Chapter 70


    Be‘s POV: I didn‘t even look at Herbert during the whole examination. When the doctor finished saying


    that I was two kilograms heavier, I heard Herbert say, “Thank you very much. Miranda, send the doctor


    off.” The doctor and nurse began to walk out with the equipment, and Miranda followed them. Gradually,


    there were only the both of us in the room. I remained silent, and he didn‘t say anything. After a while, I


    could clearly feel that he was sitting beside me. Then I saw his hand reaching for my belly.


    At this time, my stomach was already slightly bulging. If it was in the past, I would be very happy. Maybe


    I could let him experience the fetal movement with me. But now, there was only disgust and annoyance


    in my heart.


    I pushed his hand away. “Don‘t touch me!” “Do you think I‘m interested in touching you? I just want to


    touch my child.” Herbert immediately retorted. Theld back my anger and calmly said to Herbert, “Herbert,


    since the person you love hase back, why don‘t you divorce me? Even if we are divorced, I will still


    give birth to the child. If you don‘t divorce me, you and the person you love can‘t get married. Are you


    willing to see the person you love suffer?” Be didn‘t understand why Herbert did this. Was it just


    because she had angered him that he had to maintain his dignity as a man? Or did she have to give birth


    to a child so that the child could have a normal identity? Herbert seemed to be even angrier. He roared at


    me, “Be, you‘re the most self–righteous woman I‘ve ever seen!” “Herbert, don‘t make personal attacks.


    I‘m seriously talking to you about what happened between us.” I said. “I have the final say in our affairs.


    You don‘t have the right to talk to me about it!” After saying that, he turned around and walked out


    impatiently. I didn‘t know when he woulde back next time, so I wanted to make things clear with him.


    I jumped out of bed barefoot and stepped forward to block his way. “What do you want?” Herbert


    frowned and stared at me. I thought for a moment and said, “I want a divorce!” Herbert asked, “Why are


    you in such a hurry to divorce me? Are you going to find Hank?” “That‘s my own business.” He was still


    suspicious of me and Hank? I didn‘t want to exin. He was even angrier. He reached out to grab my


    arm and said angrily, “You‘re still pregnant with my child, and you can‘t wait to find another man?”

    “You say I‘m unreasonable, but in fact, you‘re unreasonable. You always rte everything to this.” said


    angrily. “I‘m unreasonable. I‘m telling you, don‘t get close to any man when you‘re pregnant with my


    child!” With that, he shook off my hand and left angrily. “Herbert...” I called him from behind. It seemed


    that he didn‘t hear it at all, nor did he intend to stop. Soon, he disappeared. The car soon disappeared in


    the garden. Herbert‘s POV: In fact, I really wanted to stay there and apany Be and our child.


    Be‘s stomach was already very obvious. I heard the doctor say that the child at this time could already


    hear the sound of the outside world and would have fetal movements. If I put my hand on Be‘s belly, I


    would be able to clearly sense the existence of that child. That was the child that belonged to Be and I.


    But Be‘s anger has not dissipated. As long as I stayed with her, she would mention divorce to me. I


    hated hearing words about divorce. I never thought of getting a divorce with her. But recently, Be


    always mentioned it. It was clear that we were in a good state before this. I had analyzed the reason.


    First of all, my guess was because Caroline was back. Be really cared about her existence.


    But every time I tried to exin this matter, Be showed a very resistant mood. I didn‘t mention it again,


    because I was worried that her mood would be more intense. But what made me most angry was that


    Hank. I didn‘t expect that Be would go to see Hank when I was not at home.


    She even quarreled with me and wanted to divorce me for Hank?


    At the thought of the man named Hank, I couldn‘t help feeling angry. Divorce? This was something that


    absolutely could not happen. In order not to let Be continue to look for Hank, I kept her on the


    mountain.


    To avoid divorce being mentioned again, and to prevent me from affecting Be‘s mood, I tried my best


    not to meet her.


    Meeting her once a month was what I looked forward to the most and also what I was most worried


    about


    That woman could always easily provoke my anger. At this moment, I was smoking in the back seat of


    the car. The window was half–opened, and the air in the car was still a little choking. But at this moment,


    I couldn‘t care so much. I was very lonely and depressed. “Connor” I called out the name of my assistant.


    “Mr. Wharton, are you alright? I‘ve never seen you like this before.” Connor said. After a while, I said,


    “Why is there such a woman? No matter how good I am to her, she seems to be

    18:48 unable to perceive it. Why is she always full of aggressiveness against me?” “Are you talking


    about Mrs. Wharton?” Connor asked. At this time, I suddenlyughed at myself. “How can I tell you this?


    You are neither married nor in love. You are not as experienced as me.” Hearing this, Connor held the


    steering wheel and said with a smile, “It‘s precisely because I think women are troublesome that I‘m not


    in a rtionship.” “That‘s because you haven‘t met a woman who can tempt you.” I looked out of the


    window at the dark mountains and whispered. “Mr. Wharton, right now, you are a bit...” Connor stopped


    halfway through his words. “What‘s wrong?” I asked casually. “You‘re a bit worried about your


    rtionship.” Connor said.


    All these years, Connor had been my assistant. In addition to the rtionship between boss and


    subordinate, we had a good private rtionship. When there was no one else, we would talk like friends.


    Connor clearly knew what he should say. This was one of the reasons why he could be my most


    trustworthy assistant.


    That was why when Connor had just said those words, I wasn‘t angry. “You dare tough at me?” I


    couldn‘t helpughing. “I don‘t dare, I don‘t dare.” Connor hurriedly waved his hand. After a round of


    teasing, I felt much better.


    Ring, ring... At this moment, my phone suddenly rang in the car. I took out my phone and looked down at


    the shing number on the screen. I frowned slightly, but still answered the phone.


    “Hello?” “Herbert, didn‘t you say that you woulde to see me tonight? It‘s almost 10 o‘clock now. Why


    haven‘t youe yet?” It was Caroline‘s gentle voice. T hesitated and said, “I‘m sorry, Caroline. I have


    something to do tonight, so I can‘t go to see you.” “What‘s the matter? Is it a business or a private affair?”


    Caroline asked tentatively. When I heard her question, I was a little impatient.


    After all, we were just ordinary friends now, not couples. I didn‘t have to tell her my specific schedule at


    all.


    At this moment, I was a little impatient. “I have something to deal with. I will visit you another day. I am


    very busy these two days. If you need anything, you can call my secretary Allie. She will help you.”


    “But...”


    I knew what else she wanted to say, but I didn‘t wait for her to continue. Instead, I said, “Goodbye.” Then


    I hung up the phone. Caroline

    Icouldn‘t help but think of Be‘s question. She seemed to have thought that the person I liked was


    Caroline. Perhaps I should find a chance to exin it to her? Icould assure her that Caroline and I don‘t


    have any rtionship. What about Hank and her?


    The more I thought about it, the more annoyed I became.
