Chapter 647:
Herbert lowered his head and didn’t say anything more.
Once Lucky had calmed down, I spoke to Herbert in a cold tone.
“I have nothing to do with you anymore, so you’re free to be with anyone you want. I’m sorry, but Lucky is tired. I’ll take them away first.”
With that, I carried Lucky in one arm and took Lucas by the hand as we left the room.
Herbert’s POV:
I watched their retreating figures, clenching my fists. I immediately regretted what I had said.
I shouldn’t have shouted at Bella!
A minute later, as I was lost in my frustration, a small figure suddenly appeared at my side.
“Daddy!”
Lucas ran over to my bed. I looked around, but the room was empty—no one else was there. I asked, “Lucas, why did you come back? Where’s your mommy?”
“Mommy is waiting downstairs. She asked me to bring the lunch box,” Lucas replied.
I handed him the thermos and said, “Be careful. Don’t run. Listen to your mommy.”
“Got it.”
Lucas nodded and then ran toward the door with the thermos in his arms. Watching him leave, I felt an emptiness wash over me. The three of them had become everything in my life, and as soon as they left, it felt as though my heart had been hollowed out. I had never felt this way before. The sensation was both depressing and frustrating. Just as Lucas reached the door, he suddenly turned around and, with a naive smile, said, “Daddy, don’t worry. I’ll make mommy happy.”
Hearing this, I smiled and waved my hand at Lucas, signaling him to go ahead.
Lucas smiled innocently, then turned and ran out.
Bella’s POV:
On the way back, I bought fresh ingredients and made a delicious dinner for the children. The two little ones ate happily.
Joey, holding her soup bowl, smiled and said, “Your cooking skills are getting better and better.”
“I’ll keep cooking for you in the future,” I replied with a smile.
Joey frowned slightly, glancing at Lucas and Lucky.
“Why do I feel like there won’t be many opportunities like this in the future?”
I looked at Joey, confused.
“Why? Whenever you want to eat, I can cook for you.”
Joey held her bowl and laughed.
“I think you’ll soon take the children to stay at Herbert’s house.”
At that, the corners of my mouth twitched.
“You’re talking nonsense again.”
