Chapter 54
Bella’s POV
The interior decoration of the villa was even more amazing. I felt as if I had entered a palace.
My heart couldn’t help but beat faster.
I looked forward and saw a middle-aged man in his 50s sitting on the sofa. He wore a pair of gold
rimmed glasses, black trousers and a white shirt. He looked like a senior official.
That should be Herbert’s father, Derian Wharton.
Herbert’s father was not as serious and cold as Herbert. He smiled like a gentleman and looked easy-
going In the living room a few meters away from his father, there was a sofa with a completely different
decoration style from this villa. A middle-aged woman was sitting on the sofa.
The woman should be in her fifties, but her skin was fine and white, her eyebrows were thin and curved,
and her makeup was a little heavy. It should be to cover some fine lines on her face, right? But from her
expression, it seemed that she was a strict woman.
This should be Herbert’s mother, McKenna Winter, right? His eyes were very similar to hers.”
Thinking about it carefully, he found that the stern and cold temperament of Herbert was probably from
his mother, but Winter’s eyes were more shrewd and sharp.
Right at this moment, I noticed the look in Winter’s eyes.
Her eyes were like two knives, sharp and aggressive, which made me very confused and anxious.
Does Herbert’s mother not like me?

I carefully recalled what had just happened and tried to figure it out. I may not have done well enough.
Just then, I felt a pair of big warm hands around my waist.
Then, I saw his respectful attitude, but there was no smile on his face. He said, “Dad, Mom, this is my
wife Bella.”
immediately bowed and said, “Dad, Mom, nice to meet you!” Connor also placed the gift on the coffee
table at this moment. “This is a gift that Miss Bella prepared for you all.”
Winter had been staring at me. I didn’t have the courage to look at her, so I quickly lowered my eyes
Herbert’s father laughed gently. “Hello, Bela’ Sit down and rest first.”
Thank you, Dad. As soon as I finished my words, he pulled my wrist and we sat on the other sofa The
maid poured us a cup of coffee and juice. Everything in front of me made me very cautious. This kind of

I took a look at the ornaments around me. They were all expensive antiques, and I was stepping on a
very high-end carpet.
The sense of restraint grew stronger
At this time, Herbert’s father got up to answer the phone, and then said to Winter, while putting on his
clothes, “Someone in the White House came to me to talk about some work. I have to go and meet him
in a hurry. Take good care of Bella.” “Do you think I would dare to not take care of the wife that your son
brought back?” At this moment, this was the first sentence that Winter said after I entered the door. Not
only did she made me a little embarrassed, but she also made the father and son feel a little
embarrassed. Mr. Wharton laughed. “You’re still behaving like a child. You and your son have had a
minor conflict Could it be that you’re going to implicate Bella?”
I could tell that Winter wasn’t satisfied with me. Mr. Wharton was hiding it for his wife.
I lowered my head and pretended that I didn’t know anything, but Herbert held my hand.
It was this simple action that warmed my heart.
I said to myself in my heart.
In fact, I didn’t have to feel inferior at all, nor did I have to care too much about the attitude of his parents
to me.
I didn’t marry Herbert because of their power. I just wanted to give the child in my belly an identity. Now
I’ve achieved my goal, I won’t care about anything else at the moment.
Thinking of this, I felt much calmer.
“Bella, from now on, this place will be your home. There’s no need to be reserved. I still have work to do
today, so I’ll have to go now.” Derian Wharton walked up to me with a smile.
I stood up and nodded. “Thank you, Dad.”
And then, Derian Wharton walked to the door. A man dressed in a suit had already gone up to him with a
briefcase in his hand. After a few words, they left the manor.
After Derian Wharton left, the room fell into silence About two minutes later, Herbert’s mother said, “I
heard that you used to work in the Wharton Group?”
I was told that Herbert had already explained my situation to his mother, so I nodded, “I used to work in
the finance department of the Wharton Group.
“So you are working in the finance department. No wonder you are so good at scheming.” The corner of
Winter’s lips curved into a contemptuous smile.
Scheming? So. Winter believed that I’ve taken a fancy to her son’s money, which was why I was using all

very disgusted. But as soon as I thought of Herbert and the baby in my belly, I didn’t refute her, but chose
to endure for the time being
However, her attitude made me feel much more relaxed.
All my previous nervousness was because I cared about her opinion of me. But now, her arrogant
attitude made me understand. I didn’t have to care about her opinion at all! “Is there anyone else in your
family? Winter asked yet another question. “I live with my mother and sister.” I replied. Winter frowned,
“Where’s your father? Has he passed away, or has he divorced your mother?”
At this moment, I saw the disdain In her eyes. I bravely met her eyes and said, “That man ran away with
his lover 15 years ago. Since then, I had no father in my life, so please don’t mention him in front of me
in the future!”
McKenna nodded, “So that’s how it is.” “Then what’s your mother’s job? She continued to ask.
“When I didn’t work in the past, my mother warked as a lemporary worker. Since I started working. she
had been doing house chores at home. My sister was in school, and there were no other relatives in our
family except for my uncle’s family. Because a few years ago, my family led a very bad life My relatives
were afraid that we would borrow money from them, so they didn’t contact my family anymore!” I quickly
finished my words. I looked at her knitted brows. She seemed to be thinking or hesitating.
I don’t know what she was thinking, but I didn’t care anymore.
Faced with a woman who was unfriendly to me, it was already the greatest respect for me not to be
angry
We fell into silence again…
