Chapter 421
Bella‘s POV: Herbert stroked my shoulder and said, “Can this prove that I‘m not lying?” I looked at him
and asked, “Why didn‘t you tell me that something happened to your father? Why did you hide it from
me?”
Although there was no ambiguous relationship between him and Eva Green, I was still very sad.
Because every time he was in trouble, he would not tell me. He always kept it from me.
Hearing these words, Herbert frowned. His fingers slid across my hair, and he replied, “What happened
to my father this time was too troublesome. The other party wanted to destroy our family. If my father
couldn‘t clear his name this time, my mother and I would als
time, my mother and I would also be implicated, so I didn‘t immediately go through the wedding
formalities with you. This way, I can protect you and the children. No matter what happens to the
Wharton Family, it won‘t implicate you and our two children.”
I could see his love for me from his eyes, but I didn‘t agree with what he said.
“So you didn‘t mention the wedding because you were afraid of getting me into trouble?” I continued to
ask.

At this time, I was a little excited. I pushed his hand away, turned my back, and said, “Herbert, you act
like this every time. You say that you don’t want to get me into trouble, but two people who love each
other must stand together at any time. We should enjoy happy things together and face difficulties
together. This is the real love.”
“You said that it‘s for my good. Have you asked for my permission? Every time when you‘re in trouble,
you would ignore me. You don‘t treat me as the most important person in your life!” Hearing this,
Herbert immediately held my shoulder so that I could face him. He explained eagerly. “It‘s because you
are the most important person in my life that I can‘t bear to let you suffer with me. You can doubt
anything, but you can‘t doubt my love for you!”
Herbert‘s eyes were staring at me. His eyes were dark and deep. At this moment, he was a little
anxious. It could be seen that there was only me in his eyes.
This had something to do with our personalities.
I had a problem too. I was not confident enough, nor did I trust him.
At this time, I looked out of the window and said, “Betty and Hank are divorced because Hank has a
new lover outside.”
“Betty and Hank are different from us. Maybe you‘ve been thinking too much recently. Even if all the
men in the world cheat on their partners, I won‘t, because I can‘t fall in love with anyone else anymore.”
Herbert comforted me.
I went on to say, “Actually, I‘m very envious of Hank and Elsamara.”
“Elsarnara is like me in the past. She is bold and she believes in love. Betty beat and scolded her in
public, but she didn‘t take it seriously at all. When Betty kept making trouble, she and Hank hugged
each other tightly because she wanted to face it with Hank. They are like comrades.”

Herbert looked at me, and there were many doubts on his face. “Bella, I don‘t understand what
exactly you want to say.”
I did not respond to him but continued to say, “Although Hank and Elsamara are not glorious, they can
face problems together no matter what happens. It‘s really touching that they can encourage each
other.” At this time, Herbert held my shoulder and nodded. “I understand. I won‘t hide anything from you
in the future. Let‘s face everything together and encourage each other, okay?”
“No!”
Herbert was stunned.

when I face Lucas now? This time, something has happened to your father and you still chose not to let
me know.”
“You‘re blocking me out of the door and leaving me behind when you‘re in trouble. You‘re just treating
me as an accessory and don‘t treat me as your partner. Your other half? Or perhaps, you don‘t trust me
at all?” “I already know I was wrong. Why don‘t you punish me? I‘m at your disposal.” Herbert grabbed
my hand.
This time, I did not go soft on him and glanced at him with tears in my eyes. Then, I withdrew my hand
and said, “I don‘t have time to punish you. I‘ll go first.” After that, I took my bag, turned around, and left.
“Bella!” Herbert wanted to stop me. However, I had already opened the door of the office. There was
not only the secretary standing outside, but also several men and women with documents in their
hands. It seemed that they were here to report to Herbert. At this time, I turned my head and said,
“John is innocent. Stop all your actions immediately.” After that, I turned and walked away quickly.
When I walked into the elevator, I saw that he was about to come over. I quickly pressed the close
button. In fact, I was not very angry anymore. But he was like this every time. He didn‘t tell me or
discuss anything with me. This time, I wouldn‘t forgive him easily, unless he really realized the
seriousness of the problem.
Ding! The elevator reached the first floor, and I stepped out of the elevator. Just as I stepped out of the
lobby of the building and walked down the stairs, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind me.
“Bella!”
