Unloved Unwanted Unstoppable (Seraphina and Dominic) novel Chapter 495

The car was completely silent.

Dominic held his phone, the screen lighting up and going dark repeatedly.

He turned his head to glance at Seraphina; her profile was sharp and unyielding, stripped of any unnecessary emotion.

Swallowing hard, he tried to test the waters.

"Seraphina, do you want Chinese or Western food for dinner tonight?"

Seraphina kept her eyes fixed on the road.

"We'll wait until we pick up Lily to decide."

Dominic's lips parted slightly, but he ultimately kept his mouth shut.

The car drove smoothly all the way to the kindergarten.

A crowd of vehicles was already parked outside, with parents clustered in small groups waiting by the gates.

From a distance, Seraphina spotted a tall, distinguished figure.

Gideon Cole stood near the entrance, holding Lily's small hand in his.

Wearing a little pink backpack, the little girl was looking up at him, chatting away enthusiastically.

Gideon leaned in, his normally austere expression softening with an incredibly natural, genuine patience as he listened to her.

Dominic saw them, too.

His grip on his phone violently tightened.

A heavy weight slammed into his chest, leaving him inexplicably cold.

Seraphina parked the car securely and pushed the door open to step out.

The moment Lily saw her, the little girl's eyes lit up brightly.

"Mom!"

Dropping Gideon's hand, she launched herself into Seraphina's arms.

Seraphina bent down to catch her, effortlessly lifting her into a warm embrace.

"Were you a good girl at kindergarten today?"

Lily nodded emphatically. "Gideon said he's treating us to dinner tonight."

She looked up with wide, innocent eyes.

"Mom, I really want to go."

Seraphina paused for a moment, looking up to meet Gideon's gaze.

Gideon's expression was calm, but the moment he caught Seraphina looking, a faint, charming smile played on his lips.

Feeling helpless but fond, Seraphina softly agreed.

"Alright."

Dominic finally stepped out of the car, walking over with hasty strides.

He forced a stiff smile and crouched down to meet his daughter's eye level.

"Lily."

At the sight of him, Lily's bright little face instantly turned freezing cold.
