Chapter 33

Alone in the small room of the wooden cabin, Stephanie sat on the wooden plank, her expression downcast as she looked down at her flat belly, recalling Dominick’s words. Her face was stern, tinged with a hint of grievance.

“Don’t be mad at your husband,” Kelly walked in slowly and kindly advised.

Stephanie almost immediately retorted, “He’s not my husband!”

Stephanie felt frustrated that others would think he was her husband! Just the thought of it made her feel disgusted!

Kelly smiled at the angry look on Stephanie’s face. “It’s normal for couples to have friction and disputes. Sometimes, men are just blunt and not good at expressing themselves. If there’s any misunderstanding, you should just talk things through.”

Stephanie remained silent.

She suddenly remembered Vincent saying that the person who took her away wasn’t sent by Dominick.

She wondered if that was really the case. He had been so fierce with her in the hospital before…

“Eat this while it’s warm. You’re hungry, and your baby in the belly is hungry too,” Kelly said as she handed her the bowl of trout with beans.

Stephanie looked at the bowl with some hesitation.

“Your husband stewed this. Come on, eat it.”

Kelly urged kindly as she gushed in admiration at the thought of Dominick. “Your husband is really handsome. His demeanor… My husband will never be able to compare.”

Kelly wasn’t well–read and could only describe Dominick as handsome.

Stephanie immediately frowned and said with annoyance, “When he’s angry, his yelling is terrifying.” She didn’t think he was handsome at all. Others were just blinded by Dominick’s seemingly handsome appearance.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She glared fiercely at the bowl of trout with beans in front of her.

Why was she starving herself? She should just eat this!

Stephanie took the bowl grimly from Kelly’s hand and spooned the food into her mouth, cursing Dominick in her heart.

“Your wife is…fierce,” Vincent couldn’t help but sigh outside the room that was separated by a floral curtain hanging over the door.

He had been worried that Stephanie would throw a tantrum and not eat anything, but then he saw her wolfing the food down as if she was devouring her enemy.

Dominick said nothing, but a faint smile crept up his eyes.

Stephanie quickly finished the big bowl of trout with beans. She felt full and satisfied, and smiled brightly at Kelly. “Thank you.”

Dominick thought her smile was really sweet, with two shallow dimples on her cheeks. He was momentarily lost in thought, mesmerized by the sight of her.

“Who’s outside?” Kelly heard a faint sound and called out.
