“He’s still not awake.“”

In the evening, the Wellington family was already preparing dinner. Stephanie looked a bit embarrassed as she added, “He said not to bother

him.”

Sandra placed the oatmeal on the table and looked at Stephanie in surprise. “Mr. Wellington sent you out?”

“Her tone showed some disbelief.

When the driver dropped them off at home in the afternoon, Dominick had his arm around Stephanie’s shoulder, almost leaning on her side, as they walked into the bedroom together.

At that time, they thought Dominick was injured, but it turned out to be a high fever combined with a migraine. However, it was the first time they had seen Dominick rely on someone so much.

Stephanie felt like he was bending her over. This man was heavy, and it took her a lot of effort to take him back from the hotel.

Breeze Villa was quiet, with Dominick resting in the master bedroom, and all the servants had withdrawn. Stephanie stood in the first–floor lobby, glancing at the stairs.

Dominick was sleeping in the master bedroom on the second floor.

As soon as he got home, he went straight to bed. His lips were badly pale. It was the first time Stephanie had seen Dominick in such a sickly

state.

“Mrs. Wellington, we’ll leave Mr. Wellington in your care,” Sandra said, not daring to enter the master bedroom.

Stephanie murmured with embarrassment, “He seems not to like others disturbing him. He scolded me, so I came out.”

Sandra found it hard to believe. She thought, “Did Mr. Wellington really send Mrs. Wellington out!

In fact, Dominick only said, “You’re noisy.”

After helping him lie down on the bed, Stephanie quickly took his temperature.

George was obviously worried about Dominick, but he kept a straight face and refused to admit it. Stephanie had to lean close to Dominick’s ear and ask him if he was uncomfortable or if he wanted water, and so on.

She thought Dominick probably found her annoying.

“Mrs. Wellington, sometimes men are a bit…” Sandra looked at her with a smile. “They say one thing but mean another.”

Stephanie widened her eyes slightly, watching Sandra leave.

“What does that mean?‘ she wondered.
