Chapter 418 - 417: I Won’t Hurt Myself and Make You Worry
Bella Acker intentionally said those words to tease him, watching his expression as she spoke.
Damian Sinclair turned his head to look at her, and the ice on his face finally softened a bit. He said, "In the future, if I’m not by your side and you encounter a situation like this, don’t worry about anything else. Protect yourself first and leave the rest to me."
"Yes. I promise I won’t hurt myself and make you worry again." Bella Acker nodded earnestly in agreement.
"Silly girl." Damian took her hand, looking at the scratches on the back of it made by branches, his eyes growing colder.
Bella feared he would be angry again, quickly comforting him, "Damian, I’m really fine. These are just small cuts; they don’t hurt."
Damian sighed, "Sometimes I really wish you were the kind of woman who only cares about fame and fortune."
"Why?" Bella blinked her eyes.
"Because then you could use any means to achieve your goals, and you wouldn’t think of me even when you’re hurt." Damian sighed, "My woman, even if she’s spoiled and a little willful, I would still be happy."
"Pfft, I wondered what it was." Bella laughed, holding his hand back, she said, "That’s how love is, you consider for me a lot, and I’ll do my best to protect you."
In that kind of situation earlier, if it were a woman like Vivian Norris, her first reaction would probably not be to hold onto Damian, but to act pitiful and weak, first talking about her grievances, wishing Damian would immediately go up and beat Jaden Lynch to show her status in Damian’s heart.
But Bella Acker wasn’t that kind of woman; she didn’t want to cause any negative impact on Damian’s reputation because of herself.
Perhaps that’s also why Damian liked her and didn’t even glance at Vivian Norris.
Hearing her say this, the anger inside Damian slowly subsided, and the hostility between his brows finally completely disappeared.
The two of them first went to the hospital, where the nurse disinfected and bandaged Bella Acker’s wounds.
They were originally just small scratches; although they looked bloody, none were serious.
After taking care of the wounds, the night gradually descended.
Damian didn’t take Bella Acker back to the apartment but went to the company instead.
In the company’s underground parking lot, Bella Acker asked, "Damian, do you have work to handle?"
"No," Damian said, holding her hand as they walked into the elevator.
Bella was puzzled. Since there was no work, why did he come to the company?
At this time, everyone at the company had already left work; it couldn’t be to supervise work, right?
Damian directly took her to the CEO’s office.
With the office door closed, the room, unlit, was only dimly illuminated by the city’s lights outside, just bright enough to see the surrounding things clearly.
"Damian..." Bella Acker turned to look at him in confusion, still not understanding why he brought her here.
"The first time we met was here," Damian spoke. "At that time, you weren’t even fifteen yet."
Bella Acker was stunned upon hearing that.
At that time, when the director’s mother was sick and she needed money, she was brought here by an Uncle named Cao to meet Damian, eventually signing a contract to get the money.
In the blink of an eye, more than five years had passed.
Bella Acker nodded, suddenly smiling, and said, "Back then, you didn’t even look at me."
"I did look, otherwise, there wouldn’t have been a contract," Damian said.
"Damian, I’ve always been puzzled. Why were you willing to give me that money back then?" Bella asked the question that had always been buried in her heart. She was very clear that at that time, Damian didn’t like her, and she was very young then.
