Chapter 65
When in love, a woman was always worried about whether her man l
loved her or not.

In fact, if she wanted a man to fall in love with her, she had to learn to love herself first.
Then, she could become a bright spot in the eyes of others and get their love.
Love was too extravagant, so women could not love someone easily. Whoever fell in love first would be destined to pay more and lose more miserably in the end….
Stephanie was not a hopeless romantic or an emotional woman.
However, probably because she had been living too peacefully in Wellington Villa recently, she suddenly remembered Diana’s opinions on love that she had taught her in the past.
“Grandpa, I want to visit my aunt in the nursing home today.”
After having breakfast with George early in the morning, Stephanie mentioned this.
George did not object. He glanced at Dominick opposite him and said, “The preparation for the 50th anniversary of the Innovate Group is almost finished. If you have time, just accompany her…”
“No. I don’t want to bother him.” Stephanie refused instinctively.
Dominick’s eyes turned gloomy slightly, and he looked straight at her.
Stephanie felt uneasy under his gaze. She lowered her head and explained, “Vincent promised to accompany me before. He has a lot of free
time.”
Dominick thought, ‘She would rather have Vincent with her than me…
Around 8 a.m., Vincent drove to Wellington Villa reluctantly.
“Take care of her.”
Dominick looked in a bad mood and said to Vincent coldly.
Vincent sat in the driver’s seat and held the steering wheel. Dominick’s cold voice made his scalp pins and needles. He looked up and saw Stephanie gesturing for him to start the car quickly in the rearview mirror.
“What’s wrong with you, Stephanie? Dominick is idle at home today. Why did you ask me to drive you to the nursing home?”
After driving away from Wellington Villa, Vincent shouted at the woman in the back seat.
Stephanie knew she had embarrassed him, so she remained silent.
Vincent was livid. After thinking about it, he found something was wrong.
“Stephanie, Dominick has not officially met your aunt, right?” he asked while driving.
“Yes,” Stephanie answered honestly.
Vincent slammed the brakes on, and the car almost hit the lamppost on the opposite side.

Chapter 65
“What are you doing?” Stephanie was frightened.
Vincent was angry.
ngry. He glared at her and said, “Stephanie, are you crazy? It’s your first time to bring a man to meet your aunt. Do you know
what this means?”
No way! No wonder Dominick looked at him with murderous eyes just now.
“Don’t be so excited. It’s just a trivial matter.” Stephanie felt somewhat guilty under Vincent’s gaze.
She turned to look outside the car window and murmured, “I’m familiar with you, so can you pretend…”
“I’m not familiar with you!”
Vincent was in a rage. “What do you want me to pretend to be? Be Dominick and your husband? No way! I don’t want to court death.”
He felt that he had fallen into Stephanie’s trap. He decided to drive her back to Wellington Villa immediately.
Stephanie saw Vincent turning the steering wheel and planning to return to Wellington Villa, and she immediately became anxious. “Hey, Vincent, just help me once. I really can’t think of another way…
“I haven’t told my aunt about my divorce from Kevin and the fact that I married Dominick because of an unexpected pregnancy. How can I tell her these things? She has a heart condition…”
Stephanie whispered and held Vincent’s arm with her right hand, showing a rare expression of frustration and helplessness.
“Vincent, please help me this time. I will tell my aunt about my divorce, but can you not mention my y pregnancy and my marriage to Dominick
in front of her?”
“Are you going to hide your marriage to Dominick from your aunt?”
Vincent’s face darkened. He looked Stephanie up and down, asking, “Stephanie, she will know this sooner or later.”
“At that time, I had already left the Wellington family,” she murmured in a low voice.
Vincent didn’t hear her clearly. “What?”
Stephanie didn’t speak anymore. Her clear eyes looked a little sad.
Vincent had known her for some time and knew that 5
Stephanie was so stubborn that she rarely asked for help. He was a soft hearted
person…
“Stephanie, you can tell your aunt that I am an ordinary friend of yours. If you tell her that we have a relationship, I will expose your lies. Remember? We are just ordinary friends.”
Stephanie smiled brightly at Vincent and patted him on his shoulder heavily with her right hand.
“I know. Vincent, I didn’t realize expect you, a playboy, to be so caring.”
“Shut up. I’m helping you because of Dominick, Vincent snorted angrily.
“Okay, okay,” Stephanie smiled.
“I’ll go to meet the elders. Maybe I should buy some fruits.” Somehow, Vincent felt a little nervous.
There were some fruit shops on the commercial street opposite. Vincent parked the car on the roadside and got out of the car.
Chapter 65
Sat,
Stephanie sat in the back seat, watching with boredom as Vincent walked into a shop to buy fruit.
“No wonder he is so popular with women. He’s very attentive…” she said to hersell.
Suddenly, Stephanie sat upright. She narrowed her eyes and looked towards the street on the other side.
Jessica and Claire?
“Jessica, don’t talk nonsense. It doesn’t
The two women walked to a quiet corner of the alley, Claire looked livid and said in a high–pitched voice. She seemed to be very angry and
Jessica sneered, “Your sister? Humph, do you think I will be afraid of Courtney?”
She and Kevin had already gotten the marriage license, and the recent wedding preparations had gone smoothly. However…
Jessica quickly took a document from her bag and threw it in Claire’s face.
Claire picked up the document. It was a birth certificate. Her face turned pale instantly, and her eyes were flickering with guilt and panic
“You asked Amanda to give you a surrogate daughter, and the sperm was Kevin’s. Kevin would never expect that the daughter you brought back was indeed his, but you are not the child’s mother…”
