Chapter 9

At this moment. Patricia tugged at Mia. “We’re in no rush to do that. The rest of your brothers and cousins are on their way here, so you can head home after you’ve met them. Home is where your family is, right?”

Dominic gave Patricia a grateful look. If not for her love and care for Mia, Mia’s life would’ve been even tougher. He said respectfully, “I’ve already booked us rooms here. Let’s have dinner at the restaurant.”

Mia walked together with Patricia as Dominic led the way. She noticed he wasn’t much of a talker and seemed rather unapproachable. Still, he seemed to be quite rich!

They headed downstairs from the hotel’s rooftop. The place was lavishly decorated; Mia had never been somewhere like this before.

Dominic’s heart twisted painfully at the thought of the old, rundown apartment Mia was going to return to.

She looked at him. “Are you okay?”

“Yeah. There’s just something in my eye. Mia, do you want to move somewhere else?” Dominic had prepared several homes. He had to pick the grandest villa possible for Mia!

She shook her head. “No, it’s fine. I’m happy with my old home. That’s where I grew up; no villa can compare to it. I wouldn’t swap it for the world.”

Dominic swallowed the words that were about to roll off his tongue. It made sense, really. He was the one who’d lost Mia all those years ago, and he hadn’t fulfilled even a single one of his duties as her older brother.

This was why she wasn’t interested in staying in the villas he had.

He said gently, “Alright, then. We’ll go with whatever you want.”

If Mia could stay there, so could he. He decided to stand by her no matter what.
