Alexander drove to Dominic’s place that night.
As if knowing he would come, the older man had prepared a pot of tea and some dishes.
He smiled upon seeing Alexander, saying, “I’ve been waiting for you.” “How did you—” “You must've come to ask about the invisible woman, huh?” Dominic cut to the chase.
Alexander chuckled.
“Didn't you say it’s nothing but horseshit?” Dominic laughed heartily.
“Yes, it’s horseshit indeed! Still, I knew you’d come and ask about it in person.
I just didn’t expect you to come this soon.
How about we talk over dinner?” He poured Alexander a cup of tea and filled his own glass with wine.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAlexander nodded.
“Sure!” He glanced around and asked, “Where’s Galen?” “He is playing in the back.
I didn’t tell him you’d be coming, just in case you didn’t.
I don't want to disappoint him.” The older man was considerate.
Alexander felt bad knowing Galen must have missed him and Lily.
“T heard the twins have returned, huh?” Dominic asked after sipping his wine.
Alexander nodded.
“Yes, they have!” He was not surprised that Dominic knew because he knew Austin must have told him.
“That’s excellent news!” Dominic nodded, “I’m sure Lily will be next.” “I've failed her.” Alexander finished
his tea in one gulp.
He could not drink alcohol to drown his sorrow since he drove here alone.
Dominic said without trying to console him, “Yes, you have.
As her husband, you should ensure her safety.
Even if she’s strong enough to look after herself, there’s no point in marrying you if you can’t care for
her, right?” “You’re right.” Alexander lowered his head, agreeing with the older man.
Dominic lifted his glass and said, “I’m not trying to tell you off but to state a fact.
Of course, I know what Lily’s like.
She’s stubborn as a mule, and you can’t change her mind once she has decided something.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmI guess you two haven't prepared yourselves for this shit.” Alexander knew that was something Dominic
had wanted to say for quite some time.
“Whoever created those viruses is a disgrace to the medical profession!” the older man scolded angrily.
Then, he tried to console himself, “Well, they aren’t the first to have done horrible things like that.
Also, invisibility is total bullshit.
Not everything we see in movies can happen in real life.
Everything should adhere to laws of nature, and invisibility doesn’t.” Alexander did not interrupt since Dominic spoke enthusiastically.
“That’s why I said it was impossible when Austin told me about it,” Dominic kept drinking as he spoke, “So, have you found the so -called invisible woman?” Alexander shook his head.
“Not yet.” “She must be hiding then.
When you do, tell me,” the older man said, “I'd like to see what an invisible woman looks like.”
