Chapter 200
After a long while, Katherine finally emerged from the bathroom. A bath towel was wrapped around her, and her hair dripped steadily with water.
Her cheeks burned as she shot Lilith a fierce glare. “I told you not to open the door!”
Dominic felt awkward and rubbed the bridge of his nose. “Uh… did something happen just now?”
Katherine glared at him again. “You’re still pretending?”
Dominic fell silent.
Unwelcome images clung stubbornly to his mind. His former sister–in–law had an undeniably good figure.
‘She even has waist dimples… Ahem!‘ His thoughts had wandered.
“Why are you showering in the middle of the day?” Dominic asked.
“What business is that of yours?” Katherine snapped.
She had been seen naked again. This made it the second time, and worse, it had been her brother–in–law. Or rather, her ex-
brother–in–law.
The embarrassment left her seething. Anger was the only cover she could manage.
Lilith had no idea she had caused trouble. She spoke cheerfully. “Auntie sleeps during the day every day and showers in the afternoon-”
“Shut up!” Katherine snapped through clenched teeth.
Dominic understood. Someone like Katherine clearly lived with her days and nights reversed.
Knowing it was not wise to linger, he said, “I’m here to pick up Lily.”
“I know,” Katherine replied coldly. “Lily, you’re not going anywhere today.”
The girl’s mouth fell open. “Huh?”
Katherine sneered, “You caused trouble again today, and you still think you’re going out tonight?”
Lilith’s face darkened at once. She turned toward her father for help.
Dominic pretended not to notice. He laughed lightly and rose to his feet. “Then I’ll head back. Call me if anything comes up.”
Under the girl’s resentful stare, he took a few quick steps toward the door.
Before leaving, he turned back and offered a mild reminder. “Katherine, your towel isn’t wrapped properly.”
With that, he opened the door and bolted out.
Katherine instinctively looked down. Her face flushed scarlet as she ground her teeth. “Do–mi–nic.”
Lilith blinked. “Auntie, why are you calling Daddy? He already left.”
Just recalling what had happened made Katherine feel uncomfortable from head to toe.
She wore only a towel, and even the hem had not been secured properly.
The embarrassment made her want to disappear into the ground.
She picked up the cup on the coffee table and took a sip of water. Only then did the shame ease slightly. She snorted at Lilith.” What do I have in my hand?”

The girl giggled. “I know! It’s a teacup!”
“No,” Katherine said with a perfectly straight face. “This is a tragedy. And it’s also you. Lily, tonight you are destined for tragedy.
“Huh?” Lilith’s smile froze.
In his car, Dominic suddenly thought of a song. ‘Caught between the truth and what I shouldn’t see…‘
