Chapter 46: You look sexy
"Heaven Liu, I will give you the benefit of the doubt and I will stop testing the waters. One last chance to make things right for our son. Whether you are lying right now doesn’t matter. As long as you live up to this lie and don’t ever get caught because if you do, you’ll end up hating me more than you already did."
Failing was the only fear Heaven had in her previous life.
She knew that failure was never an option; it was never alright, because failure would cost more than her sinful life. This habit also still applied in this new life. Heaven was afraid she would mess things up. Thus, she was careful and would think things through carefully.
Hearing Dominic’s last remarks the moment the time hit eight brought this inexplicable motivation to her heart. Even though his aura and his tone changed to a much more intimidating one, she saw it as an opportunity.
A chance.
One last shot to make things right. A chance to claim this life and shape it to how she wanted it to be.
Heaven was thankful, but at the same time, there was this restlessness.
Heaven turned her head while she lay flat on the bed. There, Dominic was already asleep, not moving even a tiny inch. After their heart-to-heart conversation, the two of them enjoyed dinner together in silence. She was too drained to converse with him, unable to pretend their previous discussion didn’t have an effect.
’I’ll end up hating you more than I already did, huh?’ she repeated in her mind, eyes fixed on his side profile. ’Just what you can do for me to hate you? I’ve seen worse Dominic Zhu. Believe me. I don’t think I’d ever hate you.’
As she stared at the man — her husband — Dominic’s eyelashes slowly fluttered open. This didn’t surprise her, watching him turn his head to look at her squarely.
"You’re staring again." His voice was low, almost above a whisper. "Is that how you plan to bother me?"
