"I thought he'd be swamped with work once he had to inherit his family's business, so I decided to take this opportunity to distance myself from him slowly.
"Who knew that he would confess just because Zion is his cousin? Hence, I can't back down now. If it were anyone else, I would not be able to do anything, and I would have to succumb to his wishes. "More importantly, I really do feel that Zion is the one for me." Bella could not interfere much as it was a matter of Lia's personal affairs. The most she could do was give Lia sadvice. She only hoped that Lia had made the right choice and would be able to live happily with Zion.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtA few days later, Dominic returned from his business trip and sent Bella a photo of a crib she had sent to him before.
He had not only bought the crib but also placed it in his home. He probably thought that her place was too small for it.
Suddenly, Bella felt an inexplicable sense of fear. She wondered if Dominic was planning to raise their child in the Miller Manor once it was born.
It was only then that she realized that she did not even own a house, as her current place had been rented to her. She questioned how Dominic could possibly allow her to raise their child when she didn't even own a place of her own. She did not reply to Dominic's message. She was so frustrated that she skipped lunch entirely.
In the afternoon, Cara pushed open the door to Bella's bedroom. She seemed to be talking to someone on the phone.
"Ms. Jones is currently resting. She doesn't seem to have a good appetite today as she skipped lunch." Bella felt her brain go blank. She hired Cara, but once Dominic took over paying her salary, Cara seemed to shift her allegiance to him.
Whenever Dominic wanted to know what she was doing, he could call Cara and find out everything he wanted to know.
Once Cara ended the call, she said excitedly, "Mr. Miller says that he'll drop by in a while." Bella said unhappily, "You don't have to report whatever I'm doing to him in the future." Cara immediately fell silent. She had thought that everything was fine moments ago. She couldn't understand why Bella suddenly...

He walked over to her bedside and gently asked, "Do you not have an appetite? You should order whatever you feel like eating. You shouldn't let yourself go hungry." Bella looked at him, frowning. "Will you try and take my child away from me? You don't lack anything. You'll still have a child once you get married, but I don't have anything else other than this child..." Dominic suppressed his annoyance and asked, "Is this what you're starving yourself over? You really do have too much ton your hands.
"The baby is currently in your belly So even if I wanted to take the baby from you, I wouldn't be able to do so. Now, why don't you get up and eat something, or I'll—" Before he could finish his sentence, Bella shot up and said, "Why don't you accompanyout to eat? I want to eat Clantonian food." Dominic agreed without hesitation. As they were about to leave, he noticed how thin her clothes were. So, he insisted that she wore a thicker jacket.
Soon, they arrived at a fancy Clantonian Restaurant, and Bella ordered a few of her favorite dishes. Once she was done, she turned to way of hex look at him worriedly. His expression was cold and indifferent, and she could not tell what he was thinking.
From the moment they sat at their table, he was glued to his phonem leaving Bella unable to start a conversation. Nervously, she began picking at her nails.
Suddenly, he looked at her and said, "Have you not corrected your habit of picking on your nails? Just say what you want to say. I'm tough and can handle frustrating you for a few more years." Bella was at a loss for words. When she didn't say anything, Dominic finally set his phone down and looked at her.
"Your worry is unwarranted. But if you're terrified that I'll take the baby away, you can always just get back together with me."
