Chapter 230
“Dominic, what were you just talking about with my brother?” Katherine asked as she saw Dominic come back in.
He smiled. “I told him not to worry. It’s fine p>
Katherine gave a brief reply, then asked with clear concern, “Dominic, do you think that pervert might come back? That… was really scary p>
At the mention of that man, fear flickered in her eyes. Only when she looked at Dominic did she feel even the slightest sense of safety.
Dominic thought for a moment, then said, “Sigh. I think there’s a very high chance he’ll turn back from the wrong path, fully realize his mistakes, and never dare do something like that again p>
Isabella looked thoughtful. She more or less understood what Dominic and Oliver had discussed on the phone, so she said, “It’s all right now, Kathy. He definitely won’t dare come back p>
Katherine let out a quiet breath. “I hope so p>
Dominic glanced at the time. “Lily’s still at home. I should head back before she goes completely wild playing around with that girl, Jessica p>
He turned as if to leave.
“Dominic!” Katherine called out instinctively.
Seeing him about to go, she did not know why, but a sudden unease rose in her chest.
Dominic turned back, confusion in his eyes.
Isabella frowned. Hearing her sister call him Dominic again and again had never seemed like an issue before. But today, it felt inexplicably uncomfortable.
More importantly, when Isabella had pushed the door open earlier, she had seen her sister and her husband hugging. That image still lingered in her mind.
Katherine bit her lip. “Um… I’m hungry. How about I go to your place and eat with you p>
Dominic saw no issue with adding another place setting. He smiled. “Sure. Let’s go together p>
“Wait!” Katherine’s eyes lit up. She rushed into the room, rummaging around for something.
When she came back out, she was pushing a suitcase.
Isabella’s eyes widened. “Sis, what are you doing p>
Katherine cleared her throat. “Since I’m already eating at his place, what’s the big deal if I eat a few more meals there p>
Something felt off to Isabella, though she could not quite explain why. “That may be true, but p>
“All right, all right, let’s go. I’m starving,” Katherine said, ignoring Isabella’s expression as she walked straight ahead.
They went downstairs together.
Just as Katherine was about to get into Dominic’s car, Isabella hurried over and stopped her. “Hey, get in my car. I need to talk to you p>
Katherine had no choice but to climb into Isabella’s Porsche. Given her expression, there was even a faint hint of disappointment.
Dominic did not mind. He started the car and drove toward Luxe Residence.

In the car behind him, Isabella’s cheeks were tense as she got straight to the point. “Sis, I think there’s something wrong with you. Something serions p>
Katherine’s heart skipped a beat. She replied calmly, “What problem could I possibly have p>
“If you were just coming to eat, fine. Then why did you bring a suitcase p>
Katherine sighed. “You know my place has already been exposed, so it’s not very safe. Since I’m going over to eat anyway, I might as well stay there for a few days p>
Isabella frowned deeply. “Why do I feel like you wanted to move in, and eating is just an excuse p>
Those words made Katherine’s face flush instantly.
Embarrassment turned into indignation. “Isabella, what do you mean by that? You were the one who told me earlier to harass Dominic. No, that’s not right. To flirt with him. Ugh, that’s not right either.
“Anyway, you were the one who said that you wanted my help. Now that you’ve moved in yourself, you think you don’t need me anymore, so you’re burning the bridge after crossing it, right p>
She had felt a bit guilty at first, but the more she spoke, the more confident she became. By the end, Katherine sounded completely righteous.
Isabella was overwhelmed by her momentum. “I–Is that so p>
“Of course it is,” Katherine said decisively. “So me going over to live there is helping you. It’s for your own good. Got it?” Isabella had nothing left to say. She still felt that something was not quite right, yet her sister’s words also seemed oddly reasonable.
In the end, Isabella pressed her lips together, started the car, and headed toward Luxe Residence.
Dominic arrived first and waited for them. He helped Katherine carry her suitcase, and they went upstairs together.
After opening the door, they saw one big kid and one little kid sitting side by side, completely absorbed in a video game.
Lilith heard the noise and looked up.
“Auntie, Mommy!” she exclaimed.
She jumped off the sofa and ran over with delight.
