The Daring Billionaire’s Wife

Chapter 103

Dominic

It might be because of my father-in-law's long trip. I can't really tell, but he actually looks exhausted while slowly approaching me with his assistant next to him.

As we meet in the middle and I get a closer look at him, he looks different from when he left. His skin almost seems a little pale and his face looks a little slimmer. He smiles at me, holding out his arms after stepping away from her.

"Thank you for coming, my son."

I gently pat him on the back as we embrace each other, glancing at his assistant, who just stands by with a half smile.

As soon as we break the hug, he looks over at her and says, "I'll be going home with him."

"As you wish, Sir. Please take care of yourself," she says.

"Of course I will. Shall we go?" he says to me with a smile.

Nodding, I lead the way, trying not to think too much of it but it gets so difficult that I can't help it.

"You really look exhausted. Have you been getting enough sleep and eating well? You seem to have lost some weight."

He sighs. "To be honest, no. I had so much to do."

"Which means you lied to us when you said you were taking care of yourself."

"I didn't want anyone to worry about me."

"That could explain why you look different."

"Is it that obvious?" He tilts his head.

"Of course it is. I was actually shocked when I saw you. Did you even eat before getting on that flight?"

He bursts into laughter. "Enough about me. I hope you still didn't tell my daughter about this."

"Not at all. I wouldn't want to ruin the surprise."

During the ride, he enthusiastically talks about all the investors he came in contact with and I'm actually impressed that he did so much work in just two weeks.
