Crushed Affections (Dominic and Bella)

Chapter 342 You Wish

Dominic rolled his eyes at her and said, "I find it annoying when you try to act polite with me."

Bella pursed her lips. "Then, I won't be polite with you anymore. You should leave once you've finished eating."

He raised an eyebrow and said, "You wish."

Bella froze and was suddenly at a loss for words. She hadn't been joking with him, but why did the meaning behind her words suddenly change? It was almost as if she had just given him permission to stay the night... However, he had just helped her out, so she did not have it in her to chase him away.

After cleaning the kitchen, Bella held the rubbish bag in her hand, planning to head downstairs to throw it. She had just reached the door when Dominic, who was sitting on the couch, suddenly asked, "Are you planning to head down?" She nodded. "I'm heading down to throw the rubbish."

He got up and walked toward her. "I'll go down with you as I'm just about to head back home."

She secretly sighed in relief. It seemed like he had only been joking just now and had no intentions of staying the night.

As if reading her thoughts, he chuckled while ruffling her hair. "Do you think I don't know what's on your mind?'

She felt slightly suspicious. "Do you really know what I'm thinking about?"
