Ever since Arsen said that, Lyra had a thought. She couldn’t sleep now. After all, it was past midnight. “Actually, I’m also very curious. I don’t really need to know about Dominic’s past with his ex. But still, do I need to find out? I have to talk to Adara? But where does she live now in France? I don’t know either.” That night, Lyra fell asleep uncomfortably.

“Sel.” Lyra looked at Selina with her puppy eyes.
“What? What do you want? You must be up to something. I can tell when I see the look in your eyes.”
“Hehe.” Selina rolled her eyes.
“What? What do you want? Please don’t make things difficult for me, Lyra.”
“It won’t be too much trouble for you. I promise.”
“Yeah, what? blurt it.”
“Seduce Tristan, so that the man will tell you where Adara lives, will you? Please...
Selina and Tristan exchanged glances. Selina’s heart beat faster when she saw Tristan’s seductive smile, as well as the deep gaze he gave her. Seriously, there was something about Tristan that was so attractive to her. Do not know what it is, but Selina tried to get rid of that thought because it already crossed the line for her. “W-what do you mean?” Selina cursed in her heart because she was too nervous, she always stuttered. She even closed her eyes when Tristan approached. Until there is no distance between them. Selina could feel their thighs rubbing against each other under the grey blanket. Tristan was silent, enjoying the beautiful scenery in front of him. This face without makeup looks so charming in Tristan’s eyes. ‘Pretty.’ Her eyelashes are quite thick and long, though not as long as his. Her skin was as white as milk. She looked so adorable with her cheeks flushed because Selina was embarrassed. Tristan was sure tha
Thud!Selina’s body almost fell backward because Lyra suddenly hugged her tightly with all her strength. “L-Lyra, let me go. You’re choking me!” Selina tried to push the body away.“Kyaaaa! You are my best friend ever, Sel! It’s not in vain that you become my best friend!” Lyra said as she continued to tighten the hug.“Lyra! Let me go.” Lyra chuckled a little.Chu.She kissed Selina’s cheek once. “Tristan, gave the information to you straight away? Wow, he’s that weak for you?” Lyra seemed very excited to hear Selina’s story. But Selina rolled her eyes instead. But Lyra was even more suspicious and excited because Selina’s cheeks suddenly turned red.“Your cheeks are turning red! Did something happen?”“Tsk! Keep your face away!” Selina didn’t want to talk about what happened yesterday to Lyra
“Why so sudden?!” His voice rose. There was an angry look there.“I actually wanted to tell you about this from a few days ago. But we were in a cold war at the time. I’m too lazy to talk to you. So I’m telling you now.”“No. I’m won’t permit you.”Lyra almost glared. “What? Why? You can’t do that. I really want to go. You can’t just stop me, Dominic.”“I’m your husband, Lyra! Of course, I can forbid you!” Lyra didn’t have time to argue because Dominic stood up straight away.“Don’t argue with me,” Dominic said stubbornly. He left the room. Leaving Lyra, who could only sigh deeply.“I still have to go there. I want to find out. It’s your fault why you didn’t want to tell me. I’ll go find out myself.”***Dominic kept himself busy in his private room. H
“Haa...” Adara took a deep breath. She had been told by Dominic—her brother—that Lyra would come here with Zachery. She had been told the scenario of how she should face Lyra later.“See, now I have to lie again to keep Dominic safe.” Adara shook her head in annoyance.“Why is my brother’s life so complicated?”Adara looked at the clock in her hand. “What time will they be here?” Adara had predicted that Lyra would come today. But don’t know what time. She had just asked that before the doorbell rang.Ding Dong.“Oh, is that them?” Adara rushed forward. Looking at the monitor screen and it was true, it was Lyra together with Zachery, who was holding Lyra’s hand. Adara smiled to see her nephew. “Ah, he’s just getting more handsome.”Ding Dong.The bell rang again. Lyra seemed impatient. Adara could also see
“What?” Lyra’s gaze only grew more serious. Her heart beats twice as fast.“Yes, Dominic had a terrible past love, I would say. He has always been very cold to women. He always does. He doesn’t like the touch of women and hates them. Do you know the story about his parents?”‘His parents?’ No, Lyra knows nothing important from the man.“No. I’m not. Can you tell me?”Adara nodded her head in understanding. “Her mother died from suicide.”Badum!Lyra’s heartbeat seemed to stop that very second. “W-what? Y-you’re not kidding, right? Tell me you just kidding.”Adara shook her head. “No. I’m not joking at all. You can see the honesty and seriousness in my gaze.” Yes, it is right. Lyra could see it. And she was sure that Adara was speaking the truth.“But why? Why did she kill herself?&
Lyra and Zachery had returned. Dominic picked them up at the airport. There was a hint of panic in Dominic’s gaze. Especially when Lyra’s figure came into view. They walked over to Dominic. Dominic wondered. ‘What is Lyra thinking right now?’Judging from her expression, Lyra looked fine. There was no trace of sadness on that beautiful face at all. ‘Adara really said nothing strange, did she?’ Adara sometimes always acts as she pleases. It was very difficult to arrange. Tristan’s words to him were true.“Daddy!” Zachery let go of Lyra’s hand and ran towards his daddy. Dominic’s smile grew as his son drew closer. He spread his arms. He lowered his body to welcome Zachery’s embrace.Thud!“Ugh!” Zachery hugged him too, excited.“I miss you!”Dominic just chuckled at that. “Did you have fun in Paris?” Zachery nodded
‘S-so it’s true, isn’t it? Adara is not Zachery’s biological mother? She is Dominic’s sister? So who exactly is Zachery’s biological mother?’ Lyra looked at Zachery, who was fast asleep in her arms. The woman took a deep breath.‘Tsk! What exactly is Dominic hiding?! Why not he just tell me! We are husband and wife. We should not be hiding something from each other. It’s like, we’re married but still feel like we are strangers. What is the meaning of me for you, Dominic? I feel like I’m nothing to you. Even when you already told me about your feeling.’ One teardrop just fell from her eye.***Dominic massaged his sore neck. Ah, his body feels so limp now. Dominic wasn’t lying about the work he had piled up at the office and had to finish it tonight. So he’s overtime. It is now half-past eleven. Dominic came home at ten o’clock and was speeding to get
“Yes, Lyra. There’s still a little work to do now. I’ll be home around nine. No need to wait for me. You can have dinner with Zachery and grandma first. And remember, do not stay up late, go to bed as soon as you’re sleepy.” Dominic turned off his cell phone after Lyra replied yes to what he just said. Now he is going to the hospital. As usual, he would visit Elissa. Dominic immediately started this car and drove off. The man didn’t know at all that someone was watching him from a distance.Arsen opened his car window to throw out the cigarette he was holding with two fingers. His grip on the steering wheel tightened. The man’s gaze was very focused. Arsen will follow Dominic today. He gets reports from his spies that Dominic often visits the hospital. Arsen became curious about who Dominic visited there. Why do you come so regularly?Arsen followed the man carefully. Watching the distance between his car
