Semua Bab She Chose Him, Now She Wants Me Back: Bab 111 - Bab 120

"Alright." Dominic took the form and filled it out with care.Five minutes later, he handed the resume back. "Done."George glanced over it and let out a light chuckle. "Thirty years old, no work experience, heh…"Hearing the open mockery, Dominic frowned slightly, but he understood it. A man who had reached 30 without ever holding a job was bound to be looked down on."What are your salary expectations?" George asked casually as he set the form aside."Just follow the company's performance policy," Dominic replied. "I do have one condition. I need to finish work at four in the afternoon. I'm willing to give up the base pay for that.""Four in the afternoon?" George said impatiently. "Are you joking with me?"Dominic felt a surge of helplessness. He had to take care of Lilith, which meant he could only get off work at 4:00 p.m. That constraint was also one of the main reasons his job search kept hitting dead ends.George crossed one leg over the other and spoke with clear disda

After a long silence, Grace finally shook her head, her voice heavy with regret. "I really regret it. When Charlotte was still alive, I didn't spend enough time with her. I still remember her saying that what she wanted most was to have a meal with us."Isaac lowered his voice. "I'm not going to the office today. I'll cook at home. The three of us will have a proper meal together."Grace looked at the photo frame, reached out, and touched it with trembling fingers. "Alright. I'll cook. Charlotte, today Daddy and Mommy will eat with you."Isaac felt a dull ache in his chest and followed Grace into the kitchen without a word.To their surprise, they did not argue.Ever since they had reached their current status, neither of them had cooked in a long time. This time, though, they worked in quiet harmony. One prepared the ingredients, the other cooked the dishes."Beef and potatoes were Charlotte's favorite," Isaac said suddenly as he washed the potatoes.Grace glanced at him. Memor

Charlotte saw her parents beside her. Happiness welled up, and she opened her mouth to speak, hoping for praise.Isaac raised a thumbs-up. His eyes were red as he said, "Charlotte's the best!"Grace did not know how much longer her daughter could stay. She steadied herself, stood, and said, "Charlotte, are you hungry? Mommy will make you something to eat."The girl's eyes lit up. "Okay! I like Mommy's potato beef stew the most!"She was not actually hungry. What mattered was eating with her parents. That alone made her happiest."I'll make it right now." Grace wiped away her tears and went into the kitchen.Isaac picked Charlotte up and followed. "Let's watch Mommy cook, okay?""Okay!"Grace continued cooking, but her attention kept drifting. She glanced at her daughter again and again.Charlotte giggled. "Mommy, that's sugar! Potato beef stew isn't sweet!""You're right." Grace laughed softly. "Mommy's just too careless."She kissed Charlotte's cheek and turned her focus ba

"Ugh, I heard that at Northcity Elementary, some lunatic attacked people with a knife a couple of days ago.""That's terrifying. I hope all the kids are okay.""Just thinking about it makes my skin crawl. Let's stop talking about it. We need to keep a close eye on our little ones and never let them out of sight, not even for a second."…Dominic frowned when he overheard the conversation. He got out of the car and fixed his gaze on the school entrance.Moments later, Lilith came hopping over and threw herself into his arms. "Daddy, the teacher praised me today!""Really? My Lily is amazing!" Dominic said, giving her a thumbs-up.Her eyes rolled with mischief, and she grinned. "Then can you reward me with an extra half hour of screen time tonight?""Haha, of course…" Dominic laughed, but under her eager stare, his smile turned stern. "Not. Finish your homework properly. After that, you get half an hour at most. One minute more and your butt's going to regret it!"She refused to

Seeing the red mark on Katherine's smooth forehead, Dominic changed the subject. "Sigh. Why didn't you block that guy? Are you keeping him around for the New Year?"On her phone, a man had sent her countless messages, each one more disgusting than the last. Even a man would feel sick reading them, let alone a woman. Given that, Katherine actually had a remarkably big heart.She snapped angrily, "Block him? I didn't just block him. I reported him too! His accounts have been shut down four or five times already, but that pest keeps switching accounts just to message me!""He's that persistent?" Dominic made a small sound of disbelief and drove off as the light turned green.His tone grew serious. "Then you need to be careful. Never reveal your real address when you're streaming.""What? Last time I opened a package on livestream, I think the address accidentally showed on camera. It shouldn't be a problem, right?" Katherine said, startled.Dominic frowned, his voice heavy. "Katheri
