The Daring Billionaire’s Wife
Chapter 118
Vanessa
It was only last evening that Dominic and I were at my father's house, making the announcement about the pregnancy and yet, he called me a few minutes after Dominic left my bedroom, saying he wanted to see both of us today.
Though it's already 1 p.m., I can't stop thinking about the tone of his voice when he said that. It almost sounded urgent and serious. He didn't even give me a single clue about what he wanted to talk about and it only makes me anticipate this evening so I can go over and find out.
Patrick and I have just ordered lunch and this time, it's a different restaurant.
"I really hope you like this place," he says, sitting across the table from me.
"I like the ambience." I smile at him.
"I really wanted to bring you to something better than all the other places we've been to, because I can afford it now."
"Come on. You should never talk like that."
"But it's the truth." He smiles at me. "I'm doing so much better now. Just look at me. Even you can see it."
I nod, as if trying to be dismissive.
"You don't have to hide it." His smile fades. "I know I looked awful before, but look at me now."
"To be honest, I just didn't want to say it, but you're right. You only get better and handsome. I bet you don't even notice the girls swooning over you."
Though I expect him to say something to that in agreement, he just stares at me with a half smile and the silence only makes me feel a little awkward, so I look away.
"So, are you ready for your match with Dominic?" I ask, glancing at him as I try to ignore the awkwardness.
"I wouldn't call it a match. He's only teaching me how to play."
"If that's what you're expecting, then you're wrong. My husband loves to be competitive, so I'm certain that as soon as you get the hang of it, he's actually going to challenge you to a match right there." "You think so?" He raises an eyebrow.
I chuckle. "Wait and see. Just be ready for that."
Our food arrives only a few minutes later and it all looks so delicious that we both enjoy it.
After the meal, we head over to his apartment and just from the yard, it's better than I expected.
He leads me inside, the bodyguards following right behind us and he keeps looking back at them, as if he has something to say but ends up not saying it.
