Chapter 62

Bella‘s POV: My cell phone rang. It was a message from Herbert. The message said, “Where did you go today? Miranda said that you were not at home. I was very busy recently, so I didn‘t contact you. Are you all right?” Seeing so many questions, the corners of my mouth twitched and I replied, “I have an appointment with Joey in the afternoon. I‘m fine. Don‘t worry.” Originally, I put down the phone and didn‘t want to talk to him anymore. Unexpectedly, a few seconds later, my phone rang again. I picked up my phone again and saw that it was another message from Herbert. “Don‘t be too tired. Take care of yourself. I have something to tell you when I get back.” There was something he wanted to tell me? What was it? Did he want to tell me that he still loved Caroline? Did he want me to divorce him as soon as possible and give me a very generous offer, double the amount of money stated in our agreement back then?” At the thought of this possibility, I felt very distressed. I thought he wouldn‘t take the initiative to mention these things before the child was born. It looks like I underestimated his love for her. Although I had planned to give up this marriage first, it was different if he said it first. I would still feel very uncomfortable. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. I immediately typed a text message and sent it to him. “Okay. I happen to have something to say to you too.” Instead of waiting for him to speak first and embarrass myself, I might as well say it first so that I can retain some dignity for myself. “What‘s the matter?” Herbert immediately asked. “Let‘s talk about it when you come back.” I replied. “Okay.” Herbert even added a smiley face. This was the first time he had sent me an emoji. I stared at the smiley face for a long time before replied. “I‘m a little tired today. I‘ll take a rest first.” My meaning was very clear. I didn’t want to continue to talk to him. Later, my phone rang again, but I didn‘t look at it at all. I bent down and picked up the dazzling photo. I put it back in the collection of poems and put it back in place.

I haven‘t been to the study for the next few days... The next day, Betty suddenly called me. “Sister, I got the best student award for this semester.” There was excitement in her voice. Hearing her words, I said happily, “Betty, you‘re awesome!”

Scanned with CamScanner 7838 “There‘s still a 200 dollar scholarship,“Betty shouted at the top of her voice. “My sister is the best!” I was very happy. I didn‘t expect Betty to score so well. “Sis, I‘ve made up my mind. I want to change my major. I also want to study accounting.” Betty said. I thought for a moment and nodded. “Well, I know that you‘re not satisfied with your current major. You can‘t learn what you‘re not interested in. In fact, it‘s very advantageous for you to work in the accounting field in the future.” “By the way, isn‘t the professor mom introduced to you in the NF University? It‘s said that he‘s also in the accounting department. Can you help me ask if I could transfer to NF University to study this major? It‘s said that you have to find someone to do it. This major is very popular now. Maybe the professor can take care of me!” Betty said. This made me a little embarrassed. I thought for a moment and said, “I haven‘t contacted him for a long time.” Since the last time Herbert snatched my phone, told him that I had married him and deleted Hank‘s phone number from my phone, I had never seen Hank again, and Hank had never looked for me. I still blamed myself and didn‘t explain it to him. But later, when I thought that we were just ordinary friends, I felt that it was a little strange to explain it, so I dragged it on until now. Now Betty was going to apply for her major. It doesn‘t seem appropriate for me to go to him suddenly, so I was a little embarrassed. Betty said, “Sister, this matter is very important to me. It concerns my studies and future! Please help me!” For the sake of my sister‘s studies, I finally chose to agree. “Well, I‘ll go meet Hank tomorrow.” “What tomorrow? You have to go today. If I don‘t transfer to another major now, I won‘t have the chance in the future.” Betty said anxiously. “Okay, today.”

I hung up the phone. Although I was very depressed, because it was my sister‘s request, I still had to be strong. Then I changed my clothes and went straight to the university. I didn‘t have Hank‘s phone number. I asked a lot of people in the department of accounting in the NF University before I found Hank who was teaching in class. Through the window of the door, I saw Hank teaching the students, so I stood in a corner and didn‘t dare to disturb him. An hour later, Hank came out of the classroom after class. I quickly stood up and looked at him with a smile. “You... came to find me?” Hank seemed very surprised.

“Yes.” I nodded and said, “I have something to trouble you. Do you have time to talk?” Outside the classroom was the campus. The garden of the NF University was quite famous because there was a most famous department of landscape architecture in the country. “Of course.” Hank nodded. Then, we walked side by side on the campus of the university. Hank seemed to be very charming in school. When we were walking on campus, we attracted many people‘s attention.

Scanned with CamScanner Most of them were girls. As a woman I understood that most girls have a good impression of Hank But I had nothing to do with Hank, so the jealous look of those women have no lethality to me. Tm sorry about what happened last time. My husband was too reckless. Don‘t blame him,” I thought for a long time and said this opening sentence. Hank shrugged, smiled and then said, “I didn‘t expect you to get married so soon. This... this is too sudden for me.” “Not only you, I also feel it‘s quite sudden” I smiled helplessly. “What... what do you mean? Did you elope?” Hank paused and stared at me in confusion.
