Chapter 798: Chapter 797: Favoritism Breaks the Heart (Part 4)

Facing the girl’s worried gaze, Bella softened her expression, reached out to rub her head, and said, "It’s fine, let’s go have dinner."

"Yeah, yeah, if we don’t like someone, we just ignore them." The little girl nodded.

Bella smiled, and Damian drove off, glancing at Bella from the corner of his eye.

Bella knew he was looking at her but didn’t want to speak, so she turned to look out the car window.

The journey was silent, except for the sound of Talia and Ethan talking in the back seat.

Arriving at the reserved Thai restaurant, the waitress led them to a private room. Damian ordered with the girl while Bella put down her bag and said, "I’m going to the restroom."

Damian put down the menu, looked at Bella’s departing figure from the room, and said, "Ms. Cheney, I’m going too."

"Okay, then I’ll order with Talia and Ethan first." Sharon nodded, gesturing with her eyes for him to go talk to Bella.

After the incident with Aunt Rhodes, and digging up old grievances, Bella’s mood was indeed a little off.

Since returning to the country, Damian had changed his attitude from before and pursued her. She admitted she couldn’t forget him and unknowingly indulged in his pursuit, seemingly deliberately ignoring the persistent issues.

There remained unsolvable knots between them, and she couldn’t control her heart from being moved by him once more.

Is everything going to return to how it was when she left five years ago?

Impossible. She has Talia now, and she won’t let Damian know Talia’s identity, nor does she want to stir up the decades-old grievances with The Sinclair Family.

As for Damian...

Bella stood at the sink, unconsciously clenching her fist.

"Are you thinking about how to push me away, to give up on me again?" Damian stood behind her, looking at her deeply through the mirror.

Bella was startled, and suddenly raised her head.

Their eyes met in the mirror, Bella paused, lowered her gaze, the corner of her mouth slowly curved into a smile, "President Sinclair really knows how to joke. We have no relationship, how could there be talk of pushing away and giving up?"

"Really no relationship?"

"Alright, we can be considered ordinary friends." Bella said, lowering her head to turn on the faucet and wash her hands.

"Ordinary friends?" Damian squinted slightly, "Ms. Acker would kiss and sleep with ordinary friends?"

Bella’s washing hands froze, she let out a disguised chuckle and said, "Mr. Sinclair, we’re all adults with desires. I just happen to be temporarily without a man by my side, and you happen to be handsome, well-built, and have decent skills in bed, so why would I reject it? But it was just having sex once or twice, what’s the big deal?"

Saying this, she turned to look at Damian, still with a flirtatious and ambiguous smile, looking every bit like a seductive woman game in the world of romance.

Damian stared directly at her, unable to find a flaw in her expression, as if she really was that kind of woman and really thought the way she said.

Had Damian not known Bella’s true nature, he might have been furious by now.

But seeing her put on this act, he was still extremely, extremely dissatisfied.

Suddenly, Damian reached out and grabbed Bella’s wrist. Bella’s eyes widened, and before she could react, he had already pulled her into the women’s restroom, shutting them into a stall with a bang.

"What...what are you doing?!"
