Chapter 283
Wendy said eerily, “Now you know how to hit him, but it’s too late.”
If he had been properly taught since childhood, how would Adam have dared to do such a thing?
Unfortunately, his parents were trash themselves and failed to understand that truth.
Adam’s mother’s eyes widened. She saw Wendy take out a lighter. The smell of gas filled the room, and she seemed to realize what was about to happen. She cried out suddenly, “Don’t…”
Wendy did not hesitate. She pressed it down without pause, and flames erupted in an instant.
Dominic spent the entire night watching movies at the cyber cafe and did not realize that dawn had arrived.
He yawned, checked the time, and clicked to log off.
After leaving the cafe, he headed straight home. He had already called Katherine the night before.
As soon as he entered the house, he saw Isabella curled up on the sofa again, which made him frown.
He noticed that whenever he came home late, she refused to sleep and waited for him on the sofa every time.
The sound of the door woke her. Isabella opened her eyes groggily, and when she saw Dominic, she stood up at once and said happily, “Honey, you’re back!”
He gave a brief hum in response.
She walked over and asked, “Honey, what did you go out to do last night? You didn’t come back all night.”
“I was doing something,” Dominic said irritably.
Isabella widened her eyes and asked with a smile, “What was it?”
“Are you annoying or what? You just keep asking,” Dominic said coldly. “Do I have to report everything I do to you? Stop chirping every day. It’s annoying.”
Isabella’s smile froze. A look of grievance rose in her eyes as she said softly, “Honey… I was just asking. I was just worried about
you.”
“I don’t need your worry,” Dominic said impatiently. “If you want to worry, go find yourself another damn sworn brother, No one’s blaming you this time.”
The words struck like a fatal blow.
Isabella felt completely emptied, and she stood there for a long time without saying a word.
Only when Lilith came out, rubbing her eyes, did Dominic’s mood improve slightly. He picked her up and said, “Lily, you’re up so early?”
The girl replied drowsily, “I heard Daddy’s voice, so I got up.”
Warmth spread through Dominic’s chest, and he kissed her on the cheek.
Lilith giggled and lifted her small hands to block him. “Hey, that’s itchy. Daddy needs to shave!”
After staying up all night, Dominic’s beard had grown out. It pricked Lilith’s face and made her squirm
Dominic laughed. “Alright, Daddy’ll shave in a bit. What do you want for breakfast? I’ll make it for you.”

“I want french toast with blueberries!” the girl said after a moment of thought.
Dominic put her down and checked the fridge. Seeing that the ingredients were still there, he said, “Wait a moment.”
By then, Isabella had come back to herself. She walked to the sofa and sat down alone. Her expression looked empty and dazed.
Lilith walked over and asked, “Mommy, what’s wrong? Are you upset?”
Isabella forced a smile, picked her up, and said, “Mommy’s not upset. Mommy made a mistake and made Daddy angry. I’m thinking about how to make him happy again.”
