The Daring Billionaire’s Wife

Chapter 117

Vanessa

Of all the people who could've called Dominic right now, Mr Westwood wasn't even on my list. Hearing his name only ruins my mood as it's the one thing Dominic and I can't seem to agree on.

His phone keeps ringing and I glance at it, then back at his face as I say, "Will you just let it ring?"

"You say that like you want me to pick up when I know you don't," he says.

"You even know that I don't like Mr Westwood because of his personal life."

"But that has nothing to do with his professional life and he's one of the best in project management."

"I already told you how I feel about this, but you won't listen to me. I should be excited to begin this journey, but I just don't like him."

I look away, pursing my lips.

He sighs. "Fine. He's off the team."

I furrow my eyebrows, looking back at him. "What?"

"Yes, he's off the team." He nods as his phone stops ringing.

"Just like that?"

"Of course."

I suspiciously tilt my head. "You've been against my decision the entire time. Why have you suddenly changed your mind?"

He takes a step forward, shoving his phone in his pocket. "Starting now, I'll give you anything you want. I don't want anything upsetting you."

Hearing this only makes me feel like I'm on top of the world. Pressing my lips together to hide my smile, I nod lightly.

"Fine, he's off my team," I say to him, facing the other side to join everyone else in the dining room.

Without my face showing to him, I smile a little, glad he finally did as I asked. The fact that I didn't expect it has only made it more satisfying for me. "There you are, my dear," my mother-in-law says to me. "What took you so long?"

"Dominic and I had something private to talk about."

"And where is he?"

I look behind me and there's no sign of him.

"He's just on the phone. He should be here soon," I assure her.

She holds my hand, smiling with excitement. "Now I can finally give you that gift!"

"Really?" My face brightens up.

She giggles, placing her fingers over her mouth. "You're going to love it!"

We sit down at the table together and Dominic joins us shortly afterwards.

Then, my father makes a toast to the new life growing inside of me and everyone cheerfully drinks to that.

As everyone has dessert, my father wants to have a word with me, so we excuse ourselves and he brings me to the balcony.

"Words can't even describe my emotions right now," he says with a warm smile. "It feels like yesterday when you were just a little girl and now here you are, about to make me a grandfather. I couldn't have asked for anything better than this."

Though I can't seem to fully understand what his last statement means, it still warms my heart and I wrap my arms around him.
