The Daring Billionaire’s Wife
Chapter 120
Dominic
Not once in my life have I ever missed out on such an important investor and I would have never thought that I would find myself in such a situation.
Despite my entire body facing the door because I want to leave, I can't seem to turn my neck and face the exit as I keep looking at Vanessa, who curls up even more.
I clench my jaw with a sigh, take out my phone, send a message, then turn it off and close the door behind me.
I don't even question whether I've made the right decision or not as I approach the bed. It seems my will to stay is just that much stronger.
I take off my shoes and slowly get on top, aligning myself on my side right behind her.
Placing my hand on her trembling shoulder, I quietly say, "Come here."
She instantly turns to face me, once again burying her facing my chest. Judging by how she clings to me, she needs me right now.
Her tears soak part of my shirt in only a few seconds but right now, that doesn't even matter.
"I don't want to lose him!" She sniffles.
"I know," I say to her, wondering what else to say but I have nothing. Instead I keep rubbing her back, resting my chin right on top of her head.
It takes a long time for her to stop crying and for as long as he does, she doesn't let go of me, just as I don't let go of her. I even lose track of time as I don't check my wristwatch. My hold on her trembling body is fixed, leaving it up to her to get away from me when she no longer wants to cry in my arms.
A few hours after comforting her, she stops crying and falls asleep right in my arms. I give it some more time just so I don't wake her up and when I'm certain that she won't, I gently let her go, placing her head on the pillow.
After I get off the bed, I put on my shoes and gently close the door behind me to go back downstairs. I don't even bother turning on my phone since I'm certain of how much the potential investor is probably lashing out at me for canceling on him at the last moment.
Even though I come downstairs to be alone and process everything I've witnessed this evening, I find my father-in-law in the same seat that I left him in a few hours ago.
"You're still awake," I say to him as I approach. "It's almost midnight."
"I don't think I can sleep tonight," he says with sadness. "How's my daughter doing?"
