416 What Was A Friend?

Charles held Bella’s and felt the coldness of her palm. He kissed her hands and said softly, "I am here, our child will be fine."

"Yeah." Bella looked at him from the side and her eyes bent. "I am not afraid."

Charles was here, she believed that their child would be safe.

Although they had wished so, Nick had already taken actions, and it was impossible for Bella to pretend that nothing had happened.

Charles coldly glanced at Dora. Although Dora didn’t know the inside story, it was wrong to make Bella sad.

Dora didn’t know where Charles's hostility came from. She was about to say something. Carl had already held her hand and shook his head to sign her not to say anything more.

After dinner, Dora and Carl left, and Charles immediately said to Bella. "Don't play with Dora before giving birth to our child?"

"Why?" Bella felt confused.

"She makes you sad." Charles held her. When he thought of her haze at the dinner table, and his eyes became cold.

"Dora is kind." Bella leaned in his arms, sighed lightly. "In fact, Dora's words are also what I want to say. I like boys, not because of patriotism, but the society is sinister, life is not easy. It is okay for the boy to suffer, but if it is a girl, I don’t want her to suffer too much."

Charles looked at her sad face and smiled. "Is life difficult? Our children will not suffer. You can rest assured."

Bella came back to herself and smiled. "This is true. Dora and I only thought of ourselves. We forgot that our lord is richer than a country."

Charles was disdainful, "A country is only the tip of the iceberg for me."

Bella looked at him with astonishment. "How much money do you have? Do you have more money than the country?"

"How much money can the country have?" Charles disdained, "It has been only decades after the Second World War, how much money could the country have with only several decades of years of development and foundation? The wealth of the Kingdom of the Sea is endless."

Bella once again thought of that her husband was not an ordinary human.

"Darling, you are really rich." Bella held his neck and kissed him on his lips. "It's so nice to be rich."

"Cheesy!" Charles sighed. "I have to show off my wealth to comfort my wife."

Bella laughed, "There is no other way, your wife is too cheesy."

The two joked a lot, and the previous haze disappeared.

On the way to go back, Carl took Dora’s hand and it was a little tight. Dora looked at him in surprise and asked, "What’s wrong?"

Carl did not look back, and his words were firm. "Dora, our children will not suffer. I will work hard and will not let our children suffer."

He heard and remembered what she and Bella said.

He had suffered too when he was expelled from the Kingdom of the Sea, but when he knew that Dora was living hard, he was also sad for her. So even he knew that Charles was not happy at the time, and he would not say anything.

They were different from Charles, who had endless wealth and ability. He only needed his wife to be happy, not to worry about money.

Dora smiled brightly, and her hand tried to hold back his hand. "Nice."

Carl had given all the warmth after her parents passed away.

For a moment, Carl’s voice was a little smaller. “Dora, can we not come again before the lady gives birth to the child?”

Dora did not know, but Carl knew that Nick and Charles had started fighting. The words that Dora did not intend to say at the time were probably to give Bella a sense of crisis, so she was very sad at the time.

He was afraid that next time Dora met Bella, she would say something that made Bella feel said and also made Charles angry.

Moreover, he was the old subordinate of Nick, Charles didn’t care, but he must be careful.

Dora didn't know those things. When she heard his words, she was nervous. "Did I just say anything wrong that made Charles angry? Is he tempering you?"

Carl saw that she was so nervously worried about himself, he felt satisfied in his heart, and holding her hand tightly. "I have been with you all the time. Have you seen him tempering me?"

Dora then relieved. "Then why can’t we go? People will start to visit relatives on the second day of the year. Bella and I have no relatives. If I don't go, she will be lonely."

She was reasonable, but Carl said carefully, "The lady’s company suffered a considerable loss before the New Year, they may have been dealing with it recently, we may disturb them if we come so often."

Dora knew the problem of E&B, and she was even one of the people who had been affected by the poisons.

So after that incident, she didn't go to find Bella and didn't stay with her. She was afraid that she would be guilty if she saw her also got poisonous.

So she came to see her when her body recovered. And she never mentioned this matter to Bella from the beginning to the end.

Dora had regretted that when she was in the hospital, she was angry with Bella because of Carl’s death. She didn't want to be sad because of her again.

Looking at the skin that had faded without traces, Dora sighed. "You are right, Bella is now a powerful woman. Let’s see her again after everything passes."

"Okay." Carl saw her depression, knowing that she actually worried about Bella, and said, "Listen, the lady's child is going to born, let’s think about what we should send."

Dora’s attention was certainly transferred, and she thought for a long time with her head tilting. She said, "Considering my relationship with Bella, I should give the child a silver collar. Silver is not good enough, we should buy gold, it can maintain value."

Carl wanted to say that Charles didn’t lack money. Everything in the sea was worthwhile, but looking at her excitement, he didn’t want to frustrate her. "Then let's go now. Pick it up and in case we have to buy it temporarily.”

"Fine."

The two really went to the mall and chose one suit of gold ornaments, with collars, bracelets and foot rings.

Dora looked at him and laughed. "Do I look like a Na Cha."

"Yeah." Carl looked at her, and he was very satisfied.

Dora was really good, she was easy to satisfy, easy to be happy. She had no requirements for life and others.

It might be because she lived too hard before, so she would feel so satisfied with everything now.

Carl went through a lot. When he thought that he was waiting for death in the rest of his life, he found that he had the possibility to own happiness.

"Dora, I will protect you." Carl held her in her arms, his voice was very light, and his tone was very serious.

Nick had found him and told him that he was going to act. He would avenge Charles for those who had been expelled from the Kingdom of the Sea.

He said that he didn’t need revenge, and he felt very good now.

Nick was not angry. He just said that he and Steven were also officially hostile. He hoped that he could remain neutral.

Carl had a special talent. Nick did not let him participate in this action, indicating that he did not want to ruin his current life.

But Steven was the one who had helped him during his most difficult time.
