Love the Second Time Around

Chapter 120

 

Chapter 120 This Arrangement Ends With Your Marriage

Everyone’s attention landed on Dominic at that instant, including my dad. They seemed to be holding their breath in anticipation of his reply.

I felt overcome with an inexplicable sense of nervousness, almost reminiscent of my feelings last night.

Things would be a lot less complicated if only my parents were around, instead of a number of my dad’s colleagues in tow.

Dominic told me last night that I had no choice but to stay with him. Even if I had conceded to his request, our relationship was nothing more than a scarlet letter on my head.

I could not let my parents suffer humiliation twice, let alone from the adultery of their daughter, which was undeniably worse than divorce.

 

As these thoughts crossed my head, I tugged on Dominic’s hand, hinting at him to watch his words.

The annoying man grabbed my hand instead and announced, “Good day, everyone. I’m Liliana’s boyfriend, Dominic Hartnell.”

 

I closed my eyes, willing the heavens to strike me dead with lightning.

An array of expressions appeared on the faces of my dad’s colleagues. However, they greeted Dominic affably after his introduction.

A female lecturer even congratulated my dad, though I found her expression rather crude. “Mr. Zanetti, Lili has great taste. This fellow looks like a much better bet than her ex-husband.”

I wanted nothing more than to leave this place. After greeting them, I excused myself on the pretense of buying things and pulled Dominic away with me.

Once we left the lecture hall, I stalked off moodily until I located a bench and sat down.

After stewing in silence for some time, I lifted my forlorn gaze to Dominic.
