Chapter 58

Bella’s POV Time passed very quickly. Soon, I was three months pregnant. There was almost no strong pregnancy reaction. I ate a lot during the meal as I was easily hungry. As a result, I became heavier and looked plumper. That night, Miranda put down her phone walked to me, and said, “Mrs. Wharton, Mr.

Wharton said that he has something to deal with tonight and won’t be back for dinner.” I couldn’t help frowning. In the past half month, he was very busy. He hardly came back for dinner at night, and it was almost early in the morning when he came back everyday. I vaguely felt that something was wrong, but I couldn’t tell what exactly was wrong.

I didn’t eat much for dinner. I didn’t even finish a piece of steak.

In the bedroom, I watched a TV series while sitting in bed all night. It was almost midnight when he finally came back.

He asked, “It’s so late, why aren’t you sleeping yet?” His tone was a little strange. After all, I usually fell asleep at this time.

There was only the wall lamp and the faint light of TV in the bedroom. I saw that he seemed a little drunk, his hair was a uttle messy, and the collar of his shirt was slightly open. I was afraid that he had drank, so I got out of bed and poured him a glass of water. “I can’t sleep, so I watched a TV series.” Herbert took the cup, but he did not drink it. Instead, he turned around and put it on the cabinet We didn’t continue to talk and fell into silence.

I felt that he seemed to be deliberately distancing himself from me.

But I couldn’t find any reason for him to distance himself from me. We didn’t have any conflict. This period of time was very harmonious.

Was it because I was too sensitive?

I restrained my emotions and said with a smile, “Have you been busy with your work recently?”

“A little.” Herbert answered as he took off his clothes. I took the clothes from him and hung them in my wardrobe. “Why are you back so late recently?” || asked again. “Oh, there’s a classmate who came back from abroad, so there have been a few reunion parties recently Herbert replied.

I didn’t continue to talk with him because I didn’t know his classmates and friends at all.

“I’m going to take a shower.” Herbert took his pajamas and went to the bathroom.

Looking at the door of the bathroom, I felt a little lonely. I wanted to laugh at myself. After returning from his parents’ home, I thought we were very close and we got along well.

in fact, we were still very far away I didn’t know anything about his past, and he has never introduced me to his friends and classmates Did I really think I was his wife?

I told myself that I married him because of the baby in my belly At this moment, I felt a little cold all over i laid down on the bed and got into the warm quilt I turned off the TV, and the wall lamp in the room looked very dim Hall an hour later, I heard the subtle footsteps of Herbert approaching the bed He got on the bed and turned off the wall lamp It was dark in the room Although we were using the same quilt, but we didn’t have any physical contact I suddenly remembered that I had never touched his body in the past few days This discovery made me suck in a breath of cold air Because it was very abnormal, we used to hug each other and sleep together “I’m going on a business trip tomorrow.” He suddenly said He knew that I was not asleep, so there was no need for me to continue pretending I then asked. “Where are you going?

“Europe.” Herbert replied I was stunned. Did the company have a business in Europe as well? I had worked in the Wharton Group for a few years, but I had never heard of it. Could it be that this business trip was because of his personal affairs?

I knew that he didn’t want to talk about it in detail, so I didn’t ask more and just asked, “How long will it take?

“A week.” Herbert thought for a moment and answered “Then I’ll pack your luggage.” I got up as I spoke “No need!” Herbert immediately stopped me.

I turned my head and looked at Herbert in the dark as i frowned Til just bring a few simple clothes with me. I’ll ask Miranda to pack them up for me tomorrow. It’s very late. You can rest.” said Herbert It was already one o’clock in the morning, and packing would indeed affect our sleep, so I did not continue to refute Then there was no sound from the person behind me A few minutes later, his regular breathing could be heard I knew he was asleep, but I couldn’t fall asleep at all When it was a sunrise, I fell asleep in a daze When I opened my eyes again, the dazzling sunlight was shining on me I blinked my eyes Later, I glanced at the clock on the wall, and it was already 10 o‘clock!

I turned my head and saw that Herbert had already gotten up I put on a night robe and went straight downstairs There was no sign of Herbert on the first floor I walked to the kitchen door and saw that Miranda was cooking soup “Miranda, has he left?”

Miranda turned around and said in surprise, “Mr. Wharton left at eight o’clock. His flight is at 9:30 am Now it’s half an hour since the plane took off! My heart was filled with disappointment. “Why did I wake up so late?”

Miranda hurriedly said, ‘Mrs. Wharton, don’t worry. I‘ve already put all of the clothes that Mr. Connor needed to bring into the luggage. He still didn’t allow me to pack too much. He said that he can buy everything over there and that even if Connor comes along, he will definitely take good care of him.” I didn’t retort but continued, “You’re right.” In the evening, I roughly calculated the time. At this time, Herbert should have gotten off the plane, so I sent him a message. “Have you arrived?” “I have landed safely.

This was a WeChat message from Herbert. There was no emotion in it, and there was no subjective word. I was very disappointed, so I did not reply. For three days in a row, he didn’t take the initiative to contact me again. Although I was curious about his situation over there, I knew that he was definitely safe, so I endured it and didn’t contact him. On the morning of the fourth day, I received a strange call.

“Excuse me, is it Bella?” The person on the other end of the phone was a woman with a sweet voice.

“Yes, who are you?” I thought it was an advertisement call, so my tone was more casual. However, she threw a bomb at me. “Miss Stepanek, my name is Caroline Ewell, and I’m Herbert’s ex girlfriend.”
