Bea looked around the living room and said, "Bella, you’re not living here anymore?"
"I’ve been really busy lately, no ti to co back." Bella Acker said, "Make yourself comfortable, I’ll go boil so water."
"What have you been busy with?" Bea asked.
Bella Acker paused, took the kettle to the kitchen to boil water, saying nothing.
Bea gently rubbed Ethan beside her and said softly, "Ethan, I need to talk to Bella. Can you wait for us in the living room?"
"Okay." Ethan nodded understandingly, took a picture book out of his little bag, and went to the coffee table to do his howork.
Bea glanced at him before heading to the kitchen.
Bella Acker washed the kettle clean and started boiling water, then asked, "Bea, what do you want to talk to about?"
Bea hesitated for a mont and said, "It’s still about my brother. I want to ask you to go see him."
Bella Acker heard this, subconsciously clenched her hand at her side, and after a mont said in a low voice, "Didn’t you all prefer I didn’t see Damian anymore?"
"Yes." Bea admitted frankly, "I consider you a friend, but he’s my brother, so of course, I have a bias toward him. And I think he’s in too much pain being torn between things, it’d be better to end it cleanly. But I underestimated my brother’s persistence; he isn’t the kind to be easily influenced by others. Even though my mom is with him every day and has taken his phone, he hasn’t compromised."
"Has he made a decision?" Bella Acker asked cautiously, her voice trembling slightly, "Choose , or not choose ?"
"I don’t know." Bea frowned, "Honestly, my brother’s been a bit scary lately, I don’t even dare to provoke him. My mom doesn’t let him go to the office, and as soon as he leaves the house, she cries and threatens to take her own life. So my brother has no choice but to stay ho drinking every day, and it hurts to watch."
Bella Acker lowered her eyelids, "Since Mrs. Sinclair is always by Damian’s side, how could I possibly see him?"
"Since I’ve co to ask you to et my brother, I’ll naturally make arrangents." Bea said, "Bella, I’m here to know your feelings. Are you willing to see my brother?"
Are you willing to see Damian?
In tis like these, when she’s exhausted from running around, is she still willing to see Damian?
The truth is, she probably is.
She really wants to throw herself into his arms and tell him Aunt Sienna is leaving, and soon she’ll have no more relatives.
She wants to say she’s so tired, sotis when she lies in bed, she just wishes she could sleep and never wake up. But Aunt Sienna needs her care, Ethan needs her care too. She not only can’t collapse, but she has to act invulnerable.
If even she collapses, what will happen to Aunt Sienna? What will happen to Ethan?
But she’s really so tired, she desperately wishes there was soone who could give her a hug. Not to rely on, just a place where she can rest would be enough.
Bella Acker thought, finally nodding, "Okay, I’ll go see Damian."
"Alright, as long as you say so, I’ll make the arrangents, wait for my call tomorrow." Bea said, taking out her phone, "Oh, right, give your phone number again, my mom deleted all the info related to you from my phone. And you, not even calling once really." Speaking at the end, she seed to be complaining that Bella Acker wasn’t being much of a friend.
She just didn’t know Bella Acker had been so busy lately that she hadn’t slept a sound sleep, let alone had ti to call.
