The Daring Billionaire’s Wife

Chapter 70

Chapter 70

Dominic

It’s already 7:00 p.m. and I’ve just come back from the hospital, only to find out that Vanessa isn’t yet back. Is she still with Patrick? What could she be doing with him until now!

or one of her

Though I keep telling myself it’s none of my business, there’s actually a part of me that wants to call her or bodyguards to find out where they are now. But I won’t. It shouldn’t matter to me.

Before she left, she assured me that there was nothing going on between them. Still, they just reconnected. Who knows! Maybe sparks were flying between them this afternoon and then they…shit. I shouldn’t even be thinking that far right now, but so what if they ripped off each other’s clothes and she had her first time? They might still be going at it right now. No.

With each passing minute. I grow more restless and it’s infuriating that I can’t stop thinking about this.

Just as I slump back in my seat, I hear the car engine outside, so instantly rise to my feet and hurry to the door. Before I can even get to the door handle, I stop in my tracks with a heavy sigh. Why the hell am I doing this?

Clearing my throat, I return to my seat and look down at my phone, clenching my jaw at what I just did, and without even planning for it.

While scrolling on my phone with no particular interest in anything, the door opens and I can already hear Vanessa’s heels.

“Hey, she says to me from a distance. “Did you go to the hospital

“Yeah, I came back not too long ago I don’t even look up from my phone as she gets closer. “Were you with Patrick this

whole time?”

“What? No.”

She sits on the other couch, making me finally look up at her. The first thing I look at is her hair, which still looks as neat as it did before she left. Her red lips are just as stained as they were this afternoon. Nothing seems off about her dress or any part of her. Checking her out like this makes me want to shake my head. What the hell am I doing right now? Am I that bothered by what could become of her and Patrick?

It’s only when she speaks that I snap out of it.

“There’s something I need to tell you.”

“What is it? Did something happen with Carmella?” I ask

“No, it’s not that.”

“Then what is it?”

“Well it’s… it’s. She clears her throat. “Mia’s visiting any day now.”
