She Left She Thrived She’s Worth Billions novel Chapter 305

This made Dominic feel a profound sense of disappointment.

The money was a small matter; what was most important was the thought he had put into it.

This was the first time since before their marriage that he had put so much effort into preparing a surprise for Melanie.

"It's beautiful. I love it."

Melanie held the jeweled rose, smiled faintly, and then placed it back into the bouquet.

It was the same thank you as before, her voice utterly devoid of emotion.

Dominic was deeply disappointed.

But Melanie hadn't said she disliked it; she appeared to be pleased and happy.

Yet, for some reason, Dominic felt an indescribable unease in his heart.

He couldn't shake the feeling that Melanie was just humoring him.

But, even setting aside the priceless jeweled flower, what woman wouldn't be happy to receive even a simple bouquet of fresh flowers?

Giving himself a mental pep talk, Dominic cleared his throat and said to Melanie with great solemnity, "Honey, it's Valentine's Day. Let's have dinner together tonight! I've already made reservations at Grand Imperial Hotel… and then…"

Dominic trailed off, but the blissful smile he couldn't contain had already betrayed his inner thoughts.

Grand Imperial Hotel…

The name sent a small ripple through Melanie's mind.

If Melanie remembered correctly, in their four years of marriage, Dominic had never once scheduled a dinner date at a hotel, whether it was for Valentine's Day, her birthday, or their anniversary.

This was the one and only exception.

Her intuition told her that Dominic had ulterior motives.

For instance…

Getting a room and finally sleeping with her after dinner.

Melanie's gaze turned scrutinizing, but Dominic, lost in the fantasy of their upcoming date, didn't notice at all.

Just as Melanie had deduced, Dominic was fully prepared to consummate their marriage tonight.

They were husband and wife, after all.
