Chapter 110:
I felt flustered. Although I knew that his ex-girlfriend must not be an ordinary person, I didn’t expect her to be so beautiful. She was beyond my imagination.
Though I considered myself pretty, I knew I wasn’t in the same league as Caroline.
At this moment, my heart hurt so much. I touched my chest, feeling as though there was a knife cutting through it. I couldn’t help but laugh bitterly.
I was laughing at myself. These days, I thought Herbert and I had developed some feelings for each other. But it was all ridiculous.
Herbert wouldn’t like me at all!
Which man would forget such an ex-girlfriend? It turned out that everything had been a joke, a joke!
His favorite was actually his ex-girlfriend!
I looked at the woman sitting there, analyzing her with picky eyes. She had short curly hair and delicate makeup. She wore a black-and-white sleeveless suit, looking very elegant.
The pearl jewelry adorning her ears, neck, and wrist was dazzling. It was clear that her family was either rich or noble. Her noble temperament was evident everywhere.
This ex-girlfriend was beautiful and dignified.
She was beautiful and dignified. She looked as noble as Herbert. If they stood together, they would truly look like a couple. As for me, not only was I not as good-looking as this woman, but I also didn’t have her grace and elegance.
At that moment, Caroline looked up. Our eyes met, and she recognized me. She smiled and waved at me. Although I had mentally prepared for this moment, I was still nervous. But since I was already here, I couldn’t back out, especially in front of her. I couldn’t let her overwhelming presence intimidate me.
Without hesitation, I stepped forward, walking confidently to the seat. I sat down and said calmly, “Sorry, I’m late.”
Caroline smiled, pursing her lips.
“It doesn’t matter. I know you’re pregnant now, so it must be a little troublesome for you to go out.”
I was stunned. This woman knew I was pregnant. She seemed to know everything about me. In an instant, I felt as if I was fighting a battle I was unprepared for. I wasn’t sure if I could win against the woman who had once been loved by Herbert.
Bella’s POV:
The woman in front of me didn’t have the arrogant expression one would expect from a third party. Caroline had known Herbert longer than I had. From a certain perspective, I was the ridiculous third party.
She seemed to understand why Herbert had loved her so much, as her voice was soft and beautiful.
“Miss Ewell? If you have something to say, then just say it. I have things to do later.”
I didn’t want to chat with her anymore. I just wanted to know why she was here today. Caroline lowered her head, staring at the coffee cup in her hands. She seemed to hesitate for a few seconds before finally lifting her gaze to meet mine with her big, bright eyes.
“Mrs. Wharton, I’m sorry. I know I shouldn’t have come to see you, but I truly love him. I can’t live without him, and he can’t live without me. Please allow us to be together, okay?”
Caroline’s pleading look hit me unexpectedly. This feeling was strange. I was Herbert’s wife, the one who should have been hurt, yet somehow, I felt like the villain in this situation, the third party. I lost my confidence in an instant.
