Crushed Affections (Dominic and Bella)

Chapter 418 Admiration

For some reason, Dominic suddenly felt that the way Gloriana was acting now reminded him of Bella in the past. Perhaps he instinctively wanted to make a change because of how bad things were right now so without thinking, he agreed to her invitation. "Send me the

address."

After hanging up the phone, he hurried back to his car, walking briskly through the rain.

Once he received the address from Gloriana, he casually lit a cigarette, pondering her motives. He wondered if she was trying to find a way to use him as a stepping stone to help the Klein family rise again.

He felt that it was almost laughable if that were the case. After all, he and the Sawyer family had already dealt with the Klein family. It was impossible for them to make a comeback. Whatever Gloriana tried to do was bound to be futile.

Finishing his cigarette, Dominic nonchalantly started driving toward the location. The place was drastically different from the suburban villa from before. This time, it was a much more romantic and appealing seaside villa. Naturally, its charm was all just for rich people to have some fun.

Gloriana greeted him at the door when he arrived. Noticing that his coat was slightly damp, she took the initiative to help him take it off. "Let me handle your coat. It's a bit cold with the rain. You don't want to catch a cold."
