Crushed Affections (Dominic and Bella)
Chapter 143

Chapter 143 Ruthless

As the lightning subsided, the storm outside also stopped at some point.

Dominic got up and walked to the window, then lit a cigarette. He only noticed Pudding had been there all along when it came to stand behind him,

"You're too quiet, Dominic muttered.

Obviously. Pudding didn't understand him. Unlike humans, it couldn't perfectly express sadness and simply wagged its tail silently.

Bella hadn't returned to her senses yet. She lay on the bed, unwilling to move. Her eyes were half-closed as she watched his back outside the window, a lonely moon hung in the sky. The breeze that blew after the rain carried a fresh scent. It drifted into the room, making her feel sleepy.

The following moming, Bella woke up from the heat. The air conditioning was still running, and the temperature was perfectly fine. However, the warmth came from the body tightly pressed against her from behind. She was practically being smothered, and she struggled to breathe.

She was surprised that Dominic had spent the night in her room. But now, all she wanted to do was get up quickly and take a shower. She didn't want to be late for work However, she also didn't want to wake him, so she tried her best to slip out of his embrace. But just as she started to move, his anns around her tightened, and he whispered softly in her ear, "If you move, It'll wake up."

Bella froze. "It" had already "woken up" she could feel it.

Last night's madness had left her whole body aching, and she wasn't up for another round. After regaining her composure, she softly said, "I'm going to be late for work. Let me go..."

Dominic nuzzled her neck before reluctantly loosening his grip. Then, he rolled over to continue sleeping. It didn't seem like he intended to get up.

On the other hand, Pudding was quite the follower. It followed Bella wherever she went. Even when she headed to the bathroom, it tagged along. Given that it was a female dog, Bella allowed Pudding to be clingy.

During breakfast, Bella took a bite of her sandwich, then casually tossed a little bit of her food into Pudding's dish. It was a simple sandwich, which Pudding also loved to eat.

Sylvia suddenly stared at her and touched her own neck with a strange expression. Bella caught on and smiled awkwardly.

"I get it. I'll... cover it up."

Sylvia grinned knowingly. "Stop playing with Pudding, Ms. Jones. You'd better hurry up and finish eating. You're going to be late for work"

Bella glanced at the time, then stuffed the rest of the sandwich into her mouth. She grabbed her bag and was about to leave, but then she turned back to Pudding and said, "I'm off to work, and I'll be back tonight. Be good, okay?"

Padding wagged her tail and watched Bella leave, then quietly lay by the door. She looked like she was settling in for the long wait.

People said that a pet dog's life was mostly spent waiting for their owner to return home. Clearly, Pudding had accepted Bella as her owner,

By the time Bella arrived at the hospital, she was 15 minutes late. It was one of the rare occasions she was late in all these years. She rushed into the office, only to hear lan's teasing remark

"Look who's here! You're Lare!"

Bella had no defense for that.

that, so she helplessly shrugged. Then, she reached into her bag and pulled out a scarf to the around her neck tanclucked his tongue. "Wow, those are some serious hickeys you got. He was really ruthless, huh? Your slin's so pale that t been quite a fight in bed last night." they're impossible to miss, Must have

Bella shot him a half-hearted glare. "What hickeys? You're.. Ugh, never mind. Go cool off somewhere, you unprofessional doctor. "

lan chuckled, but then his tone suddenly shitted and turned serious. "Amber is trying to fome Dominic to leave the country with her. Regardless of the excuses the's using, she's not going to let him return so easily."
