Chapter 19 You’re Disgusting
Bella suddenly lost the courage to approach him. She knew that no matter how she tried to explain, he Wouldn’t believe her.
Their ten–second stare felt as long as an eternity.
Dominic did nothing–no outburst, no questioning, nothing at all. With cold detachment, he looked away and turned to get into his car..
In that moment, a voice in Bella’s head urged her to chase after him as if delaying even a second would mean she’d never reach him again.
She dashed to the car with all her strength and speed. The Jacket Felix had draped over her shoulders fell to the ground as she ran. She didn’t notice it, nor did she see the fleeting look of disappointment in Felix’s
eyes.
“Dominic…” Her voice trembled, laced with tears, as she peered through the car window at the man inside. She was like someone drowning, desperately clutching at a life raft.
Dominic didn’t look at her, nor did he start the engine. The stalemate continued, and Bella boldly assumed this meant he was allowing her to get in. No matter how he treated her, she couldn’t back down

Once she was seated, Dominic drove back to Miller Manor. From the moment she got in, he didn’t look at her again. The calm before the storm often felt like this–eerily quiet.

The only difference was that back then, there had been hatred in his eyes, and this time, there was none The calmness now frightened her even more.
She fumbled to break the suffocating silence. “It’s not what you think, I—”
“What do you mean, ‘what I think‘?” he interrupted coldly, his grip tightening almost imperceptibly on the steering wheel. “Do we have any kind of relationship? There’s no need to explain. You just… disgust me,
that’s all.”
Bella clenched her fists, her nails digging into her skin, trying to use the pain to distract herself from the
ache in her heart.
He had only just come back after three years, and Bella had hoped that they could coexist peacefully in
“Dominic… where are you going?” she asked cautiously her voice tinged with desperation.
He looked at her angrily. “Get out. Stop being an eyesore!”
