Chapter 744: Chapter 743: Capturing Her Heart (27)

Although she grew up in the orphanage, the matron and Aunt Sienna gave her enough care.

So she’s not lacking love, nor does she need anyone to make up for any maternal affection more than twenty years later.

"Bella, listen to me." Aunt Rhodes felt a bit anxious when she heard this, "I’ll make sure to explain this to Shirley. I promise nothing like this will happen again. Bella, you..."

Before she could finish, Bella Acker interrupted, "Aunt Rhodes, it’s been over twenty years. I’m a mother myself now. You really don’t need to compensate for anything out of guilt, really."

"Bella, I..." Aunt Rhodes’s voice was already choked with tears.

"Aunt Rhodes, let’s leave it at that. I have to shoot a scene early tomorrow. Let’s not talk now. Goodbye."

"Okay. Bella, I’ll have Shirley apologize to you."

"Aunt Rhodes, it’s really not necessary. Good night."

After hanging up the phone, Bella Acker sighed silently, but the phone started vibrating again.

She thought it was Aunt Rhodes calling back, frowned, and was about to hang up when she saw the caller ID was... husband.

"Why haven’t I changed the name yet? I’ll change it right after this call." Bella Acker murmured to herself, then pressed the green button, "Hello, Mr. Sinclair."

Upon answering, she realized it was a video call.

Damian Sinclair’s stern face appeared on the phone screen. Bella Acker was a bit startled and instinctively wanted to hang up, but he had already spoken. "Are you hurt? Let me see."

Bella Acker’s hand stopped, "How did you know?"

"Director Simons called me." Damian frowned, noticing the bruises on her extended arm, "Raise your arm higher, let me see. Anything else on your body?"

Bella Acker not only didn’t raise her arm but pulled it back behind her, smiling slightly, "Mr. Sinclair, do you realize a man asking to see a woman’s body is a serious form of sexual harassment?"

"Bella Acker, I’m not joking with you right now." Damian’s voice dropped a notch.

Bella Acker knew he was concerned, so she put away her humor, seriously saying, "Thank you for your concern, Mr. Sinclair, I’m really fine."

"With your skinny frame that could be knocked over by the wind, how could you possibly be fine after a fight? Bella Acker, do you think you’re not dumb enough, or do you think others are dumber than you?"

How could he still be sarcastic at a time like this!

Bella Acker rolled her eyes heavenwards, "Others are indeed a bit dumber than me, but Mr. Sinclair, being extremely smart, certainly isn’t others."

"Bella Acker, do you believe I’ll drive over there right now?"

It was obvious Damian was in the study, probably still handling work, but received a call from Director Simons, prompting him to call Bella.

"I believe you, how wouldn’t I?" Bella sighed, "Shirley Caldwell doesn’t have much strength. My skin is fair, so it’s more noticeable, but after sleeping tonight, it will probably vanish by tomorrow. Really, it’s nothing."

Damian wasn’t happy, looking at her solemnly, not wanting to talk much.

This foolish woman, hasn’t she come back seeming stronger than before? How is it she still ends up suffering losses?

Bella Acker looked at him through the lens, "Mr. Sinclair, if there’s nothing else, I’ll go to sleep now."

"Wait." Damian sighed, "Shirley’s guy is a petty thug. Be more careful when you go out these days."
