Crossroads

Chapter 103

“I’m not going to the class reunion…” Stephanie got up quite early today and had breakfast with George. George casually asked her about the high school reunion she had mentioned before.

After the meal, Brad brought them a plate of fruit and smiled kindly, “Mrs. Wellington, the baby is stable and already 16 weeks old. If you want to attend the reunion, just be careful…”

“Have Dominick go with you,” George suggested cheerfully, taking a sip of coffee.

“No need.” Stephanie was flattered and immediately declined.

She smiled a bit awkwardly, “Dominick is very busy. I heard he has an important event tonight.” She wouldn’t dare to take up his time even if he wasn’t busy.

A few days ago, Molly told

her some heartfelt things that were on her mind. In fact, Dominick had been very good to her.

Not just Dominick, but even George, who was reputed to be stern and severe, was very kind to her. Perhaps their kindness was because of her pregnancy, but one should learn to be grateful.

She understood well that George’s concern was more because of Dominick’s attitude.

“The reunion venue will be noisy, and those high school classmates haven’t been in touch for a long time. My best friend recently had some family issues and won’t be attending either…”

“Is it the friend–who works at the company?” George was a bit curious.

Stephanie had previously mentioned this matter to George at home, feeling indignant for Molly.

“Yes, for ordinary people, getting married and buying a house is quite tough, so her family is under a lot of stress lately…”

It had been a week since Molly had been very busy. Stephanie was a bit worried about her.

“Her brother getting married and taking her house is just wrong. That guy is such a wimp. If Dominick ever did this to his sister, I’d definitely teach him a lesson…” George had always had high expectations for the younger generation, especially the boys.

“Dominick has a sister?” Stephanie was surprised.

Brad explained, though his tone was a bit stiff. “Our family adopted Ms. Wellington. She has been with Mrs. Wellington since childhood. They live in Aurorastra and rarely come back.”

Brad’s tone made it clear he didn’t want to discuss this matter further. It seemed that anything concerning Dominick’s mother made them change their demeanor.
