Chapter 414
Bride of Mr.Billion
Bellaâs POV:
âLucas, focus and eat!â At this time, Herbertâs dignified voice suddenly came.
Hearing this, Lucas winked at me and then obediently lowered his head to eat.
I looked up at Herbert, only to find that he was still lowering his head and didnât look at me at all.
As I ate my breakfast, I kept trying to recall what happened last night.
I only remembered that I drank too much last night. It seemed that I came back in Mr. Hallâs car with Joey. I didnât know what had happened after that.
Usually, he would have lost his temper at me, but today, he didnât say a word. âDid he come back later than me last night? So he doesnât know what happened?â
âMom, Mom.â At this time, Lucky, who was sitting in Garyâs arms, suddenly opened her little hands to me.
Seeing this, I quickly reached out and wanted to pick her up. âLucky, you miss me, donât you? Come on, Iâll feed you.â
As soon as Gary was about to hand her over to me, I heard Herbertâs voice again.
âGary, hurry up and feed Lucky. Itâs a nice day. After breakfast, you can take her out for a walk!â
âOkay.â Hearing this, Gary naturally didnât dare to hand Lucky over to me. He quickly took her back and coaxed her to cat. Seeing this, I couldnât refute Herbert in front of so many people, so I had to endure it for the time being. However, when I looked at Luckyâs pitiful expression, I felt a little sad. Although Herbert usually played like crazy with the children, when his expression was serious, the two children didnât dare to disobey his orders. Soon, Lucas was full, and Miranda sent him to kindergarten. Gary had fed Lucky enough, so he pushed her out for a walk.
For a moment, only he and I were left at the dining table.
While eating breakfast, I thought to myself, âMaybe itâs time to tell him the truth. Iâm really depressed to stay here. Although I donât want to give up my children, I will go crazy if it goes on like this.â
I looked up and wanted to say something, but Herbert stood up first and said, âDonât drink so much wine in the future. You will set a very bad example for the children!â
After that, he turned around and walked around the dining table to the outside.
I was a little angry.
It was not because what he said was wrong. I really shouldnât have drunk so much wine.
But his tone of speaking to me was very overbearing.
âI drank a lot because I had social activities. It seems that you drink more often than me, donât you?â I stared at his back âI am a man, and you are a woman. Which woman did you see often go home drunk?â
Herbertâs words made me even angrier.
What was wrong with a woman?
âDonât you know that men and women are equal?â i retorted.
âIâm in a hurry,â said Herbert.
After that, he took a step and was about to leave.
âHave I always wanted to quarrel with you?â I suddenly stood up.
Herbert did not stop. In the blink of an eye, he had already walked out of the dining hall.
âHerbert, stop right there!â I shouted at him.
My shout made Herbert stop in his tracks.
I stepped in front of him and raised my head to look into his eyes.
I took a deep breath and said calmly, âIn fact, I never thought of quarreling with you.â
âL...â Herbert seemed to want to say something.
I interrupted him. âHerbert, letâs⦠break up.â
Although I was mentally prepared, when I really mentioned the words, my heart ached. This relationship once gave me countless hopes, but every time, it made my hope disappear. Happiness was like a blooming flower, gorgeous and shortâlived.
Herbert was first stunned, and then the expression on his face became a bit complicated. He then said seriously, âYouâre not sober yet. Iâll have Miranda bring you some sobering medicine later!â
After that, he stepped forward and left.
âHerbert, I am being serious!â I looked at his back and shouted.
With his back to me, Herbert didnât stay. Soon, he left the villa.
âHerbert...â No matter how hard I shouted behind him, he acted as if he didnât hear me at all. Since he refused to face me, I would wait for a few more days. Anyway, I was not in a hurry. I could stay with Lucas for a few more days.
That morning, when I was sitting at my desk, Joey pushed the door open and walked in.
âHow is it? Are you sober?â Joey sat in front of me.
âMy head still hurts a little.â I reached out and touched my head.
Seeing my haggard face, Joey said, âWhat happened last night? You drank so much that I couldnât even stop you. In the end, you were drunk. Fortunately, I was by your side. You canât drink like this with others when you go out alone in the future. You donât know if youâll be taken advantage of.â
Hearing this, I asked, âBy the way, did you send me back last night?â
âIf it wasnât me, who else would it be? It was Mr. Hall who drove us to your villa,â replied Joey.
Hearing this, I frowned and asked, âWas Herbert at home at that time? Did he see Mr. Hall?â
No wonder Herbert was in a bad mood this morning. It turned out that he was angry that I went to drink with Mr. Hall again.
I felt a little uneasy, but on second thought, I thought, âI didnât do anything bad. I just had a meal with a client. Whatâs the big deal?â
Joey replied, âIâm not that stupid to let himn see Mr. Hall, I put you down and then left immediately But I donât know if he saw Mr. Hallâs car or not.â
For a moment, my mood was complicated.
I didnât know when he would be able to stay calm and listen to me about the breakup.
âDoesnât he love Eva Green from the bottom of his heart? Or is he with Eva Green just for the family interests and the development of the company?â I felt very confused. At this time, Joey suddenly said, âIâm also annoyed by something.â
