BossNovelChapter 409
The smile on Vespera's face dropped. Everything she had been bottling up these past few days exploded with
just a few words from Dominic. It felt like a ball of negative energy had been hurled straight into her chest. It tore
through her bloodstream and surged to her head.
She snapped, "You toldto have fun, so | wished the sfor you. What's wrong with that? Do | even get a
say in who you want to be with and what you want to do? Dominic, haven't | tried hard to cooperate? Haven't |
been understanding and polite?"
And now, Dominic was the one playing victim? What right did he have to feel wronged?
Dominic looked at how angry Vespera was, and a sharp pain twisted in his chest.
He said nothing at first and just stood there in silence. Finally, he let out a soft sigh and said, "It's my fault that
I've upset you. | haven't been able to make you happy at all during this trip. I'm sorry that | failed to make you
feel secure. | didn't do enough."
Vespera's breath hitched. The anger she had been holding onto suddenly felt misplaced.
Weren't they arguing? Vespera tried to gauge Dominic's gaze, but he avoided her gaze, letting his bangs fall and
casting a shadow over his face.
Dominic took out his phone and pulled up his call log. He turned the screen toward Vespera and said, "Evelyn is
already engaged. She and her fiancé are good friends of mine. I'm not sure how things got so misinterpreted.
"Maybe I've let my negative emotions cloud your judgment. But whatever the case, don't torture yourself with it
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtanymore. Just be happy, alright? The Vespera | know never lets anything tie her down."
Vespera pursed her lips. She lowered her head and looked down at her handbag. She said in a soft voice, "Thank
you for explaining. | understand now."
Dominic watched the way her long lashes trembled. He took a step closer and asked, "Are you still not happy? Is
it because you feel like you never get a say in anything between us? I'll let you make the decision then. Whether
you want to be my girlfriend or not, I'll leave that entirely up to you."
Vespera's breath caught in her throat, and her eyes burned, tears threatening to spill over. When she looked up
again, Dominic had already turned and headed back to his room.
Vespera stood frozen in the corridor, staring at the closed door. Her thoughts were spinning into a void. She
could make the decision? Since when did Dominic give people choices?
Just then, Gerard walked out of the guest room, looking a bit awkward. It was obvious he had heard the whole
conversation.
Vespera didn't bother pretending otherwise. They walked downstairs together in silence. Gerard kept glancing
over at her, clearly debating whether or not to say something. Finally, he blurted out, "Vespera, about Mr. Reid..."
"What about him?" Vespera asked absentmindedly.
"He..." Gerard hesitated. Seeing how unconcerned Vespera looked, he swallowed his words and changed them.
He said, "It's nothing. If you truly aren't that into him, you don't have to force yourself, you know?"
Not that into Dominic? Was that how it looked from the outside? Like it was just a small crush that they could
both walk away from?
Vespera asked herself these questions. Suddenly, her foot missed a step.
"Watch out!" Gerard shouted and reached out to catch Vespera.
Gerard looked at Vespera, even more confused now. Just a few nights ago, hadn't she said all those ruthless
things? Dominic had been standing right outside the door when it happened.
Gerard still didn't know exactly when Dominic had arrived, but anyone who heard what Vespera said that night
would have been devastated.
