Chapter 64
Perhaps because so much had happened recently, Stephanie was a little tired. She had planned to take a nap on the plane, but in the end, she fell into a sound sleep and didn’t even know she was being carried off the plane and back to Wellington Villa.
It was already eight o’clock the following day when she woke up.
Stephanie was used to it. She opened her eyes and looked aside instinctively.
She looked a little awkward and surprised that Dominick hadn’t woken up yet.
They lay on the same bed and covered with the same quilt, and they had gotten the marriage certificate. However, when Stephanie looked at his face, which could make a woman obsessed, she was not happy at all.
Were they a couple?
Stephanie wasn’t sure, but she had figured out some things after she had suffered the bleeding in the hotel.
She was not worthy of Dominick
Carefully taking away Dominick’s hand on her waist, Stephanie moved and wanted to get out of bed quickly.
“Good morning.”
Dominick, who was lying beside her, suddenly opened his eyes, put his arms around her waist, and pulled her back.
“Morning…” Stephanie was pulled back into his arms. Her nose nuzzled his chest, and she tried to push him away nervously.
Dominick stared at her flushed profile.
She repelled him.
Since the bleeding Stephanie had suffered in the hotel in Caelorium, she had become much more well–behaved, but she had become increasingly alienated from Dominick.
“I’m a little hungry. I want to get up to eat,” Stephanie explained casually.
She was pregnant. The Wellington family valued the children in her belly.
Therefore, Dominick didn’t stop her. Seeing him letting go of her, Stephanie immediately got out of bed, went into the bathroom, and closed
the door.
Dominick didn’t stay abed. He had woken up a long time ago, but he just came back and didn’t want to be busy with business, so he thought it would be good to lie in bed with her like this.
He sat up and slightly frowned when he looked at the closed bathroom door.
After they washed up, they simply ate some breakfast and then went to the hall of Wellington Villa’s main house.
George was a little surprised when he saw Dominick coming with Stephanie, and he murmured in a good mood, “Is the company bankrupt?”
Stephanie had adapted to the way George and Dominick get along with each other. This strange and respected George was actually like an old child.
“Today is Saturday,” Dominick replied/calmly with a deadpan expression.

Chapter 64
“Mr. Wellington, you haven’t had a holiday since you returned from abroad and took over the company.”
Brad smiled and said to Dominick. While making coffee for them, he asked Stephanie with concern, “Mrs. Wellington, your blood type is RH. AB, right?”
Stephanie deliberately took the seat relatively far away from Dominick’s and nodded. “Yes.”
When she was in Caelorium, she was in a coma due to the bleeding. Fortunately, she hit the wrong button and called Kevin before she fainted. Kevin came in time, and he happened to have the RH–AB blood type. Otherwise, she would have died.
“Ask the hospital to prepare some blood for delivery,” George ordered Brad.
“I’ve taken care of this.”
Dominick glanced at Stephanie opposite and suddenly said.
George and Brad looked at each other. They were a little surprised that Dominick would care about such trivial matters.
Dominick didn’t say much. He seemed to be very busy. He stood up from the sofa and went to the study.
George and Brad knew that Dominick had stayed in Caelorium for a week, and alot of company affairs were waiting for his approval. Moreover, the next month was the 50th anniversary of the Innovate Group.

“I heard that you had suffered from the bleeding and fainted in the hotel in Caelorium. Kevin saved you in time…
George picked up a cup of coffee on the table and took a sip.
He continued to ask Stephanie, “Didn’t Dominick accompany you at that time? Why
hy didn’t you call him?”
Upon hearing George’s questions, Dominick slowed down a little as he walked up the stairs.
Stephanie was stunned, and her gaze became somewhat complex.
“The children are healthy…” She looked down and did not answer George.
George slightly raised an eyebrow. Seeing her expression, he knew that she didn’t want to mention what had happened that day.
Dominick, who was on the stairs, had a meaningful gaze and walked straight up the stairs.
“By the way, Mrs. Wellington, regarding Kevin’s wedding…”
Brad suddenly remembered something and looked at Stephanie with a somewhat strange expression. “Do you want to attend his wedding?”
Kevin was Dominick’s cousin, but he had a dubious relationship with Stephanie, his ex–wife. Moreover, Stephanie recently had an accident in Caelorium, and it was Kevin who had saved her…
“I will go if necessary, Stephanie looked calm and answered politely.
Brad felt that her attitude was much stranger than before, so he asked tentatively, “Mrs. Wellington, do you have any misunderstanding…”
Misunderstanding?
What misunderstanding could there be between her and Dominick….
“Jessica, have you and Dominick had any misunderstandings recently?

Chapter 64
“Jessica, it’s useless. Stop calling him.”
83%
Jessica was in a fancy restaurant. She wore brand name clothes and looked elegant, but she was very anxious. She kept calling the same
number but couldn’t get through.
Annie, her manager, sat opposite her, saying with an anxious look, “Dominick has blocked our phone numbers.”
Besides, the attitude of advertisers and filming crews toward them had recently become much colder….
“How could this be?”
Jessica looked angry and threw her phone to the floor.
“Hey, you look very upset. Have you been dumped?”
Courtney happened to be dining in this restaurant, striding towards Jessica with a smile, and her tone was dripping with gloating.
When Jessica heard her voice, she immediately looked up at her with a gloomy face. “Courtney, you’d better not provoke me.”
Courtney was tall. She stood beside her and glanced at her disdainfully. “Jessica, without Dominick as your backer, you are nothing! You stole my role before. Now, I’ll let you taste the feeling of being in difficulty.”
She still resented Jessica for sabotaging her chance of being in the leading role.
Annie immediately stood up with anxiety when she heard this.
“Courtney, I think there’s been a misunderstanding about playing the leading role before. How dare we go against you.
“Courtney, you are now Mrs. Reed. Everyone knows that you became an actress because of your dream. We are different. We work just for a little fame and living….”
When Jessica heard Annie’s self–deprecating words, she immediately scolded her with a cold face, “Shut up, Anniel”
“Go. The people from the wedding company are waiting for us…” a man at the door of the restaurant called Courtney.
Jessica and the others looked up. They were a little surprised. The man was Kevin.

Kevin held a three–year–old girl in his right hand, with Claire on the left. When he looked at Jessica’s face, a trace of a complicated look flashed across his face.
Jessica looked so much like her…
Kevin lowered his head and whispered to Claire beside him, “Tell your sister to hurry up. We have to go.”
Courtney was not interested in arguing with Jessica. She sneered, “Jessica, you are not smarter than your manager”
She looked at them in disdain and walked away arrogantly.
“Bitch! Courtney hooked up with a 50–year–old man when she was 20 years old. Shame on her…” Jessica looked furious and cursed at Courtney’s back.
Annie quickly pulled her to sit down and reminded her, “Jessica, pay attention to your image!
“The situation is different now. The media will no longer avoid reporting negative news about you. If you want to stay in showbiz, you must be tolerant. Everyone knows that Courtney is Mrs. Reed now. They will be on his side because of the Reed family. It will do you no good to go

against her.”
Jessica was furious, but she had to admit it.
Dominick ignored her, and she could do nothing. He was different from other men. Even if she acted coquettishly, it would not work at all.
But she was very unwilling to give up.
“Jessica, why did Dominick get close to you at the very beginning?” Annie suddenly thought of something and asked in a low voice.
An idea flashed through Jessica’s mind, and her face turned pale.
She glared at Annie and widely yelled at her, “What do you mean, Annie? Dominick likes me. The person he loves is mel”
