Chapter 464

Penulis: Axcellent
The next morning, Dominic rubbed his eyes, slipped on his slippers, and stepped out of his room.

He stopped short. Lydia stood rigid in the center of the living room, straight as a post. The sight unsettled him.

"Damn, can't you sit on the sofa?" he asked, exasperated.

At the sound of his voice, Lydia's face brightened. "Sitting or standing makes no difference to me. I don't get tired."

Dominic shook his head and said nothing. He drank a glass of water, then went to wash up.

Soon after, he

    Countless times, Jewel had opened Dominic's contact, intending to call him. Yet whenever she remembered the sweet words he had spoken to Katherine, her heart felt as if it were being sliced apart, and she could not bring herself to press the call button.Today, she had finally seen him again, only to witness this scene.She gritted her teeth and muttered, "That two-timing scumbag."Beside her, Jade's eyes turned icy."Dominic is being far too presumptuous," she said flatly.Startled, Jewel looked at her. "Sis, what do you mean?""Can't you see it for yourself?"The two sisters bore some resemblance, but Jade carried herself with greater elegance and poise. She held a glass of red wine and spoke in a cool, measured tone. "I warned him last time. Yet he's still entangled with Autumn. Does he really think I have no temper?"Jewel felt a surge of inexplicable anger, and her voice hardened. "Whatever happens between Autumn and Dominic is their business. You're overstepping."Jade c

    The next morning, Dominic rubbed his eyes, slipped on his slippers, and stepped out of his room.He stopped short. Lydia stood rigid in the center of the living room, straight as a post. The sight unsettled him."Damn, can't you sit on the sofa?" he asked, exasperated.At the sound of his voice, Lydia's face brightened. "Sitting or standing makes no difference to me. I don't get tired."Dominic shook his head and said nothing. He drank a glass of water, then went to wash up.Soon after, he left the house with Lydia.As he prepared to drive off, he noticed a man in his early 30s waiting downstairs, dressed in a suit and polished leather shoes.The man stepped forward when he saw him. "Hello, are you Mr. Fleming?""I am," Dominic replied, surprised.The man gestured politely. "Miss Garcia asked me to pick you up."Dominic immediately understood that Autumn had sent him. He smiled. "Alright."He got into the car, Lydia taking the seat beside him. This time, he avoided speaking

    Lydia caught her slip of the tongue, covered her mouth, and smiled. "What I meant is, you're a god."Dominic waved her off. "Don't put a halo on me. I have emotions and desires. I'll age, get sick, and die. I'm just an ordinary man."That was what he said. Yet a stray thought surfaced. Ever since he had come back to life at the hospital, he had not fallen ill. He felt constantly energized, strong in a way that no longer seemed entirely ordinary.Lydia giggled softly. "Dom, I actually regret it.""Regret what? Regret turning down the chance I offered you last time?" Dominic asked with a faint smile.If she had been honest from the beginning, he might have helped her.But after Lydia refused, she had only one path left. She would die, then become a blade in his hand.Lydia shook her head and brushed the hair from her forehead. "What I regret is following Zachary for a little money. That demon."She drew a slow breath before continuing, "When I first met him, I thought he was eleg

    After hanging up, Dominic considered what gift he should give Autumn.Lydia stood nearby and said, "Dom, your luck with women is really something.""Is it?" Dominic smiled. "Forget that. I need to figure out what to give her. Help me think of something.""What's her background?" Lydia asked."Her name is Autumn Garcia."Lydia inhaled sharply. "The daughter of the richest man in Skyline City?""You were with Zachary for a long time," Dominic replied. "The Grants are no weaker than Stephen Garcia's family. No need to be so shocked."Lydia stiffened. A bitter smile touched her lips as she shook her head. "Zachary only came to me when he needed something. He never took me to formal events.""I see," Dominic said. "He was just playing around. He never planned to marry you."The words were blunt, and Lydia could not deny them.Dominic smiled again. "You didn't lose out entirely. He gave you quite a bit of money.""When your life is gone, what use is money?""At least it could hav

    "Hey, Dominic!" Katherine's voice was as gentle as ever, warm and soothing."What are you doing?" he asked."Streaming," she replied with a smile. "Making money for you.""That's making money for yourself too," Dominic said. "What's mine is yours.""I don't want it." She gave a soft, almost coquettish huff. The words he had hoped to hear did not follow.He had wanted her to say, "I only want you." She clearly would not say something like that now. A flicker of disappointment passed through him.He could not force it, so he asked instead, "Where's Lily?""Bella took her to school this morning. Oh, right…" Katherine paused. "She said you're going back to Eastmere State with her in a while?""I am," Dominic said openly. "Mainly to visit Grandma. You should come too."Katherine's heart trembled. "You… want me to come?""Of course." He smiled without hesitation. "It would be better if you did."She hesitated. "I'd better not go. You're a family of three…"His chest tightened."

    In less than half an hour, the hearse arrived at the nearby crematorium.Dominic stepped out, took a cigarette from his pocket, and lit it.Lydia surveyed the crowd gathered outside and frowned. "You even have to line up for this now?"Dominic let out a short, humorless laugh. "What does it feel like, watching yourself get cremated?"Lydia noticed her family already speaking with the crematorium staff. A flicker of desolation crossed her eyes. "Pity. Such a pity."She was still young. She was beautiful. She did not want to die.Dominic exhaled a thin stream of smoke. "Same as always. Be a good person in your next life."Her death was closely tied to him. To a large extent, he had steered Zachary toward it.He felt no guilt, though. He held grudges by nature. Lydia had brought this on herself.She nodded, then asked softly, "Dom, do you think I'll have a next life? Can I still be reincarnated?"He considered the question for a few seconds. "You can."Her eyes brightened at on
