Chapter 293 To No Avall

Bella panicked for a moment. What did he just say? How could be make such a joke? She didn't even have the guts to think about that matter. On the contrary, Dominic blanted it out like it was nothing. In

der to bide her panir, she bent down lograbalansul of snow before throwing it at libu To her dismay, The snow fell directly into his shirt.

His expression instantly soured "Bella Jones!"

The weather was incredibly cold. It would be disastrous it the snow melted inside of his clothes. She hastly rushed forward to scoop it out of his shirt,

"Can you bend over? I can't reach it!1 didn't do it on purpose!" she exclaimed.

se looking irritated, Dominic still obeyed her instructions.

The ground was covered in freshly fallen snow. The pile Inside his shirt soon melted due to his body temperature. Bella's efforts were to no avail as she didn't get anything out at all. "Let's head back and get you a change of clothes.." she said with a frown.

The only one who had fun on this little excursion was Padding

Once they got back, Dominic walked into the bedroom and took his shirt off. There was a huge wet patch on it. Bella stood by the door in bewilderment. She didn't think she scooped up that moch snow in one go.

Not a moment later, her gaze was drawn toward his toned body. His muscles were incredibly defined. He was a busy man, and she had never seen him go to the gymn before. How did he maintain his physique? Dominic was not happy with her stating, "What are you looking at? Go get me a shirt,"

she dashed into the walk-in closet and grabbed the first shirt she could replace. Then, she chucked it at him and said, "You should get some rest. I'll be in my room!" He suddenly called after her, "I'm going on a business trip tomorrow. Do you want anything? I can get something for you,"

"No need. Good night." She dismissed his offer with a wave.

He furrowed his brows. He seemed to be unhappy about her rejection, but he didn't say anything else.

When Bella woke up the next morning, Dominic had already left.

During his absence, her days were spent a lot casually. When she got off work, she would head to Lia's studio. Bring alone was too boring, so she preferred to spend time with her best friend instead

It was cold outside, so Lia chose to close her studio at around 7:00 pm.

Afterward, Bella picked her up. "What do you feel like having?"

Lia stared at the restaurants they drove past, but nothing struck her fancy. "I've been a bit picky lately. I don't feel like having soup or anything too olly. At the same time, I'm craving steak. You know how much I love grilled meat."

Bella thought about it for a moment. "Do you want to have steak, then? Let's go to a restaurant nearby. The atmosphere is great, and it's not too oily."

Lia immediately put on an embarrassed front. "Oh no, we don't have to. How could I possibly let you treat me to such an expensive meal?"

Bella rolled her eyes at her. "Save that for the men you go on dates with. I can't stand it."

Upon teaching the restaurant, Bella had

just parked the car when Lia asked, "Isn't that Leonard?"

She was staring out of the window, and Bella followed her gaze, only to see that it was indeed Leonard. He didn't see them. It looked like he had just finished dinner and was about to leave. He was smoking in front of his car. Naturally, bella's first thought was to go say hello. To her surprise, Lia grabbed her wrist with an odd expression.

"What's wrong" Bella asked quizzically.

Lia was acting strangely. "Let's go. Let's eat somewhere else."

Confused, Belladrove away. When they were a distance away, she asked again, "What's going on?"

Stumed, Latumed to her and said, "I told you Leonard was the guy I've been talking to online, would you believe me?"
