Crossroads

Chapter 94

The dim sky, the heavy rain pouring down, and within the curtains of rain, a tall figure loomed closer step by step.

She sat in the car, lips tightly pressed together, staring at the dark shadow outside the window, instinctively shrinking back nervously

The door was forcefully flung open, startling Stephanie.

Her eyes widened slightly, and she stared in astonishment at the man who suddenly appeared before her.

Dominick was dressed in a deep purple shirt. The rain had soaked his shirt and black trousers, which were clinging tightly to his body. Water droplets from his wet, short hair trickled down his stem face. His stunning features remained, yet there was a hint of anxiety and imitation between his brows.

“Who were you meeting with?” He stared at her, complex emotions swirling in his deep eyes.

Stephanie was a bit slow to react. She didn’t answer him. She only heard his voice sounding hoarse and urgent.

The thick clouds churned heavily in the sky, thunder roared, and rain cascaded down. He stood outside the car, glaring at her startled face.

There was still little expression on Dominick’s stern face, his right hand discreetly tightening around his phone.

A wry smile tugged at his lips. “How ridiculous, he thought.

Without waiting for her response, he turned and walked away.

The rain came suddenly. The early spring rain was a bit chilly, soaking Dominick through, yet there was a warmth in his heart.

With his back to her, Dominick lowered his gaze, seeing her fingers clutching his shirt hem.

in a low voice.

His voice sounded even colder and more distant in the heavy rain, yet it carried a hint of tangled emotions and some expectations.

She didn’t grip too tightly, and he could have easily shaken her off.

Hearing his cold “let go,” Stephanie lowered her head, her fingers slightly tightening, feeling both upset and confused.
