Chapter 945:
“Connor isn’t a tiger. He won’t hurt you. Why are you so nervous?”
Only then did Joey relax, but she stammered, “I… I’m not nervous at all. I just feel… speechless.”
Bella’s POV:
I knew that Joey had a good impression of Connor. Seeing how upset she was, I couldn’t help but feel uncomfortable. Originally, I wanted to match her up with Connor, but it was a pity that Connor had no interest in Joey.
So, I said tentatively, “If you mind, why don’t I ask Amy to replace you?”
Suddenly, Joey straightened her chest and said, “What’s there to care about? It doesn’t matter who’s the best man. What’s important is that when you get married, the bridesmaid must be me. Besides, I’m still waiting for the big gift from Herbert. How can I give this opportunity to someone else?”
After that, she turned around and went out.
I couldn’t help but smile. A few days later, Herbert finally came back. After dinner, I had already coaxed Lucky and told Lucas a story to get him settled. After going upstairs, I made a phone call. It was very noisy on Herbert’s side. He said he was having dinner with his colleagues and would come home afterward.
I quickly took a shower and did my skincare routine. By ten o’clock, I was lying on the big bed in a lace-rimmed nightdress.
The wait was really boring. Herbert hadn’t come back yet, and I started to doze off while watching a drama.
When I woke up, I suddenly opened my eyes and realized that the lights in my bedroom had been turned off, and the TV had been turned off too.
I didn’t know when I had an arm around my waist. I turned my head and looked back. In the moonlight, I saw Herbert lying next to me.
The dim moonlight shone on his handsome face, and I was very surprised.
“Oh my god, when did he come back? Why didn’t I hear anything?”
Just as I was feeling vexed, I heard his low voice.
“You’re awake?”
Hearing this, I sat up in surprise, reached out to turn on the wall lamp, and the room immediately lit up with a soft glow.
“When… when did you come back?”
I looked at the person beside me and asked.
At this, Herbert reached out and grabbed the wristwatch on the bedside table. He glanced at it and replied, “I came in at 11 o’clock. It’s been three hours.”
Hearing this, I touched my hair and complained, “You’ve been back for so long, why didn’t you tell me? I’ve been waiting for you all night!”
Hearing this, a playful smile appeared on Herbert’s lips.
“When I came back, you were sleeping very soundly. I carried you to the bed, but you didn’t wake up at all. Bella, did you wait for me all night?”
“I… I really did wait for you all night, but… I was bored. I was tired, and I fell asleep.”
I pouted and lowered my head, not daring to look at him. I was frustrated with myself. How could I fall asleep?
