Crushed Affections (Dominic and Bella)

Chapter 163

Chapter 163 Just Not Giving In

Bella had more or less figured it out not-Dominic had never truly fallen for Amber, not even by the time he returned to the country, which was why they eventually broke up.

Out of nowhere, Lia remarked, "You rich people are all about those business marriages, aren't you? Honestly, Dominic marrying Amber makes sense. Neither of them is a saint, so they can just mess with each other. It doesn't matter if they actually like each other, right?" Leonard's gaze held a faint smile. "Well, that's not exactly how Dominic sees it. Even with all the pressure, he still won't give in."

As he spoke, he glanced at Bella as if his words held an underlying message meant just for her.

Bella shifted uncomfortably under his gaze. "This has nothing to do with me... Let's just eat, okay?"

She had always felt that her relationship with Dominic was something that couldn't really be discussed openly. There was an unspoken rule about keeping it under wraps.
