Dominic frowned, his voice dropping. “You had people investigate this? ”
Autumn caught his expression and flinched.
“I–I only checked a little bit,” she stammered.
“If you could dig up something like this, it wasn’t just a little bit,” Dominic said. He didn’t sound angry.
His eyes stayed on the road as he added lightly, “Whatever. It doesn’t matter that you know. It’s just… this much p>
“I think if you’re that determined to divorce, it’s hardly something that can be summed up as ‘just this much. “ ” Autumn tilted her head and studied his profile.
For a moment, she thought her grandmother’s taste wasn’t bad at all. There really was no bad angle to his face. He was handsome–strong, composed, effortlessly masculine.
