Chapter 91:
Miranda seemed to realize that she had said too much, so she didn’t continue. Instead, she immediately changed the subject.
“Oh, Young Master told me to let you rest more. Look, I’m talking to you again. I’ll go clean up now. Have a rest!”
After that, she took the rag and left.
Once Miranda left, I couldn’t help but think, “No wonder Herbert is so cold. Does it have something to do with his upbringing? A couple with an indifferent relationship can easily affect a child’s emotional development. I can’t help but sympathize with him.”
Although he was born into a wealthy family, he might not have had the happiest childhood, much like what it feels like to grow up in a broken family. Thinking of this, I felt a little more distressed for Herbert.
Because I’m pregnant, I’m prone to feeling sleepy. I quickly fell asleep in bed.
At six o’clock in the afternoon, the sound of the door opening woke me up.
I opened my eyes and saw the solemn expression on Herbert’s face. He took off his silver suit, pulled off his wine-red tie, and threw it on the sofa. After sitting down, he unbuttoned a few buttons on his shirt in frustration. Seeing that he was in a bad mood, I asked carefully, “Why did you come back so early today?”
“Or should I stay there and let others make fun of me?” Herbert said coldly.
I got out of bed, poured a glass of water, placed it in front of him, and said with a smile, “Who would dare to laugh at you?”
“Did you do it on purpose?” Herbert stared at me.
“What on purpose?” I didn’t understand what he meant.
“The clothes.” He glanced down at the clothes he was wearing.
I finally understood. He must have been laughed at by others because of his outfit. It was really funny. However, I couldn’t laugh in front of Herbert, so I had to continue to pretend to be innocent.
“Who said this outfit isn’t good?”
Bella’s POV:
Herbert glanced at me.
“A business associate of mine asked if my image designer is available.”
“Hahaha…”
Hearing this, I couldn’t help but laugh.
“Don’t laugh!”
Herbert frowned. The usually composed man seemed a bit embarrassed in that moment. It was the first time I had seen him like this, so I quickly stopped laughing.
“The clothes you’re wearing are definitely different from your usual ones. They look energetic and nice. The main reason is that they contrast so much with your usual temperament. I’m just not used to it.”
These vibrant clothes go well with your black suit. For example, this sky-blue shirt and black suit won’t look so dull, and this wine-colored tie with a black shirt makes you look particularly elegant. A silver suit with a white shirt will make your demeanor seem gentler.
As I spoke, my eyes stayed focused on Herbert’s expression. When his face softened, I felt more at ease. He walked over to the dressing mirror and tried on a few outfits. Then he nodded, seeming satisfied.
Finally, the silence between us was broken. At least there was some communication now, which made me happy. That night, we slept in the same bed.
