Dominic asked, turning his body to face his wife, his expression serious. "Do you really want to know about the women in my past? Are you prepared to be hurt?"
Gwen seemed to ponder his words. She realized that the more she knew about Dominic's past, the more it might hurt her, so she needed to prepare herself emotionally. "Since we've just arrived, it's probably better to continue this tomorrow. Besides, the information from Grandpa is enough for now."
Dominic chuckled at his wife's odd behavior—yesterday, she wanted to know about his past, but now that he was open, Gwen was the one holding back. "Alright then, let's talk about how to use this computer instead."
He explained in the simplest terms possible for Gwen to understand. She listened carefully to every explanation Dominic gave, not missing a single word. After ten minutes of listening, Gwen finally practiced what she had learned. It wasn't difficult for he
"That book you wanted to read," said Dominic, showing the book that had caught his wife's attention earlier. Gwen quickly took the book and continued down the stairs, step by step, to the second floor. However, midway down, she noticed an inviting spot—the lush, green gazebo in the backyard. The young woman changed course and headed to the first floor instead.Gwen read the book about managing a company in the gazebo, surrounded by thick green vines and cool air. She felt this was her favorite spot in the entire house. From a distance, Dominic smiled, watching his wife engrossed in her reading in one of her favorite places.Gwen stayed there for quite a while, the content of the book compelling her to keep reading. One of the household staff approached her, offering a drink. "Would you like some hot tea or orange juice, Miss?""No, I don't want anything to drink," Gwen declined, still absorbed in her book. "Thank you."After being turned down, the servant stepped away, reporting back
"My heart," Dominic replied concisely and clearly."What's wrong with your heart? Your heart is wicked; the elevator wasn’t broken, but you said it was," Gwen complained to her husband. "I rode the elevator with Grandpa, and nothing happened. How many times have you lied to me?"Dominic laughed at his wife's grumbling. The elevator button wasn’t actually broken; he just wanted to tease her. Annoyed, Gwen left her husband and decided to return to her room. Dominic followed her.A mischievous idea crossed Dominic’s mind, but he chose the safest one. "Now that we're home, how are we going to divide the rooms?"Gwen furrowed her eyebrows, not understanding his words. "Aren’t we used to sharing a bed by now? Besides, the bed is too big for one person."Dominic was pleased because Gwen was falling into his trap. "That was out of necessity. Now the situation is different; there are plenty of rooms here. You can choose whichever you want.""What if Grandpa finds out?" Gwen asked, confused. "C
Dominic kissed his wife's lips again, this time much wetter and more dominating. At first, Gwen was shocked and wanted to pull away, but gradually she enjoyed it and even responded to her husband. The man only stopped when he realized his wife was running out of oxygen. Gwen's breathing quickened, and her cheeks turned red again as she felt embarrassed to look at the man who was being sweet to her. "Hurry up and take a shower," he said quickly, leaving the bathroom.As soon as the bathroom door closed, Gwen cursed herself for not locking it. Thankfully, Dominic entered after she had finished showering. "Careless, what if he had come in while I was still showering? I might have been assaulted," she thought to herself.She quickly changed her clothes and went downstairs for breakfast. The servants were setting the table, and Gwen decided to help them, asking about the family's breakfast habits. Maiden happily explained the family's morning routines."So, Dominic only drinks milk?" Gwen
Dominic burst into laughter at his wife's question. He had thought Gwen was calm and wise, different from most women. But it turned out he was wrong; Gwen still felt jealous about his ex-girlfriend."Why are you laughing?" Gwen asked, puzzled."I thought you wouldn't get jealous, but here you are asking about it," Dominic replied, trying to suppress his laughter."Am I not allowed to ask about it?""Of course, you are. We only talked about global economic issues, specifically problems in our respective companies. It was just business, that's all," Dominic explained in detail.Gwen listened to her husband's explanation calmly. She trusted that they wouldn't discuss the past during an important business meeting between two prestigious companies. Just as Gwen was about to respond, Dominic cupped her thin face with his strong hands."Can I talk about how hurt I f
"If you allow me to meet her," Dominic replied, hiding his smile. "Can I?""NO!!"Dominic burst into laughter upon hearing his wife's prohibition. The two-year-old woman glared sharply, her voice rising, and her arms crossed. She really didn't like it when her husband met his ex-girlfriend."She broke your heart, so don't have any contact with her again. Bury your dreams of starting a business with her. Understand, Mr. Dominic?" Gwen forbade her husband."Understood, Miss Gwyneth. I won't see or have any contact with that woman. I didn't even want to meet her in the first place, I was just testing you."It was time for them to have dinner. Maiden had sent her junior to call them down to join her grandfather. This time, Dominic exited their room first and went downstairs, while Gwen busied herself with fixing her hair. Soon enough, she followed him. Again, the food on the table wa
"It's better to burn those things than to give them to her," Dominic replied."So, should we burn them or give them to your ex?" Gwen asked again."Burn them; they're part of my past," he said as he sat down and started working. Seeing no significant reaction from her husband, Gwen put the items back where they belonged and joined Dominic, handing him her completed work.Dominic was pleased with his wife's neat work, which greatly helped him. He even joked that he didn't need a secretary anymore, but Gwen protested, not wanting to cause her former colleagues to lose their jobs.They continued working together until lunchtime. Just like the day before, Maiden brought their lunch to the room. After lunch, Dominic and Gwen returned to work until it was time to "clock out.""Let's have dinner out tonight," Dominic suggested as a reward for Gwen's hard work.Of co
Dominic spotted someone from his past, Rachel, at the same place he was, but he had no intention of finding out why she was there. Instead, he picked up the bouquet of flowers he had prepared for his wife.“Why is he taking so long?” Gwen muttered as her husband hadn’t returned yet. But her frown quickly turned into a smile when she saw Dominic approaching with a large bouquet of flowers for her.“Sorry for making you wait. I was busy picking the most beautiful flowers for you,” Dominic teased, charming his wife. Gwen blushed as she accepted the bouquet, not forgetting to thank her loving husband.They both sat down again, waiting for their food to arrive. This time, Dominic had chosen an Italian menu for Gwen since she had once mentioned she’d never tried food from that part of the world.Luckily, Dominic had eaten Italian food before and knew what dishes his wife might enjoy. His heart warmed as Gwen seemed to love the meal he had picked. He could see how much she was enjoying each
"You recognized her face right away, huh?" Dominic remarked. "She was indeed there, but I didn’t meet her, nor do I care why she was there.""She was probably there for dinner with someone," Gwen added."Of course, but I don't care who she was with," Dominic said dismissively. "Next question, please."Gwen chuckled at her husband's quip. "I don’t have any other questions, I was just curious about that.""Good, then let's get some sleep. We’ve got work tomorrow, gotta make Mr. Charles even richer," Dominic joked, making Gwen burst into laughter."Which also means making you richer, since you're his grandson," Gwen teased, trying to stifle her giggles."But I’m nowhere near as wealthy as he is," Dominic replied, causing Gwen to laugh even more. That night, the two drifted off to sleep in a lighthearted mood, with their minds at ease. They slept so soundly that even the alarm couldn't wake them.Gwen was the first to open her eyes, startled by the noise coming from outside their room. Sh
