Chapter 863:
“In the future, leave Ryan to me. I won’t let him trouble you.”
Hearing this, I felt a rush of gratitude and laid my head on Herbert’s shoulder.
Herbert’s POV:
Bella sobbed softly against my shoulder.
“How could my life be like this? Other people have a happy family with parents who love their children, but how could I have such a father? He didn’t care about us when we were kids, and now he always makes trouble for us and embarrasses us,” she said, her voice thick with emotion.
Seeing the sadness on her face, I frowned, my heart aching for her. I stroked her back gently, pursing my lips before smiling softly.
“You always give me such a strong impression. It’s rare to see this fragile, complaining side of you.”
Bella grabbed the tissue from my hand, wiped her tears away, and said, “Everyone has a fragile moment, even me. Don’t think I’m always strong. I also need someone to comfort and take care of me.”
I could see that she was feeling better now. I pinched her nose playfully and said, “I thought you were just a weed on the roadside—unafraid of wind, rain, or dust. You just keep on living, no matter what.”
Bella glared at me, her red eyes still full of emotion.

“I’ve never heard of someone who doesn’t like a beautiful flower but chooses to like the weeds on the roadside.”
I raised an eyebrow, teasing her deliberately.
“Maybe that person has seen and smelled all kinds of flowers and found them not good enough. The weeds on the roadside are more interesting.”
The next moment, Bella reached out angrily and grabbed the tie around my neck, pulling me toward her with force.
“What did you say? You’ve seen and smelled everything? What kind of flower did you smell? Tell me the truth.”
I smiled, playing along.
“I’ve already smelled it. What’s the use of telling you now? Anyway, you’re already my wife.”
I spread my hands out in mock helplessness, but Bella pushed me away with a huff.
“Why are you in such a hurry to get the marriage certificate with me? Turns out, you lied to me!” she said, her voice a mix of irritation and amusement.
Then Bella stood up and punched me in the chest.
I immediately reached out and grabbed Bella’s waist. Bella’s body immediately lost its balance. She toppled over and sat on my lap! I smiled and hugged her, not letting her get up. She saw me holding her waist and not letting go. She immediately said seriously, “Let me go!
“I won’t let you go!”
I looked at her with a smile, but I wouldn’t let her go.
