Crossroads Confessions by Deirdre Augus Chapter 38

Chapter 38
“She’s pregnant, and you still let her eat fried fish. Do you have any common sense!”
This sounded familiar to Stephanie, who guiltily buried her head under the covers. Last night, Dominick was lecturing her about lacking common sepse, and now…
Now, Dominick was the one being scolded for lacking common sense.
George, an early riser, was furious when Stephanie suddenly got a fever at four in the morning. Since Dominick had called the doctor, they couldn’t hide it, and George stormed over with his cane and started scolding
It’s actually my fault…” She wanted to say it was her own idea to eat fried fish.
Stephanie popped her head out, wanting to confess, but George was very angry. He glared at her, and Stephanie immediately backed down, swallowing her words.
Dominick didn’t argue back to George’s yelling, but his expression was very dark. He glanced at Stephanie sternly.
“From now on, both of you need to report to the parenting center every Sunday and learn how to be parents,” George said with a particularly sour expression, giving them a strict order
Stephanie didn’t mind going to class every Sunday since she had nothing else to do, but Dominick had his official duties…
When George left, Stephanie turned to look at Dominick, who wasn’t very happy.
“Stephanie…” She had a guilty expression. He looked at her, warning her with gritted teeth. “You better behave yourself!”
She didn’t dare to argue back because he was taking the blame for her
With a grim face, Dominick also left, leaving Stephanie under orders to rest in bed. Sandra even brought her breakfast to bed, reminding her.
“Mr. Wellington said that starting today, you must be in your room by ten o’clock, and if you go out, you need to call him beforehand…” Sandra said halfway through, then suddenly smiled.
“Oh, Mr. George Wellington also asked me to ask you, how’s Mr. Wellington’s cooking skill?”
Stephanie was surprised.
She didn’t expect George hadn’t tried anything cooked by Dominick.
Actually, George’s original question was whether Dominick’s cooking was edible, and it must be terrible! But the truth was, George hadn’t tried Dominick’s cooking.
George was really displeased. He glared sternly, his gaze sharp as he asked the doctor, “Is Dominick hiding anything from me?”
The doctor looked unease and spoke hesitantly. “Mrs. Wellington shouldn’t get herself too tired right now..

Chapter 38
“Do you think I don’t know about the video of Stephanie jumping into the river at Caelorium?”
George’s face darkened even more. He gritted his teeth. “He’s afraid I’ll scold her, so he made her midnight snacks!” Actually, he was wondering why Dominick hadn’t been cooked pasta for him!
George was still upset about not getting to try Dominick’s pasta for several days. Even Stella, who came to celebrate Christmas, felt George’s anger. She knew that Stephanie almost lost the baby after asking around.
Since George’s outburst, Dominick had been coming home very punctually, and Stephanie always felt his gaze on her was
somewhat sinister.
With his right hand holding her cell phone, Dominick looked at the new message just received, his expression gloomy:
Steffi, how have you been recently? I’m really worried about you. Can you reply to me?]
This was from Dominick’s cousin, Kevin.
Because of her fear of Dominick, Stephanie stayed on the other side of the sofa, watching TV. She was afraid of looking Dominick in the eye. Dominick tapped lightly a few times and then deleted the message.
Turning around, he grabbed his briefcase and headed to the study.
“Dominick, about Stephanie being abducted at Caelorium before, we caught some people,” Vincent was reporting something, then suddenly his tone turned mocking. “It was Claire who sent them.”
Dominick wasn’t too surprised to hear this. Just looked out the window into the dark sky as if contemplating something.
“Dominick, how do you plan to handle this?” Vincent asked, sensing his silence.
“Don’t get involved. I have plans,” he didn’t answer directly.
Sensing something amiss from his cold tone, Vincent asked, “Dominick, what exactly do you want to do?”
“I said, don’t meddle in any of Stephanie’s affairs.” Dominick’s tone sounded irritated.
Hearing his stern tone, Vincent decided not to interfere.
Changing the subject, Vincent said, “Dominick, it’s Christmas now. Put aside the business matters. Why are you back at Wellington Villa so early? Come out and have some fun. Many people are looking forward to seeing you.”
“I have important matters to attend to.”
Dominick didn’t say much, looking somewhat thoughtful as he glanced at the clock on the wall.
Just as he was about to hang up, he remembered Jessica and casually mentioned, “Let me arrange the female lead in your company’s first production this year…”
The call ended abruptly. Hearing his last words, Vincent looked at the entertainment headlines on TV with a stiff expression.
Jessica Returns to the Entertainment Industry…]

“So, he’s been busy these days because of Jessica?” Vincent muttered to himself. Dominick’s private affairs were none of his
concern, but….

Vincent was surprised. If Jessica had returned, did that mean Dominick didn’t care about Stephanie being abducted last time?
“Stephanie must have had a hard time too…” Vincent felt sympathetic towards Stephanie.
Stephanie?
Dominick came out from the study, pushed open the bedroom door, and saw Stephanie curled up on the couch, fast asleep.
He hurried back to make sure she rested in her room by ten, but there she was, sleeping on the couch.
Dominick approached her with a dark expression. He wanted to wake her up and scold her.
Though his expression was grim, he gently lifted Stephanie from the couch. “You’re really troublesome…”
Perhaps because Dominick was too intimidating. Stephanie, in a daze, felt someone watching her. Startled awake, she opened her eyes. “Dominick, what…what do you want?”
“What do you think I want?”
Dominick was irritated, and he tossed Stephanie onto the bed.
She noticed his bad mood as he headed towards the bathroom for a shower. Stephanie, startled by his actions, lost all sleepiness.
Stephanie hesitated for a moment, then turned to look at the TV in the small living room. Just now, there was a news report about Jessica…
“Dominick, there’s something I want to say…”
He had just come out of the bathroom, and Stephanie gathered her courage to negotiate with him.
“What is it?”
Unfortunately, as soon as Dominick spoke, Stephanie trembled, feeling intimidated by his fierceness.
“Um, are you in a bad mood?”
Dominick casually dried his wet hair with a towel and glanced at Stephanie on the bed, signaling her to continue.
“Dominick, I know anyone would be angry about this kind of thing.”
She looked resentful, pointing towards the TV on the left.
“Those people actually said Ms. Carter was having a secret affair with a mysterious benefactor. They’re making baseless claims with just a blurry photo. Don’t be too angry, Ms. Carter loves you so much. She wouldn’t cheat on you behind your back.”
Dominick, puzzled by her inexplicable words, grabbed the remote control from the side and replayed the previous news segment. It was about Jessica’s scandal.

“Stephanie, how do you know that person isn’t me?”

He looked at the blurry photo on the screen with interest. It was actually a news story fabricated by paparazzi, but he found himself intrigued.
“Of course not. You’re so handsome. I could tell at a glance that the ordinary man in the photo couldn’t be you.”
Stephanie felt guilty for letting him take the blame a few days ago, so she grinned sheepishly.
Seeing her silly smile, Dominick raised an eyebrow, his tone teasing as he asked, “Do you know me so well?”

Stephanie continued to flatter him, “Dominick, you’re so handsome, and your charisma is unmatched. You captivate every woman as soon as you step into a room. You’re absolutely eye-catching and unforgettable.”
“Is that so!”
Hearing her bring up these things, Dominick inexplicably felt annoyed. “Stephanie, do you really think I’m that unforgettable?” He was upset that she could forget him so easily!
She didn’t know why he suddenly got angry, feeling that he was difficult to please.
However, tonight Stephanie had something serious to discuss with him. She looked at him for a long time, and then she just went
for it!
As soon as she said, she startled him, saying, “Dominick, I really like you!” She looked as if she were ready for anything, shouting it
out.
Dominick, who had been standing by the bed with a towel in his right hand drying his hair, suddenly trembled, and the towel fell to the ground.
Dominick’s expression was complex, a mixture of many emotions. He stared fiercely at Stephanie on the bed, and his voice suddenly lowered. “What did you say?
She felt he was acting strangely. She wondered if saying she liked him had angered him.
“Dominick, don’t misunderstand,” she quickly explained, “I mean, you’re such a great guy. So many women admire you. I know I’m not worthy of you… She lowered her voice.
Dominick’s expression gradually grew colder.
“Don’t worry. I would never dare to vie to be your wife. After I have the baby, I’ll explain everything to your grandfather. I’m more than willing to make way for you and Ms. Carter. I hope you two can be happy soon,” Stephanie felt she had expressed herself very smoothly, sending her best wishes.
But she didn’t understand why Dominick still looked stern, and there was a hint of hostility in his eyes.
“Stephanie, do you dislike me?”
Dominick clearly felt Stephanie was a little excited and pleased as if she were happy he was with Jessica.

“I wouldn’t dare,” Stephanie denied stubbornly.
“You wouldn’t dare?”

He glared at her face fiercely. “Stephanie, what wouldn’t you dare! tree, press someone down, you will play the victim.” He knew Stephanie was very bold now.
Stephanie looked at his face so close to hers, hearing his accusations and feeling guilty. She admitted she had treated some people badly before, but…
“Don’t
press on me. Your grandpa said we shouldn’t be doing that for the first three months…” They were so close that her cheeks. blushed slightly as she struggled to push him away.
Dominick was annoyed that she was already using George against him.
“Then, we’ll do it again after these three months!” Dominick let her go, fiercely glaring at her.
Stephanie felt awkward, thinking she didn’t want to do that with him.
“If you move again, we’ll try something else!”
She lay on the bed very obediently, keeping her body tense and not moving at all. But Dominick, on her left, seemed very satisfied using her as a pillow, naturally burying his head in her neck as if they were an old married couple.
Before turning off the light, Dominick praised, “Stephanie, you’re so soft. You smell so good…”
Stephanie cursed him in her heart.
Stephanie wondered why Dominick didn’t seem interested in her proposal just now. She didn’t understand. Every time she saw Jessica’s face, she felt disgusted.
Stephanie didn’t want to be anyone’s substitute.
