Love the Second Time Around
Chapter 142
Chapter 142 Childhood Memory
I felt that Nicholas was now a taboo to Dominic. The man became irritated whenever someone mentioned Nicholas, even if it wasn’t me.
Unwilling to get into trouble, I quickly explained, “Rachelle, that news can’t be trusted. I’ve even brought him home to celebrate Grandpa’s birthday. Isn’t this obvious enough?”
“Haha! No wonder you don’t want me to introduce some men to you. You’ve found a boyfriend. Lili, since everyone is around, why don’t you introduce him to us?”
I let out a laugh. “There’s nothing much to say. His name is Dominic Hartnell, and he’s a businessman.”
My words piqued Aunt Gianna’s interest right away. “A businessman? Does he own a company? That’s great. He’s much better than the useless Julius, who only works for others. What kind of business is Mr. Hartnell doing? Maybe we can collaborate in the future. Honey, please get our business card,” Aunt Gianna asked while calling her husband to come over.
The first time I brought Julius home, she asked the same questions as well. After knowing he was only an average sales director, she treated him with disdain.
Despite knowing that they wouldn’t look down on Dominic if I revealed his family background, I refused to let the couple know more about him.
Like all businessmen, they often carried a guileful and materialistic aura. If they ever found out about Dominic’s prominent identity, they might do something outrageous.
My relationship with Dominic was complicated enough. I wanted nothing else to meddle in our affairs.
Aunt Gianna’s husband handed his business card to Dominic with a flattering grin. Before he could open his mouth or make his next move, I interrupted them. “Uncle, Dominic owns only a small business, so he doesn’t have any business card. If you and Aunt Gianna are interested, he can tell you more about his company after dinner.”
Sure enough, my words wiped the smiles off Aunt Gianna’s and her husband’s faces. After mumbling a few words, they brushed me off and stopped bothering me.
“Okay, okay, you two have asked too many questions. Why do you keep talking about that rascal? You’re rubbing salt into the wound.” My grandfather wasn’t happy that Aunt Gianna brought Julius up.
