Love the Second Time Around Novel

Chapter 152

Chapter 152 Lie Low

I was sitting in a daze and staring at my phone when Dominic suddenly reached out to snatch it away.

“Hey, give me back my phone! I need to call Shannon.”

Sadly, my words fell on deaf ears as Dominic proceeded to toss my phone onto the chaise lounge. “Don’t bother calling. She must have had quite a night. Shouldn’t you let her rest?” he said while wrapping his arms around me.

Once again, Dominic’s bluntness left me speechless.

“Shannon will look for you when she wakes up, so what’s the hurry? For now, can we get some more sleep? I still have work to do later.”

As much as I wanted to get in touch with Shannon, Dominic had a point, too. It might be a better idea for her to come to me than the other way around.

Besides, Dominic did seem busy the night before when I dragged him away to look for Shannon. The more I thought about it, the more worried I was that I might have ruined his plans.

“Did I hold you up last night?”

“Yes, a little,” Dominic drawled. “So, to make it up to me, will you please come to bed now?”

Indeed, it was all thanks to him that everything was settled the night before. With Dominic being so busy recently, letting him sleep in would be the least I could do.

Eventually, even I managed to drift off to sleep.

When I woke up, it was already past two in the afternoon. Dominic was long gone. To my surprise, Shannon had not called, either.

Argh. Until now, I still have no idea what drug Quinn had given her.

After much contemplation, I decided that if I still had not heard from Shannon by night, I would make the call myself.
