Chapter 40

Bella’s POV I couldn’t help but go over to listen to the content of their conversation “What’s going on?

Tell me quickly!” The female colleagues were all in high spirits.

Female colleague B then said, “I went to look for Allie just now and saw that Emma had come again. She forced to ask to see Mr. Wharton again, but Allie refused to let her in. She even said that he didn’t have time to see Emma!”

“This is also known as the news? I knew long ago that it was impossible to have a long-term relationship between Emma and Mr. Wharton! It’s impossible for him to like that kind of woman.” Female colleague A curled her lips.

I felt strange when I heard their words. “Hasn’t the relationship between Herbert and Emma Briden been very ambiguous recently?” She even said yesterday that she would be the president’s wife! Why did she suddenly disappear? Did he have a new lover? Thinking of this, I felt a little depressed.

Female colleague B continued to laugh. “That Emma, holding this magazine in her hand, cried as she came to ask Allie whether or not Mr. Wharton was really married, and who was his wife. Do you think it’s laughable? I heard that her personal life is in a mess. She even dreamed of becoming Mr. Herbert’s wife!”

Hearing this, I felt very happy in my heart. I could probably imagine the depressed face of Emma “It’s OK if she wants to marry someone else. How dare she also want to marry Herbert? As long as he is not stupid, he will never marry her.” thought Bella. Of course, my father abandoned my mother and sister and married Emma’s mother. His brain must have been broken, but after so many years, my father seemed to be very proud.

Finally, it was time to get off work. Joey and I went out of the office together.

Joey teased me. Was our Boss trying to get rid of that Emma as soon as possible, and so he accepted the exclusive interview of the magazine and admit that he’s married?” I stared at her in shock. I really didn’t think of this possibility As long as Emma had been using Uncle John, Herbert would not refuse her directly.

The Wharton family had always been extremely grateful.

It was said that Uncle John had a very good relationship with Herbert’s father. In an accident, Uncle John had saved his father’s life, so he didn’t refuse Uncle John’s request.

Who knows? It’s his own business, and it has nothing to do with me.” I no longer had any expectations for Herbert I would not be disappointed if I did not have any expectations.

“Hey, that’s your husband!” Joey reminded me.

smiled bitterly ‘In my heart, he is just my child’s father.”

“In fact, I feel that Boss is very special to you. You are a legal couple now. You can work hard. What if you become a real couple from a fake couple? Besides, you have a child. Even if you don’t succeed. you won’t suffer any losses!” Joey advised me. I couldn’t help rolling my eyes at her. ‘I lost my most precious self-esteem!” “How much is self-esteem worth?” Joey was a little disdainful.

I didn’t agree with Joey either.

Yes, self-esteem is worthless now, but I still protect my poor self-esteem in front of Herbert. I don’t know why, but I truly don’t want to lower my head in front of him and be looked down upon by him.

I walked into the house after work. As I changed my shoes, I called out to my mom out of habit. “Mom, I’m back!”

My mother, who was wearing an apron and holding a shovel in her hand, immediately poked her head out of the kitchen. “Are you hungry? The meal will be ready soon.”

I washed my hands and was about to eat when my mother suddenly said, “Bella, your cousin is married this Saturday. Let’s go together.”

Hearing that, I frowned.

Although I have a good relationship with my uncle and cousin, I don’t want to attend the wedding when I think of my father’s family.

By then, there might be another conflict. Not to mention that I’m angry, I may also destroy other people’s wedding.

Her mother tried to persuade her, ‘Aunt Carter personally sent an invitation, we have to go.”

I glanced at my mother. I knew that although she didn’t say anything, she still couldn’t let go of my father, Ryan, after so many years.

In fact, my mother really wanted to see Ryan, although I strongly disagreed. But after all, my mother’s life is not mine. I can’t make a decision for her. As her daughter, I could only respect her and protect her when she needed me Therefore, I nodded and agreed. “Okay.”

Mother is very happy…

Soon, it was Saturday. I accompanied my mother to attend my cousin’s wedding.

The groom was wearing a black tuxedo and looked very solemn. The bride was wearing a snow white wedding dress with exquisite makeup.

Mother tugged at me and whispered, “Your cousin’s wedding is going well. In the future, you and Herbert will also have a wedding.”

Hearing this, I didn’t know how to respond.

The marriage between me and Herbert should be over after I gave birth to my child. There’s no need to hold a wedding before we get divorced. Of course, I couldn’t say these words to my mother. I could only nod and say, “Cousin and his wife’s salary are very high. We can’t compare “There is only once in your life. There should be a wedding, mother said in a low voice. Alter greeting Uncle John and Aunt Carter, we walked into the banquet hall. I ran into my father as soon as I entered I didn’t want to see him, so I turned my head away “You’re here, Ryan?” Mother asked with a smile.

Ryan said with disgust, “Bella, look at how haggard you are now. Why don’t you stay at home? Are you trying to embarrass yourself here?”
