Leonard nodded. "It's all thanks to you, otherwise, we don't know what might've happened. My mom wants to invite you over for dinner tonight, and you can't refuse!"

Bella couldn't shake the feeling that something was off about the way he was talking that day. He was acting much more formal than usual. Since they were all familiar with each other, there was no need for him to be so conrenced about his image.

Bella glanced over at La, who was happily munching on chips beside her, and it dawned on her that Lead was probably just being more reserved because he didn't know Lia well I made sense that he'd be a bit more formal around strangers. Bella thought about the necklace the Sawyers had ghen her last time and went back to her room to retrieve it.

Dominic's expression changed slightly. He rose from his seat and said, "I'm going to grab some files from my study ribe right back, Lennard"

Leonard nodded stiffly before looking at Bella. "I would never take back a gift that I've given someone. My mom thinks you more than deserving of, so you should keep it. I have to go out with Domine later I just wanted to let you know about the dinner." Bella was still hesitating when is accepted iron her behalf. "Come on, they aren't short on cash, just take it. If you keep turning it down, it'll make this expensive gift seem worthless"

With that, she flashed a smile at Leonard.

Heckered his throat "go check on Dominic Pine carry on withoutine

After he went upstairs, Bella grumbled, "Are you out of your mind, El? This necklace was a thank-you gün from his family after operated on his dad. I'm a doctor, Ican't accept gits bom my patients!"

Lis shrugged. "But they insisted on giving it to you! So, you might as well take it! if you don't want it, you can sell it. II's worth a few thousand dollars, you know? Don't judge me, I'm just someone who loves nonry."

Before long, Dominic and Leonard came downsters. Before having, Dominic teld Bella, I'll pick you up later. Make sure you're ready, Don't keep me waiting" Bellanodded. "Gotic"

After finishing her chips, La clapped her hands. "I need to get back to the shop. I'll visit you again soon. It looks like you and Fells aren't going to work out.

"Dominic doesn't love you, yet he won't let you go, which is really confusing all the tails, maybe you could try dominating him in bed. He's handsome, so it shouldn't be too hard

"That's not going to happen! Just get out of here I don't need your help," Della said, smiling slightly,

Dominic's car rolled to Miller Manor just as the clock struck tie Bella had been ready for awhile, booking effortlessly chic in a simple tee and denimeulot's that highlighted her long, lean legs.

As soon as she reached the car, Dominic rolled down the window and said, "Go change into a different pair of pants.

Bella looked up at the sun, which was still blazing as I began to set "Are you kidding me? I'm not out to pass out from heatstroke! You had a problem

with my dress last time, and now you're criticizing me for showing my legs? My legs are perfectly fine, and they definitely won't be the subject of ridicule!"
