Love the Second Time Around Novel

Chapter 57 A Wonderful Dream

I was speechless at his excessively nosey behavior.

Louis tugged at my hand from behind. “Lili, I can sleep alone. It’s fine.”

I glared at Dominic as I led Louis to the reception to get another room. Some arguments were just not worth my time.

When we returned, I asked Dominic pointedly, “Happy?”

He smirked and nodded. “Of course. Your brother would’ve been sleeping now if you took my advice earlier.”

Hmph! Jerk!

While Dominic had his back turned to me, I waved my fists at him before accompanying Louis to his room.

I was still nagging my brother by the time we got to his room. “Take a shower and have a good rest. Don’t worry about anything else. Are you hungry? I can pop down to get you something.”

He replied, “I can’t stomach anything right now. Lili, you should get some rest too. Mitch promised he would get me out of this mess.”

I was surprised that Louis was already referring to Mitch by his first name.

Still, if anyone could get my brother out of this mess, it was most likely Mitch who had easily managed to get him out on bail.

I returned to my room once Louis settled in his.

Having woken up early this morning as well, I was exhausted.

My anxiety of Louis kept me running on overdrive the entire day. Now that things were starting to look up, the tiredness had caught up to me, and my eyelids drooped dangerously.

I could not even be bothered to wash up and immediately lay starfished on the bed.

Just as I was about to enter dreamland, I heard a knock on the door. Thinking it was Louis, I opened the door without asking who was outside.

Instead of my brother, Dominic was standing outside my door with two carrier bags in his hand.

He walked in like it was his own home.
