Chapter 96
At Gordon Hotel.
The private room was opulent and luxurious, and the table was laden with delicious food. However, Stephanie ate very cautiously. She put down her knife and fork, picked up a glass of milk with her right hand, and took a sip. Then, she secretly glanced at the rhamn sitting across
from her.
Dominick wasn’t eating anything.
Stephanie hesitated for a moment and said, “Dominick, what do you…..”
She had just been at the Innovate Group, waiting for Molly when he suddenly dragged her there. He had the manager bring a table full of dishes, but he just sat there the whole time with a serious expression and didn’t eat anything.
Dominick leaned back against his chair. Frowning, he lazily glanced at the spread of food on the table, seemingly having no appetite.
Hearing her, he looked up at her intensely, which was abnormal.
His lips pressed together, as if he wanted to say something.
Suddenly, a phone rang from the side table in the room. Startled, Stephanie quickly got up and walked over.
It must be Molly calling her.
“Hey, that’s my phone!”
Dominick moved faster than she did. He quickly stepped forward, picked up the phone from the table, and rejected the call. Then he casually tossed it onto the sofa.
Stephanie was annoyed. “What are
e you doing? That was my friend.”
Before she could finish her complaint, Dominick suddenly wrapped his arms around her waist.
Stephanie was stunned,
He had never held her like that.
Dominick pushed her to sit on the sofa, and she lowered her head, her eyes wide open in disbelief as she looked at him.
Dominick rested his head on her lap, his face buried in her soft stomach. His arms were still around her waist. He lay sideways on the large sofa and fell asleep.
“Hey!” Stephanie blushed and awkwardly called out.
Dominick didn’t respond, his breathing slow and deep. His exhaustion and eagerness for a good rest were plain to see.
“Dominick?”
She lowered her voice and called out again.
She didn’t know if he didn’t want to talk of was truly tired, but he used her as a pillow.

“What is he trying to do? He wouldn’t say anything,” she thought,
As she looked at his profile, Stephanie found herself mesmerized. She wasn’t one to fawn over men, but this man was undeniably striking.
His features were sculpted and his background was aristocratic, which could make women swoon.
She couldn’t believe such a man was her husband.
Stephanie’s gaze wandered. She couldn’t forget that this man was very d

very dangerous.
“Dominick usually keeps her at home. How could he bear to take her to the basement?”
Faint voices could be heard outside the private room, but Stephanie couldn’t make out the conversation. Just as she looked up, the door was abruptly opened.
Their
reyes met immediately. Vincent stood outside the room, looking at them with wide eyes.
“Isn’t he side?” It was Scott’s voice.
Stephanie struggled in the private room. Vincent smirked outside, glad that he hadn’t disturbed Dominick
He had offended Dominick accidentally last April Fool’s Day. If he got in the way of Dominick’s plans again, it would be horrible.
Scott glanced at the room door and chuckled, certain that Stephanie was probably inside.
“Dominick hasn’t been feeling well lately. Don’t disturb him,” Scott said flatly, turning to leave.
Scott and Vincent went down to the lobby to eat. “Vincent, you can talk about Stephanie all you want, but you played a big part too. Last time, you sent Dominick that April Fool’s Day message, and he took it seriously. He rushed off to find Stephanie, caught some rain, and ended up with a headache that night.”
He chewed the beef slowly, his usual mischievous smile gone. Turning serious, he murmured, “Dominick seems to really care about her.”
