Melanie was so gentle, considerate, and understanding…
But the more she behaved this way, the more unsettling he found it.
Dominic touched his chest.
His thoughts were a mess.
He had never thought of himself as someone who would waver between Evelyn and Melanie.
He was a faithful person.
Once he had chosen Evelyn, he had intended to love only her for the rest of his life.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have gone four years without touching Melanie.
And yet…
Dominic picked up his phone, hesitated for a moment, and then called Gavin.
“Hello? Dominic…”
“Gavin, are you free tonight?”
“Tonight? I’m free after eight.”
“Then after eight, at the usual spot.”
Hanging up, Dominic held his phone, wanting to call Melanie again but not wanting to interrupt her bonding time with Lila.
Lila could call him ‘Dad’ whenever she wanted now.
Although he had lost his temper with her earlier, Lila was still his biological daughter.
The thought of hearing Lila call him ‘Dad’ in her sweet voice every day made his heart swell with emotion.
However, Lila couldn’t call Evelyn ‘Mom.’
So…
Could Lila call Melanie ‘Mom’?
The thought flashed through his mind, and Dominic shivered, quickly shaking his head.
“What am I thinking…”
He felt a headache coming on and squeezed his eyes shut.
That night, he and Gavin drank heavily at The Velvet Orchid, and he poured out all his frustrations to his friend.
“So, Melanie is this wonderful, and I’m treating her like this… Am I a total jerk?”
