The Daring Billionaire’s Wife by Lypstical

Chapter 91

Vanessa

Ever since Dominic told me his exact reason for being worried about me after he received that call about the accident, I haven’t been the same around him.

I already had this in mind, but that moment has made me realize that what I feel shouldn’t change into anything more than it already is.

Not only did that drive me to hug Patrick as soon as I stepped out of the car, it’s also the reason why I barely paid attention. to Dominic while he was still around.

After bluntly telling me about his goal to take over the company as soon as possible, how dare he kiss me like that before he

left?

Even now, as I sit back down in my chair, I can’t stop thinking about it. The taste of his lips is still on mine. I can even feel his warm breath and his hands around my waist. I’m his fucking wife and I should act like it? What a joke.

“You know… I thought you would take forever out there,” Patrick says to me in a serious tone, grabbing my attention.

“Why d “Why did you think I was going to take forever?”

“Because you were with your husband and you know… you two were just going at it

What are you talking about?”

He scoffs. “Come on. It’s broad daylight, but the way you too were just-”

“I get it. I know what you mean.” I playfully roll my eyes.

“Is Dominic always like that? Does he always want to show off whenever he gets the chance that you belong to him?”

“Did you feel like he was showing off?” I narrow my eyes,

“I’m your ex boyfriend. Obviously, yes. It doesn’t take much to put two and two together.”

He suddenly clenches his jaw hard, and I notice his shoulders rising and falling rapidly as he breathes louder.

“Hey, are you okay?” I ask with concern.
