Chapter 129
Bella’s POV:
After Herbert sat down, I felt a little nervous. “I’m going to make coffee.”
Without waiting for him to speak, I turned around and walked into the narrow kitchen to prepare coffee for Herbert
I didn’t expect him to come to me today. I was very nervous and my heart beat faster.
Five or six minutes later, I came out of the kitchen with a cup of hot coffee.
I put the cup in front of Herbert with both hands.
“Thank you.” Today, Herbert was very polite and a little cold. I couldn’t guess his mood at the moment.
In particular, he was wearing sunglasses. I couldn’t see his eyes, let alone what I should do next. This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
Perhaps he had noticed my embarrassment, so he took out a bank card from his pocket and put it on the narrow tea table.
“This is the card given to me by Klein and Vivian. There are a total of 13,000 dollars in it. 2,000 dollars is your medical expenses. 5,000 dollars is the compensation for employment contract. The other 6,000 dollars is the compensation for the mental damage and work delay. These are all calculated by my lawyer according to various regulations. It should be very professiona to discuss about it yourself, there should be no better result. Are you satisfied with such compensation?” Herbert looked at me and asked.
I crossed my arms and said, “Since it’s done by a lawyer, I’m not dissatisfied. Ah, this is the first time I was slapped and got paid 6,000 dollars, which means that my face is already very valuable. What else
can I say?” I laughed at myself. Over the years, I had really been slapped a lot. Some of them I already had my revenge, and some of them had no chance to avenge. Only this time did I get compensation.
But why did I feel so uncomfortable in my heart? In the past, I did think about compensation and agreed to it. But if I really wanted to get the money, why did I always get beaten?
Herbert took out two pieces of paper from his pocket and said, “If you don’t have any objections, sign on this reconciliation letter.”
I found a pen and signed my name on two kinds of reconciliation letter.
Herbert continued, “The password of the bank card is 123456.”
“Yes.” | nodded.
After talking about the compensation, I really wanted to say something, but suddenly there was no topic to talk about. I didn’t know what to say.
The next moment, he got up and said, “I’m leaving!”
“Oh.” I opened my mouth and nodded.
Herbert seemed to have glanced at me, then turned and walked toward the door.
“How… how are your feet?” As he walked out of the door, I suddenly shouted while looking at his back.
17251 Herbert stopped. “How did you know that my foot was injured?” “I saw blood on the floor of the hospital.” I answered truthfully.
ler a moment of silence, he said, “It’s just a small injury. It’s almost healed.”
That’s good.” I looked at his back and said these words with difficulty.
After a while, he lowered his head and said, “I’m leaving.”
I frowned and clenched my fists.
As soon as he lifted his feet, I couldn’t control my feelings anymore. I stepped forward and bumped into his back, with my hands around his back.
Herbert didn’t push me away.
Ileaned on his back and whispered, “Herbert, I don’t mean anything else. I don’t know if we will have a future, so I want to tell you my feelings.”
“What are you trying to say?” His deep voice came.
“I… I don’t care what happened between you and me, or whether we will become two parallel lines that will never cross in the future. But I just want to tell you that I like you!” After that, my tears flowed out.
This was my most real feeling. I had never told him.
When I was in the hospital, I didn’t lie to him on purpose, but I was greedy.
I wanted to spend some time with him.
I didn’t want to force him to stay or force him to make a choice between Caroline and I.
On the contrary, I wanted to make a complete break with the past. He had always been by Caroline’s side. Was he reluctant to abandon her or even love her? Since I couldn’t change his mind, I couldn’t accept the relationship of three people as well. Then it was better to part ways!
When we parted, I still wanted to tell him the most real feeling in my heart.
To end this relationship, I had to find a new job. I had thought about whether I should leave the city and go to other cities, so that I could completely abandon everything there.
The next moment, I let go of Herbert’s waist, took two steps back, and turned my face away. “Well, I’m done. You can go now!”
“Goodbye, Herbert!” At this moment, Herbert suddenly turned around, took off his sunglasses, and stared at me. “Bella, what do you mean? You want me to leave after telling me these things?“: “I just want to end the relationship with you. We won’t meet again in the future. Even if we meet again, we can just treat each other as passers-by.” I said, holding back my heartache. The next moment, he rushed up and grabbed my shoulder. “Bella, you’re so hateful! You told me that you liked me and then asked me to go. Don’t you think it’s unfair to me?” “What else can I do? Let you stay? What about Caroline? I’m not the only one you love!” I retorted. “When did I say that I love Caroline? Which ear did you hear that?” Herbert roared at me.
“Wasn’t she your first love? Your two families are old friends. You grew up together? If it weren’t for her family accident, you might have been married. And there are also photos of her in the books in

your study. Am I right?” I said these pieces of evidence, which had been stuck in my heart and made me uncomfortable.
