Chapter 70

Bella‘s POV: I didn‘t even look at Herbert during the whole examination. When the doctor finished saying that I was two kilograms heavier, I heard Herbert say, “Thank you very much. Miranda, send the doctor off.” The doctor and nurse began to walk out with the equipment, and Miranda followed them. Gradually, there were only the both of us in the room. I remained silent, and he didn‘t say anything. After a while, I could clearly feel that he was sitting beside me. Then I saw his hand reaching for my belly.

At this time, my stomach was already slightly bulging. If it was in the past, I would be very happy. Maybe I could let him experience the fetal movement with me. But now, there was only disgust and annoyance in my heart.

I pushed his hand away. “Don‘t touch me!” “Do you think I‘m interested in touching you? I just want to touch my child.” Herbert immediately retorted. Theld back my anger and calmly said to Herbert, “Herbert, since the person you love has come back, why don‘t you divorce me? Even if we are divorced, I will still give birth to the child. If you don‘t divorce me, you and the person you love can‘t get married. Are you willing to see the person you love suffer?” Bella didn‘t understand why Herbert did this. Was it just because she had angered him that he had to maintain his dignity as a man? Or did she have to give birth to a child so that the child could have a normal identity? Herbert seemed to be even angrier. He roared at me, “Bella, you‘re the most self–righteous woman I‘ve ever seen!” “Herbert, don‘t make personal attacks.

I‘m seriously talking to you about what happened between us.” I said. “I have the final say in our affairs.

You don‘t have the right to talk to me about it!” After saying that, he turned around and walked out impatiently. I didn‘t know when he would come back next time, so I wanted to make things clear with him.

I jumped out of bed barefoot and stepped forward to block his way. “What do you want?” Herbert frowned and stared at me. I thought for a moment and said, “I want a divorce!” Herbert asked, “Why are you in such a hurry to divorce me? Are you going to find Hank?” “That‘s my own business.” He was still suspicious of me and Hank? I didn‘t want to explain. He was even angrier. He reached out to grab my arm and said angrily, “You‘re still pregnant with my child, and you can‘t wait to find another man?”

Scanned with CamScanner “You say I‘m unreasonable, but in fact, you‘re unreasonable. You always relate everything to this.” said angrily. “I‘m unreasonable. I‘m telling you, don‘t get close to any man when you‘re pregnant with my child!” With that, he shook off my hand and left angrily. “Herbert...” I called him from behind. It seemed that he didn‘t hear it at all, nor did he intend to stop. Soon, he disappeared. The car soon disappeared in the garden. Herbert‘s POV: In fact, I really wanted to stay there and accompany Bella and our child.

Bella‘s stomach was already very obvious. I heard the doctor say that the child at this time could already hear the sound of the outside world and would have fetal movements. If I put my hand on Bella‘s belly, I would be able to clearly sense the existence of that child. That was the child that belonged to Bella and I.

But Bella‘s anger has not dissipated. As long as I stayed with her, she would mention divorce to me. I hated hearing words about divorce. I never thought of getting a divorce with her. But recently, Bella always mentioned it. It was clear that we were in a good state before this. I had analyzed the reason.

First of all, my guess was because Caroline was back. Bella really cared about her existence.

But every time I tried to explain this matter, Bella showed a very resistant mood. I didn‘t mention it again, because I was worried that her mood would be more intense. But what made me most angry was that Hank. I didn‘t expect that Bella would go to see Hank when I was not at home.

She even quarreled with me and wanted to divorce me for Hank?

At the thought of the man named Hank, I couldn‘t help feeling angry. Divorce? This was something that absolutely could not happen. In order not to let Bella continue to look for Hank, I kept her on the mountain.

To avoid divorce being mentioned again, and to prevent me from affecting Bella‘s mood, I tried my best not to meet her.

Meeting her once a month was what I looked forward to the most and also what I was most worried about That woman could always easily provoke my anger. At this moment, I was smoking in the back seat of the car. The window was half–opened, and the air in the car was still a little choking. But at this moment, I couldn‘t care so much. I was very lonely and depressed. “Connor” I called out the name of my assistant.

“Mr. Wharton, are you alright? I‘ve never seen you like this before.” Connor said. After a while, I said, “Why is there such a woman? No matter how good I am to her, she seems to be Scanned with CamScanner 18:48 unable to perceive it. Why is she always full of aggressiveness against me?” “Are you talking about Mrs. Wharton?” Connor asked. At this time, I suddenly laughed at myself. “How can I tell you this?

You are neither married nor in love. You are not as experienced as me.” Hearing this, Connor held the steering wheel and said with a smile, “It‘s precisely because I think women are troublesome that I‘m not in a relationship.” “That‘s because you haven‘t met a woman who can tempt you.” I looked out of the window at the dark mountains and whispered. “Mr. Wharton, right now, you are a bit...” Connor stopped halfway through his words. “What‘s wrong?” I asked casually. “You‘re a bit worried about your relationship.” Connor said.

All these years, Connor had been my assistant. In addition to the relationship between boss and subordinate, we had a good private relationship. When there was no one else, we would talk like friends.

Connor clearly knew what he should say. This was one of the reasons why he could become my most trustworthy assistant.

That was why when Connor had just said those words, I wasn‘t angry. “You dare to laugh at me?” I couldn‘t help laughing. “I don‘t dare, I don‘t dare.” Connor hurriedly waved his hand. After a round of teasing, I felt much better.

Ring, ring... At this moment, my phone suddenly rang in the car. I took out my phone and looked down at the flashing number on the screen. I frowned slightly, but still answered the phone.

“Hello?” “Herbert, didn‘t you say that you would come to see me tonight? It‘s almost 10 o‘clock now. Why haven‘t you come yet?” It was Caroline‘s gentle voice. T hesitated and said, “I‘m sorry, Caroline. I have something to do tonight, so I can‘t go to see you.” “What‘s the matter? Is it a business or a private affair?”

Caroline asked tentatively. When I heard her question, I was a little impatient.

After all, we were just ordinary friends now, not couples. I didn‘t have to tell her my specific schedule at all.

At this moment, I was a little impatient. “I have something to deal with. I will visit you another day. I am very busy these two days. If you need anything, you can call my secretary Allie. She will help you.”

“But...”

I knew what else she wanted to say, but I didn‘t wait for her to continue. Instead, I said, “Goodbye.” Then I hung up the phone. Caroline Scanned with CamScanner Icouldn‘t help but think of Bella‘s question. She seemed to have thought that the person I liked was Caroline. Perhaps I should find a chance to explain it to her? Icould assure her that Caroline and I don‘t have any relationship. What about Hank and her?

The more I thought about it, the more annoyed I became.
