Chapter 43


    Judy came out of the house holding a cream-colored tote bag. She was shocked as she saw rk


    and Dominic looking toward her.


    Judy purposefully left the houseter to avoid rk and Dominic. But what were the odds of


    meeting them both at the same time?


    "Good morning, Juju!" Dominic greeted Judy over rk, who stood between them.


    Judy subconsciously smiled toward Dominic, but her eyes saw rk''s cold stare, causing her smile


    to quickly faded.


    Instead, she nodded lightly and stood by the door awkwardly.


    "Come, I''ll send you to the hospital," Dominic said. His voice was warm and kind, like the morning


    sunshine.


    "No need to trouble you. I''m going to the office. I can send Judy along the way," rk said. His cold


    voice weirdly made the warm morning chilly.

    Judy went poker-faced.


    "Juju..." Dominic looked with concerned eyes.


    Judy avoided Dominic''s eyes, held her tote bag tightly, and slowly walked toward rk''s car under


    thetter''s frightening gaze.


    rk did not say a word from start to finish.


    Dominic looked at Judy entering the car and felt dejected.


    rk walked past Dominic and ced his hand on Dominic''s shoulder. He said coldly, "You should


    call her Mrs. Reid."


    Dominic was startled slightly.


    rk''s car drove out the front gate of the manor. The courtyard felt oddly chilling despite it being


    midsummer.


    Judy felt increasingly guilty as she saw Dominic''s figure slowly disappear from the rearview mirror.


    "What''s wrong? Are you that unwilling to sit in my car?" rk asked. His emotionless voice startled


    Judy, and she quickly shook her head to deny it.


    "Are you disappointed because you''re not in Dominic''s car then?" rk asked again.


    Judy again shook her head and wrote. "No, I don''t want to sit in his car. Even if I''m not sitting in your


    car right now, I wouldn''t go with him."


    "Is that so?" rk questioned.


    "Aunt Sally doesn''t like me getting too close with Dominic. I will keep my distance with him," Judy


    wrote.


    Judy had learned the hard way to survive living with rk. She needed to take the initiative and


    exin herself. That way, she could avoid any unnecessary misunderstanding.


    rk humped and replied, "That''s thoughtful of you."


    Sally had always thought highly of Dominic''s marriage. She would not ept ordinary women, not


    to mention someone like Judy.


    rk nced at Judy before looking out the window and said, "Stay away from Dominic. Don''t


    bring trouble to yourself."


    Judy nodded in acknowledgment.


    rk was bored by Judy''s dull expression, so he leaned back and closed his eyes to rest.


    The scenery outside the window quickly moved past them.


    The car remained silent, and Judy''s heart soon calmed down following a steady breathing from


    rk seated next to her.


    Judy timidly turned toward rk. The scar on his face looked terrifying usually, but now that he was


    asleep, it was strangely shallow.


    Judy observed for some time until she noticed Sebastian, the chauffeur, was looking through the


    rearview mirror and was shocked.


    She quickly bent over and tried to hide the awkwardness by picking up her tote bag, which fell


    underneath the seats. But as she picked up her tote bag, her arm was grabbed by a big hand.


    Judy was staggered. She thought rk had woken up, but she looked up and saw his eyes were


    still closed.


    Cold sweats rolled down his forehead along the scar. It seemed like rk was having a nightmare.


    A nightmare could even haunt a powerful, serious man like him. Judy couldn''t help but care for him


    a little.


    After regaining herposure, Judy tried to withdraw her hand carefully.


    "Sapphire," rk muttered and shot open his eyes. His sharp gaze was like a pair of cold knives


    stabbing into Judy''s soul, sending a shiver down her spine, almost taking her breath away.
