Chapter 112

Herbert’s POV When I saw Bella holding a Lucas, I felt a lot of warmth.

The conflict between Bella and I was very deep. It was almost to the point where we would quarrel whenever we met But I didn’t expect that the conflict between us seemed to be eased because of Lucas.

He liked Bella very much, and Bella seemed to like him very much. She even offered to stay and take care of him.

That was good. At least it could be a turning point between Bella and I. Before five o’clock in the afternoon, I finished my work and got in the car to go home. I came back from a business trip for a week.

There were a lot of things in the company. I dealt with the most urgent documents and things as soon as possible. Because I was eager to see Lucas and Bella. Ring, ring. In the car, the phone rang several times. I knew who called, but I didn’t want to pick it up at all. But the ringing of the phone was really annoying. In the end, I chose to pick up the phone. “Herbert, why haven’t you answered my call for so long? Why didn’t you tell me that you’re back?” Caroline’s voice was coming from the other end of the phone. I frowned and replied, “I just came back. There are a lot of things to deal with in the company, so I don’t have the time to answer your call.” I didn’t think there was any need for Caroline to know about the existence of Lucas. After all, she was just an ordinary friend of mine. I didn’t need to explain everything to her.

“Your work is indeed important, but you should also pay attention to your health. Come and have dinner with me at night? Miranda’s cooking skills are very good. I’ve learned two French dishes recently.”

Caroline invited me warmly.

“Some other day. I have some social activities tonight.” I answered coldly.

“Herbert…” Caroline seemed to want to say something.

I interrupted her and said, “I have something else to do. I’m hanging up.”

After that, I hung up the phone.

I looked at the scenery outside the window and said impatiently, “Drive faster!” Connor replied, “Mr.

Wharton, today is Friday, and now is the peak hour. There are too many cars, and there’s no way we can speed up.” I couldn’t help but frown. At this moment, I had an impulse to fly to the villa in the suburbs immediately. Was I just missing Lucas? I think I wanted to see Bella who was taking care of Lucas?”

Yes, I wanted to see Bella and I wanted to be with her.

Half an hour later, the car finally arrived at its destination. Connor opened the back door. I got out of the car and went straight into the villa.

Walking into the living room, I saw Gaynor sitting on the sofa playing with Lucas. “Mr. Wharton, you’re back?” Seeing me, Gaynor immediately rose to her feet and greeted me. I looked around and saw no familiar figure. I immediately replied, “I heard that you’re sick?” Gaynor immediately said guiltily, “Mr.

Wharton, a few days ago, I caught a severe cold. I was afraid that it would infect Lucas. I’m fine now, so I hurried back this afternoon. Oh, thanks to Miss Stepanek, she took good care of Lucas. When I reached here, Lucas didn’t let her go. She only left when he was asleep.”

I frowned and felt disappointed. “Dad, Dad…” At this time, the baby on the sofa began to look up at me with a smile and shout.

Trestrained my bad mood, stepped forward, and bent down to pick him up.

I looked at my lovely son, and my bad mood was gradually eased.

Bella’s POV:

Two days had passed since I left Lucas.

During the lunch break, I invited Joey to have lunch in a Chinese restaurant near the company. When we were about to finish eating, Joey asked me, “Dear, what’s wrong with you today? You look very listless, and you look distracted when I was chatting with you.” “I don’t know what’s wrong with me. I can’t sleep well these two days.” I put down my tableware and said.

“Did you fall in love again?” Joey suddenly asked with her mouth wide open.

“No!” I replied with a contemptuous look.

“Then what happened to you?” Joey was extremely curious. I told Joey everything that had happened in the past few days. In the end, I said with melancholy, “These days, I closed my eyes and my mind is filled with Lucas. I don’t know what happened. What do you think I should do?”

Joey lowered her head and thought for a moment. Then she said, “What a coincidence! Your child was dead, so Herbert went to the orphanage to adopt one? It’s so strange.”

Joey’s words immediately reminded me, and I immediately said, “I also feel strange, but he made it sound too real. I don’t know if I should believe it.”

“You can go to the orphanage to investigate? You need to go through some formal procedures to adopt an orphan.” Joey said. “But I don’t know which orphanage Herbert adopted Lucas?” I asked. Joey lowered her head and thought for a moment. Then, she said, “Do you think that Gaynor, who is taking care of Lucas, knows about it?” “I heard that she has been taking care of Lucas this whole time. Maybe she knows. I will try to ask her. In fact, I miss Lucas very much. I feel like seeing that little baby.” I said.

“You’re finished, Bella. You used to be fascinated by Herbert, and now his son makes you even more obsessed with him. If they join hands, you have no where to hide.” Joey teased me.

“You only know how to make fun of me. I’d like to see who will make you obsessed with in the future.” I rolled my eyes.

77.17 “I guess they haven’t been born yet!” Joey laughed. About ten minutes later, Joey and I left the restaurant. Just a few steps later, I looked up and suddenly saw a familiar figure in front of me. Caroline also saw me. Our eyes met for a second. Then, I turned my head away. I didn’t like this person and didn’t want to talk to her. “What bad luck. I can meet a mistress when I come out for a meal!” Joey couldn’t help but deliberately say loudly. These words immediately triggered a conflict. Caroline rushed up and said sarcastically, “Whose dog is it that isn’t tied up? Why did it come out and bite people?” “Who are you calling a dog?” Joey immediately pointed angrily at Caroline. “I didn’t say it’s you, why did you think it’s you?” Caroline looked at Joey with provocative eyes? “What did you say?” Joey, who had a hot temper, couldn’t bear it and immediately rushed to beat her. I immediately puilled Joey. “Forget it. I don’t want to argue with this kind of bitch.” Caroline shouted, “You two want to bully me, don’t you?” “So what if I bully you?” Joey stepped forward and gave her a push. “How dare you hit me?” Caroline didn’t want to show any sign of weakness and step forward to beat Joey. Fearing that Joey would suffer a loss and I didn’t want to get into trouble, I stepped forward to stand in front of Joey and said to Caroline, “It’s me who caused this. If there’s anything, just come at me.

Don’t implicate irrelevant people!” “Bella, I didn’t expect you to be so loyal. Well, I’ll get even with you.

You and Herbert are divorced. I warn you not to pester him again in the future, or I’ll teach you a lesson!”

Caroline glared at me fiercely. I was not angry at her accusation at all. Instead, I sneered and said, “I would like to ask you, what’s your relationship with Herbert now? Are you married? What identity do you have to warn me?” “I…” Caroline was silent for a moment, and then raised her chin and said, “I’m Herbert’s girlfriend. I can also warn you with this.” wah “Then you’d better go back and take good care of your boyfriend. Don’t let him come out and provoke women everywhere. Just like you have a dog. You can’t control your dog to bite people, but let others take care of it?” I retorted loudly.
