Chapter 149 What Do You Hope For


    Since Dominic had already made up his mind, there was no need to tell Be. It wasn''t like she could ask him not to go. Amber was right-Be wasn''t suited for him, and nothing coulde of their rtionship. Even if it was just a fleeting dream, Be felt it was enough.


    After a moment, Dominic turned to leave. Suddenly, Be panicked and asked, "Will youe back?"


    Dominic paned but didn''t look back. "What do you hope for?"


    Bell bit her lip. "I wish you a safe journey and hope youe home soon.


    Dominic tumed his head slightly to look at her, a smile tugging at theers of his lips. "Got it."


    Betroze. She felt as though his smile was a brilliant star, lighting up the darkness deep in her heart and chasing away all the negativity that had built up over the past 20 years.


    After closing the door, her heart raced wildly. She no longer cared why he told Frederick that she was his sister. At this moment, all she knew was that she clearly still liked him. It didn''t matter if he didn''t publicly aclmowledge their rtionship anymore.


    The next day, Lia tetumed from her trip abroad and invited Be out for lunch. Summer in Joville was anything but gentle. The whole city felt like it was in an oven Luckily, the restaurant they went to had strong air conditioning. It provided afortable environment that eased the difort caused by the heat.


    As soon as they met, Lia couldn''t wait to show Be a photo of her new boyfriend.


    "Look! Isn''t he handsome? And he''s a pilot! The best part is that he''s not interested in having kids, so we won''t have to worry about that. His name is Marcus Taylor, and I think it sounds nice."


    Be studied the photo seriously. "Yeah, he''s definitely good-looking and stylish. And it he doesn''t want Idds, that''s good for you."


    Lia smiled. "I knew you''d approve! My taste is never wrong."


    Be smiled but didn''t reply. She couldn''t judge a stranger he hadn''t met too deeply. As long as he was good for Lia, that was all that mattered.


    Lia noticed Be''sck of enthusiasm and pouted "Did you and Dominic tight again? You always look like this when you''re upset. It''s so boring!"


    Beshook her head. "No, it really isn''t that this time. I hope you and your boyfriend the the knot quickly. Remember, I want to be your bridesmaid!" Lia beamed. "Thanks for the good wishes! You''ll definitely be my bridesmaid. Don''t worry about that!


    Throughout lunch, Lia kept talking to Marcus and barely took a bite of her food. Be felt dizzy from the sweet smell of romance in the air.


    "Can you focus on eating? Is he really that free? If he is, why not invite him to join us?


    Lia covered her mouth and giggled "He just got home from a flight and needs to rest, so I''d feel bad calling him out. Why don''t we have dinner together tonight? You two can meet each other then. You can''t wear makeup, though. I can''t have you stealing my spotlight. That''s because you''re way prettier than me!"N?velDrama.Org owns all content.


    Be rolled her eyes in exasperation. Women in love had such strange logic.


    After lunch, Be and Lia strolled around and enjoyed the afternoon. When It was almost time for dinner, they headed to the restaurant they had reserved. When they arrived, Marcus hadn''t shown up yet. They waited until it was after 7:00 pm before he finally arrived. When Be saw Marcus in person, she understood why Lia had fallen for him. He was even more handsome than in the photos and had a great presence. He looked good in every way-from his appearance to his financial status. He even drove an expensive car. But as soon as he sat down, he said, "Lis, let''s end this here. This will be ourst meal together."


    Both Lia and Be were stunned. Be couldn''t help but think of Oscar.


    Why did Lia''s boyfriends always break up with her so suddenly?
