Chapter 56


    Be’s POV


    Herbert’s expression was calm, and it was impossible to tell that there had been an intense argument


    just now.


    “These painting look very good.” In order to ease the embarrassment, I pointed to the painting in the


    room and said.


    Herbert pursed his lips and said, “These are all the authentic works of Picasso, Vincent van Gogh and


    M.”


    Hearing this, I quickly stuck out my tongue. I knew that I was ignorant, so I asked, “Are the works of


    these artists very expensive?


    “I don’t have the most expensive ones here. The most expensive ones are in my dad’s safe. He doesn’t


    allow me to see them.” Herbert replied.


    Oh my god, these were not the most expensive ones! I knew that Herbert’s family was rich, but I didn’t


    expect them to be so rich. Any random item in the family was very expensive. No wonder when


    McKenna saw the woman beside Herbert, she thought that she was going to take their property “Are you


    hungry? Let’s go eat.” said Herbert.


    “Okay!” | nodded.


    When I was leaving. my eyes were fixed on those paintings. This was Vincent van Gogh and Picasso!


    They spent a lot of money to buy it!


    Herbert’sughter rang in her ears. “If you like it, I’ll give you two.”


    “Don’t! I’m afraid that the police will think that I stole it. In addition, I’m also afraid that I’ll be robbed. By


    my side, this item is nothing more than a time bomb, so it’s safer to keep it in your house.” suddenly


    remembered that just now, there had been a soldier sentry ten meters away from this manor. Most likely,


    he was there to protect the entire house.


    After all, their family was abination of high officials and rich people.


    Ten minutester, I followed Herbert to the restaurant.


    There were more than a dozen exquisite dishes on the table, as well as all kinds of pastry and desserts.


    The tableware was made of the best materials.


    It gave people a feeling of entering the pce.


    *Our chef is best at French cuisine. Try it. It tastes good.” Herbert picked up the knife and fork.


    At this moment, I looked up at the opposite position of Herbert.


    Before I could speak, Herbert understood what I meant. He said, “My mother has a temporary gathering


    with her friends, so she’s not eating at home. We’ll be the only ones here in the afternoon.”


    Hearing this, I suddenly felt much more rxed, so I immediately picked up the knife and fork and began


    to eat


    Herbert said, “I didn’t expect that you weren’t very afraid of my mother.’


    I red at him and said, ‘She’s not a monster. Why should I be afraid of her? She’s your mother still have


    to endure her”


    Herbert pursed his lips, “No one has ever dared to say those words to my mother”


    “No one was born to be insulted, and the usations she gave to me was too serious. I wouldn’t dare to


    ept it” | curled my lips and said


    Herbert nced at me and said, “Then what did she use you of?”


    “She said that I had nned and schemed. She said that I married you because I was obsessed with


    your money.” I said. “So you mean you’re not obsessed with my money?” Said Herbert


    “Of course not ” I answered instinctively.

    “So you’re obsessed with me?” Herbert suddenly asked.


    His words seemed to poke the secret in my heart.


    A confession was not suitable in our rtionship.


    I didn’t want to show my true feelings directly, so I said, “Compared to you, your money is more


    attractive” I married him just to give our child a legal identity, and he asked me to sign a contract between


    us. Since we were fake husband and wife, there was no need to get our rtionship entangled. My heart


    suddenly beat faster, and I didn’t dare to continue to look at Herbert I turned my head and took a deep


    breath, telling myself that I had to calm down.


    Herbert seemed to be stunned. About two minutester, he said, “After dinner, we’ll leave here.”


    “So fast?” I asked in surprise. I thought we would stay here for a day or two. After all, he would only


    come back once every few months.


    “You don’t want to leave. Do you want to stay here for two more days?” Herbert’s face returned to its


    usual coldness, but his tone was a little gentler


    “No I’m not suitable here.” I looked at the pce-like vi and felt that it was too dignified and noble. I


    couldn’t sleep here at night.


    The next moment Herbert ordered Connor to prepare a car. Half an hourter, we took the car and


    left.


    About half an hourter, the car suddenly turned into a seemingly high-end resort.


    I was confused. “Aren’t we going home?” Herbert nced at me and said, “Since we havee out,


    let’s stay here for a night. We can take it as a trip to rx.”


    A trip to rx?


    What a good suggestion.


    I turned to appreciate the scenery in the resort outside the window


    Maybe because I was pregnant, I always felt sleepy, so I went back to the hotel andid directly on


    the bed


    Herbert’s POV


    Be was much braver than I had imagined


    In my memory, except for my father and no one has ever refuted my mother like Be I was ready to


    stand out andfort Be at any time, but she didn’t seem to be depressed at all


    And at the moment when my words were very excessive, she would restrain her temper for me, which


    made me surprised and happy


    But when she was having lunch, she said that I was not as attractive as my money.


    I felt a little concerned with such a simple sentence. Although I knew Be was joking But I actually cared


    about this sentence! What was i looking forward to? Was I looking forward to her saying, “Yes, Herbert, I


    just like you!” Oh, I wasn’t my old self anymore. Why? Was it because of men’s strange


    competitiveness? Such emotions were temporary. I soon restrained my emotions But Be was not


    comfortable in that house, so I proposed to leave my parents’ home and we went to a beautiful resort


    In fact, as I thought, Be went to the room to rest after arriving at the resort


    The afternoon sun was very warm. Be was sleeping in the bedroom, and I was working on the


    computer in the study Be didn’t sleep well, so I tried to keep my voice down. My special assistant,


    Connor, came to report to me, “Mr. Wharton, Mr. Ramsay of the resort heard that you and Mrs. Wharton


    were staying here, so he wanted to hold a banquet to entertain both of you tonight


    I hesitated and replied, “Tell him that my wife’s pregnancy reaction is very strong and it’s not convenient


    for her to attend the banquet Please thank him for me.”


    “Ainght Mr Wharton, you‘re too kind to Mrs. Wharton. This resort had offended you in business in the


    past. This time, in order for Mrs Wharton to have a good rest, you didn’t have to argue with them Mr


    Ramsay would be very grateful for your forgiveness.”


    Those things have been going on for too long I don’t mind it a long time ago,” I said. *However, you hate


    people like Mr Ramsay, who never keeps their promise the most Connor said


    nced at Connor, indicating for him not to continue


    I looked at the bedroom door and remembered Be said that I was not as attractive as my money


    Thinking back several times, I couldn’t helpughing


    How could I be so childish? How could I care about such a simple sentence?
