Chapter 233
Dominic frowned and asked, “Where are they?”
“Lily’s asleep in Katherine’s room, and Jessica went back to hers.”
“Then you should go to sleep too,” Dominic said.

She bit her lip and suddenly flipped over, pinning him beneath her.
Dominic had no time to react. She knocked him back onto the bed, and he snapped, “Isabella, what are you doing? We’re already divorced!”
Isabella looked down at him, her gaze fixed and intense, obsession flickering in her eyes. She lifted the hem of her nightgown and said softly, “Honey, you haven’t touched me in so long. Don’t you want to?”
“I don’t,” Dominic replied flatly.
Even if he did, it would never be with her.
Isabella licked her lips. “But I want to. Honey, I love you!”
Her eyes grew hazy as she spoke. She bent down and pressed a flurry of frantic kisses to his face.

‘How does he know?‘ Isabella’s face drained of color, her thoughts tumbling into chaos. ‘Should I confess?‘
If she did, Dominic would misunderstand everything. He would never forgive her.
Her heart pounded violently. She took a deep breath, forced her panic down, and said, “H–How could that be? Who told you that? Don’t listen to other people’s nonsense. Honey, I swear I only love you!”
That person was already dead. There was no reason to dig up the past and invite more trouble. In the end, Isabella chose silence.
Dominic nodded. “Alright. I understand. You should leave now.”
Isabella bit her lip. “Honey, you can feel your-

“Get out!” Dominic’s voice turned icy, the words nearly shouted.
Isabella trembled. The light drained from her face, and she left the room with a heavy heart.

Dominic locked the door and lay back on the bed. He stared at the ceiling. After a long while, he murmured, “I hope it’s not what I’m thinking…”
