Lydia glanced at him and laughed softly.

Dominic rested his hands on the steering wheel and said evenly, “A lot of new things look shiny and glamorous on the outside, but who really knows what’s going on inside? This car may look old, but I’ve driven it for years. I know it inside and out, so there won’t be any accidents.”

Lydia’s heart skipped a beat. His words seemed to carry a deeper meaning, and the thought left her unsettled. She changed the subject at once. “Let’s go!”

Dominic hummed and started the car. “Where do you want to eat?”

“Let’s… go to Peachwood Town,” Lydia said, enunciating the name.

Dominic nodded. “That place is pretty famous. I haven’t been there in a long time.”

Peachwood Town was a restaurant with a strong sense of style. It worked well for dates and business meetings alike, but the prices ran high. Even a single dish cost close to 100 dollars.

Dominic had eaten there a few times with Isabella. The plating impressed him, but the flavor never matched the presentation.

Lydia smiled. “I really like that place.”

Dominic looked surprised. “Lydia, I didn’t realize you were a little rich lady too!”

Her smile froze for a moment. The prices there meant that one meal could easily run into the thousands.

replied with a simple “Oh,” and left it at that.

lly as he drove, the conversation moving back and forth without effort.

half an hour later, they pulled up in front of a restaurant with an unmistakably high end interior.

iter stepped forward and spoke with practiced politeness. “Hello, do you need valet parking?”

Dominic nodded and got out of the car with Lydia.

The waiter accepted the keys. “I’ll leave them at the front desk. When you’re done, just give them your license plate number to retrieve them.”

“Thank you,” Dominic said.

He then led Lydia inside.

It was just past noon, and Peachwood Town was not very crowded. Soft music drifted through the space like clear water, and the diners spoke in low voices that did not disturb one another.

Dominic gestured toward a table by the window. “Let’s sit there.”

Lydia hummed quietly, but her gaze shifted toward the center of the restaurant. Surprise crept into her voice. “Huh? That person looks familiar!”

Dominic followed her line of sight, and his pupils tightened at once.

In the middle of the restaurant, a woman in a black dress sat across from a young and handsome man.

The woman’s beauty stood out at a glance. Whatever the man had said drew a delicate smile to her lips, and the sight proved almost breathtaking. She exuded charm and allure.

Dominic had not expected to run into Isabella here, and his brow furrowed.

The man across from her kept his back turned, which hid his face from view.

Isabella seemed to sense his gaze. She lifted her head and met Dominic’s eyes.

She froze.

Then she noticed Lydia beside him, and her expression darkened at once.

She bit her lip and walked over in silence.

The man across from her turned as well. The moment Dominic saw his face, a chill settled in his eyes. It was Zachary. Isabella was having lunch with him.

Zachary rose from his seat and followed Isabella as she approached.

She pointed at Lydia and said, “Stay away from my husband!”

Zachary stood off to the side with his arms crossed and a smile of pointed amusement.
