Chapter 17: An emergency
A room for redemption?
Dominic had to stop himself from laughing at the funniest joke he had ever heard. Not that it deserved mockery or ridicule, but shrugging it off was better than hoping she meant those words. Heaven had no idea what those words mean, and how destructive they could be if the receiver was someone else. For example, their son.
A moment of silence descended into the room as neither of them spoke for a while. Heaven kept her eyes on her lap while Dominic was studying her meek appearance.
"Are you sure?" he pinched the bridge of his nose and sounded annoyed at the sudden request.
"Yes," Heaven asserted and then raised her head. "That's all."
"Fine," he said with a huff. His sour expression told her he disapproved of the revision but didn't reject her request. "Sign the papers. My lawyers can just revise those later."
'Wait, what?'she thought in surprise. 'I thought they would have to redo these clauses before I sign them!'
"Hmm?"
Heaven cleared her throat, snapping back to reality. "Alright then." She picked up the fountain pen from the table, slowing down her movements as she pretended to read the paper once more. This time, the papers were already on the table.
