Crushed Affections (Dominic and Bella)

Chapter 443

Chapter 443 Gotta Seal the Deal

Zion had managed to snag a rare trip back home. As soon as Lia hung up the phone, she started packing up.

Half-asleep, Bella mumbled encouragement from the bed. "Make sure you finish what you started. Don't act like a fake couple."

Lia's cheeks turned bright red. "Alright. I know. Zion's finally back, so I'm definitely sealing the deal. Go back to sleep, will you? I'm heading out."
