Chapter 318 - 317: She Never Had Confidence in Herself Around Him
Bella Acker seemed a bit preoccupied.
Bea suddenly said, "By the way, did you talk to my brother about the photos online?"
Bella Acker was startled, "Didn’t you tell Damian?"
"No," Bea said, "I’ve been busy to death every day and don’t often call my brother, so I forgot to tell him. I thought you had already told him, so sometimes when I remembered, I didn’t bring it up again."
Bella Acker thought she would say it, she thought Bella Acker would say it, and in the end, neither of them said anything.
This was funny.
Bea tilted her head to look at Bella Acker, and Bella Acker also tilted her head to look at her.
"Bella Acker, as I said, you’re such a fool, I wasn’t wrong." Bea sighed, "No wonder my brother has been unhappy; he probably thought you were playing him by being two-timing. Tsk, my brother is so innocent, just like a naive young man, on one hand, he likes you and can’t let go, and on the other hand, he can’t get past his own hang-ups, stubbornly wrestling with himself."
"Really?" Bella Acker couldn’t quite imagine Damian being sullen all alone.
"Of course." Bea enjoyed gossiping about her brother very much, "It’s his birthday today, right? My mom invited a bunch of women around my brother’s age to our old family house for dinner, the idea being to set them up with my brother. On one hand, my brother doesn’t want my mom to be upset, but on the other, he’s very annoyed to have to deal with those women. His face was so sour that the women didn’t dare to approach him, afraid of getting frozen by the cold aura of ’stay away’ he was radiating. The scene was quite spectacular."
"Damian just isn’t good at expressing emotions; he’s actually a good person." Bella Acker couldn’t help but defend her love interest a little.
Bea rolled her eyes at her, "Apart from in front of you, when has my brother ever shown other women any kindness?"
Thinking carefully, it seems that’s true.
Bella Acker blushed a little with embarrassment, feeling a bit happy, but the thought of his heartless cruelty had her heart aching again.
His kindness to her is real, but his heartless cruelty is also real.
Bella Acker lowered her eyelashes to hide the sadness in her eyes.
Bea noticed she didn’t respond, so she brought the topic back to the scandalous photos, "Are you not planning to tell my brother about the photos?"
Upon hearing this, Bella Acker tightened her grip on the edge of the cup, and after a while, she said, "When I don’t mention it, I can still tell myself that the end of our relationship was due to a misunderstanding. But if I say it and he doesn’t care, then I won’t even have a reason to fool myself anymore."
"Wouldn’t it be better to explain everything clearly? Why deceive yourself?" Bea was a bit puzzled by her thinking.
Bella Acker pressed her lips together slightly and then said softly, "Because I’ve never had confidence in the idea that Damian really likes me. It’s like a pie falling from the sky; do you think it would land right on you? Moreover, pies never fall from the sky."
"Can’t you be a bit more confident in yourself?" Bea said, "Look at you, you’ve got the looks and the figure, and your personality is quite likable. Isn’t all that good?"
If she liked just a regular guy, she definitely wouldn’t be so insecure.
But Damian is not a regular guy. He’s from a privileged family, handsome, and outstandingly capable, wherever he goes, he is the center of attention. Standing next to him, she’s just one of the many admirers.
