However, even after Alessia finished speaking for a long time, she didn't hear Dominic's response.
Dominic's deep and dark gaze fell on Alessia's delicate lips. The lips that had just sipped the juice looked particularly rosy, with a few drops of orange juice lingering at the corner.
Dominic's throat moved, feeling unusually thirsty. Those few drops of orange juice seemed to be magnified in his pupils. He involuntarily stood up and reached out his hand.
Alessia instinctively wanted to dodge, but as the man's well-defined fingers approached, she felt as if she was bewitched.
Suddenly, she didn't want to move anymore. An evil thought arose in her mind, wanting him to touch her.
The man's fingers brushed across her lips, gently wiping away the orange juice at the corner of her mouth.
The places the man's fingers touched felt like they were on fire, i
"Yeah, that's..." Bianca's words were about to blurt out subconsciously. At a critical moment, her finger was quietly tugged by Christopher. Bianca almost bit her tongue, swallowed hard, and changed her words under her brother's oppressive gaze. "It's the two children Alessia gave birth to!" Dominic furrowed his brows tightly, the slight ripple in his heart subsided, and he snorted coldly. "Bianca, you have some nerve. There's no chance between me and her. What happened today is a one-time thing." Dominic left with a dark expression. Bianca patted her chest with lingering fear, her face sagging. "Scared me to death." Christopher tightened his little face. "Auntie, be careful with what you say next time." Bianca rolled her eyes and slumped on the sofa, looking displeased. "Brat, doesn't your conscience hurt? How long do we ha
Rosedale Residence. In the morning, as soon as Alessia got up, she received a call from Christopher. "Baby, do you miss mommy?" "I knew it, you're back, but you didn't even come to see me." The voice on the phone was not the childish voice of her eldest son but a deep, mature voice with a hint of vicissitude. Alessia immediately recognized it as the voice of Grandma Carter, and her emotions fluctuated. During her three years in the Carter family, only Grandma Carter genuinely treated her well. "Grandma, how are you feeling?" Alessia asked. "Not good." Grandma Carter said grumpily, "If you come over now and have a meal with me, maybe I'll feel better." Alessia felt a warmth in her heart and slightly curled her lips. They said that old people sometimes needed to be coaxed like chil
Bianca couldn't hold back her explanation. But halfway through her words, she felt someone stepping on her foot under the table. Bianca looked at Alessia. Alessia drank her water expressionlessly, as if the person they were discussing wasn't her. Bianca bit her lip. It seemed her sister-in-law was very unhappy. "Well, what's the explanation then?" Clara urged, crossing her arms and sneering sarcastically. "Can't come up with anything?" Bianca blushed and was about to speak again when she felt the foot on hers press down harder. Bianca could only take a sip of juice and said stubbornly, "I don't want to talk about it." "Don't want to talk about it? That's because you feel guilty," Clara taunted, smirking triumphantly. Bianca choked, about to retort, but Grandma Carter spoke up to stop he
After the meal. Grandma Carter held Alessia's hand as they walked in the garden. With a loving expression, Grandma Carter said, "Sia, when you have time, bring your twin daughters back to let Grandma have a look." Earlier in the dining room, Clara suddenly mentioned her remarriage and child, embarrassing her. Unexpectedly, her grandmother didn't mind at all and even wanted to meet the two babies. Alessia pursed her lips, suppressing the emotional turmoil in her heart. She couldn't bring the twins to the Carter family's old mansion. This would surely disappoint her grandmother. "Silly girl, are you worried that Dom won't like it?" Grandma Carter asked with concern when she saw Alessia remaining silent. Feeling even more guilty, Alessia pursed her lips and uttered two words, "I'm sorry!"
Dominic's thoughts returned, only to find the woman beside him had already closed her eyes. With her eyes closed, the woman's skin looked cold and pale, her thick eyelashes casting a quiet shadow. She always seemed cool and unapproachable, but now she appeared a bit more gentle. She really took him for a chauffeur. A barely perceptible smile crossed Dominic's lips. Perhaps any woman sitting in his passenger seat wouldn't be willing to use it for sleeping. She was truly carefree. The car entered the Rosedale Residence. Dominic was about to wake up the woman next to him when she, like she had an alarm clock, opened her eyes. Dominic squinted, suddenly suspecting that the woman had been pretending to sleep the entire time. Just to avoid interacting with him. This realization made Dominic feel a bit stifle
Ava saw this heartwarming scene as soon as she entered the door. After a slight moment of daze, she instructed the servant to place the things she brought on the table. She smiled at the two little ones and said, "Darlings, Grandma has come to see you again. Today, I specially bought gifts for you. Let's see if you like them." As Ava spoke, she took out a Barbie doll and a Transformer from the bag. She had someone investigate and knew that this daughter had been divorced before. She had just returned with a pair of twin daughters, but now the twins had become fraternal twins. It should have been a mistake by the private investigator. But strangely enough, as she looked at the boy today, he bore some resemblance to Dominic. Upon careful thought, she felt it must be a coincidence. The Carter family's lineage was thin; how could they let their children wander outside?
"Mom, I'm sorry, I seem to have messed up your gathering," Christian apologized with his head down as they left the Ramirez family's gate.Alessia looked at her dramatic son and said, "Then how do you plan to compensate me?""Huh?" The little guy lifted his head nervously at once, his face showing no hint of apology.Alessia tapped his little nose, "Alright, I didn't blame you. You did well tonight. It's me who didn't do well, shouldn't have brought you to such an occasion.""Mommy is always right." Eleanor, who had not spoken until now, raised her head and said without principle.Alessia softened, deciding never to bring her two children to the Ramirez family again. She didn't want them to suffer because of her.The next day, Ava made several calls to invite her to go shoppin
"Ah, call the police? So not only are you pretending to be rich, but you're also a thief." "It's such a pity that such a beautiful woman is a thief." The men nearby couldn't help but feel sorry for Alessia. The women couldn't control their men, so they glared at Alessia with resentment. "Hello fans! Oh, by the way, I'm at the Al Studio store. I wanted to buy a few clothes here today. If you have time later, help me make a choice." Suddenly, a deliberately sweet and soft voice came from outside the store. Everyone turned their heads and saw Sisca walking into the store wearing a little white dress, with her black hair draped behind her head. She was followed by her assistant holding a selfie stick for her live broadcast. After entering, Sisca seemed to have just noticed Alessia in the crowd and exclaimed in surprise, "Miss La
