Chapter 108
“Where are you going?” Molly was so drunk that she became bolder. She grabbed Stephanie’s arm with both hands and refused to let her go. “Stephanie, the grudge between us is not over yet. You can’t leave.”
Stephanie looked at Molly, who was actually drunk and crazy, trying to talk some sense into her. “I’ll explain it to you torfiorrow. Now…”
“Don’t pel Don’t gol” Molly acted unreasonably. “Stephanie, tell me when you hooked up with my boss.”
“She wants to go home and rest.” A low voice came from behind them. It was Dom
Dominick.
Molly froze, looking at the stern face in front of her with blurred eyes, and let go of Stephanie’s hand as if it were her instinctive reaction.
“Molly drank too much tonight.” Stephanie looked back and felt a little worried about Molly.
However, Dominick, who was standing behind, was expressionless. He stared at Stephanie coldly, which made her feel a chill on her back.
Stephanie immediately ignored Molly. Dominick had already asked the people in the villa to take care of Molly, and no one would hurt her.
“Don’t strengthen yourself to help others,” Dominick reminded calmly.
Stephanie pressed her lips, wanting to retort to him, but she finally chose to remain silent.
She thought, ‘In Dominick’s eyes, most people are probably just ‘others. How many people could he really care about?”
They walked out of Blossom Club. It was past 10 o’clock in the night. Lights flickered in the bustling alleys. Stephanie and Dominick walked side by side. Under the warm light, their long shadows depended on each other, revealing a rare harmony and warmth.
Stephanie locked down at their shadows on the ground. It was quiet around, and her heart was beating faster for no reason. It was rare for her to take a walk with him like this.
Perhaps after they walked out of this alley, Dominick would ask the driver to pick them up. Suddenly, Stephanie hoped that this alley would be longer so that she could walk with him for a little longer…
Suddenly, she felt something on her shoulders. Startled, she looked up at the man to her left.
Dominick put his black suit jacket on her shoulders. He acted naturally and strengthened the suit jacket for her. “Don’t move.”
The suit jacket gave her warmth, carrying his body temperature.
Stephanie didn’t refuse. Maybe it was because the street lights were dim, leaving a dreamlike blush on her face.
“Dominick.” She still lowered her head, looking at their shadows, which were leaning on each other on the ground, and asked in a low voice, “Why did you come to the school to be an assistant teacher that year?”
Dominick raised an eyebrow and looked sideways at her slightly red cheeks.
Stephanie looked shy. She was completely different from the first time he met her, who had left a deep impression on him at that time.
That year, his father passed away, and Dominick came back from Aurorastra to attend the funeral. He had not been back for so long that the Wellington family made him feel very strange and irritated.
Chapter 108
That day, he went to Caelorium to meet a good friend. He wore casual clothes and white headphones, listening to music while walking casually,
At sunset, the alley in front of the Elite High School of Caclorium looked deserted. In the dim sunset, the fallen leaves fell outside the walls of the school opposite, creating a rather gloomy atmosphere.
Dominick had never imagined that under the locust tree at the corner, a girl suddenly appeared.
She broke into his world unexpectedly, and her soft and warm body fell into his arms.
The afterglow of sunset had a hazy beauty, and he looked at her. At that moment, he was stunned.
A strange thought flashed through his mind, Dominick thought he had met the angel in Bouguereau’s painting.
“Hey, be careful when you’re walking!” However, the next second, the girl’s voice brought him back to his senses. She quickly climbed up from him and did not apologize to him. Instead, she complained first.
Dominick was about to speak, but the girl didn’t even look at him and just ran away.
He straightened his clothes, stood under the locust tree, and looked at her running figure. Her that she was actually very nervous but just pretended to be calm.
er steps were
little hasty, and then he realized
It was hard to describe the feeling. It was a little conflicted and a little hesitant. Dominick became even more irritable during those days, and that figure kept coming into his mind.
He just couldn’t forget her. Suddenly, he really wanted to see her again.
He didn’t know why but just really wanted to see her.
“I don’t know.” The street lights were dim, and the night was quiet. Dominick suddenly turned around, put his hands on Stephanie’s shoulders, and looked straight at her with his deep eyes. He whispered, “Stephanie…”
Stephanie was a little stunned. She asked Dominick why he had gone to the school to be an assistant teacher, but he said he didn’t know.
She looked at him and saw him bending down and getting closer to her. Her heartbeat was a little disordered, and she froze. He gently kissed
her.
The kiss wasn’t as intent as usual, but it was very cautious.
“Don’t…” Stephanie blushed, and her heart was pounding. She pushed Dominick away nervously.
Dominick suddenly stopped kissing her and looked into her eyes. They were so close that their breaths were entangled.
“Stephanie, don’t forget that you are my wife now. How long are you going to make me wait?”
He looked angry, but Stephanie didn’t understand.
Dominick didn’t know what he was angry about. He had a cold face and turned to leave without saying anything, leaving Stephanie leaning against the wall and staring at his back in a date.
“Hey! Hey, Dominick!” Feeling the rising nervousness, Stephanie followed him anxiously.
Chapter 108
But Dominick walked quickly. She could not catch up with him and felt a little aggrieved and angry. She acted willfully and sat down in the alley. “Dominick, my feet hurt.”
Dominick, who was walking ahead, suddenly stopped. He turned around and looked at her with a slight daze in his deep eyes.
Stephanie actually sat on the road, “What’s going on?” Dominick hurriedly walked back to her.
She puffed up her face and dared not look up at him, muttering, “My feet are swollen and cramped.”
Perhaps Stephanie walked too much today. Women would have swollen feet and cramps during pregnancy. Although she said exaggeratedly, she wasn’t lying.
“Hey, what are you doing? It’s so embarrassing. Put me down! Put me down!” Stephanie looked embarrassed, struggling and shouting.
“Stephanie!” Dominick carried her, stared at the woman in his arms, and warned her.
Stephanie froze and then immediately stopped struggling.
Dominick was 6.1 feet in height. He liked boxing and fighting. He carried her easily and walked steadily.
In his arms, Stephanie blushed, and she couldn’t ignore the feeling of security in her heart. It seemed that as long as he was around her, she didn’t have to be afraid of anything.
“Her husband is so cool. Honey, carry me in your arms! Hurry up!
“Baby, you are heavy. You should lose some weight first. I can’t carry you.”
A couple on the other side of the road looked at Stephanie and Dominick. The woman glared at her husband and was quite dissatisfied with his refusal. “You are not strong. You actually have the nerve to say that! How could I have fallen in love with you? Humph!”
The man immediately coaxed his wife, “Baby, that woman must be a feminist, Look at that man. He looks so… Well, he must be a gigolo. Baby, I’m different from that man. I support you.”
Stephanie looked at the couple on the opposite side of the road, and she suddenly blushed.
“Dominick, put me down. I can walk. There are a lot of people watching us,” she whispered.
The arms around her tightened slightly, and Dominick stared at her for a while before saying unhappily, “Oh, Stephanie, you actually
blushed.”
It was the first time that Stephanie heard his teasing words. She widened her eyes in surprise and looked a little dazed.
Looking at her in a daze, Dominick suddenly felt a little annoyed. He didn’t know whether he was angry at his stupid behavior in the past or at Stephanie for being too dull.
“Stephanie, it’s troublesome to take care of you.” His voice was low, revealing a little anger but more helplessness.
When they reached the end of the alley, there were more and more people around. Stephanie buried her head in Dominick’s chest and put her arms around his neck. She really didn’t want to let him go.
