Chapter 72
Bella‘s POV: Time flew. In a blink of an eye, I was almost seven months pregnant. My stomach grew
bigger and bigger, and my movements became clumsier and clumsier I could clearly feel the movement
of the fetus, and it could be said that I had developed a deep relationship with the little guy in my belly.
That morning, Miranda went upstairs to report, “Mrs. Wharton, Madame is here to see you!” Hearing this,
I couldn‘t help frowning.
Ever since I met Herbert‘s mother last time, she seemed to have never appeared in my life.
Although I didn‘t like her, she was Herbert‘s mother, so I put on my clothes and went downstairs. By the
time I reached the living room, she was already sitting on the sofa. “Mother, long time no see.” I took the
initiative to greet her. After looking at me for a long time, McKenna said, “Sit down and talk.” This time, it
was very strange. I remembered that when I met her, she disliked me very much and was full of hostility.
This time, she was actually a little friendly? At least for now, there was no hostility or disgust in her eyes.
“I‘ve been wanting to come visit you for a long time. I‘m too busy, and I haven‘t been able to spare any
time. Now that I‘ve seen that your situation is good, I can rest assured. Right, I bought some children‘s
items. Why don‘t you let Miranda come with me to the Wharton house to collect it?” McKenna suddenly
said. Hearing this, I looked at Miranda with some hesitation. After all, except for the security guards at
the door, Miranda was the only one taking care of me in this villa. McKenna continued, “It‘s four hours
journey from here to the Wharton house. I‘ll have her rush back
as soon as possible before nightfall.” “Mom, it‘s up to you to decide.” I felt that it wouldn‘t be a big deal
for McKenna to take Miranda away for half a day, so I nodded in agreement. “Then don‘t waste any more
time. Miranda, come with me!” McKenna stood up. Sure enough, when it was getting dark, Miranda was
sent back. As expected, Miranda brought back a lot of things for babies, such as small beds, milk bottles,
pillows, beddings, clothes, milk powder... She bought all the things that babies needed, and many of

them were branded products that I had never seen before. These things were probably worth more than
20,000 dollars.
Seeing these things, I touched my belly and said happily, “Baby, did you see that? Grandma bought
these for you.”
After flipping through these things, I said, “Miranda, I‘m hungry. Make me something to eat.” “Oh, I‘ll go
right now.” Miranda replied and hurried over.

After a while, there was a loud noise in the kitchen. Something was broken. I quickly stepped forward to
have a look. Sure enough, I saw Miranda squatting on the ground and picking up the broken fragments.
“Miranda, why are you so careless?” As soon as I finished my words, Miranda accidentally cut her hand
with a broken piece of porcelain. “Oh my, you‘re bleeding. Hurry up and bandage it. I‘ll just cook myself a
bowl of noodles.” I quickly pushed Miranda out of the kitchen. I vaguely felt something strange, but I
couldn‘t tell exactly what it was. From the moment when she was taken away by McKenna, I felt uneasy.
I felt as if something would happen. But what would happen now? Maybe I was thinking too much and
too sensitive? McKenna‘s POV:
Who am I? I am the hostess of the Wharton Family, and I am McKenna Winter.
I was one of the most distinguished women in this country. But I didn‘t expect to be threatened by a
woman. The hateful woman was called Caroline.
I was not satisfied with the two women that Herbert found. But Caroline was definitely the woman I hated
the most. But she had something on me. I couldn‘t do anything. A week later, I received a call from
Caroline. “Mrs. Wharton, have you come up with a solution?”
Hearing this annoying voice, I couldn‘t help frowning. “Not yet.” She hesitated for a moment and then
said, “You are a very powerful person. How can you not think of a solution to such a small matter? Are
you deliberately bring perfunctory?” These words made me very angry. “Caroline, I am your elder, and
you will be my son‘s wife in the future. Is this how you talk to your mother?”
Caroline‘s tone slowed down a little. “I‘m sorry. I was too anxious. I hope you can understand my
feelings. I really don‘t want to wait any longer.” “We have to do it step by step. Don‘t be in a hurry.” I had
my own plan. I had to stabilize Caroline first and prevent her from sending those photos to others. So my
attitude toward her had eased a lot. “Aunt McKenna, do you have any plan?” Caroline continued to ask
me. “I‘ve already gone to see that woman and have a comprehensive plan, but it will take two months to
implement it.” I said.
“Why do we have to wait for two months? Since we have a comprehensive plan, let‘s do it immediately!”
Caroline was very anxious. “Right now, that woman is carrying the child of Herbert. This is the child of
the Wharton Family ! must make sure that she can safely give birth to the child. No matter what, I can‘t
harm the child.”

said.
“Aunt McKenna, is this really not your excuse?” Caroline obviously did not believe me. “Since I have
promised you, I will not go back on my word. If you don‘t trust me, don‘t cooperate with me.” My attitude
was still tough. “Very well. I‘ll trust you then. I‘ll wait for another two months. But don‘t give me any more
excuses when the time comes.”

“I only need you to do one thing. Don‘t hurt the baby in that woman‘s belly. I don‘t care about anything
else.” I said. “Okay!”
Two months later.
Bella‘s POV:
Winter in the mountains was unusually cold. The villa was equipped with heater, and the floor was
covered with wool carpet. I still felt cold, especially at night. I covered myself with a thick quilt, but my
hands and feet still felt cold. I couldn‘t fall asleep in the middle of the night. I wanted to drink some water,
but there was no water.
I had no choice but to get up from my warm bed, put on a cotton–padded gown, and went out of the
bedroom.
Holding a cup and with the moonlight from outside the window, I wanted to go downstairs and get some
hot water from the kitchen. In such a cold day, I would feel colder if I drank some cold water.
As soon as I reached the stairs, I suddenly heard a conversation downstairs. I couldn‘t help but stop.
There was only Miranda and I in the villa. Who would Miranda talk to? And it seemed to be a man.
“Mr. Wharton, you can sleep in the secondary bedroom upstairs. Mrs. Wharton won‘t find out.” Miranda
suppressed her voice.
There was only one bedroom downstairs. Miranda lived there, so what was left were only three
bedrooms upstairs.
“No need. I‘ll sleep in the car.” This was Herbert‘s voice. My body suddenly became nervous. It was
really him. When did he come?
He didn‘t come when I was about to sleep at night. Did he come here when I was asleep?
It was hard to drive up the Moon Mountain during the day, let alone at night. I couldn‘t help worrying
about Herbert!
