Warm Married Life: Mr. President Loves His Darling Wife

Chapter 536: Chapter 535: Hospitality Without Refusal

Even though Damian Sinclair didn’t get up, he picked up the wine glass and drank the red wine in one gulp.

The words bubbling up to Director Simons’ lips had to be swallowed forcefully; he glanced at Archer Quinn, silently asking with his eyes, what’s going on?

Archer Quinn returned his gaze, mind your own business.

Director Simons snorted disdainfully, thinking to himself, if it weren’t for you taking a liking to this girl, do you think I’d be bothered with this? My good intentions are being treated like nonsense.

Archer also knew he hadn’t managed to conceal his emotions well, but seeing the interaction between Bella and Damian, he felt very frustrated inside.

The other people around also had a keen sense; seeing Damian Sinclair actually drink the wine Bella offered, they had their own understanding.

Yet no one pointed it out, and with Bella’s toast leading the way, others also took turns toasting Damian.

Who knows if Damian was in a bad mood or just feeling particularly sociable today.

No matter who offered a toast, he accepted every single one and drank very readily.

Bella had just finished the glass of wine and realized her action was a bit unusual. But in front of Damian, she really hadn’t reached the level where she could act indifferent and as if he didn’t exist.

After the toast, she just sat in her seat, eating in silence, mentally hoping everyone would act as if she didn’t exist.

"Bella, do you know President Sinclair?" a female actor sitting next to Bella leaned in to ask softly.

Bella was putting food into her mouth, paused at the question, and replied with her eyes lowered, "President Sinclair is also an investor in ’Brocade River and Mountain’. "

It wasn’t exactly a lie; Damian Sinclair was indeed an investor in ’Brocade River and Mountain’.

"Oh, I see." The female actor nodded, automatically interpreting her words to mean that since Damian Sinclair was an investor in ’Brocade River and Mountain’, he naturally had eaten with the crew, which explained how he knew Bella.

Since they knew each other, a bit more leniency was natural.

The female actor nodded, then whispered, "President Sinclair is both handsome and wealthy, Bella. You actually know him, do you know if he has a girlfriend?"

"Ouch!" Bella suddenly winced and drew a sharp breath.

"What’s wrong?" the female actor was taken aback.

Bella smiled and shook her head, "Nothing, I bit the inside of my mouth while chewing. I’m not that familiar with President Sinclair to know if he has a girlfriend."

The questioning actor thought for a moment, shrugged and said, "True. A man like President Sinclair probably has a very private life; it would be strange if others knew. Bella, here, let me toast you with a drink too."

"It’s me who should toast you." Bella picked up her refilled wine glass and clinked it lightly with the person next to her.

This time she didn’t drink it all in one go, only sipped a little.

The female actor then moved on to talk to others, while Bella put down her glass and resumed eating in silence.

Damian Sinclair listened sporadically to Director Simons and others talking, occasionally responding, but his eyes consistently noted Bella sitting in the corner of the table.

When he saw her face look even thinner than before, his brow furrowed imperceptibly.

Has she not been eating properly during filming? How did she get so thin? And since just now, she hasn’t spared him even a glance, not even when drinking the toast.

She really is something! Saying they’d cut ties, she’d really act as if he doesn’t exist!
