She Left She Thrived She’s Worth Billions novel Chapter 235

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?”

Global Arven Assembly Center.

Tonight, the biological data center officially named its plan to build a specialized genetic profile database for children: Project NovaGate. A unique kickoff event was held to celebrate.

Dominic attended in full formal wear, accompanied by Evelyn and Lila.

It was a masquerade ball.

The male guests mostly opted for black suits or tuxedos, with masks covering their faces.

In contrast, the female guests’ attire was a dazzling variety of styles, each with its own charm.

For Evelyn, tonight’s masquerade was the perfect stage to show herself off.

She wore a light golden curly wig, a silver ball gown adorned with countless crystals, and held a magnificent magic wand.

Lila wore a light blue princess dress identical to the one from the Disney animated movie.

The two of them were dressed as the Fairy Godmother and Cinderella.

The reason for this was that tonight's masquerade was not only Evelyn's stage.

It was also Lila’s.

After their last meal together, Evelyn had contacted Bryant several more times in private. While Bryant hadn't made a final promise, he had basically confirmed Lila as the spokesperson for Project NovaGate.
