Katherine choked up. “Dominic, from now on everything will be fine. I… I’ll be with you.”
It sounded as though she had made a major decision, and her voice trembled slightly.
Dominic’s eyes brightened. He brushed the hair from her forehead and said, “What nonsense are you talking about? Do you think I’d ever let you run away?”
Katherine lowered her head and murmured softly, almost like a shy little girl, “Mm.”
They sat together in silence, the quiet around them filled with warmth and happiness.
After a while, Katherine whispered, “Dominic, you’re much more confident now than you used to be.”
Dominic looked a little surprised. “Am I?”
“You are.” Katherine smiled. “You may not have noticed, but you’re steadier now and… more attractive.”
Dominic laughed. “Hey, how come I never noticed?”
“That’s a subtle influence. You’ve been successful in your career,” Katherine said thoughtfully.
Dominic smiled and nodded, but he understood the truth deep down.
His changes did not come only from career success. Even though his net worth had reached tens of billions, that alone meant little to many people. Yet even when he stood in front of Stephen, he could remain calm and confident.
Those changes came from his special abilities. Repeatedly strengthening his body had done more than improve his physical condition. It had given him unmatched confidence and deep inner assurance.
When he first met that little troublemaker, he had only thought about how to solve the problem and sometimes felt worried. Now he felt no fear at all. Even when facing the Hales, he could remain calm.
When he did not respond, Katherine pressed her lips into a faint smile and continued, “So, Dominic, do you have any plans for the future? Any goals?”
Dominic replied, “Actually, from the beginning, I only wanted to take care of Lily and let her grow up safely.”
“And now?”
“Now it’s still about taking care of Lily and watching her grow up. But… with you.”
He said it with a teasing smile.
Katherine flushed with embarrassment and could not help laughing. Her eyes curved into crescents, making her look both beautiful and enchanting.
Dominic stared at her in amazement. “Wow. How can such a beautiful woman exist in this world?”
Katherine’s cheeks reddened. She lightly tapped his arm. “Stop it! I don’t believe your goal is that simple
Dominic sighed. “Yeah. With my grandfather’s identity revealed and the company growing larger. actually feel… a strange sense of responsibility.”
Katherine nodded. “That’s true. Dad told me the Sinclairs aren’t just ours anymore. The Sinclar Group’s many businesses are closely tied to Eastmere State’s economy. Don’t be fooled by their assets of only two or three billion dollars. That’s just the visible part.”
Dominic had little interest in the Sinclairs‘ wealth, so he asked, “What about you? Do you have any goats?
“Me?” Katherine laughed. “I’ve always gone with the flow. Later, when I went to Skyline City with all of you, I just livestreamed a little every day, ate, and waited for life to unfold.”
Dominic replied bluntly, “I don’t buy that.”
Katherine laughed. “Alright, honestly… I didn’t like Yvonne, so I ran off to Skyline City because she kept setting me up on blind dates! Back then I thought I’d find an extraordinary man while I was there.”
She had never cared much about her career and focused more on her own happiness.
Since she had been single for seven years, Dominic found it amusing and asked, “So did you find him?”
Katherine glanced at him and huffed. “I found half of him.”
Dominic said nothing.
