Chapter 58
Be’s POV Time passed very quickly. Soon, I was three months pregnant. There was almost no strong
pregnancy reaction. I ate a lot during the meal as I was easily hungry. As a result, I became heavier and
looked plumper. That night, Miranda put down her phone walked to me, and said, “Mrs. Wharton, Mr.
Wharton said that he has something to deal with tonight and won’t be back for dinner.” I couldn’t help
frowning. In the past half month, he was very busy. He hardly came back for dinner at night, and it was
almost early in the morning when he came back everyday. I vaguely felt that something was wrong, but I
couldn’t tell what exactly was wrong.
I didn’t eat much for dinner. I didn’t even finish a piece of steak.
In the bedroom, I watched a TV series while sitting in bed all night. It was almost midnight when he finally
came back.
He asked, “It’s sote, why aren’t you sleeping yet?” His tone was a little strange. After all, I usually fell
asleep at this time.
There was only the wallmp and the faint light of TV in the bedroom. I saw that he seemed a little drunk,
his hair was a uttle messy, and the cor of his shirt was slightly open. I was afraid that he had drank, so
I got out of bed and poured him a ss of water. “I can’t sleep, so I watched a TV series.” Herbert took
the cup, but he did not drink it. Instead, he turned around and put it on the cab
We didn’t continue to talk and fell into silence.
I felt that he seemed to be deliberately distancing himself from me.
But I couldn’t find any reason for him to distance himself from me. We didn’t have any conflict. This
period of time was very harmonious.
Was it because I was too sensitive?
I restrained my emotions and said with a smile, “Have you been busy with your work recently?”
“A little.” Herbert answered as he took off his clothes. I took the clothes from him and hung them in my
wardrobe. “Why are you back sote recently?” || asked again. “Oh, there’s a ssmate who came back
from abroad, so there have been a few reunion parties recently Herbert replied.
I didn’t continue to talk with him because I didn’t know his ssmates and friends at all.
“I’m going to take a shower.” Herbert took his pajamas and went to the bathroom.
Looking at the door of the bathroom, I felt a little lonely. I wanted tough at myself. After returning from
his parents’ home, I thought we were very close and we got along well.
in fact, we were still very far away I didn’t know anything about his past, and he has never introduced me
to his friends and ssmates
Did I really think I was his wife?
I told myself that I married him because of the baby in my belly
At this moment, I felt a little cold all over iid down on the bed and got into the warm quilt I turned off the
TV, and the wallmp in the room looked very dim
Hall an hourter, I heard the subtle footsteps of Herbert approaching the bed
He got on the bed and turned off the wallmp It was dark in the room
Although we were using the same quilt, but we didn’t have any physical contact
I suddenly remembered that I had never touched his body in the past few days This discovery made me
suck in a breath of cold air Because it was very abnormal, we used to hug each other and sleep together
“I’m going on a business trip tomorrow.” He suddenly said
He knew that I was not asleep, so there was no need for me to continue pretending I then asked. “Where
are you going?
“Europe.” Herbert replied
I was stunned. Did thepany have a business in Europe as well? I had worked in the Wharton Group
for a few years, but I had never heard of it. Could it be that this business trip was because of his personal
affairs?
I knew that he didn’t want to talk about it in detail, so I didn’t ask more and just asked, “How long will it
take?
“A week.” Herbert thought for a moment and answered
“Then I’ll pack your luggage.” I got up as I spoke
“No need!” Herbert immediately stopped me.
I turned my head and looked at Herbert in the dark as i frowned
Til just bring a few simple clothes with me. I’ll ask Miranda to pack them up for me tomorrow. It’s very
late. You can rest.” said Herbert
It was already one o’clock in the morning, and packing would indeed affect our sleep, so I did not
continue to refute Then there was no sound from the person behind me A few minutester, his regr
breathing could be heard
I knew he was asleep, but I couldn’t fall asleep at all
When it was a sunrise, I fell asleep in a daze
When I opened my eyes again, the dazzling sunlight was shining on me I blinked my eyes
Later, I nced at the clock on the wall, and it was already 10 o‘clock!
I turned my head and saw that Herbert had already gotten up
I put on a night robe and went straight downstairs
There was no sign of Herbert on the first floor I walked to the kitchen door and saw that Miranda was
cooking soup “Miranda, has he left?”
Miranda turned around and said in surprise, “Mr. Wharton left at eight o’clock. His flight is at 9:30 am
Now it’s half an hour since the ne took off! My heart was filled with disappointment. “Why did I wake
up sote?”
Miranda hurriedly said, ‘Mrs. Wharton, don’t worry. I‘ve already put all of the clothes that Mr. Connor
needed to bring into the luggage. He still didn’t allow me to pack too much. He said that he can buy
everything over there and that even if Connores along, he will definitely take good care of him.” I
didn’t retort but continued, “You’re right.” In the evening, I roughly calcted the time. At this time,
Herbert should have gotten off the ne, so I sent him a message. “Have you arrived?” “I havended
safely.
This was a WeChat message from Herbert. There was no emotion in it, and there was no subjective
word. I was very disappointed, so I did not reply. For three days in a row, he didn’t take the initiative to
contact me again. Although I was curious about his situation over there, I knew that he was definitely
safe, so I endured it and didn’t contact him. On the morning of the fourth day, I received a strange call.
“Excuse me, is it Be?” The person on the other end of the phone was a woman with a sweet voice.C0ntent ? 2024 (N/?)velDrama.Org.
“Yes, who are you?” I thought it was an advertisement call, so my tone was more casual. However, she
threw a bomb at me. “Miss Stepanek, my name is Caroline Ewell, and I’m Herbert’s ex girlfriend.”
