Crossroads

Chapter 126

Around 5 PM, Stephanie returned to Wellington Villa from the hospital.

The prenatal check–up went smoothly this time, and she even got an ultrasound photo of the twins. Gazing at the photo of her twin sons, she felt extremely excited as a first–time mother,

“Sandra, today …” Stephanie excitedly showed Sandra the ultrasound photo while passing by the corner of the corridor.

However, before she could finish her words, she noticed a tall figure appear before her.

Stephanie immediately stopped in her tracks, and Dominick halted as well when he saw her.

Their eyes met for a moment, showing a hint of surprise.

“You…” he said in a low voice.

“Sandra, I’ve been busy all day, and I’m a bit tired. Call me for dinner later.” Stephanie spoke quickly, clearly sounding annoyed.

She didn’t seem to want to talk to him, so she walked past him quickly with a stem face.

Dominick was left standing there. He turned around, watching her walk away without hesitation, his expression complicated.

“Mr. Wellington, Mrs. Wellington is just having mood swings because of her pregnancy,” Sandra said, looking awkward..

After a moment, she continued softly, “Mr. Wellington, Mrs. Wellington has been working hard this past month. She’s been reading a lot of fashion magazines, talking to designers about styling and even personally picking out clothes for you…

Stephanie had put effort into these, and the staff could see it, but Dominick was probably too busy to notice.

Hearing this, Dominick raised an eyebrow, recalling that she had excitedly measured a new suit on him a few days ago.

Seeing his mood improve, Sandra quickly added, “Mrs. Wellington also personally prepared dinner tonight. She made cioppino and has been preparing the ingredients since morning, simmering it on low heat…”
