Chapter 459
Vespera lunged forward, pressing both hands against Dominic's chest. With fear in her eyes, she shouted, "Don't
you dare do anything stupid!"
Just then, the bedroom door burst open. Rebecca called out, "Vera, wake..."
She strolled in with carefree steps. The moment her eyes landed on the scene inside, her eyes widened, and she
stopped dead in her tracks.
What Rebecca saw could only be described as explosive. Vespera, who was usually cool and composed, was now
straddling Dominic with both hands planted on his chest.
Vespera had barely recovered from the earlier chaos when Rebecca's surprise entrance shocked her. Both
Vespera and Dominic looked toward the door in unison. All three of their gazes met, and silence fell.
"Becca." Someone else called out from outside.
Rebecca reacted quickly and stepped back before shutting the door with a bang. Outside, Wanda, who was
already halfway there, was startled.

Rebecca lied without a change of expression, "Vera has already left for work."
Wanda raised an eyebrow and asked, "Did she? Why's her car still in the garage then?"
Rebecca nervously chuckled and said, "Maybe she didn't feel like driving today and took a cab."
Wanda glanced at the bedroom door, which had just been shut with suspicious urgency. A flicker of doubt
crossed her face, but she didn't push it. Instead, she said, "That's possible. Let's have breakfast then."
As Wanda turned to leave, she let out a soft sigh. Back at the door, Rebecca ran a hand through her hair. She
pulled out her phone and sent Vespera a message, saying, "I did my best, but | think your mom has guessed it."
Inside the bedroom, Vespera saw the message and let her hands fall to her side like all the strength had drained
out of her. What should she do?
Dominic saw that Vespera was frowning and said, "Don't worry. I'll go out and talk to her. When she has calmed
down, you can cout."
Upon hearing that, Vespera panicked even more. She said, "No! You absolutely can't go out there!"
If Dominic walked out right now, things would go from bad to catastrophic. It would be irreversible.
Dominic's eyes darkened. And in that moment, he got it. It wasn't that Vespera couldn't cclean about them.
She just didn't want to. To her, he was just a fling. It wasn't a serious relationship.
"What if your parents find out and cto talk to me?" Dominic asked.
Vespera replied, "They won't find you."
Dominic repeated, "What if they do?"
Annoyed, Vespera snapped as her voice rose, "Why are you obsessing over hypotheticals? | told you they Won't
My mom is leaving soon. Il head htonight and cup with sexcuse. I'll handle it. You don't have to
get involved. s
Right now, Vespera didn't sound like a girlfriend. She sounded like a heartless
player trying to ditch a naive man.
Vespera was trying to determine if
Wanda haddeft when Dominic suddenly cupped her face and
turned it toward him. His expression was dark as he said, Vera, when are you going to make our relationship
official?" s
Vespera was bewildered. She asked, "Didn't you say I didn't have to take responsibility?"
Dominic questioned, "So, your plan was just to useand tossaside?"
Vespera responded, "That isn't what | meant. Why are we even having this conversation now? And please keep
your voice down!"
In a panic, Vespera covered Dominic's mouth. What was wrong with him today?
Outside, Wanda sat at the dining table and took a few bites of food. Meanwhite, Rebecca kept her head down
and ate without saying a word. Because it was silent, they could hear the commotion from the bedroom. s
Snowball, which had been circling below the table upon smelling food, suddenly ran toward the bedroom and
scratched the door. Then, it sat down and let out a soft meow.
Rebecca forced a laugh and muttered, "This cat sure is playful, huh?"
Wanda didn't smile at all. At this time, Raymond knocked on the door with breakfast.
