Chapter 191
Bella’s POV
Hank didn’t understand what I meant at all.
“Yes, you did a good job in terms of spending money on them, but Betty doesn’t only need these things.
What she needs most are your care and love.”
I went on, “I saw that you aren’t enthusiastic about Betty as a husband. Don’t you need to reflect on this?
What she needs now is your concern.”
Hank lowered his head and said nothing. About ten seconds later, he suddenly raised his head and
looked at me. He said, “Bella, don’t you know why I married Betty? The person I love is not her. How can
I be enthusiastic about her? Do you want me to deceive her with hypocritical feelings?”
Hearing this, I was very shocked. I didn’t expect him to say all these things.
I was a little embarrassed, but I was more worried about Betty. I tried my best to lower my voice. “You
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtand Betty are married, and you have a lovely child. You should put all your thoughts and feelings on
Betty.” I knew too well how it felt not to be loved by my husband, especially after giving birth to a child.
“You know who I love in my heart, but now you ask me to love someone else. Do you think it’s so easy to
change a person’s feelings? Can it be changed at will?” Hank’s facial expression was distorted.
He was a gentleman, but at this moment, I felt that he was very depressed and it was terrifying. I was a
little regretful to say those words. My intention was that Hank would love Betty more and I hoped that
Betty would be happy. But I didn’t expect our conversation to become like this. “Don’t say that again in
the future. You are Betty’s husband now. Betty loves you very much and protects you a lot.” After that, I
was about to leave with the basin. This conversation made me very uncomfortable. However, as soon as
I took two steps, my arm was grabbed by someone behind me! I looked back and saw Hank looking at
me.
“Let me go!” I yelled. Instead of letting go, he grabbed my shoulders and said in an urgent tone, “You
know my feelings for you, but you asked me to love Betty. It’s not fair to me at all!” “Betty is your wife
now!” I pushed him away anxiously. “I didn’t want to marry her at all. It’s her scheme!” Hank said angrily.
“Even if she took the initiative that day, you didn’t refuse her, did you? You pushed all the blame to Betty,
is that right?” I questioned him. Hank continued, “When I was drunk, I took her as you.” I didn’t expect
Hank to say such a thing. If Betty knew about this, how could she bear it?
0 “I’ll pretend that I didn’t hear that. Don’t say that again!” I tried to push Hank’s hand away. “Bella, I don’t
believe you didn’t feel anything about me at all.” Hank refused to let go of my arm. “Don’t ask these
boring questions. Betty is next door.” I shook off his hand. “..” Hank seemed to want to say something.
Suddenly, a soft female voice came from outside the door. “Hank, Bella, you…” Hearing Betty’s voice, I
looked up and saw Betty standing at the door. I was a little flustered, hoping that Betty didn’t hear what
Hank had just said.
Hank didn’t say anything. I quickly smiled at Betty and said, “I came over to dry the clothes. Hank wanted
to dry the child’s clothes himself.”
I knew it was a bad excuse.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmI didn’t know how long Betty had been standing at the door and how much she had heard. I had no
feelings for Hank and I had never wanted to do anything to hurt Betty. But I still felt very guilty. I didn’t
even dare to look at Betty after what Hank just said. Betty walked in with a smile and came to Hank. She
reached out to hold his hand and said to me with a smile, “He’s afraid that you’re too tired. After all,
you’re taking care of me and my child. He doesn’t want to trouble you.” Hearing this, I felt a little strange.
Betty’s tone was very distant. I looked at Betty’s smiling face and suddenly understood that she was
deliberately reminding me: They were a family, and I was an outsider. I felt a little embarrassed. “Am I
right, Hank?” Betty asked Hank with a smile. “Yes.” Hank’s face was expressionless. Betty was very
happy. She looked at me proudly and then said to Hank, “Hank, I suddenly crave a burger. Why don’t
you buy it for me?” “Okay, I’ll buy it for you,” Hank replied. After Hank left, the room was very quiet. I felt
a little out of breath. I made up an excuse and turned to leave. Betty stopped me. “Bella!” I stopped.
Betty walked up to me and knocked off the basin in my hand. The sound of the plastic basin and the floor
colliding with each other irritated my eardrums…
