Crossroads

Chapter 79

“Things seem to have changed a lot in our family this year…” Brad brought over a plate of fruit platter, approaching them with a gentle smile

George glanced at the piano on the left and then turned to look at Stephanie, who was sulking and drinking juice on the other side.

George, in a good mood, laughed heartily with his hoarse voice. “Our family will be even more different when Steffi has the baby…

“When the baby is born, I’ll be out of here!”

Stephanie didn’t know why George was laughing so happily, but she was feeling quite annoyed now.

“Mrs. Wellington, you shouldn’t drink too much juice now. Dinner will be served soon,” Brad reminded her, then turned to head towards East

Villa.

George suddenly shouted, “Steffi, go call Dominick for dinner.”

Stephanie hesitated for a moment, extremely unwilling.

She wondered why!

She least wanted to see Dominick right now!

As soon as Dominick returned, he went to the study on the second floor. The door there was specially customized, and it contained many

But he didn’t want her to fear him, yet he wanted her to behave.

Dominick found himself in a dilemmal

Dominick sat on the office chair, suddenly furrowing his brows, supporting his head, leaning on the glass desktop, and grasping his head tightly with his right hand in pain.

He looked down, smiling wryly with a hint of bitterness, unsure if it was Stephanie who gave him a headache or if it was a fever.

Dominick seemed to be really in pain. He pulled out a few strands of hair in frustration, frowning, suppressing the pain, enduring it.

“Mr. Wellington, should I call a doctor?” The nearby bodyguard hesitated for a long time before daring to speak.

Dominick never liked others interfering with his affairs, including his physical discomfort.

“Continue to send people to urgently investigate the identity of that man. Report immediately if there’s any news…”
