Crossroads

Chapter 207

Chapter 207

As night fell, the bustling streets lit up with rows of streetlights on either side.

A silver–grey Porsche quietly parked by the sidewalk, and the driver opened the rear door, waiting. Dominick and Stephanie got into the car, turning their heads to gaze out their respective windows.

The car was enveloped in silence.

“Mr. Wellington, Brad asked me to inform you that the Wellingtons had an early dinner tonight. If you and Mrs. Wellington have other plans, there’s no need to rush back,” the driver reported nervously, glancing cautiously at the rearview mirror. Dominick seemed to be in a bad mood tonight.

“Take us back home,” Dominick said calmly in the backseat, his expression unchanged.

Beside him, Stephanie stared at the swiftly retreating streetlights outside the window. She had no objections and thus remained silent.

The Wellingtons knew she and Dominick hadn’t been getting along well lately. Brad probably wanted to give them more alone time together, but there was just silence between them.

Returning to Wellington Villa would take at least half an hour. This eerie silence made everyone uncomfortable.

Stephanie leaned against the window, her right hand supporting her chin.

She noticed the driver’s nervous expression when her gaze swept past the driver’s seat. It seemed the Wellingtons‘ servants were particularly wary of Dominick.

“Is Grandpa still busy preparing for the baby’s one–month celebration since they had an early dinner?” she suddenly asked.

Dominick was stunned and contemplative, turning to look at her face for a moment.
