Crossroads

Chapter 128

"Are you waiting for your husband's call?" Molly teased and looked at her best friend, Stephanie, with a gossipy smile. "Stephanie, you just left home like that. Aren't you afraid your husband is frantically looking for you?"

"The chauffeur brought me here," Stephanie replied in a muffled voice.

Molly got excited upon hearing that. "So, you're actually waiting for Dominion to come pick you up himself?"

She thought, 'Pick me up? I wasn't some emperor or on a tour!

Stephanie showed annoyance as she glanced at Molly. "I'm in a bad mood." She wouldn't be responsible for the consequences if anyone bothered her now, Seeing her angry expression, Molly couldn't help but laugh aloud.

"Don't say that. If my boss comes here later, I'll be a little nervous," Molly said, glancing around her apartment seriously. "Is it too messy? Should I clean up?"

"Molly, go to hell... Stephanie grabbed a SpongeBob pillow from the sofa and threw it at her. She was already annoyed, and her friend wasn't helping but rather making fun of her.

Molly caught the cute pillow, thought for a moment, and suddenly looked worried. "Stephanie, what if Dominion really ignores you? What will you do then?"

In Molly's mind, Dominick was almost sacred. She couldn't believe Stephanie, an ordinary person, dared to anger him and even ran away from home.

Many women were drooling over him. She would be quite pitiful if he got really angry and ignored Stephanie once and for all.

"Stephanie, why don't you give in?

"Call Dominion and apologize. We're all brave. What's wrong with admitting fault? if it doesn't work, just act cute and cling to him. If he really ignores you, you might regret it...

Stephanie looked down on her suggestion but praised her ambiguously, "Molly, I think your place is quite nice."

Surveying the elegantly simple apartment, Stephanie suddenly got up from the sofa and walked towards the small bedroom, looking at the 4 feet 11 inches single bed inside.

"I've decided to stay at your place."

"What? Hey, Stephanie, those are my pajamas... Are you really not leaving? No! What if Dominion comes asking for you? I can't handle that."

Molly's voice turned desperate as she shouted towards the bathroom, "Damn it, Stephanie, if your husband thinks I'm hiding you, you better explain it's all your fault. Don't drag me into this, got it!"

In the bathroom, Stephanie shamelessly used Molly's body wash, completely ignoring the cries from outside.

Molly was furious at her for occupying her place so shamelessly. She thought, "Damn it. She was just a thug."

She wondered how Dominion could fall for such a woman...

"Stephanie, listen up. I'm just a lowly employer. I'm not like you. I have to keep my job to make a living!" Molly pressed her face against the door, making one last attempt.

Chapter 123

"After your bath, when he comes to pick you up, just go with him, okay!"

Molly was wrong. Actually, it wasn't entirely Stephanie's fault because Dominick didn't come to pick her up that night The next day was the weekend, and Molly didn't have to work. Normally, she would sleep in.

"Don't sleep anymore. It's already six o'clock. Get up and have breakfast. My sons are hungry!"

The clear voice beside her disrupted Stephanie's sleep early in the morning.

Stephanie, used to waking up early at Wellington Villa, woke up naturally. Especially now that she was pregnant and in a bad mood, she got hungry easily. She couldn't let her sons starve.

Molly, with dark circles under her eyes, looked haggard.

She glanced at the spirited Stephanie beside the bed. "Miss, it's only six o'clock. Are you a caveman? We modern people don't wake up this early. I want to sleep!" She pulled up the covers, trying to resist.

But Molly's resistance was in vain.

"You can eat by yourself. Why do you have to wake me up to eat with you? Stephanie, you're a freak." Molly was very upset and still very sleepy as if half sleepwalking and munching on a sandwich.

"I'm used to having someone eat with me."

Stephanie's expression was complicated. Dominick did get up very early and often came home late at night. But except when he was on a business trip, he would always make sure to be in the dining room by 7:30 AM to have breakfast with her.

George had breakfast at 5 AM in the past, but since she moved to Wellington Villa, the breakfast time gradually shifted to 7:30 AM. George never complained because Dominick adjusted to her schedule.

"Stephanie, are you going back home today?

"You can't do this. Couples are bound to have arguments, but running away from home isn't right," Molly kept advising her.

Last night, the two of them shared a single bed. It was barely enough, but Stephanle seemed to have gotten used to the double beds at Wellington Villa. Molly was almost pushed off the bed several times during the night.

"Stephanie, you move around a lot in your sleep. Did Dominick mention Stephanie, chewing on pasta, mumbled, "No."Contents belong to NovelDrama.Org

ever Molly felt bad, thinking that dealing with Stephanie's restless sleep must have been hard for Dominick.

After breakfast, Stephanie surprisingly grabbed some cleaning tools and said she wanted to do a thorough cleaning of the house.

It seemed like she was planning to stay for a long time, preparing for a long-term battle with Dominick.

Molly wondered if this would inevitably drag her into the conflict. Molly felt a deep sense of frustration.

"Stephanie, no matter what happens, we need to sit down and talk it out. There's nothing that can't be resolved!" with an unusually serious expression, Molly grabbed the mop from Stephanie's hands and pulled her to the small living room to sit down. "Is Dominick treating you badly? Is he scolding you? Is he seeing someone else?" Molly asked anxiously, one question after another. "Is it true what they say that life in a wealthy family is like suffering, and you can't handle the rules there?"

Chapter 128

"No." Stephanie felt a bit awkward under Molly's intense scrutiny. "He won't let me know anything. I feel..."

Molly was surprised to hear this.

"Dominick doesn't let you know because he wants to protect you. We can't understand how dark and complex their world is. Even at my job, I've seen so much scheming and backstabbing. Sometimes, I really envy you for not knowing anything."

"I don't want it this way!" Stephanie frowned and looked down, her eyes dark. "Molly, you know me. I'm not me. Cont afraid of getting hurt or enduring hardships. I don't need him to protect h

me, and I don't want to be a clueless woman..."

She paused, tightly gripping her phone, staring at his number, her tone determined. "If I don't know anything, I won't feel secure... What if one day he forgets to come find me? How will I find him then?"
