Chapter 106
Dominic understood immediately when he received Autumn’s call and heard her explanation.
Although he had known her only a short time, he did not believe this young woman would crumble so easily after a loss.
After all, when they first met, she had gotten into the car alone with him. Without confidence, how could she have dared to do that?
There was only one explanation. She was acting again.
Dominic played along at once. He did not do it for her sake. Isabella had believed and defended Alexander so many times that his patience had long since worn thin. He also wanted Isabella to learn when to step back.
That night, Lilith refused to sleep, so Dominic sat beside her bed and told her a story.
Partway through, she suddenly began to cry. “I want Mommy…”
Dominic’s heart clenched at the sight of his daughter’s tear–filled eyes. His own eyes reddened.
When her crying showed no sign of stopping, Dominic fell silent for a moment. Then he handed her the phone she kept for
herself.
Lilith took it and immediately started a video call with Isabella.
“Mommy!” she shouted the moment Isabella’s face appeared on the screen.
“Lily! What’s wrong? Why are you crying?” Isabella asked, leaning against the bed as her gaze fixed on the tear tracks on the girl’s face.
“Mommy, you said you would come tonight. You lied to me!” Lilith pouted, her voice breaking.
Isabella said nothing.
Katherine took the phone with a smile. “Lily, Mommy is staying at my place tonight.”
The little girl’s eyes lit up. “Auntie!”
“Be good, okay. Mommy and Auntie will take you out to play tomorrow after school, alright?”
“Okay!”
“Then go to sleep now.”
“But I miss Mommy. I can’t sleep,” the girl said sadly.
She was smart. In her small heart, she understood that her parents had separated as of today, and the realization filled her with panic and sorrow.
Katherine sighed softly and comforted her again and again.
After a long while, Lilith reluctantly hung up.
Isabella stood beside Katherine, already crying uncontrollably.
Katherine’s expression turned cold. “How do you still have the nerve to cry? When you were flirting with your sworn brother, did you ever think this day would come?”

Isabella shook with remorse. “I didn’t flirt. I’m sorry. I never imagined being apart from my husband…”
“You’re not sorry to me,” Katherine replied coolly. “You’re sorry to Lily, and to Dominic.”
The words struck Isabella like a knife to the heart.
