Warm Married Life: Mr. President Loves His Darling Wife

Chapter 438 - 437: Who Matters More—Mom or Girlfriend?

They encountered a dilemma that seemed impossible to resolve.

Is a mother more important, or a girlfriend more important?

And the matter Damian mentioned about twenty years ago. What exactly happened twenty years ago?

Bella Acker’s mind was spinning, with thoughts emerging one after another, making it impossible for her to sort them out.

She vividly remembered the moment Damian pushed her away, the dull ache in her heart.

She seemed to want to reach out and hold onto him, but she knew she couldn’t.

Archer Quinn sat beside her, hesitated for a moment, and then reached out to gently rub her head, speaking softly: "Don’t think too much, drink the glucose first, your stomach will feel uncomfortable later."

"Senior Quinn, thank you for earlier. If it weren’t for you being there, I might have... might have embarrassed myself," Bella Acker murmured, her lips tightly pressed together.

"Silly girl, did you forget we’re good friends?" Archer Quinn smiled, "There’s no need to be so polite between friends, and I didn’t do much."

Bella Acker tried to force a smile, but unexpectedly, tears streamed down her face.

Archer Quinn felt a pang of heartache, rested her head on his shoulder, and said, "If you feel upset inside, just cry it out. Don’t hold back."

"Wuwuwu, I don’t want it to be like this either," Bella Acker sobbed, "I know I’m being useless this way, but I just can’t control myself. I love him, don’t want to lose him, but I’m already slowly losing him. This is different from arguing and conflicts; it can’t be reconciled, wuwuwu..."

If liking someone could be controlled, maybe it wouldn’t be true love.

Just like him.

He knew full well her heart already belonged to someone else, yet still couldn’t control his own burgeoning feelings. He wanted her, wanted to see her, wanted to protect and pamper her, not let her suffer any grievances. Seeing her tears made him heartbroken, he wished he could grab the person who upset her and give them a beating.

He knew there was no outcome, but still felt happy and expectant seeing her, while also always despondent and bitter.

A grown man, yet like a naïve boy seeing his crush. It’s laughable to say out loud.

Archer Quinn concealed his bitterness, gently patted her shoulder to comfort her, "Since you love him so much, let go and pursue him fearlessly. If you don’t even have the courage to retain your love, then you won’t even have the right to regret and feel remorse."

"Is it really possible?" Bella Acker raised her tearful eyes to ask.

Archer Quinn smiled warmly, "Of course, bravely pursue it." My girl.

The last phrase churned over and over in his heart, the bitterness and despondency only he could understand.

"But..." Bella Acker hesitated herself, "But I’m afraid my actions will burden Damian, make him torn between Mrs. Sinclair and me. I don’t want him to feel troubled."

"If he loves you, he’ll be glad to see you striving for him." Archer Quinn continued to encourage her.

Bella Acker bowed her head, pressed her lips, and after a while, spoke softly: "What if he doesn’t love me that much, and it’s all just wishful thinking on my part? If it were another woman interested in him, I’d sure have confidence, but this is his closest family..."

Listening to her speak softly, Archer Quinn suddenly felt very envious of Damian Sinclair.

Why could he make Bella so torn for him, letting her choose to endure sadness alone rather than making him uncomfortable.

Shouldn’t such a problem be one for men to solve?
