Warm Married Life: Mr. President Loves His Darling Wife-Chapter 279 - 278: His Ruthless Heart

Bella Acker clutched her phone and rolled back and forth in bed for a long time, still feeling a bit bothered.

She quietly poked her head out of the blanket to take a look, discovering that Ms. Cheney was already asleep, then she withdrew back into the covers and dialed Damian Sinclair’s phone.

It’s been over half an hour, he should be done talking with someone by now.

The phone was dialed, first there was a silence, followed by a mechanical prompt.

"The number you are dialing is currently on a call, please try again later..."

Bella Acker was stunned for a moment, how could it still be on a call?

Knowing Damian, he would never talk on the phone with someone for this long.

Could it be... her number had been blacklisted by him?

The moment this thought popped up, Bella Acker’s heart ached.

The hotel where they were staying didn’t have a landline in the room. Bella Acker poked her head out of the blanket and whispered, "Ms. Cheney, are you asleep?"

"Not yet." Sharon Cheney turned her head to look at her, "What’s wrong? Can’t sleep?"

"Yes."

Sharon Cheney said, "Come and sleep with me."

"Okay." She felt awful and didn’t want to be alone.

Bella Acker climbed into Ms. Cheney’s bed and lay beside her, "Ms. Cheney, could I borrow your phone for a bit?"

Sharon Cheney turned around and took the phone charging on the bedside table and handed it to her, thoughtfully unlocking it.

Bella Acker took the phone, opened the contacts, and hesitated for a while on the number pad before entering Damian’s number.

Having entered the number, she didn’t have the courage to press the dial button.

If... if Damian was not talking to someone, and really just put her number on the blacklist, what should she do then?

He wanted to break off cleanly and completely, so would she still be able to find him later or have the chance to explain the photo?

Or even if she explained, would it matter to him by then?

Bella Acker was very hesitant, even afraid to hear the phone connect.

Sharon Cheney saw her pause for a long time and couldn’t help but ask, "Is this President Sinclair’s number?"

"Yes." Bella Acker nodded softly, "I called him and it kept saying the line was busy, I want to see if he put my number on the blacklist."

"Then try it." Sharon Cheney said, "If you don’t get an answer, you probably won’t sleep well tonight."

"Okay." Bella Acker pressed her lips tightly and finally pressed dial.

She gingerly placed the phone to her ear, feeling both fearful and expectant inside.

Hoping to hear his voice, fearing he really put her number on the blacklist.

After a brief silence, the phone connected with a series of beeping tones.

Bella Acker suddenly gripped the phone tightly, her eyes wide open, tears instantly welled up.

He really put her number on the blacklist, how could he end their relationship so decisively, without any reluctance at all?

After three rings, the call connected, Damian Sinclair’s cold voice came from the other end, "Hello."

"Damian, it’s me." Bella Acker’s tight grip on the phone was the only way she could suppress her sobs to say the words.

"Ms. Acker?" Damian Sinclair, upon recognizing her voice, seemed two degrees colder in his tone, "I believe I’ve already said everything that needs to be said to Ms. Acker. As compensation, the apartment in the city center has been accepted by Ms. Acker."

"Compensation?" Bella Acker felt as if there was something wrong with her ears, struggling to understand the meaning behind his words.
