Chapter 117
“Ugh, I heard that at Northcity Elementary, some lunatic attacked people with a knife a couple of days ago.”
“That’s terrifying. I hope all the kids are okay.”
“Just thinking about it makes my skin crawl. Let’s stop talking about it. We need to keep a close eye on our little ones and never let them out of sight, not even for a second.”
Dominic frowned when he overheard the conversation. He got out of the car and fixed his gaze on the school entrance.
Moments later, Lilith came hopping over and threw herself into his arms. “Daddy, the teacher praised me today!”
“Really? My Lily is amazing!” Dominic said, giving her a thumbs–up.
Her eyes rolled with mischief, and she grinned. “Then can you reward me with an extra half hour of screen time tonight?”
“Haha, of course…” Dominic laughed, but under her eager stare, his smile turned stern. “Not. Finish your homework properly. After that, you get half an hour at most. One minute more and your butt’s going to regret it!”
She refused to give up. “Then can I have KFC?”
“You only get that once a month. You already had it last time, so not today.”
Lilith’s hopeful expression froze. She turned her head away and puffed out her cheeks. “Daddy is annoying!”
Dominic buckled her seat belt and hummed cheerfully as he started the car and headed toward Luxe Residence.
The drive took less than five minutes, but at the entrance, two striking figures made Dominic frown.
Lilith immediately rolled down the window and waved excitedly. “Mommy! Auntie!”
Isabella and Katherine stood at the gate.
Both sisters were at the height of their beauty, with flawless figures and features so similar they could pass for twins. They drew attention wherever they stood.
Several onlookers had already taken out their phones to snap photos in secret.
Dominic slowed to a stop.
Katherine walked over, and Lilith eagerly climbed out through the window. “Auntie, I missed you so much!”
As soon as Katherine lifted her up, Lilith planted a loud kiss on her cheek.
Katherine laughed brightly. “I missed you too!”
Isabella’s gaze never left Dominic as she called to him softly, “Honey.”
Dominic kept a neutral expression. He glanced at his daughter in Katherine’s arms and said, “I’ll go park

He drove toward the parking lot without sparing Isabella a glance.
Isabella’s eyes filled with grievance.
Katherine leaned closer and whispered, “You can’t rush this ”
Before long, Dominic returned after parking
Katherine smiled and said, “I heard you moved to a new place. Aren’t you going to show me around?”

Dominic nodded, and the group went together to the apartment.
Inside, Isabella looked around carefully and found no trace of another woman having lived there. She quietly let out a sigh of relief.
“I’ll cook,” Dominic said.
They were guests, and Katherine was there as well.
Dominic did not dislike Katherine. She could be sharp–tongued, but she never meant harm.
He checked the kitchen and said, “There aren’t many ingredients left. I’ll go buy groceries.”
Katherine’s expression changed. “I’ll go with you.”
Dominic did not refuse. Isabella could stay and watch Lilith without issue.
Less than five minutes after they left and got into the car, Dominic’s phone buzzed.
A text from Isabella appeared.
Isabella: [Honey I want fries and egg tarts]
