they had just been discarded there. The cold air around hadn't yet affected their color. Aimost as if on impulse,
she crouched down to search for a card that usually accompanied such bouquets, but there was none. It seemed
someone had deliberately removed it. Felix approached and asked, "What's wrong?"
Bella stood up, shaking her head. "Nothing. There's a bouquet of flowers here. I'm not sure who left it."
Puzzled, Felix glanced around. "Weird. Why would they throw the flowers at my doorstep? Forget about it. Let's

When she arrived at the gate, she noticed Dominic's car parked there. It wasn't in the garage, suggesting he had
just returned
She hadn't expected him to cback from his overseas trip so soon. Overwhelmed with joy, she walked to his
car and glanced inside. He wasn't there, so he must have gone inside.
As she was about to enter, her eyes caught sight of a card on the driver's seat. She had excellent vision, and it
didn't take much effort to read the words.
It read, "Merry Christmas", and was signed off by Dominic
The card was elegantly designed, with the border pattern marked with the store's name-Bloom Haven Flocals.
Bella's thoughts immediately went to the bouquet at Felix's door, and her heart sank
Nervously, she entered the house.
Dominic was sitting on the couch in the living room, sipping coffee. His suit was crisp, and Pudding lay obediently

Bella tried to maintain her composure and pushed down the fear she felt at his anger. "It's not what you think.
There's nothing between us, Can you not get so worked up? | wouldn't have stayed over unless it was an
emergency." Perhaps her blunt mention of spending the night at Felix's house set him off entirely.
Dominic stepped forward and grabbed her by the chin. His eyes were filled with contempt. "You're in the wrong,

He delivered another blow. "Did | say something wrong? If | had known you were this filthy, | would've never
