Isabella rubbed her cheek and flashed a mischievous grin. “Honey, can you really bring yourself to kick me out p>
Dominic replied coldly, “Stop talking. I’ll give you three seconds p>
Isabella stiffened her neck and stared at him with stubborn defiance. “I’m not leaving p>
“Three! Two! One p>
When Dominic finished counting, Isabella still had not moved.
Cold moonlight washed over her smooth, pale skin and made her look like a finely crafted work of art, glowing softly in the dark.
Dominic’s gaze flickered. The shocking scene on the rooftop remained vivid in his mind.
He wanted to throw her out at once, but he could not bring himself to act so ruthlessly. Irritation edged his voice as he said, ” You’re really not leaving? Fine. Fine! I’ll go p>
He yanked up his pants and stormed out of the room.
Isabella stood frozen for a long moment. Then a captivating smile slowly curved at the corner of her lips.
She flopped onto Dominic’s bed, hugged a pillow, and inhaled deeply with bliss. “Smells like my husband! Today I get to sleep in my husband’s bed. Tomorrow we’ll sleep together. Go, Isabella. You’re the best”
The next morning…
“ Dominic? Why are you sleeping here p>
Dominic woke to Katherine’s startled voice. He opened his eyes groggily, sat up on the sofa, and took a few seconds to steady himself before asking, “What time is it p>
“7:30 a.m–Ah!” Katherine suddenly cried out. Her face flushed red, and she hurried back to her room.
Dominic froze. He looked down and immediately felt mortified.
He groaned, “What the hell is going on p>
This was all Isabella’s fault. He got up and went into the bedroom to change.
Isabella woke slowly. When she saw Dominic enter, she teased him with a lazy smile, “Honey, you’re up so early. Why don’t you sleep a little longer p>
Dominic snapped, “Move aside p>
Isabella ignored his tone. She shifted from the head of the bed to the foot, struck a tempting pose, and curled her finger. “Comme on, handsome p>
Dominic’s face twitched. He said stiffly, “Isabella, don’t get any ideas p>
He finished dressing and hurried out of the room.
Isabella watched him go and laughed. He looked as if he were fleeing. She reached out and called after him playfully, “Honey, where are you going p>
Outside, Dominic ran into Katherine. Her cheeks remained red. Certain images lingered in her mind, and she did not dare inget his eyes.
Awkward silence hung between them.
Dominic cleared his throat. “What do you want for breakfast? I’ll make it p>

“Anything is fine.” Katherine’s voice sounded unusually soft.
Dominic nodded and went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast by himself.
In a single day, everyone’s relationships seemed to have shifted in subtle ways. If Jessica knew that her step back had allowed everyone else to move forward, who knew what she would think?
When breakfast was ready, Isabella and Lilith came out as well.
Lilith looked happiest of all. Her parents and her aunt were all living under the same roof.
Meanwhile, Isabella felt suspicious. She studied Katherine for a moment before saying, “Kathy, something’s off about you p>
“You’re the one who’s off p>
“No, I really feel like
you p>
Flustered and embarrassed, Katherine cut her off sharply, “Stop talking. Eat quickly, and go to work when you’re done p>
“Okay.” Isabella had no choice but to fall silent.
Dominic finished eating first and stood up. “I’m heading to the office. Don’t wash the dishes after you eat. I’ll take care of them when I get back p>
With that, he left the house.
Lilith finished quickly as well and said excitedly, “Auntie, can you take me to the park later p>
