Chapter 383

Bella‘s POV:

In the next few days, I wanted to talk about our marriage with Herbert several times.

All of my colleagues now believed that I was in a relationship with Connor. I denied it but those people didn‘t believe me, so I didn‘t explain it anymore. If such a misunderstanding lasted too long, it would be very bad. And most importantly, I wanted to restore my marriage with Herbert. I wanted to be Herbert‘s legal wife. I knew that he loved me and the children. But every time I mentioned the remarriage, he would change the topic before I could finish my words.

In the evening, Herbert came back in a hurry.

“You‘re back? Dinner will be ready soon.” I, who was sitting in the living room playing with the children, said to Herbert with a smile.

Herbert put down the briefcase in his hand walked over, and touched Lucas and Lucky‘s heads. Then he said eagerly, “I have something to do in New York. Please help me pack some clothes.”

Hearing this, I couldn‘t help but frown and ask, “It‘s getting dark. It‘s not safe for you to travel on the road for a few hours. Why don‘t you leave early tomorrow morning?”

“No, I‘m in a hurry to go back.” Herbert insisted. “Why are you in such a hurry? Did something happen?” I looked at his face carefully and felt that something big had happened. However, Herbert denied it. “It‘s nothing serious. My mother came back from her vacation in Canada. She‘s not feeling well, and we haven‘t seen each other for a long time. I‘ll go and see her.”

Hearing this, I nodded and didn‘t say anything more. Lwent upstairs to pack his clothes. I put a few new clothes and daily necessities into the suitcase and closed it. I couldn‘t help but think about it. Logically speaking, after Mckennareturned from Canada, if Herbert wanted to go back to visit her, . he should have brought me and our children with him. After all, it had been a long time since Mckenna had seen Lucas.

She had never seen Lucky before, and I was the mother of the children, Herbert‘s future wife. According to etiquette, he should have let us meet with McKenna. But he didn‘t do that. The only probability was that McKenna still couldn‘t accept me, and she didn‘t like the children I gave birth to. I didn‘t care what she thought. She didn‘t like me, and I didn‘t like her either.

After that, I went downstairs with the suitcase.

Herbert put Lucky down and reached out to take it from me. “When will you come back?” I asked.

Herbert thought for a moment, then said, “Perhaps it will take a week.”

“That long?” I was a little reluctant to part with Herbert.

Seeing this, Herbert reached out and patted me on the cheek. In a soft voice, he said, “Connor will stay behind to help me deal with my daily affairs. Call him if you need anything.” “You aren‘t bringing Connor with you?” Hearing these words, I was a bit surprised. Wherever he went, Herbert would bring Connor with him. Why didn‘t he bring him along this time? “Because I‘ll be gone for a long time, and there are too many things in the company that need to be dealt with, so Connor won‘t go with me. Alright, I‘m leaving.

You take good care of the children and yourself!” After saying this, Herbert glanced at me and the children, then turned around and left with his suitcase.

In the blink of an eye, it had been a week since he left. During that time, he only sent a few messages and made a phone call.

I was a little worried. I called him, but I heard people over there talking and laughing. He should be at a party. Herbert only said a few words and then hung up in a hurry. His tone was a little impatient.

Since then, I never called him again. I was afraid of disturbing him, but I also felt a little aggrieved.

That evening, I came back from work.

As soon as I walked to the door of the viđa, I saw Herbert‘s black Bentley parked at the door. Knowing that he was back, I felt a burst of joy in my heart. I walked quickly into the villa and saw that Gary was playing with Lucky Lucky saw me and spread out her two small hands as she shouted, “Mommy, mommy!”

I quickly took Lucky and asked, “Is Herbert back?” “It‘s been more than an hour since he came back.

He‘s talking to Connor upstairs. Miranda went to pick Lucas up,” Gary replied. I nodded, kissed Lucky‘s cheek, and said happily, “Mommy will take you to daddy, okay?” “Okay.” Lucky nodded and said okay.

After that, I carried her upstairs.

Knowing that he was back, I walked faster with Lucky in my arms. The anger in my heart disappeared completely a few days ago. Everything left now was the joy of Herbert being back home.

I walked to the study, carrying Lucky in my arms. The door of the study was half–closed, and the conversation between Herbert and Connor could be heard from outside.

“Let‘s make the arrangements as soon as possible. We can‘t make any mistakes.” This was Herbert‘s voice. “I‘ll immediately instruct my subordinates to do it.” Connor replied. Hearing that they were talking about work, I stood at the door and didn‘t go in, for fear of disturbing them. Afterward, Connor changed the topic. Suddenly, he said, “Mr. Wharton, how‘s the matter with Master going?”

Herbert was silent for a moment, and then he replied, “I’ve already settled everything. There shouldn‘t be much of a big deal.”

“Since that‘s the case, then can you and Miss Stepanek quickly get married again?” Connor asked.

Standing outside, I was clueless when I heard these words and couldn‘t help but think, “The master should be Herbert‘s father. Did something happen to him?” But when I heard that it was nothing serious, I was relieved. After that, I heard Connor ask what I wanted to ask for the past few days, I couldn‘t help but feel nervous, because I wanted to know what kind of attitude Herbert had toward the remarriage.

After a while, Herbert‘s voice came from the half–closed door. “I don‘t have any plans to remarry her for the time being.”

When I heard this sentence, I was stunned.
