The Daring Billionaire’s Wife novel (Vanessa and Dominic) novel Chapter 169

Vanessa

It's been at least thirty minutes since I met up with Mia to catch up but she's barely paid attention as only one thing seems to be of importance to her.

I once again shake my head at how she just stares at her hand and she glances at me with a giggle.

"You're really going to have to get used to this," she says. "I still can't decide what is cuter between the engagement ring on my finger or Charlotte! Time flies so quickly. I can't believe she'll be three years old in a week."

"I can't believe it either." I nod in agreement. "You know what else I can't believe? That you and Frank are getting married, considering how many times you broke up in the past three years."

"You're right about that but in the end, I realized that's the man I want to spend the rest of my life with."

"I can see that and that's why you won't stop looking at your engagement ring and don't have time for me."

She sighs. "I'm sorry. I promise I'll give it a rest. This is supposed to be some quality time together since you're so busy these days with establishing new businesses in different industries and expanding your hair care line, which by the way, has been such a huge success despite what that bitch did on that day. Will you ever visit her?"

"One of these days, I might."

"That's what you've been saying for the past few years."

"There have been times when I've woken up and decided that I'll go to see her, but end up changing my mind because she's not worth my time, but one day, I'll definitely pay her a visit."

"Do you think she's changed?"

"People like her never change."

"I guess that's why Dominic hasn't gone to see her either!"

"Vanessa?" A familiar voice says from the other side, making Mia and I look over.

My jaw drops in surprise but I soon compose myself. "Patrick?" My eyes dart between him and the beautiful lady beside him.

I could've easily told Dominic all about Patrick through a phone call but because he took the day off, I thought it would be more interesting in person.

As soon as I'm in the house, I take off my heels, one of the butlers placing some slippers at my feet.

"Where's Charlotte and my husband?"

"They're in the cinema room."

"I see," I say to her, making my way there before I can head up to the bedroom.

With the door to the luxurious cinema room open, the sight before me makes my jaw drop in amusement. They're both sitting on the floor, each wrapped in a blanket which goes over their heads. She sits very close to him as they watch her favorite show.

Since I can only see their backs, I instantly burst into laughter so loudly that they both look back at me.

"What?" He dramatically shrugs with a chuckle.

"You two look so cute. I really wasn't expecting this."

"I'll do anything for my princess."

"Mommy!" Charlotte struggles to remove her little blanket, so she rushes to me while it's still on her and I lift her, planting a kiss on her cheek.

Dominic rises to his feet and approaches us, wrapping his arm around me for his own kiss and just as our lips touch, Charlotte bursts into tears and we stop.

She instantly calms down and he kisses her cheek, her face brightening up as she giggles.

"I hope you didn't forget that we have dinner plans tonight," he says to me.

"I definitely didn't forget."
