Crossroads

Chapter 131

Stephanie stormed out of the car with a dark expression, slamming the door in a burst of frustration.

The man inside the car wasn’t any happier.

Dominick glared fiercely as she crossed the street. “Stephanie…” He gritted his teeth and called out to her angrily, but she quickened her pace, completely ignoring him.

The traffic light ahead had already turned green.

Cars behind them honked incessantly, the irritating noise adding to his growing frustration and anger.

He fixed his gaze on her familiar figure, swiftly starting the car and driving towards her.

Dominick was about to get out of the car, a sudden wave of pain shot through his brain.

Frowning, his right hand instinctively reached for his head to alleviate the pain, inadvertently aggravating his shoulder injury. He lost his balance and lunged towards the steering wheel, his left hand quickly supporting himself, but his elbow hit the horn.

Unable to see inside due to the tinted windows, Stephanie felt he was purposely honking to urge her.

“I’m not going back!” she shouted angrily towards the car.

“I don’t want you to interfere…”

With a splitting headache, he leaned weakly against the car, taking a deep breath to calm himself. However, as he did so, he heard Stephanie’s shouts ahead. It only made his headache worsen, infuriating him.
