The Daring Billionaire’s Wife by Lypstical

Chapter 32

Of all the things my father–in–law could’ve said at this dinner table, I didn’t expect it to be his grandchildren, and now Dominic has just choked on his drink while next to me.

Quickly, I take the glass from him as he coughs and I rub his chest. I don’t know if this will help or not, but I’m genuinely concerned.

“I’m fine,” he says to me, gently placing his hand on top of mine.

“Are you sure?” My voice is laced with concern.

He smiles at me as he coughs again. “Don’t worry. I was just caught off guard.”

It’s only for a second, but the two of us stare into each other’s eyes. My heart even races a little. I wonder if he knows that I’m not acting by trying to ease his cough. I’m not able to tell.

“Well, you had us all worried there for a second, son.”

My father–in–law’s words break my eye contact with Dominic. Leven drop my hands and clear my throat as I compose myself.

It’s only now that I look around the table at everyone else and it turns out they were all worried about him.

“Did you really have to talk about your grandchildren right now?” Dominic says to his father, leaning back in his seat with a sigh of relief.

“Why not? I admit that I didn’t intend to make you choke on your drink, but I guess I was just too excited.”

“I can’t wait to have them running around the housel” My mother–in–law chimes in with enthusiasm. “it’s only a matter of time before they arrive. We only need to wait since you’re already working on it”

Everyone chuckles, except me, but I still fake my amusement at my mother–in–law’s comment and look over at Dominic, who seems to fake his reaction, too,
