Dominic, dressed in a sharp ash gray suit, looked refined and elegant. His striking appearance attracted

attention wherever he went, and walking next t him meant being the subject of countless stares. Bella had no

idea how she managed to walk out of the hospital hand-in-hand with him.

She felt completely numb. She never expected him to pull something like this today. It almost gave her a cardiac

arrest.

Bella forced a sinile. "When did | ever ignore you? When was | ever cold to you? Would | even dare? If anything,

it's you-you're the one who's alway mad atand givingthe silent treatment."

Dominic pretended not to hear her. "Really? If you hadn't drivencrazy, | wouldn't have had a reason to act

that way. Anyway, it's too cold tonight, won't be able to sleep, so 1 suggest we sleep together."

Bella's heart skipped a beat. "There's heating in the house, so it's not cold at all. Besides, I'm staying up late

tonight to binge-watch a show." Dominic didn't let it go. "Then, I'll cto your room and watch it with you. I'm

admit it out loud, she knew it was for him from the moment she started knitting the scarf. She wasn't sure how it

would turn out yet, but if he saw it before it was finished, she'd never hear the end of it. He'd tease her

relentlessly.

When they returned to Miller Manor, Dominic mentioned during dinner that he'd have someone else take

Pudding for a walk.

With her short fur, Pudding couldn't handle the cold weather well, so Sylvia dressed Pudding in a cute little coat

Cup when you're done."

Bella suddenly found it hard to swallow her food. It wasn't her fault for overthinking. His intentions were painfully

obvious.

She dragged her feet for as long as possible before finally heading upstairs,

When she walked into his room, Dominic was already out of the shower and dressed in a loose, light-gray

sweater. He sat by window, casually fiddling with his laptop. On the screen was a foreign film-the kind of

atmospheric thriller Bella usually loved.

Bella sat down next to him, but the movie didn't have Zhanese subtitles-only Talnese, which she wasn't fluent in.

It was hard for her to follow, and her mind kept drifting back to the half-knitted scarf hidden in her room. She

couldn't focus at all.

Noticing her distraction, Dominic said in a low voice, "Felix is back in the country. You knew that, right?"

Bella froze for a second. "I didn't know."

Of course, she didn't know. She had deleted Felix's contact information right in front of Dominic. The fact that he

was bringing him up now was clearly intentional.
