Love the Second Time Around

Chapter 139 If He Bought It For Me

“Dominic, Liliana… are you two back together?”

My first instinct was to break free of Dominic’s hold, but he refused to let go of my hand.

What the hell? Does he not know that we should avoid causing misunderstandings?

Everyone saw that he and Camille were together when we were at the class reunion. Heck, we even got into a fight at the time.

Given our past, everyone would make terrible assumptions!

I grinned awkwardly and scanned around before replying, “What a coincidence. Are you here to buy some stuff too?”

Everyone was an adult who had worked a couple of years, so we were all political and adhered to the social rules. I could tell that Vicky was still curious, but she was quick to hide it away. She even rolled along and continued the conversation and topic I started.

We were all busy, so we didn’t chat for long.

Vicky later waved at me and claimed, “Let’s hang out and have a meal together some time. Oh, and if you two ever get married, remember to inform me of the wedding date beforehand. We can get all our classmates over and make it a grand party.”

I wasn’t sure if Vicky was being genuine, so I didn’t give her a clear response. After that, I dragged Dominic away.

I turned to Dominic when Vicky was no longer within our line of sight. Frustrated, I complained, “Why didn’t you let go of my hand earlier? What will you do if she bulls*ts to others?”

“You might think that it was timely, but she saw us holding hands ages ago,” replied Dominic nonchalantly.

Okay, you’re right about that, but we should’ve still let go!

“Okay, so you’re a brave dude with zero fears, but I am warning you right now! Deal with your mom and Camille accordingly and don’t let them come after me.”
