Crossroads
Chapter 80
Chapter 80
Stephanie dined at Wellington Villa, not as reserved as before but rather courteous, not daring to be presumptuous.
Meanwhile, George and Dominick at the table were very attentive to dining etiquette, eating elegantly with their forks and speaking little.
She spooned some nutritious oatmeal into her mouth but discreetly stole glances at Dominick beside her.
Dominick seemed to have little appetite, only chewing on a few vegetables before setting down his fork.
Stephanie suddenly got excited, as if she had noticed Dominick’s furrowed brows and even beads of sweat were forming on his forehead.
Stephanie leaned in, unconsciously drawing closer to him.
“Steffi, what are you looking at?”
George, across the table, asked calmly, noticing her improper posture while dining,
Dominick turned, meeting Stephanie’s gaze unexpectedly. Their eyes met briefly, both startled at first, then Stephanie blushed, looking guilty, quickly turning away.
“Nothing
She glanced around awkwardly, finally fixing her gaze on the pot of beef stew on the table, casually finding an excuse. “I want soup…”
The maid standing nearby heard her request and promptly served her a bowl.
Though she had many dietary restrictions due to pregnancy, she could have the beef stew, though it was very hot.
To disguise her embarrassment, Stephanie looked down, leaned towards the bowl of soup, and blew on it repeatedly, appearing genuinely
eager to have some soup.
“Take your time.”
Dominick stood up from his chair, his voice unexpectedly hoarse..
Leaving the table, he casually placed his own less hot bowl of soup in front of Stephanie.
Stephanie widened her eyes slightly, looking up, but accidentally touched Dominick’s hand as he withdrew it.
“Is your hand burning?” she asked.
Furrowing her brows, she stared directly at him.
Dominick seemed to be hiding something, his cold expression showing some displeasure.
He turned abruptly, saying nothing, avoiding her gaze, and left quickly.
“Hey, didn’t you catch a cold from being in the river before… Stephanie remembered Vincent mentioning Dominick had a slight cold when
he was discharged. Her actions were quick, almost instinctive, as she reached out and grabbed Dominick’s wrist.
Her expression suddenly changed as Stephanie spoke, and she abruptly stood up from her chair.
“You have a high fever!”

Dominick listened to her exclamation, his expression somewhat grim, waving his right hand to shake her off.
“Let go.” His deep voice carried some hoarseness.
