Chapter 776: Chapter 775: The Ruse of Self-Sacrifice (9)

The next morning, when Bella woke up, the bed beside her was already empty. She reached out and felt it; there wasn’t even any warmth left.

"When did you leave?" Bella frowned as she sat up and noticed a small food box on the coffee table with a sticky note on it.

Bella rubbed her temples and got out of bed, feeling sore in her waist and her legs shaky. She blushed as she thought about what happened last night.

It was supposed to be just a simple birthday celebration for him, but somehow, they ended up in bed together.

Supporting her back, Bella walked over and tore the sticky note off the food container.

"I have a 5 AM flight back to Creston and a meeting at 9 AM. The porridge on the table is made by me, remember to eat it when you get up."

A 9 AM important meeting, and he still flew over here last night?

Looking at the sticky note, Bella couldn’t help but smile a little, feeling inexplicably happy.

"Flying over at night and leaving early in the morning, he spent less time here than he did on the plane. Isn’t that tiring," Bella muttered, opening the food box.

The container was insulated, and when she opened it, the side dishes inside were still steaming hot.

Bella took out the side dishes and porridge, tasted them, and confirmed it was indeed Damian’s cooking.

"Knock, knock!" The door sounded; Bella adjusted her nightgown before going to open the door.

Judy Zimmerman came in carrying breakfast she bought, smiling, "Bella, good morning, let’s have breakfast." She said as she walked into the room.

But as she walked in, she saw the porridge and side dishes on the coffee table and looked a bit confused, "Bella, did you go out to buy breakfast this morning?"

Bella touched her nose, "Yes... yes I did. There’s plenty, and it tastes great, you should have some too."

Judy squinted her eyes, "Bella, is this really the breakfast you bought outside?"

"Of... of course it is. Just eat it if you’re hungry." Bella handed a bowl of porridge to Judy, urging her to eat quickly.

Judy felt Bella was lying, looked at her suspiciously, and scooped a spoonful of porridge into her mouth. Her eyes widened instantly, "It’s so delicious!"

"I told you it’s great, hurry up and eat." Bella sat down to drink her porridge and only relaxed secretly when she saw Judy busy eating.

She really didn’t know how to explain that Damian came over last night, especially since they ended up in bed together, making her feel awkward, nervous, and shy inside.

As it turned out, all of the breakfast prepared by Damian was eaten, while the breakfast Judy brought was left untouched and rejected.

After breakfast, they joined the rest of the crew and headed to the airport together to their next promotional location.

Promoting the new play was exhausting. Bella ran around the country for over half a month before she finally finished the promotion and returned to Creston.

As she exited the airport, Bella expected no one to notice her as usual, but surprisingly, ten or so fans rushed over as soon as she came out, holding plush toys and flowers as gifts for her.

"Bella, we heard you fainted from exhaustion during the promotion in Yarvin? Don’t overwork yourself, remember to rest. We can wait for you."

"Yeah, Bella, take good care of yourself."

"Bella, this is a plush toy I made for you!"

"Bella, these are cranberry cookies I baked for you..."

The fans expressed their concern for Bella’s health as they handed her their small gifts, busy taking photos with their phones. Someone almost tripped, and Bella immediately reached out to help them.
