Warm Married Life: Mr. President Loves His Darling Wife

Chapter 480 - 479: Let Go

Bella Acker felt a hollow ache in her heart; all she wanted now was to escape from here quickly.

"Wait!" Damian Sinclair suddenly sat up and grabbed her wrist. "It’s not what you think."

Bella turned to look at him, "Not what I think? Is it that Mrs. Sinclair didn’t ask you to marry Cecilia Lynch, or is it that you didn’t sleep with Cecilia Lynch?"

Damian watched tears welling up in her eyes, unsure of how to respond.

Because his mother did mention him marrying Cecilia Lynch, and the day he woke up drunk, Cecilia Lynch was in his bed, but he couldn’t remember what happened that night.

Damian frowned in frustration; the original issues hadn’t been resolved, and now new problems emerged, which weren’t easily fixable misunderstandings.

Bella gave a bitter smile and reached out to pry his fingers off her wrist. "Let go!"

"No!" Damian said coldly, "I won’t let go!"

"You won’t let go? Then what should I do?" Bella’s tears brimmed over, "Your mother doesn’t like me, no matter how I try to please her, it’s useless. You won’t break ties with your family for me, and I don’t want to make trouble with your relatives. What can I do? I can only wrong myself, repeatedly telling myself to trust you, believe that you can definitely find a solution, believe that you won’t give up. When you asked me to wait, I waited obediently, not daring to disturb you, fearing that you’d be torn. When I saw Bella’s text, I just wanted to fly to you immediately, my heart wouldn’t rest. When none of you answered my calls, I was thinking on the plane, what if something really happened to you? Just the thought of that possibility made my heart ache. I told myself, even if your mother kicks me out of the hospital room this time, I will stay by your side, I don’t want to lose you."

Bella, with tears in her eyes, looked at Damian accusingly and continued, "I came. But what awaited me was your sarcasm and the news, from another woman flaunting to my face, that you two had been to bed. I so desperately wanted you to tell me she was lying, that nothing happened between you two. Even if it was self-deception, as long as you said it, I would believe you. What was the outcome then?"

Damian frowned, "It’s not what you think, Cecilia and I..."

"Enough! Damian, it’s really enough." Bella shook her head with tears, "Now, every time I close my eyes, I think of you being with Cecilia, and I can’t be as magnanimous as others. If it were you, could you pretend nothing happened knowing I slept with someone else?"

Of course not! He might be unable to suppress his anger and kill the man who invaded her body!

The deeper the love, the stronger the desire to possess, and the more selfish it becomes!

"See, you can’t do it either." Bella tried to smile, but tears slipped into the corners of her mouth first, the bitter taste was just like her heart now, making it impossible to even muster a self-deprecating smile.

The two fell into silence, and after a while, Damian spoke, "I’ll handle the Cecilia Lynch situation and the family issues too. Wait for me."

Bella looked at him upon hearing this.

Wait for him, wait for him again. Does he know the feeling of waiting like a death sentence? Clearly knowing the hope is dim, yet still self-deceived.

Bella lowered her eyelids, gently shaking her head, "Damian, do you know? I’m so tired."
