Love the Second Time Around Novel

Chapter 61 I Am Not A Guest

I glanced at my hand that was still in Dominic’s clutch. Without a second thought, I reached out my other hand and pinched him hard, twice.

What is it with him? Why is he still holding my hand when we’re already at the door? How many times do I have to make it clear to him?

I actually pinched him quite hard, but he didn’t react whatsoever.

At that time, the front door swung open, and my heart began to beat frantically.

Fortunately, Dominic and I were standing behind the others. But it didn’t stop me from trying to pull my hand away from him.

Louis had actually called home earlier to inform my parents of our arrival. My mother was delighted to have guests, and she was quick to welcome them into the house.

When I was about to pinch Dominic again, he suddenly let go of my hand and walked up to my mother.

“Do you still remember me, Mrs. Zanetti? I’m Dominic.”

My head spun immediately. Why is he so upfront?

Instantly, my mother remembered who he was and exclaimed happily, “Dom? It’s you? What brings you here? I haven’t seen you for ages.”

Obviously, you haven’t seen him! We broke up ages ago!

Back then, when my parents knew I had broken up with Dominic, they had questioned me incessantly about it for a long time.

And I always used the popular phrase —graduation season is breakup season — to brush them off.

“You do remember me, Mrs. Zanetti. I went abroad after graduation, and I just got back not long ago. Since it’s National Day and it’s the holiday, I took the opportunity to come and see you and Mr. Zanetti.”

I rolled my eyes as I listened to him sweet-talk my mother.

Despite me feeling exasperated, I had to admit that him doing this saved me the trouble. I wouldn’t have to crack my head for an explanation.
