Damian climbed into the car without a word, placed the Wintergreen Flower on the back seat, and then started the car, driving away slowly.
Bella glanced at the Wintergreen Flower on the back seat and couldn’t help but ask, "Damian, you didn’t throw it away, did you forget about it?"
Damian focused on driving and did not answer.
Bella’s lips uncontrollably started to curl up into a smile.
With Damian’s character, not denying sothing ans admitting it.
So he didn’t throw the flower away!
Bella’s mood suddenly improved a lot. She couldn’t help but sneak a peek at Damian’s expression.
Although his face was still expressionless and cold, at this mont, she didn’t find it as hurtful anymore.
Feeling sowhat happy, Bella clutched her fingers, unable to suppress her growing smile.
Damian gave her a cold sidelong glance and asked, "Where are you going?"
"Ah?" Bella was stunned, a bit slow to react.
Damian said, "I’m asking where you’re staying tonight."
"Stay..." Bella hadn’t really thought about where to stay. After a pause, she said, "Stay at the welfare institution. Damian, you can drop in the city, and I’ll take a cab back to the welfare institution."
Damian ignored her and at the crossroad, he turned the car right, towards the welfare institution.
Bella pursed her lips, moved her lips trying to say sothing to break the awkward silence between them.
"Damian, are... are you still going abroad?" As soon as she asked this, Bella wanted to knock herself twice. Silly, why couldn’t she talk about sothing better? She just had to ask this question.
Back then, when Damian went abroad for a business trip, even if it wasn’t entirely due to their breakup, it certainly had so connection.
Clearly, their relationship was already strained enough, yet she chose to bring this up! Might as well be stupid.
Bella frowned in frustration, trying to salvage the situation, hurriedly saying, "I..."
Just as she was about to speak, Damian interrupted, "This is my private matter and has nothing to do with Ms. Acker."
See! Not only did he kill the conversation with one sentence, he also made the atmosphere between them even more tense.
"Oh." Bella responded softly with her head lowered, afraid to speak indiscriminately again.
Because she feared hearing more heart-piercing words from his mouth.
His ruthlessness and unfeeling nature, she truly experienced it this ti.
The whole way, neither of them spoke another word, and the car finally stopped quietly at the entrance of the welfare institution in the night.
When the car stopped, Bella didn’t rush to get out, and Damian seed to forget to urge her to get out. They just sat in the car silently, neither saying a word, the atmosphere sowhat subtle.
Finally, it was the vibration of a phone that broke the silence.
Bella jumped in surprise, then fished her phone out from her pocket, glanced at the caller ID, and answered, "Hello, Senior Quinn."
Hearing this na, translucent anger rose in Damian’s eyes.
He suddenly tightened his grip on the steering wheel and, regardless of Bella being on the call, he said in a deep voice, "Ms. Acker, I have sothing to attend to, please get out."
Bella’s expression froze for a mont.
On the other end of the call, Archer Quinn heard a man’s voice beside her and furrowed his brow, "Bella, is there soone else next to you?"
"Mm." Bella responded softly, turned to glance at Damian’s cold face, hesitated and said, "An acquaintance."
Listening to this, Damian’s face instantly turned colder, and the atmosphere around him beca much more chilling.
