Chapter 408
Bella‘s POV:
Herbert‘s words deeply hurt my self–esteem. I roared at him, “Herbert, no matter how rich and powerful you are, I can choose not to do business with you!”
I didn‘t expect him to say such hurtful words. What did he think I was? A prostitute? Did he think! could sell anything for business?
“Right. You can choose not to do the business I gave you.” At this moment, there was only disappointment in Herbert‘s eyes.
He took a deep look at me, who was staring at him with an imposing manner. Then he shook his head and said, “No wonder you refused my business. It turns out that you just want to go out and try your own ability. Let‘s see if you can pull another man‘s business with your appearance and skills!”
After that, Herbert turned around, walked out, and slammed the door hard.
Looking at the closed door, I couldn‘t help but cover my mouth and cry.
I looked up at the ceiling and covered my mouth with my hands, trying not to cry.
I had had enough. I really didn‘t want to live like this anymore. It seemed that no matter how much I didn‘t want to part with this home, I had to give it up.
Early the next morning, when I went downstairs, Herbert had already gone to work.
I called Joey and told her that I would go to the company a little later this evening. I wanted to accompany Lucas and Lucky for breakfast, and then I would personally send Lucas to the kindergarten If I left here, I could take Lucky away, but I couldn‘t take Lucas away. Lucas had been raised by him, and
he seemed to have the deepest feelings for him. Although I didn‘t want to leave Lucas, I couldn‘t be so selfish.
Lucas was currently in need of all kinds of learning resources. With my current income, I could hardly afford his expenditure.
If I left this place, although I could still see Lucas, I wouldn‘t get along with him day and night like! did now, so I had to spend more time with him in the last few days.”
After feeding Lucky, I looked at Lucas, who was still eating with his head down, and said with a smile, “Eat quickly. Mommy will take you to kindergarten later.”
Hearing this, Lucas was very happy, but he asked in confusion, “Mommy, don‘t you have to go to work today? Why didn‘t you ask Miranda to send me to kindergarten?”
1 hesitated for a moment before I replied with a smile, “Mommy is not busy today, so I want to see you off in person.”
That‘s great. I like Mommy taking me to kindergarten.” After that, Lucas lowered his head and took a big bite of breakfast.
“Eat slowly. Don‘t choke.” I quickly told him, Lucas, who had full of food in his mouth, looked up and said, “I‘ll eat quickly. I don‘t want Mommy to be late for work”
Hearing this, I felt very warm in my heart. I felt that Lucas was really well behaved and sensible, but I

was not competent enough.
Maybe I couldn‘t spend his childhood with him every day, so my heart was full of sadness
Soon, Lucas was full. I carried his schoolbag and kissed Lucky‘s little face. Then I took Lucas‘s hand and walked out of the door
As soon as I stepped out of the gate of the villa, I saw that Connor was driving a black Bentley in front of the gate.
Seeing that Connor had gotten out of the car, i frowned and asked, “Connor, why are you here?”
I looked up and saw that there should be no one else in the Bentley, and Herbert was not in the car.
Connor hurriedly replied, “Mr. Herbert lelta document at home, asking me to come back and take
“I see.” I nodded.
Just as I was about to leave with Lucas, I suddenly stopped in my tracks. Tiurned around and called out to Connor, who was walking towards the villa “Connor”
Hearing the voice, Connor stopped He turned around and looked at me, who was walking over “Miss Stepanek, are you calling me?
I walked in front of him, hesitated for a moment, and then said, “Connor, I have something to ask you. Thope you can tell me the truth.”
Hearing these words, Connor lowered his head and thought for a moment. Only then did he raise his head and say, “You want to ask me who was the girl who had dinner with Mr. Wharton that day, right?” Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
I couldn‘t help but laugh “Connor, you‘re too smart. You know what ‘in thinking.”
Since I had decided to leave, I also wanted to know who that girl was. Did Herbert really love her?
Once I figured everything out, I would completely lose hope and make the decision to leave. I would completely leave Herbert and start my new life
My heart ached at the thought of it.
After all, I still loved Herbert
No matter how much I loved Herbert, as long as he was with other women, I would never compromise.
I must restrain my emotions and think more rationally.
Afterwards, Connor hesitated for a moment, and then replied, “That girl‘s name is Eva Green. Her father and the father of Mr. Wharton are colleagues, and her ancestors have very strong backgrounds.”
Hearing this, the corner of my mouth twitched.
Sure enough, it was about the family background. This Eva Green was indeed a very beautiful and powerful socialite.
The family was even richer than the family of Herbert, and it would be of great help to his career in the future.
As for me, what kind of help could I bring to Herbert? Not only would I not help him in his career, but I would also lower his strength. Even a fool would not choose a woman from a civilian family like myself.
Thinking of this, I sneered and said, “I see. I see. Thank you for telling me.” Just then, Connor hurriedly stepped forward to block my path.
“Miss Stepanek, this isn‘t what you think. Mr. Wharton isn‘t that kind of person!” Connor nervously explained.
“What kind of person is he?‘ I looked up at Connor and asked.
Now, everything was clear. Herbert wasn‘t that kind of person? Wasn‘t he that kind of person who would provoke other girls?
I was very disappointed in Herbert.
Connor was momentarily at a loss for words. He didn‘t know how to reply.
I sneered and said, “Connor, he must have been in contact with this Eva Green for a long time, right? Is he about to get married soon? When is he going to tell me everything? Or is he going to say that he wants to make a family in New York, and then continue to maintain an intimate relationship with me in A City?”
Connor frowned. “Miss Stepanek, you don‘t know the details. Don‘t misunderstand Mr. Wharton. You‘re the only person in his heart. He has his own difficulties!”
Connor explained in an extremely anxious manner, but I didn‘t believe his words at all. “Connor, don‘t speak up for him anymore. As for what exactly happened, I am quite clear in my heart.”
Connor grew even more frantic. “Miss Stepanek, there are many things you don‘t know about. You have to endure for a bit longer. Mr. Wharton will give you a satisfactory explanation.” Connor was worried that he would be blamed by Herbert, so he wanted to persuade me. So I wouldn‘t take his words seriously.
“Well, I won‘t tell Herbert that you told me about him and that Eva Green. I won‘t pursue this matter, because I know it very well. Don‘t worry.” After that, I took Lucas‘s hand and left.
