I‘m sorry. I‘m just a little afraid that he will cling to you in the future.” Hearing this, I also felt that what Herbert said was reasonable, so my voice softened.

“I know. You‘re worried that I‘ll spend more money. You care about me and like me. I‘m very happy.”

Herbert teased.

“Don‘t give him any more money in the future,” I said as I was still worried.

“I understand. Now that he has rented a house and bought some daily necessities, I will only give him 700 dollars every month in the future, which is enough for him to live, but I won‘t let him splurge,” said Herbert.

“Mm.” I nodded, and then I said unwillingly, “Well, in fact, I have always wanted to distance myself from him for so many years, but he has been living with my mother, my sister, and me for so many years. I can‘t get rid of him. Now he even wants to ask for money from you often. My previous persistence has turned into bubbles, but it seems that I have no choice.”

Herbert consoled me. “Although you don‘t want to admit it, he has a blood relationship with you after all.

This is a fact that can never be changed. If you force him to a dead end, just like today‘s accident, I know that you will feel uneasy for the rest of your life. I just need to spend a little money so you won‘t have to feel sad at that time.”

At this moment, I was very touched and very happy when I looked at Herbert‘s eyes. I was moved by everything he had done for me. I was glad that he really understood me.

What‘s more, I did think so just now.

“Thank you.” I was moved, but in the end, I only said these two words.

Herbert shook my shoulder and said, “Remember, we are husband and wife, and we are a family. This is naturally what I should do.”

A family... I felt very warm in my heart.

Connor drove the car to the building where I went to work.

Before getting out of the car, Herbert took my hand and said, “Let‘s have lunch together at noon?”

“I‘m okay with it if it‘s your treat.” I rolled my eyes and said.

Herbert laughed. “There‘s a good restaurant nearby. I‘ve already owed the boss a lot of money. Let‘s have another meal at noon today.”

I knew that he was joking. With his wealth, he could even buy a restaurant.

“I don‘t have an opinion. Anyway, it‘s you who owes the money.” I chuckled and got out of the car.

I got out of the car and went straight into the building.

As soon as I entered the building, I quickly moved to the side, and secretly stood at the glass door and looked out.

As I had expected, at this time, Herbert‘s car slowly drove into the lane.

This was exactly what his way of doing. He had to wait until he saw me enter the building, and only then would he have Connor drive the car away.

I watched as his car drove further and further away.

It was clear that we had just parted ways, but I had already begun to miss him.

But we could continue to meet after work.

This kind of life was so good.

I really hoped that I could live happily with him all the time.

I hoped there wouldn‘t be any changes in my life. I hoped the children could grow up healthy, and I hoped that I could grow old with Herbert. When we were old, we would sit on the rocking chairs and watch the sunrise and sunset together.

It was just a fantasy, but it felt like a wonderful thing.

As soon as I stepped into the office, Joey held my hand and kept nagging. “Have you heard? Daniel Morgan jumped off the building last night!”

I walked into my office and nodded. “I‘ve already heard of the big news.”

Joey sighed and said, “It‘s said that he jumped off the roof of the K.G. Software Company. It‘s more than 30 floors. I heard that his brain had splattered everywhere.”

Hearing this, I covered my chest and said, “It‘s early in the morning. Don‘t disgust me, okay?”

“But he is not pitiful. After all, he is so heartless to his ex wife and his son. This is retribution!” Joey said.

“Well, he has been punished. Don‘t mention it anymore.” I sat on the desk. I didn‘t want to hear any more news about Daniel Morgan as I felt a little upset Joey turned around and sat opposite me. “Okay,” she said with a smile. “Then let‘s not talk about 11:48 ) Daniel Morgan, Hey, what do you think will happen to Connie and her daughter if he dies?” “Their good days are coming to an end,” I replied.

Joey crossed her arms in front of her chest, thought for a moment, and said, “I don‘t think they will suffer too much. Think about it. During the period of Connie‘s stay with Daniel Morgan, she must have saved some money, right? Even if she doesn‘t have much cash, there should be a lot of jewelry, diamonds, luxury bags, and clothes. These are enough for them to spend a long time.” Hearing that, I thought, “Connie won‘t let herself suffer a loss. I just didn‘t expect that she would become a widow after Daniel Morgan died last night. I didn‘t expect that it would become a reality after just one night.”
