Crossroads

Chapter 37

“I’m spending Christmas at Wellington Villa this year…”

It was late at night, and Stephanie had been feeling down all day. Unable to sleep, she wandered out to the backyard to relax. herself.

Gazing at the precious flowers and exquisite pergolas in the Wellington Villa garden, she thought everything felt surreal to her. She never imagined herself living in such a magnificent place.

“No wonder those women look at Dominick so eagerly… Stephanie felt that life with Dominick after marrying him was truly luxurious.

A gust of night wind blew, causing Stephanie to shiver and rub her hands together. She felt it was really cold.

“What are you doing here?” Suddenly, a deep voice sounded behind her.

Stephanie immediately became alert.

She turned around to see Dominick striding towards her, and for a moment, she didn’t know what to say.

Stephanie wondered why he had come back. Wasn’t he supposed to stay at the hospital with Jessica?

It was silent all around with dim moonlight tonight. Only the orange streetlights in the garden illuminated the scene. Dominick noticed her slightly reddened cheeks from the cold wind.

“Why aren’t you sleeping at this hour and standing here!” He sounded somewhat impatient.

She wanted to retort that it was her freedom, but she didn’t dare.

“After 10 o’clock at night, you should go back to your room and sleep!” Dominick seemed to see her through, ordering her coldly.

“Why should I!” She couldn’t help but exclaim, feeling indignant.

She thought he was so gentle with Jessica, but he scolded her as soon as he came back. She wanted to know the reason.

mar.

Dominick’s expression grew even more complex. Taking a step forward, he said, his voice inexplicably tinged with anger, “Do you think it’s suitable for a pregnant woman to wander around at night?”

“I didn’t…” She was about to retort but then remembered that she had indeed gone out for a while just now.

Dominick looked down at her hands, which were red from the cold, becoming even more impatient. Without saying much, he pulled her towards the house straightway.

He noticed that her hands were indeed cold, and Dominick became more anxious.

Suddenly dragged by him, Stephanie was quite dissatisfied. “Hey, let go. I can walk by myself…”

Dominick listened to her protest behind him, very upset. He led her into the house and immediately let go of her.
