Chapter 745: Chapter 744: Conquering Her Heart (28)

Bella Acker frowned, "Okay, I got it."

"I’ll arrange for two bodyguards to follow you for the time being, just in case," Damian Sinclair said.

"Is that really necessary?" Bella Acker frowned, "Even if Shirley Caldwell is a bit spoiled and arrogant, she wouldn’t dare kidnap me. That’s a criminal act; she can’t be that brainless."

"That’s why I said just in case," Damian Sinclair sighed, "Bella, can’t you take your own matters a bit more seriously?"

"How am I not being serious? Mr. Sinclair, thanks for your concern, I’ll be careful."

"Bella, don’t forget, you should be responsible for what concerns me. If something happens to you, who will be responsible to me?"

"Mr. Sinclair, let’s be reasonable here, can last time really be counted as my fault alone?" Bella Acker was both amused and exasperated, "You’re a man chasing after a woman to take responsibility for you, don’t you find that embarrassing?"

"Do you think I still have any face left with you?" Damian Sinclair raised an eyebrow.

It seems... there really isn’t much left.

Bella Acker’s mouth twitched slightly, "Alright, Mr. Sinclair, let me put it this way. Even if you’ve lost face, do you at least still want your dignity? Are you going to abandon even that?"

"If losing my dignity means I can get you back, then so be it," Damian Sinclair said very casually, making Bella Acker momentarily speechless.

The fear of the decent for the shameless—she finally understood how terrifying it is when someone plays the scoundrel.

Previously, how could Damian Sinclair ever put aside his pride to say such things; Bella Acker couldn’t understand what he had been through over the years to change so much in front of her.

It felt like... he had finally stepped down from the pedestal.

Bella Acker sighed, "Mr. Sinclair, do your company’s employees know you’re like this?"

"They don’t need to know, as long as you do," Damian Sinclair’s eyes flashed with a hint of a smile, as he changed the subject, "How much longer until this film wraps up?"

"Soon." Bella Acker said, "By the way, Mr. Sinclair, has the transfer of the downtown apartment been completed?"

"There were some issues; it hasn’t been completed yet. I’ll be on a business trip tomorrow, at least until seven; we’ll talk when I get back," Damian Sinclair pinched his brow, "Bella Acker, you really know how to ruin the mood."

The atmosphere had been quite good just now, almost like their old phone calls, but then she suddenly brought up the apartment transfer. It was like discussing divorce right after getting intimate.

It left Damian Sinclair feeling a bit frustrated.

Bella Acker touched her nose, "Mr. Sinclair, here’s the thing. If the transfer hasn’t been completed, could we hold off on it for now?"

Damian Sinclair’s eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, but he barely kept his face composed and maintained a calm demeanor, "Why? Is this a sign you want to reconcile?"

"I’m staying with Ethan and Talia, and constantly staying at my godmother’s isn’t a solution. It makes it inconvenient for Director Ford to visit, so I plan to look for a house after finishing work here," Bella Acker explained, "I’m more familiar with the area. If you don’t have other plans for your apartment, why not sell it to me?"

He really shouldn’t have overthought it.

The smile in Damian Sinclair’s eyes faded, feeling as if punched in the heart.
