Chapter 538
Dominic fell silent when he heard Isabella’s words.
She took his hand and pressed it against her chest. Tears clouded her eyes. “Honey, feel this. This is my heart. It has always
belonged to you.
“I’ve made mistakes before. I didn’t care enough about your feelings. I… I thought you wouldn’t mind. I never imagined I could lose you. If I had known Alex wanted to hurt you, I swear, the moment he had that thought, I would have made sure he never lived to see another day.
“I know the damage I caused can’t be undone, but I can’t lose you. Honey, can… you let me make it up to you? As long as we’re still together, I’ll spend 10 years, 20 years, a lifetime… even an eternity making it up to you, okay?”
Isabella’s voice trembled with sobs, her tone humble to the extreme.
Complex emotions filled Dominic’s eyes, yet he still shook his head. “Isabella, things have changed. Your obsession is too strong. In this world, no one is indispensable to anyone.”
Isabella wiped her tears and spoke with stubborn resolve. “Honey, you’re wrong. I can’t live without you.”
Dominic let out a quiet sigh. “Alright. Let’s not talk about this anymore.”
He picked up his cutlery and resumed eating breakfast.
Isabella hummed softly and watched him in silence.
Earlier, when Dominic said she wasn’t as good as Katherine, panic had surged through her.
She knew her husband was handsome and kind, and many women pursued him. That alone did not frighten her. But if Katherine set her sights on him, Isabella truly did not know what she would do.
She would certainly defend her love. Of that she had no doubt. Yet Katherine was also her older sister, someone she had grown up with. She did not want the sisters to turn against each other.
At the thought, a deep sense of grievance spread across Isabella’s face. She had never imagined that one day an enemy might appear within her own family.
After breakfast, Dominic stepped outside and stood there, lost in thought.
Isabella remained at his side.
When she saw him standing there without moving, she quietly brought out a chair from inside. “Honey, sit down for a bit.”
Dominic glanced at it. “You sit. I’m not tired.”
Isabella pressed her lips together, carried the chair back inside, and returned to stand beside him.
Before long, noon arrived.
Isabella’s heart grew heavier. She snapped a picture of Dominic’s back and quietly posted it to her social media.
[My husband seems to have a broken heart (sad)]
Oliver saw the post and nearly burst out laughing before giving it a like.
Not long after, Katherine liked it as well.
Isabella’s eyes lit up. She proudly showed Dominic the screen. “Honey, Kathy liked it!”

Dominic glanced at it and curled his lips. “Go inside.”

In the afternoon, Lilith grew tired after playing with the old lady and said she wanted to nap. Dominic carried her upstairs and stayed beside her until she fell asleep.
Once Lilith was asleep, Isabella could hardly contain herself. “Honey, Lily’s asleep!”
Dominic looked at her with suspicion. “She’s asleep. So?”
