Crushed Affections (Dominic and Bella)

Chapter 404 Not in This Lifetime

Bella was slightly distressed. She said, "It's not like we never gave it a shot. We just aren't suitable for each other. So, what's the point of forcing ourselves into another relationship?

"I don't plan on marrying once I have the child. I don't mind. However, can you do the same and stay unmarried? Not to mention, we won't be able to provide the child a warm and happy environment that they'll need." Dominic could barely keep his emotions in check as he said icily, "You should eat first. Otherwise, you'll lose your appetite once we finish arguing."

Hence, the conversation ended abruptly without any conclusion. Bella finished the meal unhappily and barely took a few bites before placing her spoon down.

After leaving the restaurant and getting into Dominic's car, Dominic suddenly said, "I'll transfer one of the properties I own to your name and have someone send the crib there. Will that ease your mind?"

Bella looked at him in shock. His sharp intuition undoubtedly let him pinpoint what was bothering her so accurately. However, she did not want to take a house from him for free either.

So, she said, "I have some money in my bank account. I'll give it all to you. You can consider it the downpayment for that house, and I'll slowly pay you the rest later."

Dominic finally lost his temper as he slammed his fist on the steering wheel. "What must I do to satisfy you? Why does every single thing between us have to be accounted for? "Bella, you can't draw a line between us. You'll never be able to, not in this lifetime!"

Bella instinctively clutched her belly, afraid he might do something out of anger. She was currently pregnant, so she couldn't fight him outright anymore.

the sight of her defensive posture, Dominic took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down. Then, he reminded her to put on her seat belt before he drove away, his expression dark. Once they returned to Bella's neighborhood, Dominic got down to open the car
