Chapter 85
Bride of Mr.Billion
Herbertâs POV:
Bella left.
When she left, she was confident and free. Looking at Bellaâs back, I couldnât help admiring her. This woman gave me a different feeling as soon as she appeared in my life. She looked tough on the outside, but her heart was soft on the inside. She was straightforward and not hypocritical. She was very stubborn when she encountered setbacks. She was different from the women I used to date. âHerbert, you will need someone to take care of you in the future. Why donât I move in to take care of you?â
Caroline turned around and sat beside me. I didnât look at Caroline and said directly, âIf you think that house is too small, I can rent a bigger house to you.â âHerbert, thatâs not what I meant.â Caroline was eager to explain. âIâm used to living alone.â I replied. I really didnât love Caroline anymore, so it was impossible for me to allow her to move in and live with me.
Caroline then said, âHerbert, I donât mean anything else. I also know my physical condition. I just want to see you every day. Iâm happy only when youâre happy.â âReally?â I raised my head and stared into her eyes. Was her intention really that pure? I didnât believe Recalling what she had just said to Bella, I was still very angry. If it werenât for her physical condition, I would have driven her out. âYou donât believe me?â Caroline reached out and grabbed my hand. I hated her touch, so I retracted my hand, got up, and walked to the French window. âI want to stay alone for a while. You go back first.â I said with my back facing her. Caroline seemed to be a little hurt. She walked behind me, stretched out her arms, and hugged my waist. She said in a crying voice, âHerbert, donât you remember the days when we were together? At that time, we were so happy. I was the only one in your eyes, and you were the only one in my eyes, We were the only one for each other!â I was a little helpless, but I was a little moved. We did have a very beautiful past. But everything was in the past. I said, âItâs all in the past.â âWe can start over again!â Caroline turned around and walked in front of me, looking straight into my eyes. âFrom the time you made the choice, we could never love each other again, let alone now!â I frowned and said.
Tears welled up in her eyes. She grabbed my hand eagerly and explained, âHerbert, I knew I was wrong, but I had no choice. I really had no choice. I couldnât watch my father and not save him.

Caroline begged, âHerbert, I donât need to be your wife. I donât want anything. I just want to stay with you...â
âDonât you want anything from me? In fact, you want everything. You disappoint me.â After that, I was about to leave. âHerbert...â Caroline fell on the carpet. I turned to look at her and saw that she was suffering from an asthma attack. I immediately bent down to pick her up and asked anxiously, âWhereâs the medicine? Whereâs your medicine?â âItâs... in my... bag,â Caroline said with difficulty. I immediately took out the medicine from my bag and sprayed it on Carolineâs nose a few times. Her condition gradually improved. At this time, Miranda heard the noise and quickly ran out. âMiss Ewell has asthma?â
Miranda asked in surprise. âGet me a glass of water.â I didnât answer her. âOkay.â Miranda hurried to get some water. Caroline laid in my arms and said sadly, âI know Iâm sick. I canât get married or have a baby in the future. Maybe I am a little harsh on Bella. Maybe I canât control my jealousy of her. Herbert, donât blame me!â
I couldnât bear to see Caroline suffering. My tone softened a lot. âDonât think too much. The treatment plan from Europe has been sent to me. I will send you to Europe as soon as possible.â âNo! I donât want to go. I donât want to leave you.â Caroline grabbed my collar and said. âI will go with you.â After all, I couldnât be cruel. Although I no longer loved her, I didnât want to see her die.
This kind of care had nothing to do with love. I just treated her like a friend. âReally?â Carolineâs eyes lit up. âI am a man of my words.â I nodded. At this time, Miranda came with a cup of water. I took the cup and handed it to her. She took the cup obediently and drank half a glass of water. After a while, I instructed Miranda, âMiranda, you donât have to leave. Iâll send a car to send you and Caroline to her residence. You can take care of her for the time being.â
Bellaâs POV:
I didnât have a place to go. I wandered around the street and finally returned to my motherâs house with the suitcase. As soon as I entered the door, I found Ryan sitting on the sofa leisurely eating dessert at his motherâs house.
âWhy are you here?â I asked Ryan. â.... I came to see your mother and Betty.â Ryan immediately put down the dessert in his hand. âHumph, I donât believe youâre so kind! My mom and Betty donât need your care. Leave now!â |

â... Iâm your father after all. How can you talk to me like that?â Ryan said without any confidence. âHow dare you call me my father! What a joke! My father died 15 years ago!â I roared. At this moment, my mother heard the sound of quarrel and ran out from the kitchen. Seeing that I was back, she quickly asked, âBella, why are you back?â âMom, didnât I tell you not to let him come? Why did you let him in again?â I asked angrily. Mom saw the suitcase behind me and asked, âWhy did you come back with the suitcase? Did you quarrel with Herbert?â
Hearing this, Ryan also asked anxiously, âHow can you quarrel with Herbert? Youâre really ignorant!â I felt disgusted by Ryanâs ugly appearance. Then I announced, âMom, itâs not a quarrel between us. I just completed the divorce procedure with him!â
Originally, I didnât want to tell my mother so quickly so as not to make her worry about me. But now it seemed necessary to announce it in public, especially to let Ryan immediately know that I had nothing to do with Herbert. Only in this way could Ryan completely disappear from my motherâs house.
