For several days in a row, he had done several unusual things. Even though the thread of his love was thick, he gradually understood his own feelings.
He was just suppressed by various factors, so he dared not face it. And now, he still didn't want to face it.
Dominic asked, "Is this related to you?"
Enzo sighed, "Actually, it's not a big problem. I just wanted to tell you that I also want to pursue Sia."
Dominic was stunned to hear Enzo's confession, then a trace of anger rose in his heart, but he quickly suppressed it.
His deep eyes coldly stared at Enzo and calmly said, "Do you know she's already a mother?"
"Yeah, I know. She's divorced with two children, and I don't mind," Enzo said casually. "I will treat those two children as my own."
Is he asking for death?
Dominic's face twisted slightly, grinding his teeth, "
"Mr. Carter, you're playing dirty," Enzo was stunned, understanding why his father had called him at this moment."Dirty? As business partners, I feel obligated to help Mr. Roberts..." Here, Dominic deliberately paused, raised an eyebrow, and looked at Enzo before sarcastically saying, "to educate his unruly son."Enzo felt suppressed by Dominic's presence, but he didn't show any signs of backing down, staring back at him.Just as everyone noticed the tension between Enzo and Dominic, thinking they were about to fight in the next second, the two of them tactfully looked away.Dominic naturally placed the peeled crayfish into a bowl and handed it to Alessia."Wow, such a big bowl of crayfish meat. I wish my boyfriend would peel them for me too.""Mr. Carter seems to have feelings for Miss La Rosa...?"Those in the lab who didn't know about
The message was sent to M, but there was no response until the car entered Forest Hill. Just as Alessia settled down, M's call finally came.Glancing at Riley, who had already gone upstairs, Alessia walked to the window to take the call."Boss, you finally remembered me," M's voice, as lively as ever, greeted her.Alessia couldn't help but smile slightly, but her tone remained cool. "Can we stick to business?""Sure thing, boss. You're always so business-minded, but I still like you," M teased, then continued, "Boss, IronRose and NeoNinja were the youngest hackers to apply to the Hacker Association. They both got invitations, but guess what happened next?"M deliberately left her hanging, and Alessia narrowed her eyes before replying, "They both backed out.""Woah, boss, you already knew the answer and still asked me? Are you pulling my leg?" M complained on
"I disagree with what you said. You know my skills. How can you call it seeking death?" Alessia met Dominic's eyes again."Alright, Mr. Carter, you don't have to worry about this matter. Just focus on protecting the three kids," she said, pushing past Dominic and walking to the bed.Alessia sat on the bed and issued another dismissal, "Mr. Carter, I'm going to sleep."Seeing Alessia's fair feet on the ground and then on the bed, Dominic's eyes darkened momentarily. Then he averted his gaze and left with an angry remark before storming out, "If you want to die, do it far away."Alessia raised an eyebrow, watching as the door was closed again, then she lay down on the bed.She took out her phone and scrolled through her friends' updates. She saw a post from Enzo.‘Tonight is very close,’ with a picture of his hat.Very close, refer
The domineering tone, the cold expression, even Alessia could misunderstand Dominic for acting, her heart skipped a beat without warning.However, this sudden flutter was quickly suppressed by her because she knew better than anyone that it was just an act.Alessia had her pride; she absolutely wouldn't allow herself to fall in love with someone who didn't love her.Alessia bit her lip, staring at her toes.Facing Dominic's impoliteness, Enzo just casually hooked his lips and didn't linger with Dominic, heading straight into the car.Watching the car drive away, Alessia silently freed her hand from Dominic's grasp.Dominic looked at his empty palm, feeling as if a part of his heart had emptied along with it.He watched Alessia walk back into the house, inadvertently glancing at his palm again, where the warmth of Alessia still lingered.
The car arrived at the hospital.Alessia noticed that although Ava wasn't hospitalized in the same hospital as Evelyn, she was in the burn hospital next to the Evelyn’s.Ava got burned?This thought flashed through Alessia's mind, but she quickly found out the truth when she saw Ava.In the independent VIP ward, Ava was wearing patient clothes, with her right wrist bandaged in white.As soon as Alessia's gaze fell on Ava's bandaged wrist, Ava stepped forward to grab her hand.Alessia dodged sideways, her expression cold. "If you have something to say, say it."After spending some time together, Ava already understood Alessia's character very well. Seeing her resistance, Ava didn't force her and just lifted her injured hand pitifully."Sia, Mrs. Gordon—Evelyn, already knows about your existence. She has targeted me, an
Alessia and her group left the burn hospital, with Bianca suggesting that they take Jessie back to the old house for a while.Dominic also needed to pick up the three children at the old house, so they decided to travel together. The two cars drove one after the other, with the front car stopping at a red light at a crossroads.Dominic stopped the car and leaned against the window with one hand, looking at Alessia.Alessia noticed Dominic's gaze and turned to him. "Why are you looking at me like that?"Dominic's eyes were deep, and his long fingers, like those playing the piano, rhythmically tapped on the steering wheel, his expression unusually serious."I only realized today that beneath your cold exterior, there hides a fiery heart."Although he wasn't in the hospital room when Jessie severed ties with Harrison, he saw outside how Alessia supported and enc
“Mr. Gordon, we're still at the burn hospital. Ava left us, but I heard that Alessia got into a car accident and is at the X Hospital.”"I know, I'll handle it." Gordon hung up the phone and walked back into the ward."Who is it, Gordon?" Evelyn asked. "Is it Christian?"Gordon gently pulled up the blanket for Evelyn and said calmly, without changing his expression, "No, that child is probably busy with school. He hasn't called all day today."In reality, he had blocked Christian's number last night.Disappointment flickered in Evelyn's eyes.Gordon watched Evelyn's changing expression carefully, handed her a glass of water, and tentatively said, "Children's preferences aren't fixed. Maybe after seeing you yesterday, he thought you were boring and didn't want to play with you anymore.""No, Christian is a good kid. Yesterday wasn't the fi
"I'd be stupid to trust you again." Harrison glanced at the glaring red light at the entrance of the operating room, sitting dejectedly on the bench.Gordon exposed Ava's scheme, causing a rift between Harrison and Ava, which was somewhat satisfying.More importantly, without the support of the Ramirez family, Ava's future plans would be limited.Gordon was about to leave when Alessia stepped forward to stop him."Mr. Gordon, wait."Gordon impatiently turned around, saying irritably, "I've already said, I won't acknowledge you."Alessia's expression turned cold as well, refusing to back down. "Funny, I don't want to acknowledge you either."Gordon was taken aback, his expression stiff. "Then why call me?""I'm calling you just to confirm one thing." Alessia replied.Hearing this, Ava suddenly had
