Crushed Affections (Dominic and Bella)
Chapter 134

Chapter 134 I'd Much Rather Be Your Man

Bella spent the whole night mulling over Dominic's words. She even dreamed about them.

Early the next morning, she went down for brealdast and saw that Dominic was still there. So, she gathered her courage and said cautiously, "Dearest elder brother, you're heading out pretty late today." Dominic shot her a look before saying, "Fuck off."

Seeing that there was no real bite in his tone, Bella couldn't help but smile and say, "It seems like the weather is really good today..."

Dominic didn't even bother to space her a glance, but before he left, he said, "I don't like being your brother. I would much rather... be your man. Walt for me to come home tonight."

Bella's smile immediately fell from her face. She knew it...

She knew she would have to pay for provoking him. She shouldn't have teased him with his words yesterday.

Ferhaps he didn't understand how important that statement was to Bella, but it meant that after 20 years, he had finally acknowledged that their relationship had progressed moch further than a sibling bond. That was something she had longed for for very long.

Once she finished her shift, she went straight to Bella's studio lile usual. However, Lia wasn't as free as she usually was, and she looked completely overwhelmed with her work.

Bella was slightly shocked "Did you accept a new case? Have you moved on from your breakup?"

Lia couldn't help but roll her eyes. "Bella, can you stop polding at my wounds? I do have a big case, and my client seems to be in a hurry, I don't have time to accompany you. You can just take a seat and do your own things. You can also order some takeout if you're hungry."

at your client is Leonard again? I don't want him to ruin your

Bella pursed her lips and said, "I'm just here to checkup on you, so I'll leave in a bit. Do you think that mood again this time."

Lia nearly lost it as she said, "A lot of the things you've said have been coming true lately. You'd better not jinx it. I'm sure he isn't my client this time. I've already talked to the client myself. Now, go and play somewhere else."

Once one was busy, one would not have the time to think of anything else. Seeing Lia's current state, Bella felt more rest assured. Hence, she didn't disturb her and went home after a while.

By the time she arrived home, Dominic had already finished his shower and changed into some casual wear. F from his tone, he seemed to be talking about work.

She did not dare to disturb him, so she immediately headed in

Sylvia came up to her and said, "Dinner is ready. I'll go and call Mr. Miller over here."

He was making a call in the courtyard, and judging

Bella nodded. "Alright, but he's currently on the phone. Lower your voice when you go there later. I'll go and take a quick shower before coming down again." After taking a simple shower, she headed downstairs with her hair half-dried. Dominic had already finished his call and was currently sitting at the end of the dining table.

However, he seemed to be busy as he was still texting away on his phone. He hadn't even begun to eat yet.

Bella knocked softly on the edge of the table and said, "You can continue once you've had dinner. The food won't be good once it gets cold."

Dominic looked at her and said, "Oh, are you trying to tell me what to do? You're not there yet. You can eat first."

Bella wanted to roll her eyes, but she just said, "It's up to you. I was just trying to be considerate."

After five minutes, Dominic finally put down his phone and began to eat, glancing at her occasionally.

She had just finished her shower, so the smell of her clean and fresh shampoo surrounded the air. Her shoulder-length hair was left down, and small water droplets would drip down her neck occasionally.

The water droplets would glide from her neck and into her shirt.

Dominic's gaze darkened as he gulped subconsciously. "How am I supposed to eat like th

Bella looked up in contusion. "What?

He put down his fork with an unhappy expression. "Go and dry your hair."

this?"

Bella wanted to say that her wet hair would not bother him, but she didn't dare to say a word after seeing his expression. So, she obediently went up to her room and dried ber room.
