NovelEnglishChapter 480
"Vespera!" Luke shouted through clenched teeth.
"Shut up! Don't start with your crazy talk again. Quit running your mouth with nonsense," snapped Vespera,
stopping Luke before he said those humiliating words.
If Luke blurted out that Vespera was pregnant again, Dominic might actually believe the medicine hadn't worked
and insist on taking her for a pregnancy test himself.
Dominic frowned. He hadn't expected the person Vespera was avoiding to be Luke. Hadn't Luke been quiet for a
while? Why was he suddenly back, acting this way again? What had triggered him this time?
Luke stared at Vespera for a long moment, then snorted and said, "I understand now."
Since Vespera didn't want him to speak, it meant that she didn't want Dominic to know about the baby. She
clearly hadn't decided to keep it. At least, she still had a shred of rationality.
Dominic grew more suspicious. What had Luke understood? What kind of riddle was this?
Dominic looked at Vespera, and she immediately started shaking her head. She had no idea what Luke
understood either.
Luke sneered again. Then, his voice and expression softened as he said, "Vespera, stop hiding from me. | didn't
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtchere for anything personal. It's about the company project you led. There are sissues, and | cto
ask you about them."
Vespera couldn't care less about Luke's sudden shift in tone. Nevertheless, she played along and replied, "I
already left Eclipse Group. | completed all my handovers before | left. Whatever happens with that project now
has nothing to do with me. You should talk to the new manager of the project department."
"But the client only trusts you," responded Luke.
Vespera apologized, saying, "I'm sorry. It isn't my responsibility anymore."
"We were married once. Do you have to be this cold? Even if you don't care about me, at least consider how
much effort you poured into that project," said Luke."
"I really can't help you," replied Vespera.
The shift in atmosphere was way too abrupt. How did it go from shouting to discussing work?
Dominic grew more doubtful. He slipped an arm around Vespera's waist and pulled her into the elevator,
pressing the button for the penthouse.
He shot Luke a cold glance as he said, "Mr. Munoz, it's late. Go hand get srest Hogging t the elevator
like a stalker will only scare the neighbors, and you'll probably get reported." s
Luke questioned, "Who would dare to report me?"
Dominic said, "I would."
Luke was at a loss for words.
Dominic tilted his chin toward the buttons and said, "We've reached the tenth floor. Are you not going to press
anything? Do you want to chwith me, too?"
The last word was enough to make Luke choke on his own resentment. Still, it was clear he had started to accept
the reality of his marriage being over At least it was enough. for him to stop acting completely unhinged. s
He pressed his finger against the fingerprint reader. Although his face was still a thundercloud, he didn't do
anything more.
Vespera's nerves finally relaxed.
When the elevator reached the 15th floor, Dominic suddenly turned to Luke and asked, "Mr. Munoz, has Mrs.
Locke asked you to keep looking after her daughter recently?"
Luke's expression tightened. With an indifferent tone, he answered, "No, | haven't seen either of them lately."
"I see," said Dominic with a nod. He didn't ask further questions.
When they reached the 20th floor, Luke stepped out. The moment he stepped out, he turned around and stuck
his foot between the doors to keep them from closing. He looked at Vespera and said, think about what | said. I'll
be staying here for a while. If you change your mind, cand find me." s
Without hesitation, Vespera replied, "Alright."
