Chapter 76
The car was a little hot and filled with Dominick’s unique smell.
Lola thought the smell seemed familiar when she got in the car, but then she gradually realized that she had smelled it somewhere before.
“Are you fantasizing about me?”
Dominick suddenly leaned over and put his hand against her seat back, half enclosing her in his arms.
Lola was stunned, then immediately came back to her senses and instinctively leaned backward.
“No, no.”
Dominick exuded an imposing presence, making
g Lola feel breathless when he got close to her.
Lola lowered her eyes. Her long eyelashes were trembling slightly.
Looking at her cute appearance, Dominick felt his heart melting
Every side of the person he liked would make his heart pound.
“Are you afraid of me?” Dominick did not take back his hand, but he obviously softened his voice a bit for fear of scaring Lola.
Lola pressed her lips, not daring to look into Dominick’s eyes,
His deep eyes were like a pool, seemingly capable of drawing in her soul if she looked at them for too long.
And Dominick was too mysterious. Lola was a little afraid of him, but she thought he would not really hurt her.
“I don’t know.
- v. You are a stran
are a stranger to me, but I don’t think I should be afraid of you.”
Lost memories always left some traces in the body.
For example, even if she had forgotten the person she once loved deeply, some traces would still emerge from the sealed memory at a particular moment.
Dominick’s eyes darkened a bit, and he suddenly sat back in his seat.
“You shouldn’t trust anyone totally.”
Dominick immediately made a decision.
He was afraid that Lola would think of the past because of some of his behaviors.
These memories of the past were all pain. If he let Lola recall the past because of his unbearable behaviors, he would hurt her again.
The oppressive feeling suddenly disappeared, and Lola was slightly stunned. She looked up at Dominick with mixed feelings.
She thought, “Why does he look angry?”
On the way to the Lewis family’s castle, the two of them had no conversation.
Lola didn’t overthink. She felt that she was too naive. After all, Dominick was just a stranger to her, and it was idiotic to talk too much to him.
Chapter 76
“Ms. Lewis is coming!”
Bruce shouted, and his voice echoed almost throughout the castle. The next second, more than a dozen people Lola knew or was unfamiliar with walked out of the castle.
“Ms. Lewis, you are finally here. We are waiting for you, the birthday girl”
“Ms. Lewis, you are prettier than ever. Scott must have taken good care of you recently. He is really a qualified husband.”
“Husband?‘
Lola only responded with a polite smile to the blessings of these strangers, but when she heard the word “husband“, the looked up at the person who said this with a puzzled expression.
“Mr. Wayne, what are you talking about? Don’t make such a joke. Layla, get out of the car. I’ve prepared your favorite strawberry–flavored
cake for you.”
Scott stepped forward in time to smooth things over and thoughtfully walked up to Lola to open the car door for her.
As he bent down, he looked into Dominick’s eyes.
Scott’s fake smile froze, and a hint of chill appeared in his eyes.
He wondered, ‘Why did Lola come here with this man?!
Scott put aside his doubts and led Lola inside with a smile.
The hand he had intended to put on Lola’s arm was placed on her waist. He held her tightly in his arms.
Such an intentional behavior made Lola feel strange. She furrowed her brows slightly but did not push Scott away.
She thought. “Why did that man say that Scott was my husband? Scott and I haven’t married yet.”
Too many doubts made Lola look a little anxious. Scott could tell something was wrong with her at a glance.
But his heart was occupied with dissatisfaction. He then straightened his demeanor and seriously asked in a low voice, “Layla, why did you
come with this man
inded you not to trust any strangers, and this man….
“I have reminded you
Scott paused slightly, then continued, “He doesn’t look like a good person, does he?”
Lola was stunned for a moment, then looked up at him with a frown.
In her impression, Scott had always been gentle and generous. He had never spoken ill of someone for no reason like just now.
Dominick didn’t do anything terrible to Lola. He had even reminded her to change clothes to cover the scars on
her arms today.
Lola hid the suspicion in her eyes. She was no longer the obedient girl when she woke up. She had her own plans now.
“Hmm.”
Dozens of well–dressed guests stood in the luxurious inner courtyard with goblets in their hands, waiting for the president to speak.
“Thank you all for coming. I wish my youngest daughter a happy birthday and happiness forever. Cheers!”

Chapter 76
“Happy birthday to Ms. Lewis!”
Lola smiled shyly and then drank the red wine in the glass.
She sat in the main seat, and guests kept coming to send blessings.
When everyone was eating and chatting. Lola finally got a moment of rest.
She looked around but didn’t find the man she was looking for.
“Layla, what are you looking for?” Scott approached at some point. Although he was smiling, his eyes were extremely calm.
Lola shifted her gaze and shook her head slightly. “Nothing. I just want to remember the guests at my birthday today.”
She lied to Scott.
Lola’s hands on her lap kept pinching the comers of her skirt. She avoided looking into Scott’s eyes.
Actually, Lola was looking for Dominick just now. She was sure that Dominick had come in behind her, but she couldn’t find him now.
She told herself in her mind, ‘Forget it. Dominick might have left due to something else.”
“You are alone here. What’s the matter with you?”
Ethan appeared on Dominick’s back and patted him. “The guests are having dinner, but you are alone in the garden. Are you feeling wronged?”
Dominick leaned against the pillar of the pavilion and looked up at Ethan casually, “Are you idle?”
“I finally got some free time, so I come to see you. Let’s go. You haven’t eaten yet today, have you?”
Ethan dragged Dominick back to the hall.
As soon as they stepped into the inner hall, some guests noticed Dominick
“Who is this? I have never seen him before. Who invited him here? I remember that only relatives and a few business partners have been invited to the birthday party.”
“But this young man…doesn’t look like someone successful in business, let alone be the business partner. He is not a relative of the president, so…”
This man who was speaking had a pair of eyes like Ethan’s, but there was somewhat sarcasm in them.
“Uncle, what are you talking about? This is my friend.”
