Chapter 464
The next morning, Dominic rubbed his eyes, slipped on his slippers, and stepped out of his
room.
He stopped short. Lydia stood rigid in the center of the living room, straight as a post. The sight unsettled him.
“Damn, can’t you sit on the sofa?” he asked, exasperated.
At the sound of his voice, Lydia’s face brightened. “Sitting or standing makes no difference to me. I don’t get tired.”
Dominic shook his head and said nothing. He drank a glass of water, then went to wash up.
Soon after, he left the house with Lydia.
As he prepared to drive off, he noticed a man in his early 30s waiting downstairs, dressed in a suit and polished leather shoes.
The man stepped forward when he saw him. “Hello, are you Mr. Fleming?”
“I am,” Dominic replied, surprised.
The man gestured politely. “Miss Garcia asked me to pick you up.”
Dominic immediately understood that Autumn had sent him. He smiled. “Alright.”
He got into the car, Lydia taking the seat beside him. This time, he avoided speaking to her. He did not want to alarm the driver.
More than 20 minutes later, the car came to a stop at the foot of a mountain.
“Mr. Fleming, we’ve arrived,” the driver said.
Dominic looked up. Luxury cars lined the road all the way to the villa halfway up the mountain, parked bumper to bumper. Guests continued to arrive in a steady stream.
Dominic sighed inwardly. ‘As expected of the richest family.‘
“Thanks,” he said, then stepped out with Lydia.
Autumn’s clear, delighted voice rang out. “Dominic!”
He looked up and saw her standing not far away. She was tall and slender, her delicate face flushed pink from the cold, which only heightened her beauty.
“It’s windy out here,” he said quickly. “What are you doing outside?”
She wore a beige top and a white skirt. Late November air carried a sharp chill, and her outfit

was far too light for the weather.
She hurried toward him with a bright smile. “Waiting for you.”
Three simple words, yet they struck him with surprising force.
Autumn ignored the curious glances around them and slipped her hand into his, leading him toward the villa. “Let’s go.”
She had stood outside for one reason alone. Now that he had arrived, she did not want to waste
another second.
Lydia trailed behind them. Envy flickered across her face before she let out a quiet, lonely sigh.
Soon, they crossed the spacious courtyard.
It was Dominic’s first visit to Autumn’s home. The villa was enormous, its décor lavish and meticulously designed. It rivaled Jessica’s lakeside villa in both scale and extravagance.
Inside, the atmosphere buzzed with energy. Guests filled the hall, most gathered in small
