Chapter 144

Bella’s POV:

That afternoon, I went to visit Lucas. He knew how to walk. When he saw me, he was very happy. He gave me a big apple. I didn’t know if he still remembered me. I heard that the baby’s memory would not last long But Lucas was still very friendly to me. I spent the whole afternoon playing with Lucas. It was not until evening that I was ready to leave. But Lucas was holding on to my clothes with his chubby little hands. He didn’t want me to leave.

“Don’t… don’t… go!”

Although I was reluctant to leave Lucas, I had no reason to stay and take care of him. I could only try my best to comfort him.

Thugged him, kissed his cheeks, and promised to visit him often in the future.

Lucas seemed to understand what I said and didn’t continue to make noise.

He returned to Gary’s arms. Then, I walked to the door.

Walking out of the villa, I looked through the black hollow iron door and saw that Gary was holding Lucas.

I was a little sad.

In order to restrain my emotions, I immediately turned around and prepared to take a taxi to leave. At this time, a black car drove toward me, and the setting sun covered it with a layer of golden light. That car belonged to Herbert.

My heart beat faster.

Then, the car stopped in front of me. When the door opened, a man in a black windbreaker walked quickly to me. “I know that you’ll come to see Lucas today.” Herbert looked at me and said excitedly.

“Why do you know I’m coming today?” I asked him. I didn’t expect to run into him. To be honest, I was very surprised. Herbert reached out to hold my shoulder, gently pinched my nose, and said gently, “Today is Friday. You know that every Friday afternoon, the Wharton Group will hold a management meeting, so you definitely won’t meet me during this time, right?” I didn’t answer. I just lowered my head with a smile. He had already seen through my thoughts. Indeed, it was because the Wharton Group was going to hold a formal meeting this afternoon, and Herbert definitely wouldn’t show up. That was why I chose to come and see Lucas today.

14:09D already dealt with the relationship between you and Caroline?” I looked at Herbert. “We’ve been complying with our agreement, but we met by chance today, right?” Herbert asked with a smile.

“No. You did it on purpose.” I said seriously.

The next moment, he hugged me and stroked my hair with his warm hands. “I miss you so much. I can only go against the rules and come here to try my luck to meet you. I’m lucky!” “Is today’s meeting over?”

Although he violated our agreement, I did not blame him. Because I missed him very much and wanted to see him.

Herbert said with a smile, “The previous meeting began at three o’clock in the afternoon. I scheduled the meeting to two o‘clock today, so it ended at five o’clock. If I had come another minute later, I wouldn’t have been able to see you. Fortunately, I arrived one minute earlier.”

I grabbed his collar and teased him with a smile. “Should I be leaving now?”

“Can you stay with me for another two minutes?” Herbert pleaded.

I didn’t intend to leave immediately, so I agreed directly. “Okay, I’ll leave in two minutes.”

After a while, Herbert suddenly said, “Caroline has been discharged from the hospital. I have booked a plane ticket for her to England in three days. I will quickly deal with everything and then return to your side!”

I was moved by his words.

In fact, Herbert was a responsible man. There were too many misunderstandings between us in the past.

The fact that he had taken good care of Caroline also showed that he was a responsible, kind man.

I hugged him tightly. His chest was like a heavy mountain worthy of my support.

A sense of happiness and a sense of security that I have never had before enveloped me, making me feel very satisfied.

As we hugged, time seemed to have come to a standstill. I closed my eyes, silently feeling his strong arms, listening to his strong heartbeat, until the sun completely fell at the foot of the mountain, and the night completely came. This place was remote, and almost no one had passed by, so no one disturbed us. Because I couldn’t find a taxi, I could only be sent home by Herbert. Connor sat in the driver’s seat, focused on driving, while I sat in the back seat with Herbert. I leaned in his arms, my heart filled with happiness, “It’s all your plan, isn’t it? I wouldn’t be able to find a taxi if you delay until night, so I can only ask you to take me home.” I complained with a smile.

Herbert laughed smugly. “This is Lucas’s ability to keep you here until it’s almost dark.” My heart softened even more when he mentioned Lucas. “Lucas has changed a lot. He can not only walk, but also hold me in his arms. He won’t let me go. He will also say some words. He said don’t…

go.”

“I’m very happy that you’re so fond of Lucas. Next time, I’ll teach him how to call you mother.” Herbert held my waist and smiled.

I was stunned for a moment. Then I asked, “Who is Lucas’s mother?”

In fact, in my heart, I really had an impulse to be Lucas’s mother.

I was still imagining the scene of how Lucas called me mother in my mind. If the child really recognized me as his mother, I would definitely raise him up in the future.
