Chapter 946:
I couldn’t help but sigh internally. To welcome him, I’d taken a long shower, spent more than half an hour getting ready, and deliberately wore a sexy lace nightdress. But it seemed all for nothing.
At that moment, Herbert reached out to pinch my chin, gently lifting my face.
“I haven’t seen this nightdress before.”
“Last time, you asked someone from the mall to send it to me. I picked this one and put it on. Do you think it looks good?”
I looked at him, smiling.
There was a flash of heat in Herbert’s eyes.
“The nightdress is beautiful.”
“You…”
“You look even better!”
Herbert hugged me tightly.
Hearing this, I pursed my lips and smiled. I stretched my arms, hooked them around his neck, raised my chin, and said, “That’s more like it!”
Herbert lowered his head and sniffed my soft neck. Then, the hot air from his breath sprayed on my ear.
“This shower gel smells so good.”
“That’s my body fragrance, okay?”
I corrected him with a smile.
“What are you doing?”
He raised his hand, answering seriously, “I’m smelling your body scent.”
“You’re so annoying!”
I reached out and tried to push him away, but then I just relaxed in his arms, looking at the moonlight outside the window, while we chatted.
“Herbert, I have something to tell you…”
I thought about it for a long time, but I still decided to tell him that Klein had given me a necklace.
Although I knew that he might dislike it, I still felt it was necessary to tell him. If I didn’t and he found out about it later, it could cause discord between us.
“That’s what happened. Klein and I are no longer in love. The necklace he gave me is just for blessing. I don’t want you to misunderstand. If you have any other concerns, you can always communicate with me.”
I continued, “We’re getting married, and I don’t want there to be any conflicts between us.”
Based on my understanding of Herbert, I thought he might ask me to return the necklace or express his emotions. But none of that happened.
Herbert simply held me tightly in his arms.
“Bella, thank you for your trust in me. You’re willing to communicate with me, and you took the initiative to tell me these things.”
“To be honest, I do mind. After all, that necklace was a symbol of your marriage with him in the past. I love you, so I do mind. But because I love you, I can let it go. I am willing to trust you. In the past, we always had conflicts because of misunderstandings.”
