Chapter 838:
I walked closer to the screen, my eyes locking onto the beautiful face. Yes, this was the same young woman I had seen that day.
At this moment, she was standing on a grassy lawn. In the distance, there were mountains, a blue sky, and white clouds. She was holding a walking stick in one hand, wearing a white suit, and radiating youthful vitality.
“Hey, this is…”
At that moment, Eva Green noticed me on the screen.
Herbert grinned and reached out his hand to pull me into his arms. At that moment, I forgot to resist, still in shock.
“This is Bella, the one I mentioned to you. My love.”
Herbert placed his hand naturally on my shoulder.
When the person on the screen heard this, she immediately smiled and said, “Is this Bella?”
“Hello, Bella. Herbert always praises you in front of me. I’m so glad to finally see you. You’re very beautiful.”
“Thank you,” I replied politely, though my heart was a little excited.
It turned out that everything was a misunderstanding. In reality, he and she were just acting. To think that I had been upset for so long… I felt so foolish.
“Sella, I’m currently on vacation in Switzerland. It’s a bit inconvenient for me to talk right now. I’ll treat you to a meal when I get back. Bye-bye!”
Let your imagination soar with gαℓησν𝒆𝓁s．çο𝗺
At that moment, Eva Green waved her hand at us.
“Bye-bye.”
I waved back as well.
The next moment, the call disconnected.
For a moment, I felt a little embarrassed. I had misunderstood him.
Bella’s POV:
Herbert stroked my shoulder and said, “Can this prove that I’m not lying?”
I looked at him and asked, “Why didn’t you tell me that something happened to your father? Why did you hide it from me?”
Although there was no ambiguous relationship between him and Eva Green, I was still deeply saddened. Every time he was in trouble, he kept it from me. He never told me.
Herbert frowned as he listened to my words. His fingers gently ran through my hair as he replied, “What happened to my father this time was too complicated. The other party wanted to destroy our family. If my father couldn’t clear his name, my mother and I would also be implicated. That’s why I didn’t go through the wedding formalities with you right away. I wanted to protect you and the children. No matter what happens to the Wharton family, it won’t affect you or our kids.”
I could see the love he had for me in his eyes, but I didn’t agree with what he said.
“So, you didn’t mention the wedding because you were afraid of getting me into trouble?” I asked, still feeling conflicted.
Herbert took my hand and apologized.
“It’s all my fault. I’m sorry.”
At that moment, I was a little emotional. I pushed his hand away and turned my back to him.
“Herbert, you do this every time. You say you don’t want to get me into trouble, but two people who love each other should stand together no matter what. We should share the good things and face the challenges together. That’s what real love is.”
