Crossroads

Chapter 185

At noon, the housekeeper specifically called Stephanie to dine at the main residence. She was somewhat reluctant, as aside from the mandatory. breakfast together at Wellington Villa, there weren’t other niles about having meals together, so it was somewhat unusual.

Hence, Stephanie figured they wanted her company.

Seeing her act so petulantly, Dominick couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

“This is just perfect.”

His large hand gently smoothed the hair at the mape of her neck, the cool tips of his fingers brushing her skin. Since Stephanie had gotten pregnant, perhaps due to hormonal changes, her skin had become even more supple and delicate.
