Chapter 377
Bella’s POV:
A few days later, I received another call from Joey.
I immediately asked, “How’s your date with Robert?”
“Don’t mention it. I have driven that man away. We just met, and he touched my waist. Then he came
to my company and said that he was very satisfied with me and wanted me to sleep with him.” “This is
too much,” I said. “He’s a wretched man,” Joey shouted. I said, “He’s a very reliable man in the
company.” “Well, well, I don’t think you should continue introducing men to me. I’d better find someone
slowly in the future. If it goes on like this, my heart can’t stand it.”
“Okay.”
I didn’t introduce anyone to Joey anymore. After I got off work, I began to focus on my online business.
These days were really wasted. All the time was occupied by the two babies and Herbert. I didn’t have
much time to take care of my business. On this day, I was kneeling on the floor and seriously packing
things up. There were packages and delivery orders everywhere on the floor.
Herbert was back.
“You’re starting to do online business again?” There was a hint of dissatisfaction in Herbert’s voice.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Yes.” I looked up and answered. Then I lowered my head and continued to pack up the packages.
Herbert stretched out his hand and pulled down the tie around his neck. He squatted down and said to
me, “Let’s not do it anymore, okay? You don’t even have enough time to accompany me and the
children after work and yet you’re still spending time on this.”
I looked up and smiled. “I’m sorry. These orders are urgent. Next time, I’ll wait until both Lucas and
Lucky are asleep before packing them up.” Herbert could not help pulling a long face. “What are you
working so hard for?” “To make money.” I chuckled. “Is your life not good now? What do you want so
much money for?” Herbert asked in confusion. “To buy a house. I want to buy a house that belongs to
myself.” I answered with a smile, but I didn’t stop working. “What house do you want to buy? How much
is the budget? I’ll ask my secretary to transfer the money to your account right away.” Herbert said as
he took out his mobile phone and was about to make a call.
Hearing this, I frowned. Then I stood up and looked at the person in front of me. “I know you have
money, but I want to buy a house that really belongs to me with my own ability.” “What do you think of
this villa? If you like it, I’ll transfer it to your name right away. This house belongs to you entirely.”
Herbert stepped forward and held my shoulder. “Why don’t you understand? Herbert, I know that as
long as I want it, you will hold everything in front Chapter 377
08:36 of me, but after all, it was not created by my own hands,” I said.
“Is there any difference?” Herbert stared at me in confusion.
I walked to the window, looked into the distance, and said, “You may not know how my childhood came
about. My father abandoned the three of us, and my mother could only rely on a part-time job and
relatives’ help to raise us. My sister and I had no sense of security since we were young. We were
afraid that we would not be able to eat the next meal. We were afraid that my mother would hold us
and cry helplessly…”
At this point, my shoulders trembled a few times, and I couldn’t help shedding tears.
With a serious look on his face, Herbert stepped forward and hugged me from behind. He wiped the
tears on my cheeks with his fingers and said softly, “In the future, let me take care of you. I won‘t let
you suffer anymore.”
Hearing the words of the person behind me, my heart was extremely warm, but I still shook my head.
“No, I will learn to rely on myself in the future, so that I won’t lose my sense of security.”
“Are you afraid that I’ll abandon you?” Herbert touched my hair and asked dotingly.
Hearing this, I pursed my lips and smiled. Then I turned around and lay in Herbert’s arms. I touched his
chest with my hand and said, “Herbert, it’s said that love is undying and eternal, but I don’t think
SO.”
“Do you not trust me? I…” Herbert was eager to explain.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmI covered his mouth with my hand and looked up at him and said, “It’s not that I don’t trust you, but I
have a different opinion of love.”
Herbert’s eyes were fixed on me, and he listened attentively to my words.
“A man may love a woman a few years, more than ten years, or even longer than that. But I think it’s
impossible for a man to love a woman eternally.” I said with a smile.
Herbert opened his mouth, but in the end, he did not say a word.
| said again, “There could be many reasons why he doesn’t love her anymore. It could be that he had
found many flaws in this woman and he couldn’t tolerate her anymore. Or it could be that he had fallen
in love with another woman. It could also happen due to the change in his identity, status, or
environment. This man might not know how to appreciate the woman he first fell in love with anymore.
It’s the same for women to love men. Just like my biological father should have loved my mother at
first, but when he met Connie, he fell in love with her and abandoned my mother.”
“And you, do you dare to say that you didn’t love Caroline before? You should love her very deeply.
right? Do you still love her now?” I looked at Herbert with sly eyes and asked.
“I… can’t refute what you said, but I still think that love is eternal.” The smile on Herbert’s face was
unnatural.
“So women must have the ability to feed themselves and their children. It’s too risky to rely on a man.
This is what I have learned from my experience over the years. So I have to buy a house myself. In the
future, if you don’t love me anymore, the children and I will have a place that belongs to us,” I said
firmly.
