Chapter 405: [Bonus - ] Her scent on him
Spending some time with Ivy somehow distracted Heaven from her thoughts, but not enough to completely get rid of the things that muddled her mind. The family gathering ended ’peacefully.’ At least everyone survived in one piece.
Heaven joined Dominic in keeping the guests occupied, although she mostly talked to the elders who were known as neutrals in the family and only thought of the best for the family. She stayed away from the younger relative to save herself some trouble. Thankfully, Axel kept his cousins occupied.
Throughout the night, Silas would throw shades on his cousin which Dominic ignored. And just like that, Heaven excused herself to rest early while some of the Zhu relatives left. Dominic stayed outside since he was the host of tonight’s gathering. It was already late, so they would be spending the night in the old residence.
"Hmm..." Heaven stayed on the balcony with a glass of wine as her company and a framed photograph she got from the family room. "What am I going to do now?"
Her long lashes fluttered as she batted her eyes, keeping her gaze fixed on the photograph while taking a sip from the glass. She licked her lips, leaning back against the chair, holding the photograph up.
’Should I tell him?’ she wondered, tilting her head to the side. ’Or does it really matter?’
Heaven was reluctant to give Dominic the full truth in one go because of many things. It wasn’t that she didn’t trust Dominic and his love for her, but because of a low percentage chance that he might not accept this truth, existed.
She might be someone who often took risks, but this was not something she could easily gamble her life with. If living a lie was the only way to keep her husband and son, then she wouldn’t mind killing Hera completely.
’He always says the present is what’s important,’she told herself, letting out another deep exhale for the umpteenth time since coming into the room’s balcony. ’I can’t just tell him, I was that girl so abruptly.’
Heaven closed her eyes as her head throbbed. Deep lines appeared between her brows as she shut her eyes even tightly, feeling this tension wrapped around her head. As Heaven gravitate on what to do with this information in her head, she felt a person’s presence by the door.
"Dom, since when did you learn how to walk without making a sound?" she asked even before she opened her eyes. Her eyes slowly cracked open, cocking her head back, turning her head in the entrance’s direction.
