Bride of Mr.Billion (Bella and Herbert)
Chapter 381

Chapter 381

Bella's POV After Caroline finished speaking, she turned her eyes to Herbert's face, who was standing in front of the hospital bed.

At this moment, he was holding her hand, and a happy smile appeared on her face. "Herbert, I... I am... leaving, take... good care of yourself..." After saying this, Caroline could not speak. A string of tears flowed out of her eyes, and then she closed her eyes. "Caroline..." Herbert shouted in a low voice, but the person lying in the hospital bed could no longer hear him.

Herbert was very sad, and his hands were still tightly holding Caroline's hands. I knew that someone passing away just like this had an impact on anyone. What's more, they had once fallen in love with each other. Although Herbert hated her very much in the past, those things were not important now. I silently left the ward, wanting to leave some space for Herbert to adjust his mood.

A few minutes later, Herbert walked out of the ward with a sad face. At this time, Connor had already called the people who were in charge of the funeral. Several people went in and began to put on clothes and make up for her.

Herbert turned around and sat on the row of chairs in the corridor. Seeing his sad look, I felt very upset. I slowly sat beside him, reached out to hold his hand, and said, "She has left." Herbert nodded, then grabbed my hand tightly and said apologetically. "I'm sorry." Hearing this, I frowned. "What did you do wrong to me?" "I don't have any love for Caroline anymore. Now I'm just..." Herbert looked at me and explained. Before he could finish his words, I interrupted him. "You're just pitying her now, and you can't accept seeing a life that was supposed to be so fresh die in front of you, can you?" Hearing this, Herbert grinned and patted my hand. "Thank you for your understanding. You're a good wife."

"I'm not your wife yet. At most, I'm your children's mother," I teased.

Herbert didn't answer. Instead, he looked at the door of the ward and said, "I'm going to deal with Caroline's funeral these two days. I'm afraid I can't go home. Should I ask Connor to send you home?"

"I'll stay with you." I looked at him and said. However, Herbert shook his head and said, "You have to take care of the children. You don't have anything to do with Caroline's funeral. You don't have to participate in this matter." I lowered my head and nodded, thinking that I did not have the right to help with Caroline's funeral. Afterwards, I gave Herbert a few words of advice, and then left with Connor. Two days later, he came back. After returning home, he took a shower and slept for the whole day. Chapter 381

He walked over and hugged me from behind.

I felt my waist tighten. I didn't need to look to know it was him because his hug and hands were so familiar.

"You're awake?" I asked as I cooked the soup.

"Yes." Herbert nodded and then buried his head in my neck. I felt his warm arms and said, "Go wash your hands quickly. Let's eat.

"Where are the children?" Herbert looked up and asked.

"Miranda and Gary took them to the park," I replied.

"Doesn't that mean we are alone?" Herbert rolled his eyes. I put down the spoon in my hand, turned around, and warned him with a straight face, "You should rest today. I want to learn how to trade. Don't mess around. You can't even think about it!"

Seeing that I was so determined, the corners of Herbert's mouth twitched and he said seriously. "1 think you're thinking too much. I am exhausted after the past two days, okay? Even if you have the need, I can't satisfy you. Hey, could it be that you want to play hard to get? You clearly want it, but you said you don't want it right?" Hearing this, I was so angry that I reached out and hit him on the head. "Who do you think is playing hard to get? I'll beat you to death!" "You're so fierce, I can't afford to offend you I'm going to wash my hands." Herbert ran out of the kitchen. After he left, I pursed my lips and smiled. I knew that he was deliberately teasing me. It seemed that he liked to tease me now, as if he liked to see me getting angry

While I was smiling, a man suddenly poked his head into the kitchen

"Hey, why are you smirking?" Herbert suddenly came back.

I immediately stopped smiling. Herbert laughed. "Give me a bowl of soup. I'll go wash up first." "Got it!" I shouted loudly. This time, after making sure that he was really gone, I smiled again. Then I filled a bowl of soup and put it on the table. I held my chin and looked at the soup in front of me, waiting for him to come back obediently...

At noon this day. Joey asked me out for a simple meal.

In the clean fast food restaurant, Joey and I ate while chatting.

Joey said happily, "The stock you told me to buy last time has increased by more than 10 percent. I invested 30,000 yuan and made a profit of 5,000 yuan!" "Don't spend too much money even if you have earned money. Save some money for your future." I said with a smile. "I got it. What about you? How have you been recently?" Joey asked.

Tve always been saving money, haven't 1?" I said. Joey said anxiously, "I'm talking about when you and Herbert will get married again!" Hearing this, I said, "We're not in a hurry." "Not in a hurry? How long has it been since you've gotten back together? Do you have any conflict with each other after Caroline's death? Besides, you two are grown-up. Do you want to live with him illegally for a lifetime? Even if you are willing, you won't feel secure" Joey said in one breath. In fact, the word "marriage" had flashed through my mind many times. Herbert had said several times that I was his wife, but he had never expressed it clearly. I couldn't take the initiative to ask Herbert to marry me, could I? Thinking about it, my face turned red. I wouldn't do such a thing. "Why don't you speak?" Seeing that I was silent all the time, Joey was extremely anxious. At this time, I said, "He didn't propose to me. Should I mention it myself? I would rather not." "Even if you don't mention it, you can hint at him. Maybe he's been busy and he has forgotten it," Joey advised.

I nodded. Indeed, I could give a hint to Herbert. In fact, I was looking forward to getting married to Herbert again. In the future, our family would live a good life together.

At this time, I was full of imagination about the future.
