The Daring Billionaire’s Wife by Lypstical

Chapter 123

Vanessa

With my father telling everyone else I'm only left with Mia to tell. Even though I only tell her on the phone, it's more difficult than I thought it would be.

"I'm so sorry about this," she says. "I just want to hug you right now, but I'm out of the country."

I chuckle painfully. "You can always hug me when you come back."

"How's Dominic taking all this?"

As I respond, I instantly think about the kiss right before he left. I still can't stop thinking about the possibility that he did it out of pity and it makes me a little sad.

"And you know what?" she says, "I was going to ask you about how it went with Patrick yesterday, but now obviously isn't the time. It'll be up to you to tell me all about it when you're ready." "Thanks for understanding."

"How could I not understand when I'm your best friend?"

I chuckle softly.

Hearing footsteps from the staircase, I look up and notice my father in a different suit, which instantly makes me narrow my eyes.

"Can I call you back?" I say to Mia.

"Of course. Take all the time you need."

Right after the call, I approach the stairs and wait until he gets to the bottom step.

"Dad, what's going on? Why do you look like you're going out?"

"I am," he says, fixing his collar.

"But where are you going?"

"I know I said I was going to tell everyone over the phone, but I think it's better to do it in person. Do you want to come with me?" "No. I'll stay right here and wait for you."

He holds my hand. "You don't even have to tell me the reason behind it. I can already see it."
