OCCANOIL
However, it turned out that it was only her wishful thinking
Stephanie had married Kevin three years ago without a wedding ceremony. They had simply registered for the marriage license and started living their lives together afterward,
Later, she had reflected for a long time and felt that a woman must have a grand wedding to make the man truly appreciate what he had. Otherwise, he would never cherish her, as men wouldn’t cherish what came too easily.
However, this time, Stephanie honestly would prefer to do without a wedding ceremony.
Inside the car, she nervously glanced over at Dominick, who was sitting next to her.
As he leaned back in his seat with a stern face, he was reviewing a contract in his right hand while talking to some people through a Bluetooth earpiece in
his ear.
Dominick seemed completely unconcerned as if he wasn’t bothered at all about the situation. Meanwhile, the car smoothly continued on its way toward Havencrest International Airport.
Just then, he flipped open the contract and casually said into the Bluetooth earpiece, “Going to Caelorium.”
Stephanie was bored. So, she gazed out the car window at the scenery while eavesdropping on his phone conversation, Deep down, Stephanie felt reluctant to go back to Caelorium with him.
But she had no choice since it was George’s order. Stephanie thought that Dominick seemed reluctant as well.
“I actually don’t have anything important to do in Caelorium,” Dominick said leisurely, and his voice trailed off abruptly before turning to look at Stephanie beside him.
Afterward, he calmly stated, “To meet the parents and ask them for my wife’s hand.”
Stephanie was daydreaming, but Dominick’s words jolted her, and her expression froze as she looked at him.
She wondered, “Ask them for my wife’s hand? It sounds so strange coming from Dominick’s mouth.”
Dominick turned off the Bluetooth earpiece, and after noticing Stephanie’s shocked look, he asked nonchalantly, “What are you looking at?”
“Nothing, nothing at all,” she replied awkwardly as she quickly lowered her head and stopped looking at Dominick.
They arrived at Havencrest International Airport, where they would take a two–hour flight to Caelorium. The Wellington family’s servants had everything well–prepared, ensuring a smooth journey.
However, just as Dominick and Stephanie arrived at Caelorium’s airport, a violent storm suddenly broke out.
The sky was filled with dark clouds while thunder boomed and lightning flashed. They then did not immediately head to Reed Villa but instead went to a pre–booked luxury hotel.
The hotel manager personally greeted them and escorted them to a luxurious suite on the top floor to rest. It was only then that Stephanie realized that this hotel belonged to the Wellington family, and she couldn’t help but think how wealthy Dominick really was.
