The Divorced Heiress Revenge (Bella Thompson) novel Chapter 2177

Upon hearing the sweet and gentle voice, Mrs. Iverson’s vacant eyes moved slightly. But the moment she saw Bella, it was as if she remembered everything. Her eyes brightened and came alive.

“Bella… Bella! You’ve finally come to see me! Chris said you would come, and he didn’t lie to me!”

Bella fluttered her long eyelashes and clenched her fingers. “Mrs. Iverson, have you been doing well lately? How’s your health?”

“I’m good... So good... Seeing you, all my ailments are gone.” As she spoke, her body trembled slightly as if she were feeling cold.

Bella quickly shrugged off her blazer and draped it over Mrs. Iverson’s thin shoulders.

“Come, Bella. I have something for you.”

With a fervent gaze, Mrs. Iverson grasped Bella's delicate wrist and, without another word, slipped a jade bracelet over her fingers.

“Mrs. Iverson, this is too much!”

The cold sensation on her slender wrist made Bella uncomfortable all over, and she immediately tried to remove the bracelet. However, Mrs. Iverson held her hand tightly.

“Bella, my Chris loves you very much. I like you a lot, too. I don’t have anything fancy to give you. But if you don't mind, please accept this. If you do mind, then I have nothing else to say.”

Bella looked troubled. “Mrs. Iverson, I…”

“Today, I specifically asked Chris to find someone to help me dress up nicely because I wanted to make sure I didn’t look too haggard and disheveled when I meet my future daughter-in-law.” Mrs. Iverson’s lips trembled. Her eyes were filled with the joy and excitement of meeting her new daughter-in-law.

Mrs. Iverson clutched Bella’s cold hand tightly, her tear-filled eyes looking mournfully at her. “But now, my worries have finally been eased because he has you! Even if I leave this world someday, Chris won’t be alone or helpless with you by his side.”

Bella was utterly stunned. Her mind suddenly went blank.

“Bella… Please promise me to stay with Chris. Okay?” Mrs. Iverson pleaded with a tone that could not be more humble. She was practically begging Bella.

“I’m sorry, Mrs. Iverson.”

Bella steadied her tumultuous emotions and slowly, yet firmly, withdrew her hand from Mrs. Iverson's frail grasp. “I do not love your son. I could never be with him. Besides, I already have a husband. We are deeply in love with each other. Nothing will separate us until death do us part.”
