Chapter 326

Bella’s POV: “Dad, I don’t like that pretty woman. Don’t go on a date with her,” said Lucas with a frown.

Herbert looked at me and then said with a smile, “I won’t date her.”

When I saw his eyes, my heart beat faster again.

Was he explaining to me? “Dad, why do you keep touching your nose today?” Lucas asked with a frown.

“Did 1?” Herbert raised his eyebrows.

Lucas smiled and said, “When you’re not confident, you would touch your nose. It seems that every time you see mommy, you would touch your nose! Are you shy?”

As soon as these words came out, my hand, which was holding the bowl, froze.

Herbert, on the other hand, was stunned. Both of us raised our heads at the same time and met each other’s eyes.

My eyes were stung by his burning eyes, and then I quickly lowered my head. I was trying to open the lid of the thermos flask, but my brain was blank, and I suddenly felt a little helpless.

Then, Herbert pulled his lips, looked at Lucas and Lucky in front of him, and said, “I didn’t expect that the person who knows me best is my son!”

I turned a deaf ear to his words. I brought a bowl of warm cream mushroom soup to Herbert and said softly, “Try the taste.”

Herbert said with a smile, “Thank you.”

Then, he took two mouthfuls and nodded. “Well, it tastes really good.” Before I could answer, Lucas spoke first, “Mommy specially prepared it for you. Lucky cried when she couldn’t find mommy as soon as she woke up. I’m a man, so I didn’t cry!”

After Lucas finished speaking, he looked very proud. “You don’t have to get up so early. I don’t want you to work too hard,” said Herbert. “I usually get up very early.” I responded and looked elsewhere. After sitting for a while, Herbert and I seemed to have nothing to say, but these two little kids were very active.

Then, I got up and said, “It’s getting late. I’ll take them back. I’ll take them to see you again tomorrow.”

It seemed like Herbert couldn’t bear to part with them, but he still nodded. “Alright, it’s too hard for you to take care of the two of them alone. I’ll have Connor bring them back and let Gary take care of them later.”

“Tomorrow is Sunday. I still have time. Let Connor pick them up on Monday morning.” I thought for a moment “Okay.” Herbert nodded, and then suddenly said, “If you are unhappy with the current company, I can introduce you to another job, and the benefits will be very good.”

08 27 Why did he say that? Was he afraid that Linda would make trouble for me?

Then I asked, “Is it because Linda is my superior? If so, I don’t think it’s a big deal. Linda has some misunderstandings about our relationship. If she understands our current situation, I don’t think she will mind.”
