Chapter 635 - 634: Reunion (30)
Bella Acker jogged up to him, slightly out of breath.
Before she could say anything, Damian Sinclair spoke first: "I didn’t bring my wallet, lend me a hundred bucks for a taxi, I’ll pay you back tomorrow."
"Didn’t I just tell you to take that taxi back?" Bella Acker was a bit speechless, and while speaking, she opened her wallet and handed him a hundred bucks.
Damian Sinclair took the hundred bucks, "The seat in that car is too small, it’s uncomfortable."
Of course, a taxi seat isn’t as comfortable as the seat of a luxury car that costs millions.
Bella Acker silently complained in her heart and said, "It’s late, you should take a taxi back."
Damian Sinclair looked at her and suddenly said, "You seem to have grown taller."
"What?" Bella was stunned and didn’t quite react at first.
"You seem to have grown a bit taller."
"Uh?" Bella understood and smiled, "Mr. Sinclair has good eyesight, I’ve grown five centimeters."
"It seems that not only foreign people, but even foreign food suits Ms. Acker better," Damian Sinclair sneered inexplicably and turned to walk towards the street, "I’ll pay you back the hundred bucks tomorrow."
"I should be the one thanking Mr. Sinclair for deliberately bringing me back, there’s no need to return the hundred bucks."
"So what does this hundred bucks count as? A tip?" Damian Sinclair turned around and looked at her sarcastically, "Ms. Acker is really generous."
His whole demeanor was like he was strapped with explosives, ready to go off at the slightest thing. If he so disliked talking to her and didn’t want to see her, why insist on bringing her back?
Bella Acker felt angry inside, yet her lips curled up into a smile, "I know Mr. Sinclair looks down on such a small tip, but I’m poor now. If there’s a chance in the future, I’ll give more when I have money."
Damian Sinclair’s face darkened. What does this damn woman take him for?
She was truly formidable! In the past, she could leave a few hundred bucks on the bed after sleeping with him, treating him like a gigolo. What does she take him for now?
"Bella Acker, you’ve got guts!" Damian Sinclair said through gritted teeth.
"Mr. Sinclair overpraises me, I’m just distinguishing between public and private matters." Bella Acker nodded with a smile, not afraid of him at all.
She distinguishes between public and private matters, so what do his actions count as? Is she mocking him?
In these five years, this damn woman has become more sharp-tongued!
Damian Sinclair’s emotions were churning inside, yet his facial expression didn’t change much, even appearing colder than before.
"I’ve learned from your words, Ms. Acker." With that, he no longer waited for Bella Acker’s response and walked away with big strides.
Bella Acker walked to the entrance of the community, watched him hail a taxi and leave before finally breathing a sigh of relief.
Damian, I have already buried our past feelings and don’t want to touch them again. Please... Please don’t provoke me anymore.
Bella Acker clutched her wallet, took a deep breath, and then turned back.
The next morning, Talia and Ethan were woken up.
The two children, having taken a long flight, went to bed early last night. But even so, when woken up this morning, they were a bit groggy and jet-lagged.
After having breakfast and getting in the car, Talia lazily snuggled in Bella Acker’s arms.
Ethan, seeing her still sleepy look, felt a bit sorry for her, "Talia, would you like to sleep a little more in Uncle’s arms?"
"Mommy said we have to adjust to the time, it’s not good to sleep more." Talia covered her mouth with a yawn, then turned and asked, "Grandma, how long until we get there?"
"We’re already here. Talia, look over there, do you see Grandpa waiting?"
