Chapter 66
Bride of Mr.Billion
âStop!â As soon as I reached the stairs, a stern voice came from behind me. My hand held the railing of the stairs and I didnât look back âl instructed you not to go out, but you stayed outside for a whole day before coming back! You did it on purpose!â Herbertâs voice was actually very loud, as if he wanted to overturn the roof I slowly turned around, raised my chin, and said calmly. âYou clearly donât love me. Now that the person you love has come back to you, why donât you divorce me? Herbert, I understand what you are thinking.â
Hearing my words, Herbert was stunned. He opened his mouth but didnât say anything for a long time.
Seeing his expression, I found it funny in my heart. âDoes he think that I donât know anything?â The next moment, he asked, âHow did you know?â

âIt seems that your exâgirlfriend didnât tell you that she came to see me.â I said, âDid Caroline come to see you?â Herbert seemed a little surprised. He reached out and grabbed my wrist âDonât touch me!â I wanted to shake off his hand. However, he held my hand tightly like a pair of iron pliers, but he didnât use as much force as he did yesterday to make my bones hurt. The next moment, Herbert suddenly grinned.
âHaha...â âWhat are you laughing at?â Just now, he was shouting at me, but now he was actually laughing again âSo youâre jealous!â Herbert stared at me. âWhat... what are you talking about? Whoâs jealous?â His words made my heart inexplicably panic I hurriedly denied it, but right now, I didnât dare to look into his eyes. He was right. These past few days, my reaction was jealousy. But aside from my status as Mrs.
Wharton, there was nothing else What right did I have to be jealous? The person he loved in his heart was not me! Herbertâs attitude changed very suddenly. He smiled and reached out to pinch my chin. His movements were gentle. He raised my face and forced me to look at him, âDo you like me?â Although it was a question, there was a hint of certainty in his tone This sentence made me hurriedly push his arm away, turn around, and walk to the sofa. With one hand on the sofa, I hurriedly denied his statement. âHow would I like you? What a joke.â âBella, you canât lie to me.â His voice was very close, just above my head, Before I could react, he was already standing behind me âIn my heart, you are just my childâs father.â His approach made my heart beat faster. His breath completely enveloped me, but I was still unwilling to admit that I had fallen for him. Under such circumstances, I didnât want to admit that I liked him. âIs that all?â Herbert reached out and held my shoulder. I was facing him.
I was forced to look him in the eye. At this moment, he stared at me, and I could only see myself in his eyes Why did he ask me such a question? Why did he force me to admit that I fell in love with him? Did he like me a little in his heart?
When this thought came to my mind, my first reaction was to deny it. How could he like me!
No He loved Caroline. He hadnât let her go for so many years. How could he fall in love with me in such a short time? Maybe he felt sorry for me?

But I was not sure if what I saw was true.
At this moment, I was confused. What should I do? To admit my feelings for him, to give it a try, to compete with Caroline? Or to never admit my feelings for him, and choose to turn around and leave so he would have nothing to do with me in the future?â Then, the doorbell rang. Miranda went to open the door. Miranda suddenly walked in with a girl in a black uniform and said, âMrs. Wharton, this lady is looking for you.â At this time, Herbert had let go of the hand on my shoulder I secretly breathed a sigh of relief in my heart and thought, âThis person came at the nght time, because I didnât know how to answer Herbertâs questions at all.â âMay I ask if you are Miss Stepanek?â The girl in the black uniform asked very politely âYes, what can I do for you?â I nodded. I didnât remember seeing this girl. The girl took out an ID card from her bag, looked down at it, and then looked up at me for a comparison. Then she said with a smile, âHereâs the thing. You stayed at our hotel a week ago. You were in such a hurry that you forgot your ID card at our front desk. Looking at the ID card handed over by the girl, I remembered that I was very sad after seeing Caroline that day. I received a call from Joey, so we found a hotel near the cafe and stayed there for the whole afternoon.
It was just that I didnât use my ID card these days, so I didnât know that my ID card was left at the hotel.
âThank you. By the way, how... bow did you know that I lived here?â I took the ID card and asked curiously The woman smiled and said, âBecause our hotel is nearby The last time I passed by here, I saw you entering this community. I asked the security guard at the door, and the security guard told me your house number.â
âI see.â I said.
If I lost my ID card, it would be very troublesome to get a new one. The service of this hotel was very good.
âGoodbye.â The girl said goodbye to me After sending the woman out, I turned around and found a pair of cold eyes staring at me Before I could speak, Herbert asked me directly, âWho did you go to the hotel with? Hank? âWhat nonsense are you talking about?â I didnât expect that he would think that Hank and I opened a room at the hotel I didnât want to talk to him, so I turned my head and was about to go upstairs. But in the next second, he grabbed my arm.
He was like an angry lion, and even his hair seemed to stand up straight. I was scared Bella, youâre so sharneless. You went to the hotel with another man when youâre pregnant!
Scanned with CamScanner 1840 Herbertâs words completely irritated me. After that, I raised my hand and gave him a slap in the face!
My hands were shaking. I didnât know if it was because of anger, or because of the impact after I hit him.
We fell into silence. A moment later, it was Herbert who broke the silence first. He held my arm and said, âYou are the most shameless woman I have ever seen. You made a mistake first. How dare you hit your man? Do you really think I donât dare to do anything to you? âI know you dare. Just kill me!â At this time, I was also extremely angry. âIf it werenât for my child in your belly, I would really have killed you!â At this moment, Herbertâs eyes were red. Hearing his words, I sneered and deliberately said, âHow can you be sure that the baby in my belly is yours?â
At this time, I had been completely irritated by Herbert. What I said when I was angry was like a sharp knife. I knew that it would not hurt him, so I poked it hard in that direction. âBella, Iâll warn you again.
Donât challenge my bottom line!â There was already a murderous glint in Herbertâs eyes. At this time, Miranda came over and said, âMrs. Wharton, Mr. Wharton, please stop!â
âItâs none of your business!â Herbert and I shouted at Miranda almost at the same time.
The smell of gunpowder in the air became stronger
