Chapter 409
Bella‘s POV:
When I sat in the office, my mood was very complicated.
The scene of sending Lucas to kindergarten had made me feel a little excited.
After I left Herbert‘s house, I would have no chance to send Lucas to kindergarten anymore. So when I
parted ways with Lucas in kindergarten today, I had been holding Lucas‘s hand.
Lucas was very confused and asked what was wrong with me. I quickly let go of his hand. I said that he
was very cute today and I didn‘t want to let him go.
At that time, Lucas said I was stupid because the sun would soon set, and he would soon be out of
school. He also said that he would accompany me after he finished school.
My eyes were wet when I saw Lucas‘s small figure disappear in the kindergarten
I now understood why so many women were willing to guard a husband who didn‘t love them, a cold
family and a marriage without love, because they couldn‘t bear to part with their children and wanted to
give them a complete family.
In the past, I despised women like this the most. They could not be independent mentally and could
only be influenced by men. They also hoped that men would not divorce them and continue to maintain
a failed marriage.
“Now I can understand the hearts of those women. It‘s not that they don‘t want to divorce, but that they
can‘t bear to part with their children.”
Sometimes, the reality was cruel.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtKnock knock knock... I was sitting in front of my desk, lost in my thoughts when I suddenly heard a
knock on the door. Looking up, I saw Joey coming in with two cups of coffee. I quickly calmed down.
“Have a cup of coffee and calm your mind. Look at how ugly you look today!” Joey muttered and put a
cup of warm coffee in front of me.
“Thank you.” I thanked her and held the cup of coffee in my hand.
The coffee smelled very good, and the heat of the cup made my cold hands feel much better.
Joey sat opposite me with a cup of coffee in her hand. She teased, “Did you have a fight with Herbert
last night?”
Knowing that I couldn‘t hide the fact that I had a quarrel with Herbert, I nodded and said, “Yes, we did.”
But this time, Joey said seriously, “It‘s normal for couples to quarrel. Don‘t be angry for too long. You
need to communicate with each other.”
I lowered my head and thought, “This is not a problem that can be solved through communication He
already has another woman, and he still wants to continue to flirt with me.”
Maybe in a few days, we would cut off contact.
“Hey, are you listening to me?” Joey said loudly. “I‘m not deaf. Why can‘t I hear you?” I frowned.
09 591 Hearing this, Joey cupped her cheek and said, “Hey, I found that the look of jealousy on
Herbert‘s face was very interesting.”
“What are you talking about?” I asked.
Joey laughed and said, “Don‘t say that you don‘t feel anything at all. I saw that he was jealous of you
and other men last night. Didn‘t you see that his face was so ugly?”
No wonder he was so angry last night and said so many harmful words after he went back. Was he just
jealous?
But thinking about it, those words were too hurtful. Mr. Hall and I just met by chance, so we ate
together. Even if we didn‘t meet by chance, it didn‘t matter if I treated the client to a meal and sang a
song. Why did he have such a bad temper? Did he say so much to humiliate me?
“He disrespected me too much!” I said discontentedly.
Joey said, “Sometimes men‘s possessiveness is so crazy, and sometimes their behavior is really
wrong, but it also shows that he really cares about you.”
“You seem to know more about men. Have you ever had a serious relationship?” I teased with a smile,
intending to end this topic,
“Hey, no matter what, I‘m already 30 years old. I‘ve heard a lot. How could I not know? But you‘ve been
in love more than once. You‘re still like a newbie. Humph, I won‘t talk to you anymore and 1 won‘t make
coffee for you next time.” After complaining, Joey turned around and left angrily with a cup of coffee in
her hand,
Seeing Joey‘s back, I pursed my lips and smiled.
“Come to think of it, I‘ve been in love three times so far, haven‘t I? But I still can‘t tolerate any mistakes
when it comes to love. Is it because my requirements are too high, or is it because the men in this
world are too irresponsible?”
Ring... Ring...
At this moment, my cell phone suddenly rang.
I took the phone and saw that it was my mum calling. I was afraid that something might have
happened, so I quickly picked it up. “Mom, why did you call me at this time?” My mother knew that I
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmwas busy with work, so she would not call me during work hours. She would only call me when I was
off work.
As expected, my mother‘s worried voice came from the other end of the phone. “Bella, there‘s
something wrong with Betty these days. She shut herself in the room alone every day and doesn‘t go
out. She doesn‘t answer the phone.”
“And she always said that she doesn‘t want to live anymore. What do you think we should do?” Hearing
these words, I felt very distressed.
I knew Betty‘s divorce this time would definitely make her suffer a huge blow. Given her character, she
would definitely make a big fuss, but now it was surprisingly quiet, which seemed a little abnormal.
“Mom, does she miss Anne?” I asked.
“How can she not miss her? A few days ago, she went to Anne‘s grandma‘s house to see Anne, but
there was no one at home. She went there several times in a row, but no one was there. Now she
couldn‘t get in touch with Hank. I can see that she is in great pain. She has been holding Anne‘s

10000 photos these days. In the morning, she even lost her temper and smashed everything. I am
afraid that she might be out of her mind.” My mother‘s voice was full of tears as she spoke. Hearing
this, I thought for a moment and said, “Mom, get Betty ready. I‘ll be there right away. Let‘s take her to
see a doctor. Maybe the doctor can help her.”
I think Betty must be mentally ill, so I could only take her to see a psychologist. By the time I arrived at
Betty‘s house, my mother had already prepared everything for her. She pulled Betty out of the house.
Betty didn‘t react at all when she saw me, as if she hadn‘t seen me. In the taxi, I had been looking back
at Betty and found that her eyes were empty and she was in a daze. She had been holding a photo
frame in her hand, which was inlaid with Anne‘s photos.
