Mag-log inIsabella 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
Dominic turned his head and saw a tall figure emerge from the villa."Excuse me, are you Autumn?" he asked.Autumn nodded. "I am."Dominic hadn't expected the old lady's words to be true. Autumn was young, barely past her 20, dressed in expensive clothes that accentuated her graceful figure. Her
The nurse called the doctor over, and they saw Dominic collapse weakly to the floor. Blood trickled from his mouth and nose.The doctor's expression changed at once. After a quick examination, he shouted, "Prepare the operating room! Emergency surgery—now!"The nurse froze."Is it that serious?"
Things had come to this point, and Dominic's only concern now was Lilith. He hoped that after his death Isabella would take good care of their daughter.Victor stepped forward to offer comfort. "Please accept our condolences." Isabella, her mind blank, sprang up, pointed at Victor, and shouted, "
Clarita was about to speak when Dominic's expression suddenly changed—he'd been spotted.He had been keeping an eye on Autumn's group when one of her bodyguards leaned close to her, whispered something, then pointed straight toward him.A moment later, Autumn rose from her seat. Her face was cold
