Chapter 358
Bella’s POV:
Linda then took out a light blue card from the bouquet and said, “Although a bunch of yellow roses can‘t offset one in ten thousand of my apologies to you, I will still send them to you every day to apologize to you until you accept my apology.” Hearing that, I frowned. He was so gentle. These words were actually written by Herbert.
Then Linda handed me the card in her hand.
I took it and looked down. The familiar handwriting on the card was obviously his handwriting.
I opened my mouth and didn‘t know what to say. Then I returned the card to Linda with both hands. Linda took the card and put it into her notebook.
I felt a little strange. If Linda wanted to show off in front of Herbert‘s ex–wife, there was no need for her to take out such an apology card, right?
Shouldn‘t she take out a card that stated “I love you” or “I miss you“?
Then, Linda raised her head and said with a slight smile, “Bella, please tell Herbert that I don’t blame him, so I don’t want him to send yellow roses every day. If he really sends yellow roses over for another ten thousand days, I’m afraid I will love him more.”
“Linda, Herbert and I...” Before I could finish my words, Linda interrupted me. “Bella, don‘t deny it. That will only deepen my sense of frustration.”
Linda turned her head to look at the tall buildings and the blue sky outside the window and said, “I can see that he loves you. The way he looks at you is special. He is willing to pay any price for you. I know
that although he has been with me on Puji Island for three days, his heart has never belonged to me. Maybe I overestimated myself too much. I thought that as long as I could stay with him for a few days, he would definitely fall in love with me.”
“You are a charming and beautiful lady.” I said sincerely.
“But he doesn’t love me. This is the charm of love. Love is not limited by wealth, age, and appearance.” Linda struggled to pull up her lips. “I don‘t know what he is thinking, but I know that he must appreciate you very much in his heart. He has always been a man who acts as he pleases. I didn‘t expect him to care so much about you forgiving him.” I was telling the truth and was touched by Linda’s words. I believed that Linda was different from those superficial women. She wouldn’t fall in love with him because of the halo on Herbert.
“You must know that he only told people that it was me who didn’t want him because he was afraid that I would be embarrassed in front of everyone. But the more he acts like this, the more I like him. He is a responsible man. Bella, I‘m envious of you!” Linda said. Hearing this, I couldn‘t help frowning and then said with a smile, “If you knew what kind of family! came from, or what kind of childhood I had, you wouldn‘t have said that.” “But you have the love of Herbert and your two children. I feel that these are the greatest happiness
I can have, but unfortunately, they are all yours.” Linda’s tone was a little agitated.
“Linda, you…” I wanted to comfort her:
However, Linda interrupted me. “Bella, I said these things to you frankly to prove that I won’t be jealous of you or blame him. It‘s you who met him first. I will bury this feeling in my heart in the future. Well, I just want to make sure that you‘re aware of what I think. You can go out now. I need some peace!”
After that, Linda turned to look at the yellow roses on the table and went into a daze. She completely ignored me, who was sitting opposite her. I looked at Linda for a few seconds and then left.
I walked in the corridor with the documents in my arms. My feelings were very complicated. When I was about to get off work in the afternoon, I couldn‘t rest assured, so I called Gary. “Gary, how is Lucky doing?”
“Miss Stepanek, Lucky didn’t have a fever for a whole day, but she didn’t sleep during the day. Now that she’s just fallen asleep. I think she’ll be sleeping until tomorrow morning. That’s why I won’t be able to send her to your place today. If you‘re worried, you can come over and stay here.” Gary laughed.
I had thought about it. I had to visit my mother tonight, and I hadn’t figured out how to face Herbert yet.
I said, “Gary, I have nothing to worry about when you‘re the one taking care of Lucky. I happen to have something to do tonight, so I won‘t go there.”
After that, I hung up the phone.
When I got off work, I began to walk to my mother‘s house.
I had been busy with my work these days, or I had been troubled by my work. I didn’t want my mom to worry about me, so I hadn‘t gone back. I could stay with my mom tonight. “Mom!” I just arrived at the door and happened to meet my mom.
A smile appeared on my mother’s face. “Bella, come in!”
As we walked, mom asked, “How have you been recently?”
“Mom, I‘m promoted,” I said bluntly. As for other things, I didn‘t intend to tell her. I didn‘t want her to
worry. I walked into the kitchen and prepared dinner with mom. My mother asked happily, “This is really good news. We haven‘t had such good news for a long time.” “That‘s great. Alas, I hope Betty‘s life will get better too.” My mother sighed.
I asked, “Mom, how‘s Betty?”NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
