Chapter 315
Be‘s POV:
Before I could react, Linda said with augh, “To be able to get Mr. Wharton‘s help, I think you must have
a very good rtionship with him?” Linda‘s eyes were obviously testing.
I didn‘t want Linda to know about the rtionship between me and Herbert. After all, it was my own
business. I shouldn‘t let it be involved in work.
So, the next moment, I shook my head and said, “Linda, I don‘t have any rtionship with Herbert for the
time being. Maybe he helped us for some other reason.” Linda said, “Oh, so that‘s how it is. Could it be
that you have a friend who knows Herbert?” At this moment, I thought, “He should help me for the sake
of his two young children, shouldn‘t he? Since I refused himst time, he hasn‘t appeared in front of me
for months.” “Maybe. Maybe my friend knew that it has been difficult for me to bring up my child alone
after I divorced,” I thought for a moment and said. Linda was shocked. “Have you ever been divorced?
And you have a child with you?” “Yes, that‘s why I work hard. You know, it‘s very difficult for a divorced
woman to bring up a child.” | didn‘t want to win Linda‘s sympathy, but I didn‘t want her to continue to
inquire about my personal affairs.
Later, Linda became even more enthusiastic about me. She also said that it was not easy for me to take
care of my child alone, so she wanted to let Jessica pay more attention to me. When there was a chance
for promotion next time, she would also pay attention to it for me. In short, she said a lot of good words
before letting me out. Out of Linda‘s office, I heard Linda‘s secretary making a phone call, but the content
of the conversation made me discover something new. “Excuse me, is it Connor? I‘m Linda‘s secretary.
I‘ve already helped Linda book the International Restaurant‘s revolving restaurant. Could you please tell
Mr. Wharton that at seven o‘clock tonight, Linda will wait at the entrance of the International Restaurant?”
As I walked forward, I heard the conversation. I couldn‘t help frowning and thinking, “The International
Restaurant‘s revolving restaurant is a very high–end and romantic ce. Not only is it expensive, but the
reservation has to be made at least one week in advance. Generally, only couples go there.” Linda had
booked a ce like this to treat Herbert to a meal. Her purpose was very clear. No wonder she kept
asking about the rtionship between me and Herbert. It turned out that she wanted to pursue him. At
first, I felt strange. Why did Linda like a proud and overbearing man like Herbert?
Butter, I understood.

Linda was such an excellent woman, and she was also a beautiful woman. She would certainly look
down on ordinary men.
Herbert, who was smart, handsome, and rich, would indeed attract many women‘s attention.
At this moment, the picture of Herbert and Linda standing together shed through my mind. They
looked good together. The handsome man and the beautiful woman were both sessful in their career.
It could be said that they were a perfect match.
They were already on a date. I was sure that they would have a good talk tonight and even something
else would happen. I knew very well that it was impossible for me and Herbert to be together, so it was
normal for him to be with any other woman.
I repeatedly told myself about this, but I couldn‘t help feeling a little depressed.
Yes, my heart was saying, “I don‘t want to see him with another woman.”
No matter how unhappy I was, I still decided to restrain myself. After work this day, i had to sort out the
materials, so I left a few minutester. I carried my bag and walked into the elevator. When the elevator
was about to close, a figure suddenly ran into the elevator.
I took a closer look and found that it was Selina. I couldn‘t help but frown.
that it was me in the elevator, Selina pressed the button to the first floor, sneered, and said, “I, I really
underestimated you. It‘s been so long, and those two men are still after you. I really don‘t know what
means you used to make them crazy for you!”
“What do you mean?” I questioned her.
They? Who were these two men? Herbert and Klein? Then, she said disdainfully, “Stop pretending. You
must have asked them to help you! One of them is the president of the Wharton Group. He is very
capable. The other is a famouswyer. He has a widework of connections. They are all very powerful
bosses. Be, what else can you do except relying on men? You have two very powerful men to help
you. I wouldn‘t dare to provoke you in the future!”
Ding!
At this time, the elevator reached the first floor and the door opened. Selina nced at me with sarcasm,
disdain, and dissatisfaction in her eyes. Then she turned around and left quickly with her bag. Selina‘s
words and stare made me angry. But I quickly suppressed it. After all, I couldn‘t find any words to refute.
This time, I did rely on those two men. I didn‘t expect that both Klein and Herbert would help me. I was
just an ordinary woman. I didn‘t have any stunning beauty. And I didn‘t have a very powerful ability. They
must have helped me out of their own considerations. Perhaps for Klein, it was out of guilt? And for
Herbert, it was because of the two children? After all, if I didn‘t live a good life, the children would also be
implicated.
I sent a message to Klein, thanking him for his help, but I also asked him not to interfere in my affairs in
the future.
As for Herbert, I picked up my cell phone and typed a message. After thinking for a while. I deleted the
text message.
I was too clear about Herbert‘s temperament. No matter what my opinion was, he would not respect it.
He would still do what he thought was good.
So no matter what I said, it was useless. Moreover, he must be on a romantic date with Linda tonight. I‘d
better not disturb them. I couldn‘t fall asleep that night. The next morning, I came to the office. I was very
happy to hear that Jeremy had asked for a week‘s leave.
Selina didn‘t give me any trouble. After Jeremy left, I could get along with my female colleagues
normally, so I had a much easier time this week. On Friday afternoon, after work, I took the things I
bought during the lunch break and rushed back home.
I hadn‘t seen Lucas for two weeks. I missed him very much. Tonight, I was going to make a big meal for
him and Lucky. Of course, for Joey, who had always supported me, as well. I was busy in the kitchen,
hoping that I could finish cleaning all the ingredients before Lucas and Lucky entered the kitchen.
The kitchen window was open, and I kept paying attention to the sound of cars driving into the
community downstairs.
Soon, at about seven o‘clock, a ck Bentley drove into themunity.
Herbert‘s car was really eye–catching, and it was very easy to recognize. So when I saw the caring
in, I rushed out of the house before I could take off the apron on my body.
My hair was tied to the back of my head with a rubber band. I was wearing a white floral home dress with
blue flowers and an apron that was filled with the pictures of Snoopy, and I was holding a spat in my
hand. It was really funny to rush downstairs like this. I missed Lucas very much. Lucas jumped out of the
car and hugged my thigh. He looked up and said excitedly, “Mommy, I missed you so much!” “Mommy
misses you too.” I reached out to touch my son‘s chubby little face and felt extremely happy
Then, Connor led Lucky, who was dressed like a little princess, to me.
“Mom, mom.” Lucky, who was one head shorter than Lucas, pulled my dress with her little hand. I
immediately bent down and picked her up. Then said with a smile, “Lucky, I‘ll cook a big meal for you
today. And Lucas, they are all your favorite dishes!” “Wow, wow.” Lucky could not express herself very
well yet, so she just pped her little hands. When Lucas heard this, he was excited at first, then he
suddenly frowned and said worriedly, “Mommy, can you ask daddy to have dinner with us?”
Hearing this, I frowned and said, “It‘s already sote, and your daddy can‘t make it.” In fact, I didn‘t want
to have dinner with Herbert, so I said that on purpose. However, in the next second, Lucas said in a low
voice, “Daddy is in the car!“
