Chapter 82
Bella‘s POV: Joey accompanied me to a taxi, which quickly drove into the lane.
“I‘m sorry. I wanted to take you out to relax, but I didn‘t expect you to be unhappy.” Joey said guiltily “It‘s not because of you.” I said.
“It‘s so annoying. I should have gone over and taught that mistress a lesson!” Joey said angrily. Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.
I didn‘t respond. According to my bad temper, I really should have rushed up to teach them a lesson. We haven‘t divorced yet, but they actually dared to choose a ring on their date. But I didn‘t do that. 1 didn‘t have the confidence to question anyone. My marriage with Herbert was a contract from the beginning. If I really rushed over today, the person humiliated would be me. If Herbert didn‘t love me, he would definitely stand firmly beside me. I could almost imagine how embarrassing that scene was. I couldn‘t face it directly, so I chose to escape. I asked the taxi driver to send Joey home first, and then I went home.
As soon as I entered the house, Miranda ran over happily and reminded me in a low voice, “Mrs. Wharton, Mr. Wharton is back. He‘s waiting for you in the living room!” Hearing this, my heart trembled.
Wasn‘t he buying a ring with Caroline? Why did he come back so soon? Or maybe they were in a hurry to get married, so he came back in a hurry to divorce me?” I entered the living room. When I looked at Herbert, he was also looking at me. I walked to the sofa and threw the box containing the diamond necklace on the table. Then I sat on the sofa. “Tell me directly. What do you want from me?” I didn‘t look at him, and my tone was cold. “This is my home. Do I need a reason to look for my wife?” Herbert frowned and asked in a serious tone.
His home?
His wife!
“If I remember correctly, as a wife, I haven‘t seen my husband for a whole month?” I asked,
Herbert didn‘t say anything.
A second ago, he said I was his wife, but now he had no words to say to me, and he was even unwilling to pretend? “Why did you come back so suddenly? Is it because you‘re worried that I‘ve spent your 20,000 dollars today?” Today, I just wanted to tell him that I was also in the mall and saw him with Caroline

190753 I knew it didn‘t make sense, but I just wanted to try again. There was still a faint hope in my heart. If he explained it to me now, perhaps I would really believe him.
But in fact, he didn‘t seem to want to explain at all. There was disdain in his tone. “Do you think I care about you spending 20,000 dollars?” “Yeah, you don‘t care. I know you have a lot of money. It‘s nothing to buy a diamond ring worth millions for your beloved.” I deliberately mocked. “Today, Caroline and ...” Without waiting for Herbert to finish his words, I interrupted him. When the name ‘Caroline‘ came out of Herbert‘s mouth, it stimulated my sensitive nerves. He yelled at him, “I don‘t want to know anything about you and Caroline. If you‘re here to talk about the divorce today, I can tell you that I agree!” Herbert stared at me without saying anything. After a long time, he slowly said, “You‘ve been looking forward to a divorce, haven‘t you?” “You should be the one in a hurry, right?” I raised my voice eight degrees. He couldn‘t stand being with me anymore. He bought a wedding ring with Caroline. He wanted to divorce me, but in the end, he blamed me. When did he become so hypocritical? Although he didn‘t love me, he was sincere enough.
Herbert stood up and walked toward me. He stared at me and approached me.
He walked very close to me. I was very nervous, and there was a lot of sweat on my back. The next moment, he suddenly reached out his hand, grabbed my shoulder, and lifted me up from the sofa! “What
are you doing?” My voice trembled. He frowned and his expression was extremely serious. I was a little afraid of him. After a moment of silence, Herbert finally spoke. “As long as you and Hank no longer have any contact, I can continue to live with you as if nothing has happened!” I tried my best to shake off his hand and questioned him, “What do you mean by that? I can tell you clearly that Hank and I are just ordinary friends. There is no ambiguous relationship between us!” Our divorce was clearly caused by Herbert. Why did he have to blame me for this? Was he trying to shirk his responsibility? Herbert put his hand into the pocket and said in a sarcastic tone, “You two were so intimate at the entrance of the community. Do you think I am a fool?” As soon as these words came out, I was stunned and immediately remembered the scene that! met Hank at the gate of the community a few days ago.
So he saw us.
So he came back?
I opened my mouth wide and didn‘t know how to explain it. I wanted to say that there was really no ambiguous relationship between Hank and I. He did come 10 see me, but I had already made it clear to him. But when I looked up, I saw the suspicious look in Herbert‘s eyes.

He was completely convinced that I had an affair with Hank. Even if I explained it, it wouldn‘t change anything! Herbert didn‘t trust me. Was there a need to explain? Herbert‘s POV
I couldn‘t find Bella, so I went home to wait for her. I sat on the sofa and repeatedly read the expenses record. Every second I waited was torment. The moment I saw her coming in, my heart was filled with joy. I felt that I finally had a chance to explain to her that I really didn‘t have an ambiguous relationship with Caroline. But when I heard Bella talking to me in a very cold tone, my heart was burning with anger. I still needed a reason to go home to see my wife! Then I tried again to suppress my anger. I tried to explain my relationship with Caroline. After all, this was the real reason why I came back. But Bella was very resistant to me. She didn‘t trust me and used a louder voice to fight against me. She even
mentioned divorce! This really made me uncomfortable. I didn‘t expect Bella to think about divorce these days. Why did she want to divorce me? Was it for Hank? Every time I thought of the name Hank, the flames of anger wrapped me up. I was trying my best to control my emotions. I was forcing myself not to be angry. I told Bella that as long as she didn‘t continue to interact with Hank, we wouldn‘t divorce. If she really cared about me, she would accept this request. But she didn‘t. She fought against me in a more intense tone, saying that she had nothing to do with
Hank
No ambiguous relationship? How was that possible!
When Bella was in danger, she chose to inform Hank first, Later on, they even met privately. When I pointed out that they met privately, Bella couldn‘t even say a word, not even an explanation. I continued to question her. “After we divorce, you‘ll go to Hank, right?” “Didn‘t you want to divorce me? You already went to see Caroline before you even got a divorce with me. Didn‘t you send me to Moon Mountain because I hindered you from seeing her? Herbert, if you want to divorce me, just tell me. There‘s no need to push the responsibility to others. Do you think you are a victim? Since when did you become so hypocritical? If you want to be with her, I agree. Anyway, we didn‘t get together because we loved each other.” Bella‘s voice was very loud. To be honest, I was very shocked to hear what Bella said. I didn‘t expect that in Bella‘s eyes, I would become a hypocritical person.
After a long time, I nodded, “Well, since you want to divorce so badly, we don‘t have to live together

anymore.”
“It was you who wanted to divorce!” Bella roared.
“It doesn‘t matter who wants to get a divorce. The result is the same. We will get a divorce at 8:30 tomorrow!” I didn‘t want to continue to be entangled with her, so I turned away after finishing my sentence.
When I turned around, the feeling of heartache spread all over my body. It was really uncomfortable.
At first, I wanted to explain to Bella what happened between Caroline and I. There was no ambiguous relationship between us. But Bella‘s attitude was too tough. And whenever I thought of how I saw Hank in the hospital that day, I would be in a very bad mood. Since she wanted a divorce so much, then we would part ways! When I said those words, I was impulsive. When I walked to the door, I regretted it. I wanted to go back and talk to Bella about the whole thing.
But my strong self–esteem tripped my foot. I was a proud man. When I learned that Bella took the initiative and asked someone to call Hank, I was able to restrain myself from immediately getting divorced. That was my greatest patience. In fact, I didn‘t ask for much. As long as Bella showed weakness to me, or she promised never to be entangled with Hank in the future, I would never pursue the past in the future.
But Bella didn‘t seem to want to do that.
At this time, the voice of Miranda came from inside the room.
“Mrs. Wharton, Mr. Wharton has already shown weakness to you. Why are you still so stubborn? Hurry up and go after him. He‘s not far away yet!”
Bella‘s voice was very loud. “Did he show weakness to me? He was obviously insulting me.” Bella‘s voice was full of determination. Did she really not intend to retain me? Was she really not going to chase after me? As long as she was willing to say, “Herbert, don‘t go.” I would definitely stay.
But Bella didn‘t do that. I stood at the door for half an hour, but Bella didn‘t come out. It seemed that she was determined to divorce me! Since she wanted to divorce me like this, then I would let it be. I smiled helplessly and left.
