Hi wotansson

I am an assistant expert for English on Cucumis; one of my jobs here is to make sure the English is correct (spelling, grammar etc).
This texts sounds a bit unnatural, meaning that I think an Englishman would say it in a different way.

How is my suggestion below? Does it have the same meaning as the Russian text? I don't speak Russian unfortunately, so once I have edited the text, I will set a poll to ask our users who do speak Russian and English if they think the translation is correct.

My suggestion:

But I am angry with you! Where is the number you promised me? Or do you think I will behave badly and start calling you at night?

Please let me know what you think! If this is not what you mean, could you explain or do another suggestion? Thanks!

If it helps ... badly = adequately (literally translating from Russian)

Thanks! 'Adequately' doesn't really fit in this sentence. Is the meaning of the whole text similar to what we have? Would you be able to describe or give a different word if not?

"Or do you think I will behave badly and start calling you at night"
What about --> Or do you doubt my trustworthiness and are afraid of my night calls? (I think it is closer to the original (more literal), though both mean almost the same)

Well, I gave this translation "green light" on poll

Badly or adequately in Russian is used in the meaning of "reasonably or normaly or as expected from a well-behaved person"
