Chapter 359

Bella’s POV:

“Ryan has moved to Hank’s house and is now living with Betty,” Mother said.

Hearing this, I was stunned. Then I looked at my mother and asked in surprise, “How could Ryan live in Betty and Hank’s house?”

“I drove him out, and he had nowhere to go. So he went to ask Betty for help, and Betty took him in. Ah, if I had known this would happen, I would have put up with it and let him live here. Now, with him in the middle, Betty and Hank would have a harder time.” My mother sighed with regret.

Of course, I knew what Ryan was capable of. Betty was now thinking in an extreme way. With Ryan’s encouragement, Betty’s relationship with Hank would become worse and worse.

But things had become like this. Mom and I couldn’t do anything about it.

“Mom, their lives are their own. If you’re really worried, you can find some time to visit Betty and Anne.”

“That’s the only thing I can do.” My mother sighed.

After dinner was ready, mom and I sat together for dinner. That night, I felt like I was back to many years ago when I was chatting with mom.

It was not until almost ten o’clock in the evening that I left under the urging of my mother.

Fortunately, I caught up with the last bus. I got off the bus and felt that I was in a good mood today.

The moon hung high in the sky, and the early autumn night wind was a little cold. I walked into the apartment building and was about to take out the key from my bag. Unexpectedly, my arm was suddenly grabbed by a big hand behind me!

I was shocked and my hands and feet went limp. My first reaction was that there was a bad guy who wanted to rob my money or my body.

“Where did you go? Why did you come back so late? Do you know that I have been looking for you?” As soon as I looked back, I saw an anxious face.

Under the dim light, his dark eyes were full of concern and reproach. His face was ugly. but at this moment, he was very cute. “… went to my mother’s house,” I answered innocently. “I called you a hundred and eight times, but you didn’t answer!” Herbert complained with his mobile phone in his hand.

Hearing this, I quickly took out my mobile phone from my bag. When I looked at it, I couldn’t help but frown, and my expression was like that of an innocent little white rabbit. “My phone is out of power!” In my mother’s house, I only focused on cooking, eating, and chatting with my mother. I didn’t look at my mobile phone at all. I didn’t know when it ran out of battery. However, when I saw how nervous Herbert was, I knew that my phone must have run out of battery when I got off work, because I remembered that when I called Gary before I got off work, my phone showed a low battery. “You’re an adult. How can you let your phone run out of battery? Don’t you know how to charge in advance when your phone is short of battery? What if you can’t be found in an emergency? Or how can you contact the outside world in an emergency?” Herbert scolded me.

I knew he was right, but he was too strict with me, which made me unhappy.

“Herbert, who are you to me? You shouted at me in front of my house. Besides, do I have the obligation to pick up your phone? You are neither my relative nor my boss. Why should I let you criticize me?” After that, I pushed him away and was about to open the door with the key.

At this moment, Herbert suddenly grabbed my shoulder and pushed me against the wall. He lowered his head and said in an overbearing manner, “Let me tell you, you are my woman. You must obey whatever I say, understand?”

This man was simply too overbearing. I was so angry that I wanted to push him away, but compared with his strength, I appeared way too weak.

“Who is your woman? You…” Before I could finish my words, he kissed me forcibly. My mouth was sealed, and I couldn’t say a word.

I only got a more passionate kiss in return for my struggle. He held my hand tightly in his arms and did not allow me to have any objections. In desperation, I bit his tongue with my teeth. A smell of blood came from my mouth, but he still did not stop. In the end, I had to let go. At this moment, I was extremely scared because he looked so terrible, as if he wanted to eat me. It was a pair of irritated wolf eyes.

The kiss lasted for a few minutes. He let go of me with a smile on his face.

I touched my lips and found that there were bloodstains there. I frowned and asked, “Don’t you feel pain?”

“Your kiss has cured the pain!” Herbert laughed.

“You’re a lunatic.” I cursed him. “There’s nothing you can do. You can only follow me, a lunatic, for the rest of your life.” Herbert moved his tongue and touched his lips with his fingers.
