Love the Second Time Around Novel

Chapter 130 Do Him A Favor

Pushing Shannon away, I stumbled into the room and tumbled right into bed.

Before I closed my eyes, I muttered, “Let me sleep for a bit first. I’ll tell you where I went last night when I wake up.”

Then, I promptly fell into a deep slumber, only rousing when it was almost noon.

As soon as I opened my eyes, Shannon was already eagerly demanding answers while my mind was still groggy with sleep. “Okay, no more giving me excuses now. Quick, tell me whether you went to look for Royce yesterday! Earlier this morning, just after you had dozed off, he came over with breakfast. It’s right there, so look for yourself.”

Looking in the direction where she was pointing, I was greeted by the sight of a myriad of food on the small table.

A moment later, I retracted my gaze. Ah, he’s indeed a good man, but there’s already someone else occupying the space in my heart. As such, there’s no more space for anyone else. What a pity!

Shannon lifted a hand and waved it in front of me. “Why are you spacing out now?” she queried. “Well? Say something!”

After a second’s contemplation, I admitted, “Shannon, I was not with Royce last night, and it’s impossible between us. Last night… I was with Dominic.”

Shannon seemed to have suffered a shock, and she only reacted after an eternity. “You got together with Dominic again? Are you a fool, Liliana?”

“No, we’re not together per se. We’re just… in a mutually beneficial relationship.”

“What does that mean?” Shannon’s expression abruptly turned grave.

“It’s exactly as it means. When he gets married, I’ll sever my relationship with him,” I explained in a mere whisper.

Shannon was momentarily taken aback before she clutched my hand and asked apprehensively, “Did he coerce you? Does he have dirt on you or something?”

In response, I shook my head slowly. “This matter is actually very complicated, but he didn’t coerce me. Shannon, my current relationship with him will only persist for a few months at most. When he gets married, things will be over between us.”

Shannon froze for a second before she murmured in distress, “Have you taken leave of your senses? By doing so, you’re the one who’ll be on the losing end. And it’ll also be you who’ll be wallowing in pain and grief in the end.”
