Chapter 89 Blushed

At the red light, Domink’s car pulled up next to Bella on the lett.

Just then, she heard Yvonne’s voice from the right “Ms. Jones!!

Bella rolled down her window and saw Yvonne waving at her from the backseat, smiling. Bella couldn’t help but smile back

Felix, who was driving, also looked at her and said, “What a coincidence..”

As Bella was about to reply, the light turned green, and the cars around her started moving when she looked back, Dominic’s car had already disappeared into the traffic Feeling worried, Bella quickly said goodbye to Felix and sped up, trying to catch up with Dominic. But by the time she reached Miller Manor, Dominic’s car was already in the

Bella walked into the living room but didn’t see Dominic. So she went to her room to charge her phone. When she turned it on, she saw missed calls from Dominic from two hours ago, right when she was out with Lia.

She wondered why he had called her so suddenly.

Sylvia came in with clean clothes and said, “You’re back from dinner with Mr. Miller? Why did you come home separately? Mr. Miller has been home for a while now.”

Bella looked confused. “I didn’t have dinner with him..”

Sylvia seemed puzzled. “Mr. Miller called earlier and said not to cook dinner because he was taking you out. Didn’t you go with him?”

Bella realized then that Dominic hadn’t just seen her car at Lia’s studio by chance–he had been trying to replace her.

After her shower, Bella wanted to explain things to Dominic but felt too nervous to do it in person. Worried she might freeze up, she decided to text him instead, saying her phone had died and she hadn’t seen his calls

Dominic’s reply carne almost immediately, “Why send messages when you can just talk? is your mouth taped shut?”

Trying to overcome her nerves, Bella knocked on his door, When it opened, she saw Dominic’s bare chest. He had just showered; a towel was wrapped around his waist, and water still listened on his skin

She instinctively looked away. “My phone died this afternoon, and I didn’t get a chance to charge it. 1—”

Dominic suddenly grabbed her by the wast, pulled her inside, and shut the door behind them

His warm breath was close to her ear, “What a coincidence, sering Felix on your way home and smiling at him. Are you two close?”

Bella pressed her back against the door, Ireling Dominic’s want behind her “I won’t smiling at him. I was smiling at his sister. Um.. Have you eaten wet?

She law it wasn’t the best question, but she didn’t know what else to say,

Dominic put one arm around her waist and reached under her shirt to touch her chest. “No, thaven’t eaten. Why didn’t you charge your phone? I was in a good mood and wanted to take you ouL”

Her heart raced. “I’ll have Sylvia get you something to ear

Tominic scooped her up and tossed her onto the bed with a playful grin. “Are you worned 1‘ be too hungry to enjoy myself? You’re overthinking it

As he leaned over her, Bella’s face tumed ned. She put her hands on his chest, feeling the heat

Hepinned her hands above her head, looking at her closely. “How many times have we done this, and you’re still blushing? Why do you blush so much?

When he got close, Bella held her breath and closed her eyes. When the kiss didn’t come, she opened her eyes and saw him smiling playfully. Embarrassed, she watched ashe lifted her nightgown and buried his face in her chest
