Chapter 520
Dominic stood outside, momentarily stunned. ‘Wait. That’s it?‘
The faint fragrance from her lips still lingered. The thought amused him, yet he could not help muttering, “Are you teasing a kid?”
He stared at the tightly shut door. His heart still tingled with restless anticipation, but he knew the good opportunity tonight had likely slipped away.
With a regretful shake of his head, he turned to leave.
The door to the neighboring room opened.
Wearing a silk nightgown, Isabella stepped out and called in surprise, “Honey?”
Dominic jerked in shock and stumbled, nearly losing his balance.
Isabella looked at him in confusion. “Honey, what are you doing?”
His heart pounded, but his face remained calm. “I came out to drink some water. You’re not asleep yet?”
“I heard some noise earlier, so I came out to check. You…” Isabella’s gaze drifted toward her sister’s room, her expression tinged with puzzlement.
Dominic felt an inexplicable surge of nervousness, though none of it showed on his face. He even frowned with irritation and said, “Go back to sleep. Don’t come out if nothing’s wrong.”
With that, he walked into the master bedroom and closed the door.
Isabella stood there, uneasy. Something felt off. Her husband’s hurried steps reminded her of a thief sneaking away.
As the thought settled in, loneliness crept across her expression. Could it be that her husband disliked her that much?
She walked to the master bedroom door and raised her hand, intending to knock.
After a few seconds of hesitation, she sighed, lowered her hand, and returned to Lilith’s room.
Early the next morning, Dominic was still half asleep when loud banging rattled the door.
“Daddy! Daddy! Wake up!”
Dominic opened his eyes at the sound of the little girl’s voice outside. He glanced at his phone. It was barely past six.
“Lily!” he snapped irritably. “When it’s time for school you can’t wake up, but when it’s time to play you’re up earlier than a rooster!”

Her eyes rolled playfully. She leaned forward and planted a kiss on Cominic’s chest. Then she hugged his arm and shook it, calling in a sweet, syrupy voice, “Cat”
