Chapter 158
“Thanks.” Stephanie took the box Kevin handed over without looking at him.
She walked away with Dominick.
Kevin stood stiffly. He watched them leave. His face was gloomy. He pressed his lips tightly.
Kevin wanted to say something. But he knew it would be in vain. He felt some bitterness in his heart.
“Dominick, how much better do you know her than I do?” Kevin muttered in anger.
“What’s in the wooden box?”
Dominick and Stephanie got into the car. Dominick kept frowning and looking out the window with a complicated expression. Stephanie didn’t say anything. They were both very quiet.
The car drove smoothly back to Wellington Villa. The driver felt that the atmosphere between Dominick and Stephanie was very solemn.
He looked up at the rearview mirror. Dominick had a gloomy expression. Stephanie lowered her head and checked the box. She was a little excited. She didn’t notice Dominick’s bad mood.
“What are these?”
Dominick turned his head. He vaguely saw that Stephanie was holding some small gadgets from the wooden box. They didn’t look like valuables. They were rather old.
But Stephanie carefully examined the small objects with both hands. Her movements were very cautious. Dominick could tell that Stephanie treasured them
very much.
“Nothing,” Stephanie replied.
Stephanie looked guilty. She immediately put away her things.
The car continued to move forward steadily and quickly. Dominick and Stephanie didn’t seem to have many topics to discuss. They became quiet again.
Dominick narrowed his eyes. He stared at Stephanie for a while.
Stephanie frowned slightly and looked a little absent–minded. She glanced at the wooden box from time to time as if she were reminiscing about some old things. Dominick thought, ‘I felt that Steffi would ask about what I and Kevin talked about. But to my surprise, she didn’t.
‘I actually didn’t know her that well,”
Dominick felt annoyed. He stared at the scenery speeding away outside the car window.
They were so quiet. Suddenly a cell phone rang
Stephanie was startled for a moment. She took out the phone from her bag. She saw the telephone number. Stephanie was hesitant to answer it.
“It’s from your aunt.”
Dominick saw the number. He reminded Stephanie in a deep voice,
“Yes, I know.”
Stephanie responded. She didn’t look at Dominick. Her voice sounded nervous. She immediately pressed the answer button.
“I just went to the nursing home. I’m already on the highway. They said you went out, Who did you go out with?”
Stephanie was talking to Diana on the phone. Dominick pressed his lips slightly and looked at her. He felt that Stephanie was a little strange.
“Aunt Diana, how are you feeling lately?”
Stephanie greeted as usual. But the next second, she looked surprised. She raised her voice to ask, “What? Your heart surgery is over. Why didn’t the people at the nursing home notify me?” Stephanie looked at Dominick in confusion.
Dominick could hear the content of their conversation. Facing Stephanie’s confused expression, he also frowned.
“Did you arrange it?” Stephanie remembered that the Wellington family had promised to help Diana with her medical treatment.
Dominick did not answer. His expression became increasingly gloomy.
Chapter 158
“Steffi, you don’t have to worry about me from now on. The operation was successful. I asked the people in the nursing home to keep it a secret for me.
“I wanted to tell you in person. But you’ve been saying you were too busy to come over in the past six months. During this period, a very good doctor came here,” Diana said.
