Crossroads

Chapter 109

“Sit tight.”

Dominick shoved her into a taxi and even made sure to buckle her seatbelt. This wasn’t a Wellington family car, and he didn’t trust these “outsiders” at all

The driver felt immense pressure. He didn’t know who these people were, but the man’s icy stare told him he couldn’t afford a single

mistake.

As the car started moving slowly, Dominick sat beside her, frowning as he looked at her legs. “How are your legs?”

Earlier, the fact that Stephanie had the nerve to sit in the middle of the road had shocked Dominick. He’d assumed she was having some kind

of pregnancy–related leg cramp and hadn’t even waited for the Wellington family’s driver, jumping into the first cab he saw.

Stephanie felt a bit embarrassed under his gaze.

She lowered her head in guilt and started pondering how to smooth things over when suddenly her phone rang. She perked up instantly, fumbling it out of her pocket and hitting the answer button.

“Steffi, have you seen Dominick?” It was George calling.

Stephanie found it a bit strange and replied, “Yes, we’re on our way back together.”

George didn’t ask any more questions, but instead, he offered some advice, “From now on, if you run into any trouble, just tell him. He’s your husband after all…”

“Grandpa, did something happen?” Stephanie was genuinely confused.

“Didn’t he tell you? That punk heard you were trying to borrow money and rushed out to find you as soon as he got your call…”

Stephanie blushed again, somehow. “Wasn’t he just passing by?”

“He went looking for you, specifically.” George hung up with a huff. These kids were such a pain.

He hung up the phone, leaving Stephanie staring blankly at the screen, her mind in a whirlwind.
