Chapter 113
Bella’s POV: My words angered Caroline.
Caroline’s expression became distorted. She raised her hand to hit us.
I immediately said, “If you dare to hit me, there are cameras everywhere. Your conflict with me has been recorded. I am now working in the best legal company in the city!” | pointed to the camera above my head and warned.
Caroline put down her hand, a wicked smile appeared on her face. “How could I have forgotten? You’ve seduced Klein yet again. But let me tell you this. Klein definitely won’t marry you. You are just a toy!”
“If you don’t leave now, I won’t be polite to you!” I took a step forward agitatedly, pointing to Caroline and warning her harshly.
Joey grabbed my arm, signaling me not to be impulsive.
In the next moment, Caroline took two steps back, but her words were still tough. “Bella, don’t be proud. Someone will teach you a lesson!”
After that, she turned around and walked quickly.
“Bah! Shame on you.” Joey cursed at her back. I turned my head to look at Joey. “You were too impulsive just now. You can’t offend such a person because of me. Given her relationship with Herbert, in the future, she might very well harm you. After all, you are still working in the Wharton Group.” .
“If one day she really marries Boss, I will resign immediately!” Joey shouted.
I frowned and tried to persuade her. “Don’t lose your job because of such a person? It’s really hard to find a job now, especially a job with a good offer like the Wharton Group. Your mother needs a nanny to
take care of her, and you need a stable income!” My last sentence immediately made Joey lose her confidence.
Joey’s mother had a heart attack and was paralyzed on the bed. She couldn’t take care of herself anymore.
If she lived in the city, the cost would be too high. Joey couldn’t afford it, so she could only send her back to the village and hired a nanny to take care of her. Every weekend, she would go to the village. Her rent, the nanny’s salary, and living expenses had put a lot of pressure on Joey every month. If
she were to change to a job that wasn’t as good as that of the Wharton Group, she couldn’t imagine what life would be like.
“Oh, you must be late!” At this time, I looked at the watch on my wrist. It was already past work time.
Seeing that, Joey immediately ran. She turned back and said to me, “I’m leaving. I’ll contact you after work!”
In the afternoon, I went back to ask for a leave. I bought some fruits and went to the villa where Lucas lived. Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
Tomorrow was the weekend, and I didn’t want to meet Herbert, so I chose to go to the villa today. Tcould take a Inok at Lucas In addition I needed to find out the information related to Lucas’s birth.
Trang the doorbell, and Gaynor came to open the door.
“Miss Stepanek?” I knew I happened to appear suddenly. After all, I had nothing to do with this child. “Gaynor, I was nearby handling some business, so I came here to check on Lucas. I miss him.” I tried my best to smile, because I was really not good at lying. “Please come in. Lucas is still sleeping.” Gaynor led me in, indicating that I must be quiet. Igently walked into the living room and saw the lovely little guy lying on the baby bed, so I couldn’t help walking over.
At this moment, Lucas was sleeping soundly on the little quilt with a blue cartoon pattern. There
nouth, and two chubby hands were lifted on his head. He was very cute
I took a tissue and gently wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth. I was very happy.
“Miss Stepanek, would you like some water?” Gaynor poured a cup of water and placed it on the coffee table.
“Thank you.” I turned around and sat on the sofa.
Gaynor looked at the sleeping little boy and said, “Lucas is really cute. I have always been responsible for taking care of him. When I left him a few days ago, I felt a lot of reluctance in my heart. It’s like a cat scratching my heart. I really wanted to see this little baby immediately.” In fact, these words were my real feelings, but I didn’t forget why I came here.
After a moment of relaxation, I asked tentatively, “Gaynor, have you taken care of him since he was born?”
“That’s right. I’ve been taking care of Lucas the entire time since Mr. Wharton brought him back from the orphanage.” said Gaynor. “I don’t know which family’s parents are so cruel to abandon such a lovely child.” I said. “God won’t let go of such parents. They’ll definitely go to hell in the future.” Gaynor cursed. “Then which orphanage did he come from?” I asked when it was about time. Gaynor hesitated for a moment, then laughed, “It seems as though Mr. Wharton mentioned it, but I
didn’t pay much attention to it. I forgot about it.” “Oh.” I was a little disappointed, but there was still a smile on my face.
After a while, Lucas woke up. He looked at me with his small eyes and immediately smiled. I was very happy to see him. He reached out to me and wanted me to hold him. I was also very happy with his
enthusiasm. It was not until evening that I got up and was ready to leave. “Miss Stepanek, I know that you like Lucas, and Lucas likes you very much. If you have time, you can come here often.” Gaynor said. “Of course I will.” Of course, I wouldn’t refuse. I really had a special feeling for Lucas. When I came out of the villa, although I was a little disappointed that I didn’t find out which orphanage Lucas was adopted from, but I was very satisfied when I saw Lucas.
