Shattered Longings

Chapter 92 Your Home

Bella was feeling really frustrated, and she couldn’t figure out how to deal with it. She didn’t want to see Dominic at all.

She asked Lia to drive her in her old, beat–up car. If she had used the fancy car Dominic gave her, it would have felt like giving in.

Bella didn’t care about winning an argument with Dominic; she just wanted to avoid him.

Lia had trouble starting her old car, but she finally managed to get it going. “You really think this old thing can outrun his car? It’s like comparing a cheetah to a stray dog. Actually, this car is more like a bunny.”

Bella didn’t say anything, just waved for Lia to keep going.
