Chapter 6: Walker Richter’s First Love
“He is … yue…”
My stomach turned over, and when I couldn’t hold back, I threw up all over Walker Richter, whose face, I could vaguely see, was as black as a pot, and had the air of strangling me.
I lay on the floor like a puddle of mud, my head was so foggy and my stomach was so cramped that I covered it and squinted and asked him, “Walker Richter, why were you so intent on marrying Bella Hill?”
In my opinion, Walker Richter marrying Bella Hill is an act of wantonness.
In a daze, I seemed to hear Walker Richter’s voice through gritted teeth, “That’s for you to ask yourself, when you were saying that you loved me to death, and that you would not marry me.”
“Bullshit,” I shook my groggy head, my hands gripping his lapels feebly, drunkenly babbling, long past my guard, “I don’t love you, what are you, how could I love you, you’re hilarious.”
“Say what you just said again!”
“I, I said …” My stomach hurt like a knot in my stomach, and I couldn’t stand any longer, sweating profusely, and fainted with both eyes.
I woke up in a hospital.
Stomach bleeding.
When he opened his eyes, all he felt was a splitting headache, his mouth was thirsty as hell, and he smelled so full of alcohol that he smoked himself.
“Second sister-in-law, you’re awake.”
I didn’t expect the first person I woke up to see to be Nancy Richter.
I sat up rubbing my groggy head and tried to pour myself a glass of water to drink, Nancy Richter had the good sense to say, “Second Sister-in-law, you want some water, I’ll pour it for you while you lie down.”
Memories from before he fainted flooded his mind intermittently.
I think I remember puking all over Walker Richter, and I’m disconnected as far as anything else goes.
“Nancy, where did your second brother go?” I asked a little sheepishly.
Fiona Croix used to say that I babble when I’m drunk, and that I hate telling people about my ancestors.
That’s why I rarely drink.
Who knew last night that Walker Richter would suddenly return.
And I don’t know if any of that nonsense slipped out.
“Ergo has gone to the office, it’s been quite busy lately as the company is preparing for a big acquisition program, that’s why I was asked to come over.” Nancy Richter poured water for me and sat down at the edge of the bed, wanting to say something: “Second sister-in-law, you are already Ms. Richter, there are some things that you should turn a blind eye to, second brother is out to socialize, it’s inevitable that he needs to play games, it’s normal to have one or two confidantes, it’s not necessary for you to put yourself in such a situation, it will only cause second brother to hate you even more, you married into the Richter family for so long, you’ve been crying and making trouble, almost hanging yourself. You’ve been married into the Richter family for so long, you’ve cried, you’ve been on the verge of hanging yourself, but which time have you succeeded?”
“What?”
I froze, Nancy Richter thinks I’m drinking myself into a stomach bleed because of Walker Richter?
Nancy Richter added, “It’s no wonder you reacted so strongly this time, after all, Pheobe Wilson once had a relationship with my second brother, and she came back this time just for my second brother, so maybe you won’t be able to keep your position as the young lady.”

Nancy Richter, why does that sound like a bit of gloating?
It seems that Bella Hill is not very popular in the Richter family, and her relationship with Walker Richter is not as loving as rumored.
Luxury marriages are all about showmanship when it comes to the real thing.
I don’t know what kind of stupid things the old Bella Hill did for seducing Walker Richter, and even if I explained it now, no one would believe it, only acquiesce.
I took a big sip of water in my cupped hands and felt better in my mouth before I took a long look at Nancy Richter and laughed, “You’re right, it’s time to turn a blind eye and be content.”
This time it was Nancy Richter’s turn to freeze; she probably didn’t expect me to be so obedient this time.
If it’s really Bella Hill, with her character, naturally she won’t listen to it, I know Bella Hill too well, she determines who she is and what she wants, no one else can ever get their hands on it.
Nancy Richter frowned and asked me with some disbelief, “Have you really come to your senses?”
“Figured it out.” I’m not Bella Hill, why do I care if Walker Richter is out looking for women? I said with a smile on my face, “It’s quite hard for a man to work outside, as a woman, you should give understanding, and your second brother is so good, even if there is no background of the Richter family, with that face, I don’t know how many women are willing to fall on it, if your second brother really looks at who, I can also give up my position as Ms. Richter. hand over.”
Nancy Richter’s jaw dropped and she looked at me with an expression of surprise that said I’m about possessed.
Just then, Walker Richter’s cold voice ghosted through the doorway.
“Ms. Richter can be very generous.”
That tone, sarcastic, with a face like someone owed him eight million dollars.
“Ergo.” Nancy Richter saw Walker Richter arrive and immediately made an excuse to slip away, “I’m meeting a friend for shopping, so I’ll leave you guys alone.”
After Nancy Richter left, Walker Richter and I were the only ones left in the hospital room, and the atmosphere became eerie.
I just learned an important piece of information from Nancy Richter, that Walker Richter loathes Bella Hill and has a touch of the white moon living in his heart, and that the marriage between the two is on the rocks.
So why don’t I just add more fuel to the fire?
Consider it a little interest paid back by Bella Hill.
Walker Richter looked down at me, his face expressionless, hard to tell if he was happy or angry, and I met his cool gaze with candor, “Isn’t that what you want?”
“Backing down to get ahead?” Walker Richter snorted coldly, propped one hand on the head of the bed, his deep eyes gazing at me, “You’ve learned something this time, Bella Hill, put away those little thoughts of yours, as long as you keep your peace, this position of Ms. Richter will still be yours, otherwise, don’t blame me for being ruthless.”
You can tell by the look in Walker Richter’s eyes that he truly loathes Bella Hill.
I can’t wait for Walker Richter to be heartless enough to file for divorce.
I sat up, looked like I’d figured it out, and very understandingly said, “I can’t believe you hate me so much, so let’s get a divorce, it’ll be a relief for everyone.”
“Divorce?” Walker Richter’s eyes changed suddenly, his hawk-like eyes cold and sharp and scary as he clamped down on my wrist, “You want to go after that guy?”
I’m a little confused.
Who is ‘that guy’?
Did Bella Hill have someone on the outs behind Walker Richter’s back?
Whether it did or didn’t, I can’t admit to going through the wrath of Walker Richter on behalf of Bella Hill.
My wrists were pinched to the point of pain, I struggled a little, but in vain, I secretly took a breath and said, “I don’t understand what you’re talking about, I’ve been married to you for so long, and as Nancy said, I couldn’t please you even when I cried, and I was close to hanging myself, and you hated me, and you had someone else in your heart, and I’ve figured it out, and I want to make it work for you.”
Walker Richter looked deeply at me, his eyes containing a glint I couldn’t understand, that handsome face slowly moving closer to me, his gaze exploring my body, sending chills down my back, my body involuntarily leaning back, too weak in my heart to look him squarely in the eye.
“Bella Hill, you’ve changed.”
