Love the Second Time Around

Chapter 113 Back Together Again

“Dad, Mom, you… What are you doing here?” I was so surprised that I could barely get the words out.

I had barely recovered from the shock of seeing them when his words threw me for a loop.

What am I keeping from them?

At that moment, Dominic got up from the couch and walked over to me, then took my hand.

I moved away instinctively. What on earth is he doing? Can’t he see that Mom and Dad are right there? It’s already very odd that he showed up here suddenly and answered my phone, but now he wants to hold my hand? Doesn’t he think this is big enough of a mess as it is?

I widened my eyes and glared at Dominic, shooting him a look to warn him not to do something reckless.

However, he acted as if he did not get my hint at all. He gripped my hand tightly and said something that made me even more dumbfounded.

“Lian, I’ve already told them the truth. With things the way they are, we shouldn’t keep it from them any longer,” Dominic said.

I looked at him suspiciously, worried that he was about to get up to no good.

He’s been calling me by my full name since we met again, and if he’s not calling my name to scold me, then it’s to threaten me. Lian—that’s the affectionate nickname the old Dominic would use. Also, what does he mean when he said he told them the truth? What shouldn’t we keep from them? That’s so strange. What do we have to hide from them anyway?

“Lili, why don’t you just admit it? Your dad and I won’t object to it. We’re happy and relieved to hear that the two of you got back together.”
