“Let me go!

“Dominick, let me go…

Dominick grabbed Stephanie’s wrist and dragged her down the stairs.

Stephanie frowned, looking at his stem profile in front of her. He suddenly appeared in this old apartment building, coldly asked what kind of person they thought he was, and then stretched out his hand to drag her away. Stephanie couldn’t understand what he was thinking at all

She turned around and looked up the stairs with some worry.

Dominick dragged her away, but Kevin refused to let her go. In this process, Kevin lost his footing and fell. His arm seemed to have been pierced by some glass shards.

“Are you worried about him?”

Dominick’s voice was cold, and he looked directly at her, which made Stephanie feel a little afraid for no reason.

Dominick saw her shivering and spoke to her fiercely. “Kevin sent someone to watch for you across the street from your apartment. He is really attentive to you.” There was a hint of sarcasm at the end of his words.

Stephanie was extremely angry. “Dominick, what do you mean by this? Kevin was drinking just now, so I supported him. We didn’t…”

“Get in!”

Dominick lost his patience and ordered her to sit in the car.

The car started quickly and drove smoothly onto the highway. Dominick looked straight ahead. Stephanie, who was in the passenger seat, looked at him next to her with complicated feelings. He was silent, and it suddenly became quiet in the car.

Stephanie gazed at him and wanted to speak but didn’t know what to say.

He sent her a message last night, saying that something had happened in Aurorastra and that he would not be able to come back until next month, but now he suddenly appeared in Havencrest.

Dominick was wearing an expensive suit and looked still handsome, but he seemed to have lost some weight and frowned with fatigue.

He had been in Aurorastra for about two weeks, and she felt like she hadn’t seen him for a long time.

Stephanie turned her head, feeling complex. She had many things to ask him, especially what Kevin had said about six years ago.

She hesitated for a while, but when she was about to ask Dominick, she noticed the unfamiliar scenery outside the car window and asked in surprise, “Where are you going?”

It was not the way back to Wellington

Villa

Dominick didn’t answer her.

It was already evening. The sky was dark, and the street lamps were lit.

It was rare for Dominick to drive by himself. There was no expression on his stern profile. He held the steering wheel with his right hand, turned at a junction in front, and drove quickly into the darkness of the night.

It was a very famous entertainment district in the east of the city. Some people called it the city that never sleeps because, during the day, this area was like an empty city, but when night fell, it was bustling with activities.

Many tourists came there at night, but if they didn’t have any acquaintances, they wouldn’t be able to join the fun.
