LOGINIsabella was stunned. Her sister had never acted like this before.In disbelief, she said, "What's there to feel sorry about? I'm just trying to find a chance for us to reconcile. Don't you want us to get back together?"Katherine replied calmly and logically, "Just as you said, if you end up having a second child through this method, then for Dominic it would only mean compromise and reluctant agreement. The final result would be the two of you living together while remaining emotionally distant. Do you really think that has any meaning at all?"After listening to her sister, Isabella felt that it somehow made sense. She nodded subconsciously and asked blankly, "Then what should I do?"Katherine's eyes shifted slightly. "If you really want to reconcile with him, then you should let go for a short time. Distance makes the heart grow fonder.""Is that so?" Isabella murmured.When she saw that Isabella had begun to consider it, Katherine felt pleased.But soon Isabella shook her h
After Dominic finished cooking and came out, Lilith had also finished her homework.He wiped his hands and said, "Come eat."Isabella ran over happily. As the aroma of the dishes reached her, she said cheerfully, "It's been so many days since I've eaten food my husband cooked!"After they finished eating, Dominic went to wash the dishes.After pleading for quite a while, Lilith finally received Isabella's permission to play with her phone for a while and happily ran into the room.Sitting on the sofa, Isabella rubbed her belly and said with satisfaction, "Sis, I really don't know anyone whose cooking is better than your brother-in-law's."Katherine glanced at her but said nothing.Isabella sat up straight and asked suspiciously, "Why do I feel like you've had something on your mind lately?"Katherine's heart trembled. She quickly replied, "What nonsense are you talking about? What could I possibly have on my mind?""There's definitely something!" Isabella studied her expressio
Dominic hadn't seen Lilith for a few days, so he naturally spoiled her. With an affectionate smile, he said, "Alright. Daddy will take you to KFC."Isabella looked at Lilith suspiciously. "Yesterday at your aunt's house, I clearly saw a half-eaten hamburger. Don't tell me that wasn't yours."Lilith's expression changed immediately. She hurried to say, "I haven't had KFC for a long time. Daddy, please take me!"Cradled in Dominic's arms, she shook him and acted cute.The soft-hearted father could hardly resist. Just as he was about to agree, Katherine said calmly, "You didn't eat KFC because you had McDonald's yesterday."Dominic and Isabella immediately turned their gazes to the girl.The smile on Lilith's face stiffened. She said weakly, "Well… Daddy only lets me eat KFC once a month, and McDonald's isn't the same as KFC."Dominic burst out laughing in exasperation. "Lily, so after all that, you were playing tricks on me?"The girl pouted."Go home. The food your dad cooks is
Dominic left Jessica's place and drove straight to the company.He had promised Katherine that they would pick up Lilith together, and he could not break that promise.As he approached the building, he spotted a slender figure in a black dress from a distance. She raised her right hand and waved repeatedly. Beside her stood a woman in a white dress, smiling as she watched him approach.Both women had slender figures and striking beauty that drew immediate attention. Their faces looked remarkably alike, nearly seventy percent similar, giving them the appearance of twin sisters and attracting countless glances."Why is she here…" Dominic muttered as he slowly brought the car to a stop in front of them.Isabella quickly slid into the passenger seat. "Honey, where were you this afternoon? We've been waiting here for so long.""I had some things to take care of," Dominic replied.Katherine glanced at the passenger seat, then quietly climbed into the back. "Alright. Lily's about to fi
Dominic suddenly clenched his fists. A strange feeling rose within him. Although the woman seemed to be speaking to Jessica, the words felt directed at him. It almost sounded like a threat."Mom, what are you talking about? Who's trying to hurt me?" Jessica snapped, irritation creeping into her voice.Linda chuckled softly. "Haha, then I must have misspoken. A mother worries when her child is far away. You're all the way out in Skyline City. Sometimes, I worry so much that I can't even sleep at night."Jessica's expression softened. She realized she might have been too sensitive. Her mother was probably just worried about her. Dominic was not a bad person. He would be her future husband, and that alone made her feel protected.The thought filled Jessica with quiet warmth.Her cheeks flushed slightly as she said, "Mom, I want to take a nap now, so I won't talk anymore."Linda hummed in acknowledgment and added casually, "Someone has already spoken to the family about the Pierces'
Dominic suddenly found the timing of Linda's call suspicious. He had arrived openly, so if anyone in the villa was watching, his presence would hardly be a secret to that woman.The thought made Dominic frown. By that logic, Jessica had been under surveillance the entire time. This extraordinarily capable noblewoman was also rather domineering.Jessica, however, did not dwell on it. She refused at once. "I don't want to go back to the capital. It's so boring there."Linda chuckled softly."Jessica, stop fooling around. You've had your fun. It's time to come back. After all, your home is in the capital." Her tone sounded gentle, yet it carried unquestionable authority.Jessica pursed her lips. "I'll think about it later.""All right, all right." Linda did not press the matter. She let out a light sigh. "You're our only daughter. You're alone in Skyline City and unfamiliar with the place. What if something happened? How could I feel at ease?"Jessica replied, "My uncle is here. No
"Yeah, I can't keep being softhearted anymore." Isabella's tone was steady as she looked at Dominic.Dominic raised an eyebrow. The next moment, Isabella lifted her hand and swung hard.The sharp crack of the slap echoed through the small hospital room. Silence fell.Alexander clutched his cheek,
An hour earlier…Isabella was in her office reviewing reports when her assistant knocked on the door. She looked up."Ms. Sinclair, Mr. Grant wants to see you," the assistant said."Let him in," Isabella replied evenly.A moment later, Alexander stepped inside and quietly closed the door behind
At that hour, only a few people were out.Dominic held Lilith's hand as they left the community and strolled along the street.A small food stall stood not far away. The rich aroma drifted over, making the little girl's mouth water. "Daddy, I want to eat lamb skewers."Dominic smiled. "If you eat
Dominic gave a faint, bitter smile. He knew this would break Lilith's heart, but he had no choice."Lily," he said gently. "Mommy will always be your mommy, and Daddy will always be your daddy. Even if we separate, no matter who you miss, Daddy or Mommy, we'll both be there for you right away."Af
