Crossroads

Chapter 38

“She’s pregnant, and you still let her eat fried fish. Do you have any common sense!”

This sounded familiar to Stephanie, who guiltily buried her head under the covers. Last night, Dominick was lecturing her about lacking common sepse, and now…

Now, Dominick was the one being scolded for lacking common sense.

George, an early riser, was furious when Stephanie suddenly got a fever at four in the morning. Since Dominick had called the doctor, they couldn’t hide it, and George stormed over with his cane and started scolding

It’s actually my fault…” She wanted to say it was her own idea to eat fried fish.

Stephanie popped her head out, wanting to confess, but George was very angry. He glared at her, and Stephanie immediately backed down, swallowing her words.

Dominick didn’t argue back to George’s yelling, but his expression was very dark. He glanced at Stephanie sternly.

“From now on, both of you need to report to the parenting center every Sunday and learn how to be parents,” George said with a particularly sour expression, giving them a strict order

Stephanie didn’t mind going to class every Sunday since she had nothing else to do, but Dominick had his official duties…

When George left, Stephanie turned to look at Dominick, who wasn’t very happy.

“Stephanie…” She had a guilty expression. He looked at her, warning her with gritted teeth. “You better behave yourself!”

She didn’t dare to argue back because he was taking the blame for her

With a grim face, Dominick also left, leaving Stephanie under orders to rest in bed. Sandra even brought her breakfast to bed, reminding her.

“Mr. Wellington said that starting today, you must be in your room by ten o’clock, and if you go out, you need to call him beforehand…” Sandra said halfway through, then suddenly smiled.

“Oh, Mr. George Wellington also asked me to ask you, how’s Mr. Wellington’s cooking skill?”

Stephanie was surprised.

She didn’t expect George hadn’t tried anything cooked by Dominick.

Actually, George’s original question was whether Dominick’s cooking was edible, and it must be terrible! But the truth was, George hadn’t tried Dominick’s cooking.

George was really displeased. He glared sternly, his gaze sharp as he asked the doctor, “Is Dominick hiding anything from me?”

The doctor looked unease and spoke hesitantly. “Mrs. Wellington shouldn’t get herself too tired right now..

Chapter 38

“Do you think I don’t know about the video of Stephanie jumping into the river at Caelorium?”

George’s face darkened even more. He gritted his teeth. “He’s afraid I’ll scold her, so he made her midnight snacks!” Actually, he was wondering why Dominick hadn’t been cooked pasta for him!

George was still upset about not getting to try Dominick’s pasta for several days. Even Stella, who came to celebrate Christmas, felt George’s anger. She knew that Stephanie almost lost the baby after asking around.

Since George’s outburst, Dominick had been coming home very punctually, and Stephanie always felt his gaze on her was

somewhat sinister.

With his right hand holding her cell phone, Dominick looked at the new message just received, his expression gloomy:

Steffi, how have you been recently? I’m really worried about you. Can you reply to me?]

This was from Dominick’s cousin, Kevin.

Because of her fear of Dominick, Stephanie stayed on the other side of the sofa, watching TV. She was afraid of looking Dominick in the eye. Dominick tapped lightly a few times and then deleted the message.

Turning around, he grabbed his briefcase and headed to the study.

“Dominick, about Stephanie being abducted at Caelorium before, we caught some people,” Vincent was reporting something, then suddenly his tone turned mocking. “It was Claire who sent them.”

Dominick wasn’t too surprised to hear this. Just looked out the window into the dark sky as if contemplating something.

“Dominick, how do you plan to handle this?” Vincent asked, sensing his silence.
