Drunk and Daring I Kissed a Tycoon

Chapter 397

Dominic said nothing, his gaze locked on Vespera.

The tension between them was palpable.

Calvert, however, remained blissfully unaware.

To him, Vespera still looked warm and cheerful-like someone who genuinely cared about Dominic.

Vespera stood from the couch and took Snowball from Dominic's arms. "You should get going. Time won't wait."

Dominic felt a weight settle in his chest.

There was no reaching her right now.

He gave a slight nod. "Understood. I'll follow your orders, Ms. Gildon."

With that, he turned and walked away.

As soon as he left, Vespera quietly went back to playing with Snowball.

Taking the chance, Gerard walked over and gently stroked the kitten. "Um... Vespera, Mr. Reid really didn't mean any harm last night. Please don't be upset.

"It was all Calvert's fault-he panicked about getting scolded and lied to Mr. Reid, saying you were already safe and on your way home. And honestly, Mrs. Reid was in real danger last night="

Vespera cut him off gently. "It's alright, Gerard. I know. I'm not upset."

"But you don't exactly look happy either," Gerard thought to himself.

Calvert wandered over too. "It's my fault. I shouldn't have left the banquet halfway through to report to Mr. Reid. If I'd just stayed and kept an eye on you ladies, none of this would've happened. Vespera, if you're mad, just punch me—I can take it."

Vespera chuckled. "Punch you? I doubt I could even leave a mark."

"Vespera―"

She picked up Snowball's tiny leg and tapped it lightly against Calvert's chest. "There. Snowball gave you a punch for me. We're even now. I'm really not mad anymore."

And she wasn't. She truly meant it.
