Chapter 281
Bella‘s POV: Joey took out eight cosmetic bottles and said with an excited smile, “These are all very
good skincare products. After I got my salary yesterday, I bought all the things I want!” Although I
hadn‘t used any particularly expensive skincare products, I know these brands. They were not cheap.
“How much are these?” I looked at the bottles and asked.
Joey suddenly stretched out five fingers. “500 dollars?” I widened my eyes. “These are not considered
high–end products. A single bottle of the high–end product is worth this price.” Joey hurriedly said.
Joey continued, “I want to be in a relationship and get married. I plan to take good care of my face first.
If I see the man I like, I will rush to him.” Joey looked at me as she spoke. “Sometimes I really envy
you. Even though you have two children now, there are still several outstanding men who like you. I
really don‘t understand. In fact, I‘m not worse than you. Why can‘t I meet my true love?” When she said
this, Joey stood up, lowered her head to look at her butt and waist, and then touched her face. She
was quite annoyed. I couldn‘t help laughing and patted her on the shoulder. “You will definitely meet
him.” “When? When I‘m 50 years old?” Joey turned around and went to the bathroom, covering her
face.

Sometimes, I also felt that my relationship with Joey was more intimate than that of sisters. But at the
thought of my younger sister...
I wondered if Hank had really resigned from the school. Betty would definitely not divorce, but Hank
was very determined. No matter what happened between them, I didn‘t care.
I cared about mom the most.
Mom would definitely be very worried when she saw Betty and Hank quarreling. But I couldn‘t help. I
could only live my own life first.
Two months had passed quickly.
The weather in late spring was getting warmer and warmer.
At noon this day, Lucky couldn‘t sleep. No matter how I coaxed her, she just didn‘t want to sleep. I was
a little anxious.
Because I hadn‘t packed up the dozens of goods that the customers were waiting for. I was waiting for
the time to pack them up when Lucky took her nap in the afternoon. Who knew that the little fellow
wouldn‘t sleep today.
“Go to sleep!” I finally pressed her against the pillow, not allowing her to move. “Sob; sob...” She was
only one year old, so she would definitely not accept such a hard approach, so she cried sadly.
I really wanted to give her a good beating, but that was my daughter.
I couldn‘t really hit her.
Lucky was crying she she wanted me to hold her. My phone kept ringing. It was the clients who urged
me to deliver the goods. I hadn‘t slept well the night before. I was very tired now.
At this moment, I felt helpless and devastated.
How could I live like this? 1 was always very anxious.
After I tried my best to calm myself down, I reached out to hold Lucky in my arms. Just as I was about
to coax her, my phone rang again.
But this time, it wasn‘t a customer, it was Herbert.
Only then did I remember that I hadn‘t seen Lucas for two weeks.
Ever since I moved here, Lucas had been here several times. But it was too crowded here, and Lucas
was a naughty boy, so he would usually make things more chaotic here. I was afraid that it would affect
Joey, so I tried not to let Lucas come here often. But I missed him very much, so I had made up my
mind to work hard for two years so that I could buy a small house in the future, and
then Lucas could come to visit me often. While Lucky was crying, I answered the phone.

“Why is Lucky crying?” This was Herbert‘s voice.
It seemed that Herbert was very anxious. I replied, “She didn‘t want to sleep and I shouted at her.”
I didn‘t know why I said it out loud.
Maybe it was because of the bitterness just now that I was eager to express myself? But I actually
wanted to talk to Herbert.
I think I had gone crazy. “She‘s just a child. Why did you yell at her?” Herbert complained. Hearing this,
I couldn‘t help saying, “Do you know how tiring it is to take care of a child? Why don‘t you take care of
her then?“|
“Lucas misses you and Lucky, so I sent him here. I miss Lucky too. Can I go up and see her now?”
said Herbert.
This was the rule I set for Herbert in the past few months. Only with my permission could he come and
have a look at Lucky.
In order not to piss me off, he had always been obedient. At this time, I was really too anxious.
And over the past few months, Herbert respected me very much,
That was why I agreed to let him come up and see Lucky.
“All right, come on up,” I said with a frown. Soon, the doorbell rang.
