Chapter 110 Should I Carry You 

Bella crossed her arms and leased against the doorframe, asking casually, “What are you doing here? 

He hesitated for a moment. “Why didn’t you answer my calls? 

she lowered her eyes. “I was watching a show, so I kept the phone on silent mode and didn’t hear them. It’s late. Aren’t you tired? It’s almost 10 degrees in Joville today. Aren’t you feeling hot?” 

Dominic had no interest in small talk “Come back with me. 

Bella looked up at him and gave a faint smile. “No, I’m fine living here. Il find some time to go back and pack my things. If you have free time, you can help me send them over don’t have much stuff, it won’t take long to pack” 

“Bella” 

His sudden, restrained poat was as intense as the sweltering summer heat 

She was enfazed as she asked, “Why are you yelling at me? can bear you just time. I’m not deal.” 

He gritted his teeth. “I thought we were fine before. There’s no need for you to make things difficult. If there’s an issue, you can just say it. I don’t like goesting, and my patience has its limits. Don’t push me.”

Bella straightened up, her stance defiant. She spoke each word with determination, “I’m not going,” 

Without another word, Dominic unbuttoned his shirt cuts, rolled up his sleeves, and simply picked her up, slinging her over his shoulder. She was startled. “Put

Bella rushed to press the open button, but the elevator had already started descending. She looked downat her nightgown and bare feet, feeling frustrated. She had lost her slippers in the scule. 

Furious, she stood in the comer, refusing to speak to the man before her. One thing was clear in her mind–she was not going with him. 

Dominic glanced at her, curled up in the comer like a stubborn cat throwing a tantrum. A faint smile tugged at the comer of his lips. “If you had behaved, there would’ve been no need to be so angry.” 

Bella glared up at him, and when their eyes met, she quickly looked down again. “You’re such a jerk.….….” 

She wasn’t good at cursing, and those words lacked any real force. They came off as harmless 

He suddenly leaned closer, lifted her chin with his hand, and looked down at her from above. “I’m a jerk Did you just realize that today? I can be much worse
