Chapter 408


    Be‘s POV:


    Herbert‘s words deeply hurt my self–esteem. I roared at him, “Herbert, no matter how rich and powerful


    you are, I can choose not to do business with you!”


    I didn‘t expect him to say such hurtful words. What did he think I was? A prostitute? Did he think! could


    sell anything for business?


    “Right. You can choose not to do the business I gave you.” At this moment, there was only


    disappointment in Herbert‘s eyes.


    He took a deep look at me, who was staring at him with an imposing manner. Then he shook his head


    and said, “No wonder you refused my business. It turns out that you just want to go out and try your own


    ability. Let‘s see if you can pull another man‘s business with your appearance and skills!”


    After that, Herbert turned around, walked out, and mmed the door hard.


    Looking at the closed door, I couldn‘t help but cover my mouth and cry.


    I looked up at the ceiling and covered my mouth with my hands, trying not to cry.


    I had had enough. I really didn‘t want to live like this anymore. It seemed that no matter how much I


    didn‘t want to part with this home, I had to give it up.


    Early the next morning, when I went downstairs, Herbert had already gone to work.


    I called Joey and told her that I would go to thepany a littleter this evening. I wanted to


    apany Lucas and Lucky for breakfast, and then I would personally send Lucas to the kindergarten If


    I left here, I could take Lucky away, but I couldn‘t take Lucas away. Lucas had been raised by him, and


    he seemed to have the deepest feelings for him. Although I didn‘t want to leave Lucas, I couldn‘t be so


    selfish.


    Lucas was currently in need of all kinds of learning resources. With my current ie, I could hardly


    afford his expenditure.


    If I left this ce, although I could still see Lucas, I wouldn‘t get along with him day and night like! did


    now, so I had to spend more time with him in thest few days.”


    After feeding Lucky, I looked at Lucas, who was still eating with his head down, and said with a smile,


    “Eat quickly. Mommy will take you to kindergartenter.”


    Hearing this, Lucas was very happy, but he asked in confusion, “Mommy, don‘t you have to go to work


    today? Why didn‘t you ask Miranda to send me to kindergarten?”


    1 hesitated for a moment before I replied with a smile, “Mommy is not busy today, so I want to see you


    off in person.”


    That‘s great. I like Mommy taking me to kindergarten.” After that, Lucas lowered his head and took a big


    bite of breakfast.


    “Eat slowly. Don‘t choke.” I quickly told him, Lucas, who had full of food in his mouth, looked up and said,


    “I‘ll eat quickly. I don‘t want Mommy to bete for work”

    Hearing this, I felt very warm in my heart. I felt that Lucas was really well behaved and sensible, but I

    was notpetent enough.


    Maybe I couldn‘t spend his childhood with him every day, so my heart was full of sadness


    Soon, Lucas was full. I carried his schoolbag and kissed Lucky‘s little face. Then I took Lucas‘s hand and


    walked out of the door


    As soon as I stepped out of the gate of the vi, I saw that Connor was driving a ck Bentley in front of


    the gate.


    Seeing that Connor had gotten out of the car, i frowned and asked, “Connor, why are you here?”


    I looked up and saw that there should be no one else in the Bentley, and Herbert was not in the car.


    Connor hurriedly replied, “Mr. Herbert lelta document at home, asking me toe back and take


    “I see.” I nodded.


    Just as I was about to leave with Lucas, I suddenly stopped in my tracks. Tiurned around and called out


    to Connor, who was walking towards the vi “Connor”


    Hearing the voice, Connor stopped He turned around and looked at me, who was walking over “Miss


    Stepanek, are you calling me?


    I walked in front of him, hesitated for a moment, and then said, “Connor, I have something to ask you.


    Thope you can tell me the truth.”


    Hearing these words, Connor lowered his head and thought for a moment. Only then did he raise his


    head and say, “You want to ask me who was the girl who had dinner with Mr. Wharton that day, right?”


    I couldn‘t help butugh “Connor, you‘re too smart. You know what ‘in thinking.”


    Since I had decided to leave, I also wanted to know who that girl was. Did Herbert really love her?


    Once I figured everything out, I wouldpletely lose hope and make the decision to leave. I would


    completely leave Herbert and start my new life


    My heart ached at the thought of it.


    After all, I still loved Herbert


    No matter how much I loved Herbert, as long as he was with other women, I would neverpromise.


    I must restrain my emotions and think more rationally.


    Afterwards, Connor hesitated for a moment, and then replied, “That girl‘s name is Eva Green. Her father


    and the father of Mr. Wharton are colleagues, and her ancestors have very strong backgrounds.”


    Hearing this, the corner of my mouth twitched.


    Sure enough, it was about the family background. This Eva Green was indeed a very beautiful and


    powerful socialite.


    The family was even richer than the family of Herbert, and it would be of great help to his career in the


    future.


    As for me, what kind of help could I bring to Herbert? Not only would I not help him in his career, but I


    would also lower his strength. Even a fool would not choose a woman from a civilian family like myself.


    Thinking of this, I sneered and said, “I see. I see. Thank you for telling me.” Just then, Connor hurriedly


    stepped forward to block my path.


    “Miss Stepanek, this isn‘t what you think. Mr. Wharton isn‘t that kind of person!” Connor nervously


    exined.


    “What kind of person is he?‘ I looked up at Connor and asked.


    Now, everything was clear. Herbert wasn‘t that kind of person? Wasn‘t he that kind of person who would


    provoke other girls?


    I was very disappointed in Herbert.


    Connor was momentarily at a loss for words. He didn‘t know how to reply.


    I sneered and said, “Connor, he must have been in contact with this Eva Green for a long time, right? Is


    he about to get married soon? When is he going to tell me everything? Or is he going to say that he


    wants to make a family in New York, and then continue to maintain an intimate rtionship with me in A


    City?”


    Connor frowned. “Miss Stepanek, you don‘t know the details. Don‘t misunderstand Mr. Wharton. You‘re


    the only person in his heart. He has his own difficulties!”


    Connor exined in an extremely anxious manner, but I didn‘t believe his words at all. “Connor, don‘t


    speak up for him anymore. As for what exactly happened, I am quite clear in my heart.”


    Connor grew even more frantic. “Miss Stepanek, there are many things you don‘t know about. You have


    to endure for a bit longer. Mr. Wharton will give you a satisfactory exnation.” Connor was worried that


    he would be med by Herbert, so he wanted to persuade me. So I wouldn‘t take his words seriously.


    “Well, I won‘t tell Herbert that you told me about him and that Eva Green. I won‘t pursue this matter,


    because I know it very well. Don‘t worry.” After that, I took Lucas‘s hand and left.
