Dominick asked, “What are you thinking about?

He watched as Stephanie placed the takeout food she brought back on the bedside table and then sat in the chair by the bed, lost in thought with a somewhat puzzled and displeased expression.

She said, “Molly saw the news and messaged me. It seems she got drunk that day and ran into her jerk brother when she left the villa. He bothered her…”

Stephanie naturally chatted with Dominick. As she spoke, her face grew stern, and she said angrily. “If Wade messes with her again, I’ll make sure he pays for it!”
