Bellaâs POV:
âGet out!â Herbert shouted at Emma.
The next moment, Emma quickly stepped back. She didnât even dare to pick up the cup of coffee that had been overturned.
The door of the office was closed. I felt that this posture was a little ugly, so I said, âCan you let me go first?â
âNo!â Herbert, however, had a strong temper. He lowered his head and wanted to kiss me.
I pushed Herbertâs face, not letting him get close to me. I shouted nervously, âHerbert, donât mess around. This is your office!*
âIt doesnât matter where I kiss my woman.â âIâm your exâwife. I donât have much to do with you now!â I yelled as I struggled.
He leaned forward and pressed me against the hard desk. He leaned against my face and asked fiercely. âI can give you everything that the old man can give you and what he canât give you. Why do you have to get close to him? Do you lack a fatherâs love?â
Hearing this, my eyes got wet and I almost burst into tears.
Herbert had gone too far!
His words pierced into my heart like a steel knife.
At this time, Herbert let go of his hand. âWhatâs wrong with you?â
I pushed him away, got up from the desk, and wiped my tears with my hand. âI have no fatherâs love since I was a child. Itâs not like you donât know that. Why do you have to say that to me?â
I went on to say, âIâm not interested in John at all. Do you want to get rid of me by slandering me like this? Youâre trying to make me the one who says break up so that you wonât feel guilty, right?â
Bang!
As soon as I finished my words, Herbert directly threw a huge desk lamp on the desk to the ground.
The lamp was made of crystal glass. Although there was a carpet on the ground, it was still broken into pieces. Startled, I clutched my chest and looked at the beastâlike Herbert, my body trembling a little. âAre you delusional? Who told you that I wanted to break up with you?â I didnât expect him to have such a big reaction, but I didnât want to take back what I wanted to say, so I told him everything! wanted to say for many days.
âYou have a new lover now. Of course, you think Iâm crazy.â I snorted.
Herbert stared at me and asked, âWhat new lover? What are you talking about?
âEva Green, donât tell me you donât know her? Herbert, you make me feel that youâre very hypocritical,â I said, trying to get to the bottom of it.
Hearing the name âEva Greenâ, Herbert was stunned for a moment, and then his face became very ugly 70061 Seeing his expression, I knew that I was right. I sneered and said, âWhatâs wrong? You have nothing to say, donât you?â
âWho told you that?â Herbert asked.
I glanced at him and said, âIf youâre afraid of being exposed, donât do anything behind my back. Do you think Iâm a fool?â
Herbert frowned, and his face was gloomy.
Seeing this, I said, âIf you donât say anything, it means that you admit it. In that case, why do you bother me? I will move out with Lucky as soon as possible.â
As soon as I finished my last sentence, my heart ached inexplicably.
1 glanced at Herbert, then turned and left. My hand was grabbed by Herbert, and I heard him explain eagerly, âBella, itâs not what you think. Can you listen to my explanation?â
âThereâs nothing to explain. Donât worry, I wonât hate you. Youâre always the father of the two children. I wonât tell them. Let me go...â I was afraid that my tears would fall, so I spoke very fast.
After I struggled a few times, he still refused to let go of his arm. My emotions were a little out of rward and beat him a few times. With tears streaming down my face, I said, âWhat do you want? Let me tell you, if you want me to be your mistress, donât even dream about it. I wonât be a mistress!â
He suddenly stepped forward and held me tightly in his arms.
I leaned against his shoulder and cried loudly.
âBella, itâs really not what you think. Can you listen to my explanation?â Herbertâs tone was pleading.
I choked and said, âHerbert, it doesnât matter even if you and Eva Green are going to get married. I just hope you donât lie to me. It doesnât feel good to be deceived.â I looked up at the man in front of me, with a hint of pleading in my eyes.
Ring... Ring... At this time, the phone on his desk suddenly rang.
He reached out to take the phone, looked down at the flashing phone number on the phone, and then said to me gently, âIâll answer the phone first, and then Iâll explain it to you later.â
I wanted to listen to him.
If he didnât have an ambiguous relationship with that woman, he would have told me directly that they had nothing to do with each other.
But he didnât deny it.
âDoes he need to pick another time to make it clear to me?â
âSo they do have an ambiguous relationship?â
After I figured it out, my heart ached even more.
âDad, whatâs the matter?â
I heard Herbertâs voice on the phone.
Was it a call from Herbertâs father?
I turned around and walked to the floorâtoâceiling window. I looked down at the scenery in the distance blankly, and my mind was blank. âWhat? Are you sure itâs all right? Thatâs great. Well, you can retire early. You can do what you like to do. I will persuade mom. Yes, yes, good, thatâs it. Goodbye.â
Herbert said a string of words to the phone, and then hung up.
After hanging up the phone, he walked over to me with a smile and excitedly reached out to hold my shoulder I was very confused.
What exactly happened? Why was he so happy all of a sudden?
