Chapter 282 If I Had Known You Were So Ungrateful

Bella's intention wasn't to argue. She had always planned to leave as she never saw a happy ending with him. She thought this was the perfect opportunity to end things, but his attitude changed again.

Determined to clarity things, she said, "Let's end this. I mean it, Dominic. This might be the best way. I don't want things to get worse. I didn't come to you for answers because I didn't believe there would be a future for us. I don't see why we should continue."

te had wanted to mend things, she would've approached him as soon as the reports appeared rather than remaining silent and holding it in.

Domine let out a cold chuckde, straightened up, and looked down at her, "I realize I shouldn't have been so friendly to you. If I had known you were so ungrateful, I wouldn't have wasted my time."

Bella frowned and glanced up at him. "What do you mean by that?"

He leaned slightly forward and gripped her chin, his expression cold and sharp as he said, "Since you don't like it when I'm treating you gently, let's try it the hard way. I've told you before that it's not up to you to determine the brealap. Remember this because I won't say it again."

Then, he released her with anger and added, "Packup. I'm taking you out, and I won't say it again."

However, she resisted and sat on the bed, refusing to move.

At this moment, Dominic had lost all patience. He grabbed her and began pulling her toward the door. "Fine, if you won't pack, we'll go like this."

Bella struggled with all her strength but couldn't break free. She only hurt herself even more in the process. She had no idea what he was planning now. "Where are you taking me?"

know when we get there."

He didn't bother wasting more words with her. "You'll know

After getting inside the car, he secured her seatbelt and gave her a warning look, making it clear she shouldn't try anything.

Although she was reluctant to leave with him, she wasn't dumb enough to jump out of the car. She pulled up the collar of her sweater and covered half of her face, feeling completely down and unwilling to look at the man beside her.

Bella had left the house in a rush and hadn't even worn a coat. She was only dressed in a cream-colored turtleneck and black skinny jeans. Her outfit was only suitable for staying indoors, but stepping ourside in this weather would leave her freezing

Dominic drove to the city's largest shopping mall. After parking his car, he wrapped an arm around her shoulders and led her into the elevator, disregarding her reluctance.

The mall was busy, and the elevator was nearly full. She found herself pressing against him to avoid being crushed. At that moment, she had to admit that he provided some sense of security.

Once inside the mall, be led her to the designer apparel floor. "Pick whatever you like."

However, Bella had no interest in shopping, "I'm not buying anything. I didn't bring my phone or wallet. A poor person like me can't afford designer stores." Upon hearing her words, Dominic clenched his trell frustration. "Don't argue with me. You don't have to pay. I'm tired of seeing the clothes in your wardrobe "

"I don't dress for you. If you're sick of it, don't look," she sureted mockingly.

He tightened his grasp on her hand and pulled her inside a nearby clothing store. What seemed like an affectionate gesture to others was, in reality, filled with

tension.

A sweet-looking sales attendant greeted them warmly. "Welcome!TM Dominic kept his cool and asked Bella, What style do you lilo?"
