Chapter 179
Bella’s POV:
A few days later, my body recovered.
I continued to work.
Time flew. Two months had passed.
In the early summer season, the men had changed into shirts, and the women had also put on light
dresses
That afternoon, when I was about to get off work, I received a text message. “Bella, can I invite you to
dinner with me?” The message was sent by Klein. Ever since that day, he rarely bothered me. He would
occasionally come to Wharton Mountain for a business trip and would bring me some small gifts.
We didn’t talk much. We only contacted each other once every two weeks. We talked like ordinary

I was fine to be his ordinary friend. “Are you on a business trip to Wharton Mountain again?” I replied.
“I do have work to do.” “I’ll treat you to a Mexican barbecue, okay?” I knew there was a very delicious
one. “All right.” Klein replied. After work, as soon as I walked out of the accounting firm, I saw Klein’s
Land Rover, which was parked on the side of the road. Klein immediately got out of the car and waved at
me. Then, he opened the door for me in a very gentlemanly manner. About ten minutes later, we arrived
at the Mexican barbecue restaurant. It was not a high-end restaurant, but a very small one. The people
who came here to eat barbecue were basically ordinary people, and everyone was wearing very simple
clothes. Aside from Klein, who was dressed in a suit. Klein glanced at his surroundings. “It seems like I
need to buy a few sets of casual clothes.” “What size are you wearing? I have a colleague whose wife
runs a casual clothing store that sells affordable clothes. I can buy you a set!” I said. Klein bought me a
phone, as well as some other small gifts. I should give him something to express my gratitude. “I’ll send
you the exact size,” Klein said. “Okay, I’ll choose the style of the clothes for you,” I replied
straightforwardly.

We ate barbecue skewers while chatting. We had a lot of common topics to talk about, and we talked
happily
No one would talk so much to me in this city. Every day, I was busy with work, and then I cooked, ate,
and slept alone. Life was very dull but very peaceful. I did not have to live in a panic. I wanted to continue
living like this. At nine o’clock in the evening, a Land Rover slowly parked under my rented apartment
building. “I’ll go back early tomorrow morning. These are the local specialties I brought for you.” Klein
reached out to take a bag from the back seat and handed it to me. There were cheesecake, brazil nuts,
and cranberries in the bag. Although these were also sold in this city, the significance was different.

I was afraid of such a look because it made me feel stressed. So I quickly opened the door and said,
“Goodbye!” Klein drove off. I carried my bag and turned. At this time, I suddenly saw a black shadow
standing not far away. It was a burly man in a white shirt and black trousers. His eyes were shining with
a cold light in the dark.
It was Herbert!
I didn’t expect to see him again. I thought he had completely disappeared from my life. Right now, he
should be living happily with Caroline. Why did he suddenly appear in front of me? This was definitely not
an encounter. He had come here on purpose. “What are you doing here?” My tone was very cold.
Herbert came to me with anger and disdain. “I happened to meet you having an affair with another man.
You are very unhappy, aren’t you?”
There was contempt in his words. I was very angry. Why did he speak to me in such a tone? Timmediately said, “I have nothing to do with you anymore. No matter who I am with, it’s none of your
business!” I didn’t give him a chance to continue. I turned and walked into the corridor. I walked very
quickly, and I was very angry…
