Chapter 142:
Caroline’s words made me nervous. I leaned on my waist and slowly slumped on the sofa. She was right. How could the Wharton family allow its bloodline to be wandering outside? Two months ago, Herbert’s mother had suddenly come to visit, bringing so many children’s items. It was clear that their family cared deeply about this child. But could I accept my fate just like that? No, that was impossible. I would still have to fight with all my might!
I adjusted my mood and said firmly, “I will never give up the right to raise this child!”
“It’s not up to you to decide.”
Caroline sneered.
I glared at her and said, “You like Herbert. I won’t compete with you. You can have a baby with him. Why do you have to steal my child?”
“It’s not that you don’t want to compete with me, but it’s that you don’t have the qualifications to compete with me at all, because you’re just a substitute for me!”
Caroline raised her chin, her attitude extremely arrogant. Seeing her domineering look, I seemed to understand a little. She chose this time to provoke me, probably to make me agitated, so that the baby in my belly wouldn’t be born smoothly.
Realizing this conspiracy, I suppressed my anger and said to myself in my heart, Bella, don’t fall into her trap. Be patient! Then, I chuckled.
“What are you laughing at?” Caroline asked.
I stopped smiling and revealed her plot.
“I’m laughing at you for telling me these things today just because you don’t have confidence. Is it because he refuses to divorce me? You can’t wait anymore?”
“Nonsense! Herbert said that he would divorce you after you give birth to the child, and then marry me.”
Caroline shouted at me.
“Since that’s the case, my expected date of delivery is about to arrive. You can’t wait just a few more days? You just have to rush so far to find me here?”
I expressed my contempt for her.
Caroline didn’t say anything. She hesitated for a moment and then said, “Bella, do you know why Herbert sent you to this villa on Moon Mountain?”
Caroline crossed her arms in front of her chest, and her eyes were emanating a strange look.
“What are you trying to say?” I asked.
Caroline lowered her head and smiled, saying, “On the surface, it’s you who didn’t behave like a woman. Herbert was angry, so he sent you to this abandoned place, to avoid making him a cuckold again.”
I stared at her in shock. She even knew these things. It seemed that these were also told to her by Herbert!
But it was a matter between me and him. How could he tell other women?
Bella’s POV:
Did this mean that he had a very close relationship with Caroline? They were so intimate that they could share anything? For some reason, I felt a stabbing pain in my heart. After I relaxed a little, I couldn’t help but snort inwardly. Herbert had been thinking about Caroline for ten years. A man like him, with all his achievements, had never fallen for another woman in all that time. It was clear how important she was in his heart.
Thinking of this, my heart ached even more. Then I touched my swollen belly. At that moment, the baby started moving restlessly as well.
