Chapter 64
Bella‘s POV: The call was from Hank. “Bella, our department has a criteria for students who wish to transfer major this year. Your sister is very good at studying in the former department. It shouldn‘t be a problem to transfer her major this time. I have a transfer form here. Where are you now? I‘ll send it to you.” Hank said. Hearing this, I was very happy. It seemed that Betty could really go to the department of accounting in the NF University “No, no, I‘ll just go and get it. Don‘t delay your classes.” I said quickly. “Okay, I‘ll wait for you in the office.” Hank hung up the phone. I quickly went upstairs to change clothes. Hank usually attended classes at nine o’clock. It was eight o‘clock now. It would take me about half an hour to get to the university. It just happened that I would not delay his class. Ten minutes later, I picked up my bag and walked out of the door after I informed Miranda. I called a taxi at the door and went to the NF University. The matter was handled smoothly. I took the application form from Hank‘s office and went to my mother‘s house to pick up Betty.
Betty and I went to deal with the transfer application together. I had lunch with Betty at noon, and then I sent Betty back. When I took a taxi home, it was already afternoon.
If it was in the past, this kind of thing would not be a big deal. But now I was a pregnant woman, and my physical strength was not at the same level as before. Betty was finally transferred to her ideal major. Although I was very tired, I was very happy. In the afternoon, I returned to Herbert‘s residence. When I got home, I changed to my slippers and walked into the living room while massaging my shoulders. But when I looked up, I saw a person sitting on the sofa. I was shocked! Why was he at home at this time?
His expression and sitting posture were both serious. Was he waiting for me?”
When he looked at me, his eyes were as cold as ice. “Where have you been?” Herbert‘s voice was very cold. It was so strange. What was wrong with him? Was it because of what happened last night? “I went to my mother‘s house.” I said and then turned to sit on another sofa. I was telling the truth. I went to more
than one place today and met a lot of people, but I went out mainly to help Betty change her major. Betty was now living with my mom. I think there was nothing wrong with me going to her house.

18:420 I looked very calm on the surface, but I was very nervous in my heart. Did he suddenly come back because he was ready to talk about the divorce with me? It was faster than I expected, but it didn‘t matter. We would eventually reach this day. Was he so eager to come back because he wanted to divorce me as soon as possible? Because only after we divorced could he be with Caroline? The more I thought about it, the more upset I felt. However, it was obvious that he was entangled with his ex– girlfriend. Why was he looking at me with such a terrible look now?
It seemed that I was the one who did something wrong?
I was very upset. But I didn‘t expect that in the next second, he directly grabbed a vase and smashed it on the ground.
He looked very angry. “Are you going to continue to lie?” With a loud bang, the vase broke on the floor, and the porcelain fragments fell under my feet. Frightened, I instinctively reached out to touch my stomach and my heart began to beat faster. “I‘m not lying.” I tried my best to remain calm. Herbert suddenly stood up and came to me. The next moment, my wrist was grabbed by something like a pair of pliers! “You want to continue arguing? You went to the NF University today!” Herbert frowned. “Were you following me, or did you send someone to follow me?” I questioned angrily. “Is there any difference?” Herbert remained indifferent. “So what if I went to the NF University? Don‘t tell me I don‘t have my own freedom?” I wanted to shake off his hand, but his hand was like an iron plier, and I couldn‘t get rid of it even with all my strength. “What did you do at the university? You were there to find Hank. Am I right?” The veins on Herbert‘s forehead stood out, and his voice became louder and louder. Was he so angry because I went to find Hank?
What about him?
He went to see Caroline behind my back! When he went to Europe for her, wasn‘t the person in his heart Caroline?
He already cared so much about Caroline. Why would he mind if I went to find another man?
Perhaps, it was their bad nature as rich men. Even if he didn‘t like it, he wouldn‘t allow others to touch his things. The angrier he was, the less I wanted to compromise. I was also enraged. I yelled at him, “Can‘t I have a male friend? At least I don‘t have any ambiguous relationship with Hank. I‘m not like you who cheated on me.” Herbert‘s eyes narrowed slightly. “How do you know about Caroline? What else do you know?” Was he nervous?
So if Caroline didn‘t come to me, was he going to keep it a secret from me?

I couldn‘t help sneering, “I know everything, so what? Herbert, don‘t treat me like a fool!” Although I exposed him, I was the only one who knew how bad I felt. At this time, Herbert loosened his grip on my wrist. I took the opportunity to push him away and pull out my wrist.
I looked down at my bruised wrist and felt very sad.
Herbert reached out and touched the hair on his forehead. He walked back and forth in the living room for a few times, and then his tone softened.
“Bella, actually, I‘ve been wanting to tell you about Caroline for a long time...” I interrupted him. “You don‘t have to explain. I don‘t want to hear it!”
What was there to explain? I didn‘t want him to tell me the truth, that he loved Caroline. I was afraid ! couldn‘t stand it.
Oh my god! How could I fall in love with Herbert?
This was the question I had been asking myself over the past few days.
I understood that many ordinary women fell in love with rich people to increase their social status
I despised this kind of dream the most, but why did I also have such a dream? Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
I wondered if he would like me too.
Now that I thought about it, I was really too naive. How could people from two completely different worlds like each other?
Just like a shrimp in the lake would never live with a shrimp in the sea!
Herbert tilted his head and asked, “Did you take revenge on me and went to find Hank because you knew about the matter between Caroline and I? You just want to embarrass me and take revenge on me, don‘t you?”
I didn‘t expect him to have such an idea. Although many women would do this to get revenge when they knew that their husband cheated on them, I was not those silly women. At this moment, Herbert was simply insulting me! I wanted to retort, but at this moment, my heart was filled with rage. I used an even more hurtful tone to say, “Mr. Wharton, I think you‘re too confident. I, Bella, wouldn‘t humiliate myself in order to get revenge. I went to find Hank because I felt that he was better than you!” This sentence directly ignited Herbert‘s anger, and it was even hotter than the fire just now. He grabbed my shoulder and questioned me in a fierce tone, “What did you say? Say it again!“
