Drunk and Daring I Kissed a Tycoon

Chapter 378

Dominic said, "To be precise, my mom's the one who told her to leave."

Vespera didn't respond.

Dominic slid his hand around her waist and gently pulled her into his lap, his eyes shining like stars in the dark. "Because she's getting ready to welcome her future daughter-in-law."

Vespera's breath caught.

For a moment, her thoughts fluttered, uncertain whether what she felt was joy or panic.

But clarity came quickly. There's no way.

Fawn would never accept her.

Dominic had probably been fooled by one of Fawn's roundabout tricks, but even so, it meant he'd gone to war with Samuel and Fawn for her. Something swelled in her chest, warm, tight, and aching.

She wanted to say something, but in the end, she couldn't bring herself to.

Instead, she buried her face in his chest and closed her eyes.

Dominic gently caressed her cheek. "You don't need to do anything. I'll lead the way."

"Okay," Vespera murmured.

And thought to herself, "You idiot. A sweet, stubborn idiot who doesn't know when to quit."

Dominic lifted her chin and pressed his lips to her.
