The Billionaire And His Son Want Me Back by Juliette Vaughan

Chapter 107

'Not this again,' Paisley thought, fighting back a groan. "Why are you so hung up on love? We're not kids anymore," she said.

"So you don't love him, do you?" Dominick pressed for an answer.

Paisley didn't bother responding. She kept her eyes fixed on Paul, silently willing him to wake up so she could get out of there.

But Dominick wouldn't let her dodge the question. He stepped right in front of her, blocking her view of Paul. "Paisley, I know you never remarried. That you've been raising the kid on your own."

"What are you getting at?" Paisley felt a headache coming on from dealing with Dominick.

Dominick stared at Paisley intently, his eyes full of sincerity. His voice carried a mix of compromise, resignation, and desperate longing.

"I'll treat Rena like my own daughter and love her as if she were mine. Just marry me again, and I can pretend everything that happened before was just a bad dream," Dominick said softly.

Paisley let out a laugh of disbelief. "Why on earth would I want to marry you again?"

"We're both single, and we have Grayson. Isn't getting back together the obvious choice?" Dominick spoke like it was the most natural thing in the world.

"Get back together?" Paisley met his eyes head-on, deciding to lay it all out. "What kind of marriage are we talking about here? The kind where you love me only when your schedule allows it?

"Or the kind where you drop everything the moment Marissa needs something? Or maybe the kind where your family still won't accept me after four whole years?
