Chapter 163
When Dominic returned home, he heard the soul of running water coming from the bathroom. His heart
tightened, but he didn’t dare to make any moves, so he simply stood there quietly.
He recalled what Josh had said about Jane’s behavior being indicative of post–traumatic stress
disorder.
“She has a relatively mild form,” Josh had told him. “It’s best to resolve it through psychological
counseling. However, to untie the hell you must be the one who tied it. Since the root of the problem
lies with you, you are the one who can help her recover,”
Dominic took a deep breath.
He really wanted to help her get through this, but jane never gave him any chance to get close to her.
Just then, the bathroom door opened, and Jane walked out wrapped in a bath towel. When she
suddenly met his gaze, she let out a startled scream, realizing she is not alone in this house anymore.
“Jane…”
Before he could say anything, Jane quickly lowered her head and rushed into the bedroom, closing The
door tighdy.
That closed door seeined to separate them into two different worlds.
After a while, Jane opened the door slightly to steal a glance at him. She watched him tidying up the
house in the small living room and neatly folding the clothes from the balcony.
He used to be terrible at folding clothes, but now he folded them neatly.
In fact, he could give everything for her and change himself for her.
Jane pursed her lips, feeling a sensation that made her want to cry, claking her duoat.
After two days, she moved back to live with Kassie Davis. At times like this, she wanted to be with her
mather even more.
Since Kassie was discharged from the hospital and under medication, her mental state had improved
significantly, and her daily life was no longer affected.
This period was a rare moment of clarity for her, and after hearing about her daughter’s ordeal, she felt
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇteven more guilty and remorseful She wholeheartedly took care of Jane.
Although she still had nightmares of what happened to her, being with her mother gave her some
peace of mind.
However, that person’s figure still lingered in her mind.
When she calmed down, she often asked herself, were all the good lines of the past year really worth
less than a status? However, she knew that what she genuinely cared about was his concealment.
“What a pity,” Kassie sighed softly. “I haven’t even met my son in law once. Will I really never get to see
him in the future?”
“Mom!” Jane looked at her, suddenly unsure of what to say.
“Jane, I always believe that people should follow their hearts,” Kassie spoke in a gentle voice, Status,
position, money, these are all just worldly things. The feelings between two people should be pure,
without the burden of these worldly weights.”
!!!!
“Listen mare to the voice in your heart. If you still love him, you should be with him!” She said.
“But…” Jane pursed her lips, hesitating,
She turned around to put on her shoes and went out, using buying groceries as an excuse. She wanted
to find a quiet place to be alone for a while.
In the park near the community, she unknowingly sat there for two hours and completely forgot about
buying fish and groceries.
To her surprise, as soon as she returned home, she smelled the aroma of cooking coming from the
kitchen.
Jane walked into the kitchen, where a tall and straight figure was busily working, Kassir looked
nervously at her and quietly asked, “Jane, is this…is this my son in–law?–
Jane’s heart trembled, trying hard to control her breathing,
“He said his name is Dominic. As soon as he came in, he called me ‘Mom‘ and didn’t even drink a cup
of tea. He cleaned inside and out.”
“But…but I specially placed this sofa in the middle, and he pushed it against the wall with such forcel
How will I ever push it back?” Kassie pointed to the balcony, frowning
Jane was speechless at her mother’s words, feeling both amused and exasperated.
“He bought fish and vegetables, a whole lot of then. The refrigerator can’t hold them all” Kassle
continued, ‘You see, the rest is piled up there! It’s like he cleared the entire supermarket aisle!”
Jane helped her mother sit down, planning to go to the kitchen, but at that moment, Dominic came out
with the dishes, and the two of them froze upon meeting each other’s gaze.
Jane lowered her head, avoiding his paze, and went straight to the kitchen.
The scene inside was quite a mess, and Jane sighed with a bitter smile. In the end, she was the one
who had to clean up the battlefield that the kitchen transformed into.
She remembered when they first got together, he always acted like a big shot and waited for others. to
serve him. Later, whenever he cooked, the kitchen would be a mess. At that time, Jane couldn’t
understand his actions. Was housewark really this difficult?
Looking back, everything made sense. Dominic grew up always being served by others, and doing the
housework to this extent is not easy for him.
Dominic brought out the last plate of fish and stood stiffly to the side, clutching his apron with both
hands.
Jane felt her heart soften when she saw him sweating profusely, and her eyes welled up with tears.
“Mom…” Dominic’s voice was low. “It might not look very appealing. In the taste should be fine. Please
try it!”
Kassie smiled and pulled Jane to sit down.
Jane bit her lip. He had never done these things at home, right? Had he ever cooked a meal for his
own parents?
If it weren’t for her, he wouldn’t have to be so submissive and accommodating..
They belonged to two different worlds right from the start.
Thinking about this, Jane felt a surge of discomfort.
She stood up, intending to leave with her head down. Dominle was startled and quickly followed. He
wanted to hold her hand but was afraid she wouldn’t like it, so he kept his distance. “Are you going.

out?” he asked in a composed voice.
Jane didn’t reply.
However, Kassie, ever the perceptive one, tried to intervene and create a more comfortable
atmosphere. “Dominic, why don’t you accompany Jane outside, or…you two can eat out together!”
Jane changed her shoes in a hurry and quickly rushed downstairs. Dominic didn’t even have time to
greet Kassie and quickly followed her.
Jane walked along the road, and he followed.
They maintained a distance, neither too close, nor too far, their shadows elongated by the setting sun,
stretching on the ground. Unconsciously, Dominic walked into her shadow.
He froze for a moment, a slight smile appearing on his angular face. He raised his hand and shook it a
couple of times, and his shadow fell perfectly on hers as if he were caressing her head.
Even with just this, he was already content.
Jane suddenly turned around and saw his peculiar movements, furrowing her brows slightly. Dominic
quickly withdrew his hand and coughed slightly to disguise his embarrassment.
As they continued walking, Jane spotted a dumpling shop by the roadside and decided to go in.
It was dinner time, and the small shop was packed with people. Jane finally managed to find an empty
seat, and Dominic squeezed through the crowd to sit across from her.
The shop owner approached them with a notepad. “What would you like to eat?” He asked.
Jane glanced at the man across from her. “A bowl of shrimp dumplings, please.” She answered softly.
Dominic was taken aback, his emotions surging like waves. Shrimp dumplings were his favorite; did
she order them for him?
But she didn’t specifically say “without cilantro.” She should know that he despised cilantro.
Also, she only ordered one bawl
Those must be all for herself.
So, she truly treats him as if he’s invisible, as if he was no longer a part of her life.
Dominic’s eyes gradually lost their luster, and he sat across from her with his head down, remaining
silent for a long time.
