Warm Married Life: Mr. President Loves His Darling Wife-Chapter 17 - 16: Acting Cute and Adorable

Damian Sinclair still ignored her and went straight into the wardrobe.

Bella Acker followed him inside like a shadow, but Damian acted as if she didn’t exist. He untied his towel, picked up a pair of briefs and a pair of beige cotton-linen pants for home, and put them on, alongside a matching beige cotton-linen shirt.

Once dressed, he left the wardrobe and headed to his study, still ignoring her.

Bella Acker pouted and chased after him, saying, "Damian, if you’re really angry, you can hit me or scold me, but can you please just talk? It’s too scary when you’re silent."

Damian paused, finally stopping in his tracks, and turned around to glance at her.

Bella Acker immediately broke into a conciliatory smile.

Damian merely looked at her blankly, then turned back and continued walking towards the study.

Bella Acker followed him into the study, where Damian sat down at his desk, opened his computer, and took out several files to start working.

Bella Acker pouted and turned around to leave the study.

Damian put down his files and glanced at the study door, which hadn’t been fully closed. His handsome brows furrowed slightly before he redirected his focus back to work.

Soon, the door sounded again. Bella Acker had changed into a coral fleece bunny pajama set and wore pink bunny slippers, tiptoeing back inside.

Damian held a pen and looked up at her when he heard the noise.

Bella Acker hugged a book, raised her hand immediately, and said poutingly, "I promise not to make a sound, I definitely won’t disturb your work."

Damian glanced at her twice before turning his attention back to the files in front of him. His previously deep and inscrutable eyes finally softened a little.

Bella Acker stuck out her tongue slightly, walked to the sofa not far from the desk, took off her slippers, and sat cross-legged to start reading her book.

Tomorrow afternoon, she would have to audition again for the role of Hera, so she wanted to familiarize herself with the character.

But she’d had a hectic day. First, she went to the hospital after being provoked, then Damian had brought her back in a fit of fury, and later she rushed to the audition. Holding the book for just a short while, she began to yawn.

Damian heard the sound of her yawning and looked up at her. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Mid-yawn, Bella Acker froze and forced herself to hold it back, her eyes watering as she said, "I’m... I’m not bothering you."

"If you’re sleepy, go back to the bedroom and sleep," Damian finally spoke, though his expression remained cold, clearly not planning to forgive her so easily.

"I’m not sleepy," Bella Acker said cautiously. "I want to stay here with you; you do your thing and I’ll do mine. I need to study the new role. I have to audition again at three in the afternoon tomorrow."

Damian didn’t bother her anymore, turned his head back to the files, and planned to finish his work quickly and take her to bed.

But within less than ten minutes, he heard the cheerful sound of little snores.

Damian looked over and saw Bella Acker holding her book, her head tilted to one side, leaning against the back of the sofa, already asleep.

It’s always the same. She insists on staying in the study to accompany him while he works, yet ends up asleep shortly after, lacking patience and willpower.

Probably feeling a little itch on her cheek, Bella Acker, in her sleep, pouted and used the back of her hand to rub her tender pink cheek, grunting softly like a little pig before continuing to sleep.

Damian watched, feeling a deep sense of helplessness rise from within.

He seemed to let out a nearly inaudible sigh, then put down the files he was holding and walked over.
