Crossroads

Chapter 135

How did last night unfold so unexpectedly?

Everything seemed to happen with a natural ease…

Stephanie couldn’t quite fathom it herself, but her heart still raced, her thoughts in disarray.

Morning light streamed through the window, casting a soft glow across the room. The clock on the wall pointed to nine o’clock, and the man beside her had already risen.

“You’ve certainly got quite the vigor.” Her voice held a playful, slightly teasing tone.

Despite staying up late into the night, he had woken at five in the morning. Normally he would slip away quietly, but today he lingered with a buoyant mood, disrupting her dreams.

Throughout her sleep, her dreams had been dominated by him. It was maddening.

“How much longer do you plan to hide in there?”

Suddenly, a light tap on the bathroom door interrupted her. “Remember you said I can’t bully you with our sons around, Come out, it’s breakfast time. You need to refuel” His familiar, deep voice carried a hint of laughter, and he was clearly in high spirits.

Stephanie’s cheeks blushed anew. He had been overly persistent and clingy last night. Unable to resist him, she had casually mentioned their sons to coax him into giving her some space!

After finishing her morning routine, she opened the bathroom door with a pout, only to find the man outside looking refreshingly energetic. Despite staying up all night, he seemed unfairly lively. It irked her.

“Are you sleepy?”

Still groggy from sleep, she retorted, slightly annoyed, “Our sons’re hungry.”

Dominick stepped closer. “Are you truly that exhausted?” His tone was unexpectedly earnest.

His hand instinctively brushed aside a few disheveled strands of her hair, his gaze dropping to her flushed cheeks and lingering on her lips.

“Stephanie, from now on…you’ll need to adapt to me quickly,” he said in a hoarse voice.

“What?”
