Chapter 50

“Why can’t play the piano in front of Dominick?”

Stephanie didn’t expect George to actually have a plano delivered and even had her play a canon. She thought she played quite well, but Brad looked nervous.

Brad looked somewhat hesitant. “Because Mr. Wellington… He really hates…”

“Why can’t we celebrate Dominick’s birthday? You never celebrate Winter Festival?” Stephanie, curious, stared at Brad.

“Well, this, um…” Brad’s voice trailed off

“Do you care about Dominick?”

Sitting in the center of the couch, George took a sip of coffee, set down the cup, and raised an eyebrow, questioning.

Stephanie felt awkward and immediately denied, “No.”

“Mrs. Wellington, Mr. Wellington has a lot of things he doesn’t like others interfering with…” Brad sighed as he spoke.

George, feeling similarly, muttered angrily, “Don’t know who Dominick inherited that bad temper from, always with a stern face, never doing any filial action.”

In the photo, a three–year-old boy, dressed in a light blue sailor suit with a small hat, stood obediently at the kindergarten. His bright eyes shimmered on his adorable face as he smiled shyly at the camera.

Stephanie was excited, picking up the album to get a closer look. “Is this really Dominick?”

She found the boy in the album so cute. How could…

Seeing Stephanie so excited, Brad couldn’t help but marvel, “Mr. Wellington was very quiet when he was young, but then he was abducted…

As he said this, George gave Brad a serious look, and Brad immediately shut up, not daring to continue.

Stephanie was shocked as she looked at George.

Carefully probing, she asked, “Was Dominick abducted when he was young?” Children from wealthy families being abducted was occasionally in the news, but Dominick’s experience seemed unusual

George didn’t answer her, just looked up at the black grand piano with cloudy eyes, suppressing a painful memory..

Dominick was his only grandson, naturally the one he cherished the most, but..

Brad looked at Stephanie and said softly, “Mrs. Wellington, don’t blame Mr. Wellington for being too aloof. He just hides too many secrets…

“Perhaps one day he will tell you.”
