Love the Second Time Around

Chapter 114 It Is Only Acting

Seeing that Dominic remained silent and looked somewhat gloomy, I could not help grumbling inwardly.

I waited for a little while, but he still did not say anything. “Dominic, did you hear what I said?”

When Dominic looked at me, it seemed as if there was a smoldering glint in his dark eyes.

Huh? I was stunned for a moment, wondering what I had done to anger him.

“Let’s go back out,” he finally said.

I breathed a sigh of relief, thankful that he did not object to my request. As such, I would take it that we had a verbal agreement.

Yes, we should go back out. We’ve been in the room for almost twenty minutes.

The moment I placed one hand on the doorknob, he took my other hand.

I froze, then decided to let him hold my hand. Holding hands was still within the acceptable range of actions.

I opened the door and said with a bright smile, “Dad, Mom.”

Dad looked at me sternly and said, “I almost thought that you weren’t planning on coming back out.”

I chuckled. “I’m sorry, it’s my fault. Dominic and I are indeed back together, but I didn’t mean to keep it from you. We just got back together not too long ago, so I wanted to wait until things are a little more stable before telling you.”
