Chapter 221
Bella’s POV:
Soon, it was Anne’s birthday. Hank prepared a party at home, and I went with mother.
I entrusted Lucky to my neighbor. I was ready to come back as soon as I gave Anne the gift. On one hand, I was worried about Lucky. On the other hand, I didn’t want to have a conflict with Betty
Almost all the guests had arrived.
I saw Hank and Betty from a distance. Betty was wearing a pink dress and looked very beautiful. Hank was still in his usual white shirt. He still looked like a gentleman.
Betty held a tray in her hand, which was filled with red packets and gifts from the guests.
“Betty is over there.” Mother pointed in Betty’s direction. “Okay.” I nodded and followed her.
At this time, Hank saw mother and I. He was stunned and then walked toward us.
Betty glanced at Hank in the blink of an eye. When she saw Hank walking towards mother and I, she quickly called out, “Hank!”
Betty took his arm and walked towards us with a smile.
“Mom… Sister, you’re here?” Hank looked a little unnatural when he called me.
After all, on such an occasion, he still had to call me sister.
It was really uncomfortable for me to be called sister by Hank. I always felt a little uncomfortable, but I still tried to smile.
“Where’s Anne?” asked mother.
“She was sleepy just now. The nanny brought her to the room to sleep.” Betty replied.
“Okay.” I nodded with a smile as a perfunctory reply.
At this time, Betty held Hank’s arm and said with a warm smile, “Sister, you haven’t come to my house yet. Before you leave, you must come to our house as a guest!” Hearing this, I frowned and thought, “When am I leaving? Lucky is still so young now, and I need mother’s help. I’m not planning to leave.” The next moment, I realized that Betty’s words were meant for Hank. Sure enough, Hank frowned and asked me, “Do you still want to go back to work?”
I didn’t know how to answer.
At this time, mother asked me, “Bella, why do you still want to go back to Wharton? You’re have to take care of…” Betty said, “Mom, my sister told me herself last time. Am I right?” I looked into Betty’s eyes and felt that Betty was really confusing now. How could she lie so naturally? I knew that she did this because she didn’t want Hank to know that I was very close to him. Perhaps, as long as Hank didn’t appear in my life, Betty wouldn’t take the initiative to cause me trouble. So I didn’t expose Betty’s lie. I said, “That’s my plan.” Hearing this, Hank nodded, and his eyes looked a little lonely “I still have something to do. I’m leaving now.” I felt that the scene was suffocating, so I quickly left. “Bella, I’ll be home in about two hours,” Mother said to me immediately.
“Yes.” I nodded.
At this time, Betty handed the tray in her hand to Hank, went forward, grabbed my hand, and said with a smile, “Sister, I’ll see you out!” “No need.” I pushed Betty’s hand away without leaving a trace. “Let me see you out!” Betty insisted and took my hand to the exit. I didn’t shake Betty’s hand off until we reached the entrance of the banquet hall. “Mom and Hank are inside. You don’t have to pretend anymore!” I turned my head and said coldly. Betty drew back her hand and sneered. “Okay, let’s make it clear.” “What do you want to do?” I stared at Betty. I knew that she must have a purpose for putting so much effort into it. Betty took a step forward and said, “I hope you will never come to my house again!” Hearing this, I smiled contemptuously. “Who wants to go to YOUR house?”
15 57 “Also, if Hank invites you to dinner, I hope you won’t go. You have to tell him that you’re not free. In short, you can’t have any dealings with him!” Betty asked me very aggressively. I really hated her commanding tone. “Betty, listen up. I don’t want to have anything to do with Hank in the future, including you! As long as you don’t make trouble for me, we can live a peaceful life!” After that, I turned and left.
