Love the Second Time Around Novel

Chapter 157 Pulled Some Strings

I took a step back and asked with a trembling voice, “Why are you looking at me like that?”

He bent forward and pinched my chin with his left hand. Narrowing his eyes, he said coldly, “Looks like you need to be taught a lesson, Liliana.”

“What are you talking about? I’m telling the truth, but you refused to listen. We… Hey! Are you crazy, Dominic?”

Catching me off guard, he suddenly pulled on my collar and bit my shoulder.

“Ouch! Dominic, it hurts! Let go of me!”

I no longer wanted to wear knitted sweaters like this anymore. It just made things simpler for Dominic.

Finally, he released me. My right shoulder was in so much pain that it felt numb.

Tears welled up in my eyes. “You jerk, Dominic! Are you a dog? Why did you bite me for no reason? You even bit me so forcefully! You’re crazy!”

Dominic laughed wildly. “I’m giving you a lesson. Try saying that you want to leave me one more time.”

I pursed my lips and remained silent. Instead, I cursed him madly in my mind.

He raised his hands and wiped the tears away from my face in a rather rough manner. “You look so ugly like this. Let’s go.”

I wanted to pounce onto him and bite him back. He’s the one who made me cry! How dare he call me ugly? What a jerk!

“Why aren’t you leaving? Do you want me to bite you again?”

When I heard that, I did not dare to remain in my daze and quickly followed him.
