I was grateful that my hope had finally come true.

When I pressed the buzzer for Dominic’s apartment, it didn’t take long for my boss to open the door.

"Isla Grace?" Dominic exclaimed, looking surprised by my arrival.

"Boss, may I come in?" I asked, fighting back a sense of embarrassment.

"Sure, come on in!" Dominic opened the door wide so I could step inside easily.

I walked into his apartment, feeling awkward. I sat on the sofa, clasping my hands together. My heart was racing because the

    The next day, I accompanied Dominic to the airport. Throughout the journey, he stayed close to me, occasionally planting kisses on my neck and making me squirm."Isla Grace, you're going to miss me, aren't you?" he asked, wrapping an arm around my waist."Hm.""Is that all I get? Come on, give me a proper answer.""Yes, I'll miss you.""That's more like it." Dominic smiled in satisfaction. "Isla Grace, I'm going to miss you so much. Wait for me to come back, okay?""All right. Have a safe trip.""Good. Once I return, we'll make our relationship official."I could only offer him a faint smile. Not long after, the boarding announcement echoed through the airport. Dominic finally released me and headed toward the departure gate. Before disappearing from sight, he turned around several times to wave at me.Once he was gone, I immediately ordered a taxi to take me home. However, before I could even open the app, a luxurious car pulled up right in front of me.A chauffeur dressed in a suit

    "Isla, you're amazing!" Aria suddenly praised me.I turned to her, raising an eyebrow. "Why are you suddenly complimenting me?""It's not without reason. I'm impressed by how calm you've been while dealing with Ariel and Leonard. If I were in your position, I would've beaten them both up and kicked them out!" she exclaimed passionately.I chuckled at my friend's reaction."I'm just trying to put myself in another woman's shoes. Honestly, I don't think Ariel is entirely to blame. If she hadn't been in that accident and hadn't been presumed dead, she and Leonard might still be living happily together. They might even have children by now."Aria nodded thoughtfully. "That's true. But whatever the circumstances, once Ariel found out that Leonard was married to you and had chosen you, she should've respected that. She had no right to resort to such dirty tricks to break up your marriage.""Well, I certainly won't defend her when it comes to that."Aria let out a wide yawn and rubbed her ey

    After Dominic and Maxime left for work, the house became quiet again. I was getting ready to head to the café when I glanced at Aria, who was still lounging on the sofa."Aria, if you're still sleepy, you should get some more rest. I'm going to the café," I said."I'm not sleepy. I just want to come with you." Aria immediately stood up and wrapped her arms around mine.I smiled at her behavior. Despite getting so little sleep last night, she seemed far more eager to accompany me than to catch up on her rest.The weather was gloomy that morning. A light drizzle had been falling since sunrise, but it didn't seem to affect the number of customers at the café. In fact, today's special, warm wonton soup, had attracted quite a crowd. A hot bowl of soup was always a perfect choice to warm up on a chilly morning.As we watched several college students enjoying their breakfast, Aria suddenly nudged my arm."Wow, there are so many handsome college boys here. You must enjoy having such eye candy

    Maxime's suspicion turned out to be correct. Dominic finally returned home at exactly midnight. I had even woken up when I heard him immediately instructing Maxime to move Aria to the room next door."What if Aria gets upset?" I whispered, struggling to shake off my sleepiness."I don't care. Besides, she has a room of her own," Dominic replied firmly.Maxime, who was standing beside the bed, could only surrender to his boss's orders. He clearly didn't dare argue with Dominic. Without another word, he carefully scooped up the still-sleeping Aria and carried her to the other room.I could only sigh at Dominic's behavior. That man really couldn't stand having anyone get too close to me."It's already so late. Why didn't you just go home? Isn't your house closer to the office?" I asked with a yawn."Actually, I went back to my parents' house earlier. But I couldn't fall asleep, so I decided to come straight here," he answered casually.After saying that, Dominic immediately wrapped his a

    I didn't dare leave Dominic and Leonard alone together. From the kitchen, I quietly peeked at them.“Leonard, cut out all those cheap tricks! Isla Grace is mine now. You're nothing but an ex she no longer loves!” Dominic said firmly.Leonard let out a quiet scoff. “I only came here to eat. There's no need for you to keep throwing jabs at me.”“You're a billionaire. You can eat at any fancy restaurant you want. So why come all the way to this little café if you don't have some ulterior motive involving my girlfriend?”“Because nothing compares to Isla Grace's cooking.” Leonard gave him a faint smile. “Why are you so worried about me? Don't tell me Isla Grace still hasn't completely fallen for you, and you're afraid she might still have feelings for me. After all, we were married for more than five years.”“That's nonsense!”“If you were truly confident that you could beat me, you wouldn't be this bothered just because I showed up in front of Isla Grace.”Dominic's expression immediatel

    One by one, the customers began leaving the restaurant. I immediately went around the empty tables, clearing away the leftover food and tidying up.While I was busy cleaning, two young women suddenly approached me.“Excuse me, are you still hiring?” one of them asked politely.I paused what I was doing and gave them a friendly smile. “Oh, yes, we are. Are you two interested in applying?”“Yes, but we're still in college. Would it be possible to adjust our working hours around our class schedules?”“Of course. We can work something out. By the way, what are your names?”“I'm Delia.”“And I'm Natasya,” the other girl added with a smile.After a brief introduction, we discussed their working schedules, job responsibilities, and salaries. Fortunately, neither of them made any unreasonable demands, so we reached an agreement without much difficulty.However, before our conversation could come to an end, a familiar car suddenly pulled up in front of the restaurant.It was Dominic's car.He
