Chapter 275 Warmth
The other end of the line was silent. Della was a little nervous but quickly collected her thoughts before asking, “Where are you? Dominic’s harsh voice quickly pierced the silence. “Do you need something?” It wasn’t an answer but a question in return.
His response left her speechless, and her mind went blank as she didn’t low what to say.
After a long pause without getting an answer, he hung up the phone.
Suddenly, Bella had the urge to cry. She suppressed her emotions and told herself repeatedly that everything was fine because he had always been that way. She couldn’t let the brief moments of his kindness blind her from seeing who he was before.
However, it was hard for her to accept his cold attitude after seeing his warm side.
She spent the whole day processing the situation before eventually accepting it. Although it was still painful to think about it, she tried not to linger on it. When she returned to Miller Manor that night, she saw Dominie playing with Pudding in the courtyard. As usual, he wore a smart black suit and matching coat. The color black had always been dull, yet on him, it was mesmerizing
Bella walked inside the house, informed Sylvia she wouldn’t be having dinner, and proceeded to her room to continue knitting the scarf.
She still needed to finish the scarf, but what had once been a gift of anticipation had now become something for herself.
In the courtyard, Sylvia approached Dominic and asked, “Mr. Miller, Ms. Jones said she won’t be eating dinner. When should I serve the food?”
Dominic’s face was expressionless as he said coldly, “I don’t care if she wants to eat or not. Serve dinner now.”
Sylvia wanted to persuade him, but she didn’t dare to say anything more because of how furious he was. After all, she had no control over their matters.
Exhausted from knitting, Bella rose up to stretch before walking to the window. Loolding outside, she saw Dominic seated on a chair in the chilly courtyard. Snowflalors were falling, and he had been there for a while since his shoulders and hair were lightly dusted with snow.
She couldn’t overlook his black–cad form in the snowy scenery. But she didn’t let her gaze linger and swiftly closed the window before returning to bed. She didn’t know why he was sitting outside in the snow and not hanging out with that other woman,
By midnight, he was no longer there when she glanced at the spot.
They didn’t see each other for the next few days. Dominic either came home late or didn’t return at all. He even asked his bodyguards to take Pudding for walks.
The despair that Bella initially felt faded gradually, leaving her numb. Only when she saw new gossip about Dominic and that woman would her sadness return for a while.
As things continued, the bored media believed Domine had already broken up with her. Bella wished they had split up because it would be a relief. But they hadn’t, which was what bothered her the most.
That weekend, Lia moved into her new studio. Since Bella had nothing better to do, she brought her knitting supplies over to pass th
pass the time
The studio’s renovation turned out well
When she arrived, Bella found a spot to sit and began kutting her scarf. When Lia saw this, she assumed Bella was still hang up on Dominic and couldn’t help but feel sorry for her friend.
“Why are you still knitting it? Stop it already. He’s close to bringing that woman home!”
