Chapter 837: Chapter 836: Teach Me for a Lifetime

Seeing her so guilty and upset, crying so heartbreakingly, Damian Sinclair only felt heartache.

Bella Acker cried until she was out of breath, sobbing and burying her head in his embrace, muffled, "Did you want me to always misunderstand you?"

"If it means you won’t be sad, I’d rather you misunderstand me," Damian Sinclair gently caressed her back to soothe her.

"Don’t you know that misunderstandings accumulate and become impossible to unravel?" Bella Acker cried, "I admit I used to be weak, with you always protecting me. But it’s different now; you don’t have to protect me like this anymore. I can bear everything with you together."

"Okay, from now on, no matter what happens, I’ll discuss it with you and won’t hide anything. Is it okay to stop crying now?" Damian Sinclair reached out to pat her, saying, "I just took a shower, and now I’m covered in your tears. I’ll have to shower again later."

Is this the time to be concerned about having to shower again?

Bella Acker was speechless, but she couldn’t help breaking into a smile amid tears.

She cried and laughed, giving his chest a playful punch, saying, "President Sinclair, has anyone ever told you? You’re really not good at comforting people."

"Besides you, I’ve never comforted anyone else," Damian Sinclair’s eyes carried a smile as he wiped her tears with his thumb, saying, "Well, maybe you can teach me how to comfort people in the future?"

"I can teach you, sure, but I’ll charge tuition," Bella Acker had mostly released her emotions, calming down and stopping her tears.

"Alright, charge as much as you want," Damian Sinclair agreed very accommodatingly.

"Okay, I’ll charge nine hundred thousand," Bella Acker said, "Coincidentally, I’m short nine hundred thousand for the house, so I won’t pay it."

"Really?" Damian Sinclair’s eyes lit up, his usually composed face showing a hint of surprise.

"What’s up? President Sinclair, are you so wealthy that you think my nine hundred thousand is too little?" Bella Acker glanced at him sideways.

"It’s just too low," Damian Sinclair smiled, yet kept a serious expression, "Ms. Acker gets eighty thousand for each episode, to teach me how to comfort someone for a lifetime and only charge nine hundred thousand is indeed too low. Adding three more zeros wouldn’t be too much."

Bella Acker blushed and turned away, muttering softly, "Who said I’d teach you for a lifetime, shameless."

"Alright, not a lifetime. Teaching for sixty or seventy years should do, too."

Making it sixty or seventy years, they’d both become elderly by then. He sure knows how to make a wishful plan.

Bella Acker returned his look with a disdainful glance, "President Sinclair, I’m just setting a clear price; don’t overthink it. Who’s going to teach you for sixty or seventy years? Am I not going to marry and take care of my husband and kids? You’re dreaming."

"Ms. Acker, besides being your student, I can also moonlight as your husband. Might as well seriously consider it?"

"Who wants... mm..."

Bella Acker was about to instinctively refute him, but before she could finish the sentence, her protest was silenced by his kiss.

Damian Sinclair wrapped an arm tightly around her waist, and the other hand clasped her nape, deepening the kiss.

Bella Acker stood on tiptoes and clung to his shoulder, closing her eyes in response.

The warm water in the bathroom was still running, and the warm steam gradually surrounded them.

Damian Sinclair’s hand slipped into her shirt, this time not stopped.

The intense kissing and the surrounding warmth caused both their body temperatures to rise.
