Crossroads

Chapter 208

Stephanie woke up to the morning light.

It had been a long time since she had slept so soundly. She stretched her arms comfortably under the light blanket, staring blankly for a moment before turning her head to look at the spot next to her.

It was empty. He wasn’t there.

However, the bed next to her was still a bit warm. Did Dominick come back last night?

Getting up from the bed, with her big belly, she was languid. Her mind was still groggy. She stared at the spot next to her for a while, uncertain herself.

“I thought he wasn’t coming back last night,” she murmured. She knew Vincent had invited him out in the middle of the night.

Lately, their relationship had been awkward and hard to explain. It had been a long time since they had shared the same bed.

‘What time did he come back to the bedroom last night?‘ she thought.

She looked up at the clock on the wall, which showed 8 AM.

For the Wellingtons, this was already late. Although Dominick didn’t have to go to the company recently, feeling the residual warmth of the bed, he had only just woken up. He had slept in until around 8 AM.

He seemed really tired lately.

Stephanie felt a bit unsettled. After a quick wash–up, she grabbed her phone and headed downstairs.

As soon as she reached downstairs, Sandra greeted her. “Good morning, Mrs. Wellington. Would you like to have breakfast here or at the main house?”

“Has Grandpa already had breakfast at the main house?”

“Mr. George Wellington always gets up at five and has breakfast at six. Mrs. Mary Wellington and Ms. Wellington have already had breakfast with

him.”

Stephanie felt a bit guilty hearing this.

Ever since she got pregnant, Dominick had told George that she didn’t need to join them for breakfasts. Since then, she had been sleeping peacefully.
