Bellaâs POV:
âGary, where is Lucky?â My eyes were looking for my child in the room. âShe just fell asleep.â Gary opened the bedroom door for me. I didnât have time to say anything else. I nodded to Gary, then turned and went into the bedroom. At this moment, Lucky was sleeping on a small bed. Her fat body was covered with a thin pink quilt with a cartoon pattern. Her face was chubby, and her eyelashes were very long. She looked like a delicate doll Seeing such a lovely sleeping posture, I felt at ease again. I had experienced how difficult it was to be a mother. Especially when I heard the child crying and looking for me, I would be very sad. I reached out to touch Luckyâs face, which was as red as an apple, and my eyebrows stretched out. At this moment, Herbert gently walked to me, and his eyes were also looking at Lucky on the small bed.
I felt that I was suddenly enveloped by a whiff of breath. Looking back, I saw that he was already very close to me. It could be said that the distance between me and him was not even half a foot.
At this moment, my heart was obviously in a panic. I tidied my hair around my ear and saw Gary coming in, so I tried to find a topic to talk to him with a smile. âGary, I havenât seen Lucky in the past two days. Did she make a fuss?â
âOh.â Gary was about to answer. Gary didnât answer. His eyes were fixed on Herbert behind me. I looked back and saw that Herbert was also looking at Gary, which made me frown. After that, I realized that it was possible that Herbert was lying to me because Lucky had a good relationship with Gary. Sometimes, when I was busy with work, Gary would take care of her for a few days, and she would not make a fuss.
So, I felt that I had been fooled.
At this time, Herbert said directly, âI mean to tell her the truth!â
Hearing this, Gary immediately said, âMiss Stepanek, Lucky has been looking for you for the past two days. Although she didnât cry and make a scene, she has always been unhappy. Fortunately, Lucas knew how to coax her. Heâs really a good brother!â
Hearing this, I felt that this was the real situation.
Therefore, I smiled at Gary and said, âGary, thank you for taking care of my two children with all your heart.â
âThis is my job. Besides, Iâve been taking care of Lucas and Lucky for so long, and I really like them,â
Gary said.
âLuckyâs asleep. Letâs not disturb her. Iâll take you to the room upstairs.â I said, âI think itâs better for me to stay with Lucky downstairs.â Hearing this, Herbert suddenly laughed and said, âWho said I wouldnât let you stay with Lucky? Who do you think you have to sleep with? Youâ¦â He was teasing me In fact, I meant that I didnât want to stay upstairs. I wanted to live downstairs. After all, I knew that both Herbertâs bedroom and study were upstairs.
The main reason why I had such concerns was that he forced me to do something before.
I was a little scared of him.
Herbert pointed to the three rooms upstairs and said, âThis is my bedroom. This is my study. Thatâs a guest room. You can live there!â
The guest room was the innermost one, and there was a study in the middle of his bedroom. Only then did I feel a little relieved.
âIâll take you to have a look. The bedding and supplies on the bed are all brand new. No one has ever lived there,â Herbert explained.
Seeing that he was going to take me there in person. I immediately waved my hand and said, âNo need.
Iâll go by myself. You can do your own business.â
After that, I turned around and went straight to the innermost bedroom. I pushed the door open, walked in, and then closed the door behind me Leaning against the door, I took a deep breath.
I moved here all of a sudden. I had to call Joey as soon as possible and ask her to bring my clothes and daily necessities here.
I took out my phone from my bag and saw that it was out of power. I didnât bring a charger at the moment, and I didnât find it in this room. In the end, I had no choice but to go to the next room and borrow one from Herbert to solve the problem.
I knocked on the door.
Herbert replied, âCome in.â
As soon as I walked in, I saw a naked man in front of me.
I saw the strong muscles of Herbertâs upper body, and he didnât wear pants, only leopard-print underwearâ¦
