Mother clearly couldn't accept the fact that I had slapped her precious son. Her face flushed with anger, and she even raised her hand as if she intended to slap me back. However, before she could strike my cheek, Dominic swiftly stepped in front of me and stopped her.

"Are you really her biological mother?" Dominic asked coldly.

Mother froze. The sharpness in his gaze was enough to make her hesitate. I could even see her hands trembling slightly as she faced him.

"What do you mean by that? Of

    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

    I was busy preparing the seasonings in the kitchen while Dominic helped me prepare the vegetables. He patiently washed and chopped the ingredients I needed. Every now and then, I glanced at my phone lying on the kitchen counter. However, Aria still hadn't opened my messages."Who are you waiting to hear from?" Dominic asked as he placed the chopped carrots into a bowl."Aria. Who else would it be?" I replied without taking my eyes off my phone."Still haven't heard from her since last night?"I nodded slowly. "No. I'm worried something might have happened to her."Dominic offered me a reassuring smile. "I'm sure Aria is fine. With a personality like hers, who would dare mess with her?"Although his words made sense, I still couldn't shake off my worries.Once everything was ready, we sat down to eat together. However, my mind was still occupied with Aria. I barely touched the food in front of me, which soon made Dominic concerned as well."Are you still thinking about Aria?" he asked.

    My plan to wake up early had failed miserably. By the time I opened my eyes, the sky was already bright. I must have slept so soundly that I hadn't even noticed how quickly time had passed.Instead of preparing breakfast for Dominic, I found that he had already left for work. The breakfast he'd bought for me was neatly placed on the dining table, accompanied by a small handwritten note.I picked up the note and read it with a smile."Dominic is so sweet. It's getting harder and harder not to fall in love with him," I murmured, smiling to myself.After freshening up in the bathroom, I made my way to the dining table. Before eating, I took a picture of the breakfast and sent it to Dominic along with a thank-you message.Unfortunately, he hadn't replied yet. I didn't mind, though. I knew he was probably busy.Ever since taking over his father's company while continuing to manage his own business, Dominic's schedule had become increasingly hectic. Even so, no matter how busy he was, he al
