Chapter 82

Author: Axcellent
Dominic finished speaking and quietly took hold of Cynthia's arm. In an instant, Cynthia—dead for a long time—appeared once more.

The boy scrambled up from the floor, crying as he rushed to his mother and clung to her. "Mom!"

Cynthia looked dazed. After a long moment, her trembling voice broke through. "Leo… don't be afraid. Mom's here."

At those words she burst into tears, holding her son close and gently patting his back.

The man rose from the floor too. His eyes reddened as he watched them. He stepped forward and wrapped his arms around mother and child.

Dominic looked at the three before him, emotions shifting behind his calm expression. He had tested this earlier today. If he willingly offered a strand of his hair, a soul could briefly return. But Cynthia's unstable mind had worried him, so he'd held back until now.

In that rare moment of clarity, Cynthia glanced around the bare room, sorrow filling her heart. "Hubby, I… I misunderstood you…"

The man shook his head and sai

  • She Chose Him, Now She Wants Me Back   Chapter 100

    Dominic had planned to spend the weekend in the countryside, but Isabella's sudden arrival made him change his mind. After dinner, he said goodbye to his grandfather and drove back with his daughter.No matter what he said, Isabella insisted on riding in his car.Dominic frowned. "You drove here yourself."Isabella simply pointed ahead. Under the fading sunset, a woman was running toward them, panting. "Ms. Sinclair!"It was her assistant. Isabella handed her the Porsche key and said calmly, "Drive my car back.""Yes, Ms. Sinclair." The assistant took the key without another word and drove away.Isabella turned back, smiled sweetly at Dominic, and said with a hint of pride, "Now I don't have a car."Lilith tugged on her father's sleeve and whispered, "Let Mommy come with us."Dominic paused for two seconds, then said, "Sit in the back."Isabella walked over, scooped Lilith into her arms, and kissed her hard on the cheek. "That's my sweet little angel."During the drive, Domin

    Isabella's face twisted in embarrassment, almost too ashamed to meet his eyes. Only then did she realize how foolish she had been.She let out a soft sigh. "Honey, I know I was wrong! I swear, it'll never happen again. As long as you agree to withdraw the lawsuit, I'll do anything you want. Even if you want me to find someone to deal with Alex, I'll agree, okay?"Find someone to deal with him? How could she say that so casually? His fate wasn't something to be handled that lightly.A cold gleam flashed in Dominic's eyes. "No need. His end is already decided. Don't make it any messier."Isabella froze. "Honey, what do you mean? What are you planning to do?"Dominic glanced at her, sneering, "What, are you worried I'll hurt your dear little brother?""No, no!" Isabella waved her hands frantically. "That's not what I meant. I'm just… worried about you.""Please. When I actually needed your concern, you were too busy spending the day with him. You even peeled an apple for him, didn'

    Dominic set the dishes on the table and stepped outside. Sure enough, Isabella's purple Porsche sat in the driveway with a fresh scratch on its left front—clearly scraped not long ago.Isabella lifted the rushing Lilith into her arms and smiled at the old man. "Grandpa, we had some things to take care of this morning, so we came to see you first."Harold chuckled warmly. "Dominic's cooking. Sit down and rest a bit."Relief washed over Isabella. Her husband hadn't told Harold about their problems after all.Of course he wouldn't. Harold was already a hundred years old. If he knew, he couldn't do anything and would probably lose sleep over it.Dominic walked back in, a slight frown on his face. "What happened to the car?"Isabella waved lightly, keeping her tone bright. "Nothing serious—just a little scrape."In truth, the drive should've taken an hour. She'd made it in half that time.Dominic nodded. "The food's ready. Since you're here, let's eat together.""Okay!" Isabella se

    After uttering those words, tears streamed down Theodore's face, yet a faint smile touched his lips. Under Fiona's gaze, his figure slowly faded away.She stood frozen for a long moment before a heart-rending cry tore from her throat. "My son!"She understood now—she understood everything. Collapsing to the floor, she wept uncontrollably.Dominic felt a faint surge of strength rise within him and turned to leave in silence.Later, people said that 'Love Me Blue Cheese' had closed down, and no one knew where the plump owner had gone.…The next morning, Dominic woke early and sat on the sofa, waiting for Isabella to appear. Before she did, Lilith stirred first.She ran over excitedly. "Daddy, you said you'd take me to see Grandpa. Let's go now!""It's the weekend," Dominic said. "You can sleep a bit more. We'll go later.""I don't want to! I want to go now. I miss Grandpa!" Lilith pouted, clearly unhappy.Dominic glanced toward the master bedroom, guessing Isabella was still a

    Theodore told his story, and Dominic listened in silence.When Theodore was very young, his father had an affair. Before he even turned five, the man abandoned him and his mother and vanished without a trace.The plump restaurant owner was Fiona Davis, a strong woman who refused to break down when her husband left. She didn't cry or make a scene. Instead, she carried the weight of motherhood alone and raised her son the best she could.Over the years, Fiona saved enough money to open a small restaurant, hoping to leave something behind for Theodore.But Theodore had always been rebellious. He never knew the truth about his father's abandonment. He believed it was his mother's fault—that she had driven his father away. That misunderstanding grew into resentment.As he grew older, the rebellion deepened. Fiona tried to correct him, sometimes through harsh scolding or beatings, but nothing worked. He stopped studying, fell in with street thugs, picked fights, and bullied classmates.

    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."After the divorce, Dominic couldn't and had no right to take away Isabella's place as a mother.Upon hearing that, Lilith's expression softened. In a small voice, she said, "But I want Daddy and Mommy to be together."Dominic shook his head. "There are many things in this world we can't control. It's like how you like Ms. Poppy from preschool. When you grow up and move on to elementary school, she won't be your teacher anymore. Do you understand?"Lilith nodded, only half understanding.Then Dominic asked quietly, "If Daddy and Mommy split up and don't live together anymore, who would you want to live with?"She thought for a moment. "I'll stay with Daddy."Dominic's eyes brightened. "Wh
