Love the Second Time Around

Chapter 33 Enduring It

Livid, Dominic’s face turned into a stony grey.

After a while, he let out a skin-deep smile and asserted, “You’re right, it’s none of my business. However, it’s important for me to remind you not to bring back any diseases.”

F*ck you! You’re the one who’s sick. Your whole family is sick!

I’m not surprised if Dominic has been taking classes these few years to master spewing hurtful words without cursing. Everything that comes out from his mouth gets on my nerves!

Refusing to be verbally abused by him, I turned away and strode toward my room.

“Where are you going? Hurry up and cook. I’m hungry,” he uttered indifferently.

I rebutted without looking back at him, “Please go ahead and request for someone who’s staying in the pink of health to cook for you.”

Does he expect me to prepare dinner for him after insulting me? Hah! Dream on!

“Fine. Since you no longer want to play your role as the caregiver, you can pack up your bags and leave my house right now.”

Provoked, I turned around. “Sure! Do you really think that I love being here?”

Is that a threat? I’ve been wanting to escape since day one. It’s never my will to stay.

Casually, he continued, “Before you go, let’s settle our scores one by one. First, call up Galaxy Corporation and inform that the author refuses to sell the copyright.”

I was dumbfounded. Wait, isn’t this tantamount to breach of contract?

Gah! I should have known better. He’s definitely not the kindhearted type who will let me go so easily. Upon hearing his first statement, it already made my knees weak.

As if that was not enough, he was urging me to do as he had ordered, “Time is ticking… So you’d better pick up the phone and call them now. Then, we shall continue with other items.”

Taking a deep breath, I forced myself to hold it together. I must endure this.

“Mr. Hartnell, please tell me what you would like to have for dinner, and I’ll cook for you right away.” I had to pinch myself when saying so.

Seeing that I caved in, he smirked wickedly. “Why? Have you decided not to leave anymore?” That man knew how to push my buttons.
