Chapter 421

Bella‘s POV: Herbert stroked my shoulder and said, “Can this prove that I‘m not lying?” I looked at him and asked, “Why didn‘t you tell me that something happened to your father? Why did you hide it from me?”

Although there was no ambiguous relationship between him and Eva Green, I was still very sad.

Because every time he was in trouble, he would not tell me. He always kept it from me.

Hearing these words, Herbert frowned. His fingers slid across my hair, and he replied, “What happened to my father this time was too troublesome. The other party wanted to destroy our family. If my father couldn‘t clear his name this time, my mother and I would als time, my mother and I would also be implicated, so I didn‘t immediately go through the wedding formalities with you. This way, I can protect you and the children. No matter what happens to the Wharton Family, it won‘t implicate you and our two children.”

I could see his love for me from his eyes, but I didn‘t agree with what he said.

“So you didn‘t mention the wedding because you were afraid of getting me into trouble?” I continued to ask.

Herbert held my hand and apologized to me. “It‘s all my fault. I‘m sorry!”

At this time, I was a little excited. I pushed his hand away, turned my back, and said, “Herbert, you act like this every time. You say that you don’t want to get me into trouble, but two people who love each other must stand together at any time. We should enjoy happy things together and face difficulties together. This is the real love.”

“You said that it‘s for my good. Have you asked for my permission? Every time when you‘re in trouble, you would ignore me. You don‘t treat me as the most important person in your life!” Hearing this, Herbert immediately held my shoulder so that I could face him. He explained eagerly. “It‘s because you are the most important person in my life that I can‘t bear to let you suffer with me. You can doubt anything, but you can‘t doubt my love for you!”

Herbert‘s eyes were staring at me. His eyes were dark and deep. At this moment, he was a little anxious.

It could be seen that there was only me in his eyes.

This had something to do with our personalities.

I had a problem too. I was not confident enough, nor did I trust him.

At this time, I looked out of the window and said, “Betty and Hank are divorced because Hank has a new lover outside.”

“Betty and Hank are different from us. Maybe you‘ve been thinking too much recently. Even if all the men in the world cheat on their partners, I won‘t, because I can‘t fall in love with anyone else anymore.”

Herbert comforted me.

I went on to say, “Actually, I‘m very envious of Hank and Elsamara.”

“Elsarnara is like me in the past. She is bold and she believes in love. Betty beat and scolded her in public, but she didn‘t take it seriously at all. When Betty kept making trouble, she and Hank hugged each other tightly because she wanted to face it with Hank. They are like comrades.”

10081 Herbert looked at me, and there were many doubts on his face. “Bella, I don‘t understand what exactly you want to say.”

I did not respond to him but continued to say, “Although Hank and Elsamara are not glorious, they can face problems together no matter what happens. It‘s really touching that they can encourage each other.”

At this time, Herbert held my shoulder and nodded. “I understand. I won‘t hide anything from you in the future. Let‘s face everything together and encourage each other, okay?”

“No!”

Herbert was stunned.

I complained, “You didn‘t let me know about Lucas‘s illness last time. Do you know how guilty I am when I face Lucas now? This time, something has happened to your father and you still chose not to let me know.”

“You‘re blocking me out of the door and leaving me behind when you‘re in trouble. You‘re just treating me as an accessory and don‘t treat me as your partner. Your other half? Or perhaps, you don‘t trust me at all?” “I already know I was wrong. Why don‘t you punish me? I‘m at your disposal.” Herbert grabbed my hand.

This time, I did not go soft on him and glanced at him with tears in my eyes. Then, I withdrew my hand and said, “I don‘t have time to punish you. I‘ll go first.” After that, I took my bag, turned around, and left.

“Bella!” Herbert wanted to stop me. However, I had already opened the door of the office. There was not only the secretary standing outside, but also several men and women with documents in their hands. It seemed that they were here to report to Herbert. At this time, I turned my head and said, “John is innocent. Stop all your actions immediately.” After that, I turned and walked away quickly. When I walked into the elevator, I saw that he was about to come over. I quickly pressed the close button. In fact, I was not very angry anymore. But he was like this every time. He didn‘t tell me or discuss anything with me.

This time, I wouldn‘t forgive him easily, unless he really realized the seriousness of the problem.

Ding! The elevator reached the first floor, and I stepped out of the elevator. Just as I stepped out of the lobby of the building and walked down the stairs, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind me.

“Bella!”
