Big Novel

Chapter 160

Stephanie was slightly stunned for a moment. She looked at Dominick and asked in confusion, "Diana hung up my phone."

Stephanie became a little worried.

She pressed her lips and muttered, "Dominick, what did you say to her? Why did she hang up the phone?"

Dominick gave the phone back to her unhappily. He snorted, "I don't know."

Stephanie took her phone. She looked at the black screen.

She sighed, "Did you scare her?"

Dominick's face darkened. He felt even more unhappy.

But he didn't want to argue with Stephanie. Dominick glanced towards the car window. The driver was already running towards them in a hurry.

The car was usually driving. Suddenly, a black van cut in across the road. Their car braked. Stephanie's phone fell.

Diana also noticed something was wrong.

Stephanie wanted to bend down to pick up the phone. But Dominick was faster than her. Diana heard Dominick's voice. She asked anxiously, "Who is it?"

"I am her husband."

Dominick just said this.

Then the phone was hung up.

Dominick also felt very puzzled.

Diana seemed shocked.

"Sit down." Dominick looked serious. He pushed Stephanie to the seat and fastened her seat belt.

He looked up at the driver. The driver continued driving back to Wellington Villa.

Dominick didn't take Diana's reaction seriously. Maybe she was indeed scared of him. Many people in the business circle were afraid of him.

There was another thing that concerned Dominick. "Send someone to check the black van that just cut in the road." He wondered, 'Was it an accident or an intentional move?'

Stephanie called Diana back with concern.

But Diana didn't answer.

"Hey, what did you just say to Diana?" Stephanie was a little angry.

She was sure that Dominick must have said something to scare her Diana.

Dominick ignored her.

He still looked straight ahead as if he was particularly concerned about the passing cars.

"Dominick, Diana just had a heart surgery. Please don't provoke her. What if she gets sick again?".

Dominick looked at the road ahead expressionlessly. They were about to reach Wellington Villa.

Stephanie kept complaining. Dominick said coldly, "Stephanie, when do you want to tell your aunt that I'm your husband?"

"What?"

Stephanie didn't react for a moment.

Dominick glared at her and said, "Do you think I embarrass you?"

The car quickly stopped in the garage. Dominick got out of the car without waiting for the driver to open the door. He took big steps as if he had something urgent to do.

Stephanie was stunned in the back seat. She watched Dominick walk away. Chapter 160

She muttered, "It's so hard to tell Diana. It's so embarrassing. Should I just say that we married so fast because I am pregnant?"

Stephanie didn't know what Dominick was busy with. He was too capable and had no time to accompany her. She felt ashamed to use his time.

However, Stephanie knew that she should explain it to Diana.

After returning to the bedroom, she tried to call Diana back several times. But she still didn't answer it.

Dominick was busy in the study. They had dinner together. During dinner, Dominick once again emphasized his requirement to meet with Diana. Dominick wanted to explain their current marital situation.

"But Diana just had surgery. What if it upsets her?" Stephanie stammered. She took the last sip of soup.

Dominick seemed to be really busy. He stood up from the chair and glared at Stephanie in dissatisfaction. He ignored her again.

Stephanie was pregnant. She decided to live a casual life. After finishing dinner, she prepared to go to bed.

Stephanie talked to her unborn children, "I liked the kind of man who takes care of his family and has time to accompany his wife. How come I met your dad?" After taking a walk, Stephanie went to the bedroom to get her pajamas for a bath. Stephanie sat comfortably in the warm water. She thought of Dominick, who was busy all day and had little time to enjoy his vacation. Her mind was filled with his images.

She couldn't help but complain again, "Dominick is so cold all day. If only he was as gentle as Little Pillar."

She slapped the water in the bathtub out of boredom.

Stephanie thought she vaguely heard her phone ringing outside. She quickly wrapped the towel around her and walked out.

Stephanie glanced at the screen of her phone. It was the landline number of the nursing home. It should be Diana calling.

Aunt Diana, the man that talked to you on the phone is my husband," Stephanie told truth.

"Hello, Ms. Reed. I'm a nurse from the nursing home." A young female voice came from the phone.

She spoke gently. "Ms. Clark asked me to call you. She wants you to know that she is in good health now. The operation was successful. You don't need to worry about her. She has some things to do. She will contact you in a while."

"What is she busy with?" Stephanie couldn't help but ask.

Stephanie thought, 'Diana asked a nurse to call me. Why didn't she call me herself?"

She suddenly became worried. "Did something happen to Aunt Diana? Dis she look very angry?"

Stephanie asked several questions in one breath. The nurse smiled and said, "Ms. Reed, you really don't have to worry. Ms. Clark's physical condition is very optimistic. Dr. Pearson has been personally following her condition."

Stephanie was stunned for a moment.Contents belong to NovelDrama.Org

Oscar was a doctor. He performed the surgery on Diana personally.

In fact, Oscar was not supposed to study medicine. The Pearson family was particularly opposed to his decision at first. But Oscar insisted. He obtained multiple professional degrees at the same time.

When Stephanie was a child, she said to Oscar, "Don't study medicine. You should study finance. The Pearson family will be even more dissatisfied with you."

Oscar replied, "If your aunt gets sick, you will cry."

Oscar always said little.

He once promised Stephanie that he would cure Diana's illness. At that time, Stephanie thought Oscar was just joking.

After hanging up the phone, Stephanie felt inexplicably depressed.

Stephanie dried her long hair dry, changed into her pajamas, and climbed into the big bed. She was unable to fall asleep.

Stephanie looked towards the second drawer of the bedside table. She put the small wooden box in it.

She had secretly kept this exquisitely carved wooden box all these years. After she broke up with Kevin, she almost forgot about it. Fortunately, the things inside were still intact.

Oscar's grandfather and her grandfather were close comrades Oscar was an illegitimate child. He ον had lived with his grandfather until he was three years old. Stephanie had known him since they were kids.

Chapter 160

Oscar was a little autistic. It was probably because the Pearson family bullied him. He had a cold Com personality. In fact, Stephanie felt that this genius student was a little arrogant. Oscar didn't care about anything.

Because of his indifference, it was always difficult for people to approach him.

anie and Oscar were in the same kindergarten, elementary school, and middle school. Growing up with Oscar had been a habit for Stephanie. She didn't overthink about it.

But suddenly, one day, Thomas told Stephanie that she couldn't give the necklace away because it was a token of their engagement. Stephanie asked, "The engagement token? I don't want to marry him."

Thomas growled, "You have to marry even if you don't want to. I've already promised his grandfather. Don't be willful."

Stephanie shouted, "I don't want to marry someone with autism!"

Stephanie was very surprised. No om one had ever told her about her engagement. So many elders were staring at her at that time. She became angry and embarrassed. She said something very hurtful.

Oscar was standing outside the gate. He stood there silently.

Stephanie knew Oscar was standing at the gate. She grabbed the necklace in her hand and rushed out. When she passed by Oscar, she yelled at him, "I don't want to see you anymore!"

Then, Stephanie threw the necklace into the air.

Thomas was furious about her. He accused Stephanie of being too willful and daring to throw away the necklace.

Stephanie felt a little heavy when she thought about the past.

"I didn't really throw it away. I threw it into the pond." Stephanie threw it into the artificial carp pond in the front yard on purpose. The necklace was not missing. But Oscar had gone.

The necklace was extraordinary. It had two blood-red crystals. The two crystals formed a circle together.

There were some worthless handicrafts in the box, such as small grass rings.

Although they were withered and yellow, they were very delicate. Oscar made them himself.

Stephanie began to feel sleepy.

She closed her eyes slightly and hugged the quilt. She heard the words the nurse had just said, "Dr. Pearson has left the sanatorium. I heard that he went to Frostvale."

"Little pillar is in Frostvale." Stephanie pressed her lips and muttered.

Stephanie knew that Teresa had a birthday party next week for turning 50.

Dominick had told her before that she needed to accompany him to attend the Pearson family's birthday banquet.

"Little Pillar, what have you been doing these years? Why didn't you look for me?

Are you still angry with me?"

Stephanie had a lot to say to Oscar, especially to say sorry.
