Billionaire’s Regret After Losing Her (Aurelia) novel Chapter 80

Chapter 80 Don’t Overthink It

When he heard her bring up divorce again, Dominic felt a sharp throbbing in his temples.

“Don’t even think about divorce.”

His tone was firm, no room for negotiation.

He could compromise on just about anything else, but divorce? That was non-negotiable.

Before Aurelia could respond, Dominic continued. “What do you want for dinner? Have Mary whip something up for you? That will make do.”

“Make do?” Those words made Aurelia laugh even harder, a cold, bitter sound.

That laugh grated on Dominic’s nerves more than anything.

Aurelia said, “I remember when you lined up a dozen bodyguards for Lauren, you were pretty thorough. Why didn’t you tell her to just ‘make do’?”

Dominic frowned. “Why are you…”

“I’m not comparing myself to her ” Aurelia cut him off s X Close

Dominic’s words died in his throat.

There was no point in comparing. And Aurelia had no interest in competing now. She was saying this on purpose, forcing him to face exactly what he’d done.

Dominic’s headache got worse.

He wanted things to go back to how they were before, back to the days when she was sweet and obedient.

He pulled her into his arms. “Okay, no more making do. I’ll cook for you myself, alright?”

In Dominic’s mind, this was probably the biggest concession he could make to calm her down.

He’d coaxed Aurelia before, but never had he lowered himself to cooking for her.

Right now, he just wanted to defuse her anger as quickly as possible.

But Aurelia, who’d had enough of his half-hearted attempts,

wasn’t so easy to appease anymore.

Against Dominic’s gentle cajoling, Aurelia’s tone turned even more mocking. “You’ll cook for me personally? Then sen

to the hospital with another bowl of soup?”

Dominic fell silent.

Bringing up the real reason she’d ended up in the hospital draped the entire living room in a heavy, suffocating silence.

Aurelia pushed his arms away. “Just stop. You don’t need to do anything.”

She’d never wanted to come back to Oakridge Estate in the first place.

Now, finding out that even the nutritionists were sent by Bianca made her feel even more repulsed by the Hawthorne family.

Dominic said, “Rest here. I’ll go cook for you.”

He didn’t acknowledge her words. Every syllable she spoke felt like a weight on his chest anyway.

He fetched a thick blanket from the guest room, draped it over Aurelia, then headed to the kitchen.

Just as he stepped into the kitchen, his phone started ringing. It was Jason.

things. “Can you answer that for me?”

He also wanted this small gesture to show Aurelia he had nothing to hide from her.

Aurelia picked up the phone and answered.

Before she could say a word, Jason’s voice came through. “Mr. Hawthorne, Ms. Lydia Hawthorne signed all the other papers, but she refuses to sign the transfer documents for Oakridge Estate.”

Aurelia raised an eyebrow and glanced at Dominic, who was walking out, drying his hands on a towel.

She tossed the phone directly to him.

Dominic caught it, saw it was Jason, and pressed it to his ear. “What’s going on?”

“Ms. Lydia Hawthorne won’t sign the transfer papers for Oakridge Estate. She says she loves this place too much.”

Dominic’s expression darkened instantly.

He glanced at Aurelia lying on the sofa, then stepped aside to take the call privately.

This house was what he’d bought when he married Aurelia. What could Lydia possibly love about it?

Jason added, “She took the documents with her. I think she’s still upset about you hurting her last night.”

When Jason went to get Lydia’s signature, he saw the cut on her face clearly.

Girls cared about their looks, and Lydia was definitely fuming. She was probably blaming everything on Aurelia.

Dominic said coldly, “Tell her if she doesn’t transfer Oakridge Estate back to Aurelia’s name, she can get ready to sleep on the

streets.”

Jason was caught off guard by his harshness.

Dominic pressed on, his voice menacing. “Cut off all her bank

accounts!”

He meant every word.

Jason quickly replied, “Yes, sir.”

Dominic hung up.

He walked back to Aurelia’s side, and their eyes met.

Aurelia’s lips twisted into a sharp, mocking smile. “Disgusted yet?”

Dominic said nothing.

Aurelia tapped her forehead lightly. “Oh, how naive I am. She’s your sister after all. Having the house in her name probably doesn’t bother you at all.

“She’s just trying to get under my skin on purpose.”

With that, she let out a cold, bitter laugh.

Dominic’s expression turned stormy. “She just likes Oakridge Estate. Don’t overthink it.”

Aurelia shot back, “Right, I’m overthinking everything. Lauren made me lose my baby-that was just me overcomplicating things, having a pregnancy fantasy because I wanted a kid so bad.

“Lydia, your mom, your grandma… They took everything you gave me, and that’s not them stealing. They just loved those. things too much!”

Aurelia spoke these words calmly, even with a smile. But that calmness, that smile, sent a chill down Dominic’s spine.
