Cross Roads

Chapter 142 "I see. Dominick nodded.

Stephanie stood there, watching the black Bugatti in front of her speed away with mixed emotions.

Dominick and Hayley just left, leaving her behind.

Flaming Bar was filled with noise and bustle. Standing in this large and quiet underground parking lot, Stephanie felt inexplicably lonely.

Dominick asked the bodyguard to send her back to Wellington Villa. On the way back. Stephanie looked out the car window. The street lights rapidly receding out.

Something urgent seemed to have happened to Scott Stephanie told herself not to ask. It was a matter within their circle. If she asked, Dominick would say that she was making a fuss, and then she would overthink it She had to admit that she was not a people person, and she could not hide her depressed mood. When she returned to Wellington Villa, the maid asked her to eat, but she had no appetite.

Stephanie took a bath, put on comfortable pajamas, and went to bed. She told herself to sleep early and stop overthinking However, she tossed and turned in bed, not being able to fall asleep. "Why can't I know what happened?" She was concerned about it. In addition she felt like she was excluded from their circle.

The phone on the bedside table suddenly vibrated. Stephanie perked up and quickly sat up.

She took the phone and looked at the screen, but then she felt a little disappointed. It wasn't a message from Dominick.

SnugglePig (Stephanie, are you free now?" Molly y sent Stephanie a Whatmessage. [If not, I won't disturb you and Dominion. Forget it.) She seemed to be hesitant, thinking that it was impolite to disturb a couple at night.

StephForce replied: [Dominick is out. I'm alone in the bedroom. What's up?] Seeing this reply, Molly was a little excited. She quickly asked Stephanie.

SnugglePig (Stephanie, tellhow to get along with children.] StephForce: I don't know. By the way, you said that you brought a five-year-old boy y home. What does that mean? Molly, it is illegal to take others children hwithout permission. No matter what happened, just leave it to the police.] Molly looked at the message with a hesitant expression and turned to glance at the little boy behind her. She sighed helplessly.

SnugglePig: [The boy's father is an important partner in my company's project, and that man helpedlast time. He askedto take care of his son in person, and I couldn't send the boy to the police station. That's not a good idea.] Stephanie was a little curious about whom that man was. She had never heard Molly mention that man before, She hadn't even finished editing the message yet, and Molly sent her a voice message "Stephanie, please teachhow to get along with a child. It's so difficult. I gave him food, but he said he was not hungry. I gave him scute little accessories to coax him, but they looked atlike I was an idiot. Oh gosh! That boy is so troublesome, Molly complained in a low voice.

Stephanie heard her tone and chuckled. It seemed that Molly was really helpless.

"The linle boy I met in Maple Park was a left-behind child. He was shy. It was probably because his mother abandoned him when he was a baby and left him to his grandmother. So he was pretty well-behaved except that he tended to cry" SnugglePig: [Why? They are all children with psychological trauma. Why is the one you met so obedient? This boy at my his particularly a little bad-temper.] Molly was depressed.

"When I arrived at the first floor of Flaming Bar, I found that my clothes were a bit messy, so I went to the restroom. But I saw a very handslittle boy in the ladies' room. I thought he had gone to the wrong place, so I gently asked him to leave, but the boy tensed his face and stared at a cubicle." Hearing this message, Stephanie was shocked. [Could it be that his mother was having sex with a man inside!] Chapter 142 Molly looked sullen. “Yeah, it's really disgusting. The cubicle door was not locked. Maybe the two were too impatient... Bah, they are like animals in heat. That woman is so shameless. Her son was standing outside, but she moaned loudly in the cubicle. Bitch! In the end, Molly couldn't help cursing.

"Not long after, a man ran over angrily and kicked the cubicle door open. I saw it all. The man in the cubicle even took off his pants, and he almost started it" Stephanie heard Molly's angry voice messages with a thoughtful expression StephForce: [Molly, you brought that boy home. What are you going to do! He saw it... Maybe you should go to coax him to sleep first. It's almost 10 PM] A five-year-old boy was p influence on children.

pure and simple, but he understood sthings, such as what his mother did was a betrayal. It would have a terrible Molly didn't know what to do. After thinking for a while, she sent. "Forget it. I don't even know the boy's name. He doesn't talk toand has a stern face all the time. He didn't cry or make a fuss when he saw his parents quarreling. He is surprisingly calm" He was so calm, making Molly feel sorry for him StephForce [Molly, stop sendingmessages. Just sit next to the boy quietly and accompany him. If he gets tired and falls asleep, cover him with a blanket ] Stephanie couldn't think of a good solution, so she gave her a suggestion based on her understanding. Suddenly, she thought of Dominick. He had a cold personality and didn't talk much. He always had a frown and refused to say anything.

At that time, she had no choice but to cling to him, sit next to him, and accompany him quietly.

Stephanie didn't know whether Dominick would feel annoyed, but other than that, she really didn't know what to do.

Suddenly, the message alert tone sounded twice. Stephanie glanced at the screen. It was a very brief message from Dominick. [I be back later. Go to bed early] She looked at the screen and suddenly felt that the previous entanglements and depressions had disappeared. Dominick was still caring about her.

one back Stephanie put the phone back on the bedside table, dimmed the lights, and lay back on the bed. She felt a little sleepy When she woke up the following day, she found that Dominick had not returned hlast night.

"Sandra, did Dominick not cback last night?" After washing up and changing her clothes njen rushed to the main main house: She wanted to call Dominick but feared that she would disturb him. She happened to meet Sandra, who was preparing breakfast, so she walked up to her and asked hurriedly.

"Mr. Wellington this morning..." Sandra turned to look at Stephanie, just as she was about to continue, a woman interrupted her coldly. "Stephanie, your husband is busy outside, but you could still sleep well, Is that how your parents taught you?" It was Mary. Stephanie looked at her with a complicated expression, hesitated for a while, and asked. “Why do you hateso much!" lary was a little stunned.

Stephanie asked directly, and Mary was a

Mary didn't retort to Hayley but just left. Stephanie looked at her back, feeling even more confused, but she didn't continue to ask.

tayley continued, "Mary cheated on her husband when she was young, and Dominick saw that scene." X
