Chapter 48

Soon after, everyone went to the dining room and had already taken their seats. But Dominick was nowhere to be seen. So, Lauren asked, "Where's Dom?"

The butler replied, "Mr. Dominick is in the study."

Kayla pulled a face and said, "What's up with Dom anyway? He came back and immediately locked himself in the study, won't talk to anyone, and won't come out." She turned to Marissa and asked, "You came back with him, right? Did something happen earlier?"

Marissa forced a somewhat awkward smile as she replied, "I'm not sure. Probably something to do with work." But she knew the real reason for Dominick's behavior-Paisley.

Dominick had seen Paisley with another man, and on top of that, she had a daughter. Today, he had even bought Paisley pink roses, symbolizing first love.

Marissa couldn't stop herself from wondering what might have happened if she hadn't been there or if Paisley's daughter's father hadn't appeared at just the right moment.

Deep down, Marissa didn't want to face the possibility that Dominick still harbored feelings for Paisley. Marissa couldn't bring herself to accept it, nor did she dare dwell on it for too long.
