The Daring Billionaire’s Wife

Chapter 65

Chapter 65

Vanessa

After constantly thinking about Dominic’s break–up, I only managed to fall asleep around 4 a.m. and now, I’m paying the price for it as I feel like I didn’t rest enough. It’s even obvious from my eyes. But these signs of tiredness still won’t get in the way because I’ll use makeup to cover it all up. I can’t afford to look like a mess.

I’m supposed to meet Sophie at 12 p.m. so I can try on the diamond necklaces before they launch. I know that even if I don’t give her my opinion, she’ll still be launching them anyway, but actually want to do this. I was honored that she asked. Knowing her fashion sense and just how influential she is in the beauty industry, I’m certain all the pieces look great.

Just so I’m ready in advance, I decide to take a shower but before I can even go in, I finally hear from Dominic when he calls. I feel like I’m making it too obvious that I’m so relieved he’s finally gotten in touch with me, and even when I ask where he is, it leaves me feeling a little embarrassed. I’m just glad he’s okay

Right after my call with him, I step into the shower, the same image of him watching my bare chest flashing in my mind once I’m done and stand in the doorway. I wonder if that’ll ever go away. But unlike before, it doesn’t bother me as much.

Just as I reach for another towel for my wet hair, I receive another call and it’s from a number I don’t recognize. My first thought is that it’s Carmella and it’s only because Dominic subtly hinted at the situation with her. But on second thought, it can’t be. I already blocked her, so with that in mind, I pick up.

“Hello?

“Good morning, Vanessa. It’s Patrick,” he says from the other end of the line.

“Patrick! I was wondering when I’d hear from you.” My lips curve into a smile.

He chuckles nervously, “I actually wanted to call you right away but thought I’d wait. I didn’t want to seem like I was in a hurry or anything.”

“I’m glad you finally called.”

“I hope your husband doesn’t mind that I’m calling you.”

“Not all,” I say to him, thinking about how I’m free to do whatever I want, just like Dominic is.

“Are you home?” he asks.

“Yes.”

“Is he with you?”

“No, but he’s on his way back.”

Then I guess I should make this quick.” He chuckles nervously again.

“Come on. I’ve already told you that it’s okay.”
