Chapter 153 His Ramblings


    After dropping Lia off at home, Be stayed with her until she was calm and sound asleep. Only then did she feel relieved enough to leave.


    It was alreadyte, and to make matters worse, a thunderstorm had rolled in. The windshield wipers worked tirelessly, but the heavy rain still made it hard to see


    Be was worried about getting into an ident, so she drove slowly, sticking to the side of the road.


    The rain poured harder, and thunder roared. Eventually, she had to pull over. She decided to wait until the storm eased up. She had always been afraid of thunder, but it wasn''t so bad if she was at home. Now, she feltpletely vulnerable out here.


    About half an hour passed, but the rain showed no signs of letting up. The thunderps grew louder and more frequent, with lightning shing across the sky like the prelude to some great disaster.


    Be''s anxiety grew. She turned the music up in the car, finding a small sense offort in the confined space..


    Suddenly, a car stopped in front of her. The rain was so heavy that she couldn''t make out much and thought it might be the police, checking for illegally parked cars.


    She was about to start driving again when her door swung open.


    It was Dominic!


    In just a few steps, he was soaked through. He urged her, "Move over!"


    Be didn''t even have the time to ask how he found her. She quickly slid over to the passenger seat, her small frame making it easy.


    Leaving his own car behind, Dominic drove her car straight to Miller Manor. Only once they were inside did she ask, "How did you know where I was?"


    He stared at her like she had asked something ridiculous.


    "Your car has a tracker. I saw you parked there for ages and figured you were too scared to keep driving. Did something happen with Lia? You were at her ce sote... Did you even check the weather?" Looking at him, Be couldn''t help but smile. "She''s fine. She had a fight with Leonard, but everything''s settled now. You''re drenched... You should change."


    Unusually talkative, Dominic kept grumbling, "Next time, pay attention to the weather. I


    won''t always be around to help you out. Honestly, how have you survived this long being so clueless?"


    It suddenly hit Be. Was this his way of saying goodbye?


    Of course... He was leaving for overseas soon. Even though he promised he woulde back, who knew what would happen?


    Sensing her silence, Dominic nced back at her. "What? Upset that I''m lecturing you?"


    She forced a smile as she replied, "No, I''m learning my lesson. Go ahead, keep scolding me."


    Dominic sighed and headed back to his room to change. Be didn''t leave.C0pyright ? 2024 N?v)(elDrama.Org.


    She stood at his door because she was not ready to let go of the moment. She hadn''t even


    little thanked him properly yet. As long as he was still here, she wanted to hold on to every moment because she didn''t want any regrets when she looked backter.


    After changing, Dominic came out of his walk-in closet. He paused as he was surprised to see her still there. "Anything else?"


    She shed him a bright smile, her pearly teeth showing a hint of yfulness. "Thanks for tonight. I don''t know when I would''ve made it home without you. When exactly are you leaving?" Dominic slowly took a deep breath and replied, "Tomorrow night."


    Tomorrow... So soon... It was less than 24 hours...


    Be lowered her head, unsure of what to say. She wanted to see him off, but somehow, the


    words wouldn''te..


    It was as if he could read her mind. "Don''t bother. The Yates family has a private jet here. Do you... have anything else that you want to say?"


    Be shook her head. She couldn''t think of anything, but at the same time, she couldn''t stand the idea of saying nothing at all.


    After tonight, he might be gone by the time she got home from work tomorrow.
