Chapter 266 Did You Sneak out Last Night


    Lia sald seriously, "He''s not that kind of guy. We''ve been talking for


    awhile, and we live in the same city. I invited him to visit my studio, and he turned


    It down. I even asked him out for coffee, but he said he was too busy.


    "If he were some creepy old pery, he would''ve jumped at the chance to meet up. I''m pretty good at reading people, so don''t take me for a fool."


    Be didn''tment


    was better at judging people than she was. Even though Lia''sst two boyfriends had been scared off thanks to Leonard''s meddling, neither of them. had any real ws. When the yarn Lia was using for the scarf ran out, she didn''t hesitate to ask Be to help organize the new batch.


    As Be looked at the different colored balls of yarn in her hands, a strange curiosity sparked within her.


    She liked trying new things. Over the years, she had picked up a variety of hobbies, from drawing to piano. However, knitting a scarf? That waspletely foreign territory.


    Almost as if Lia could read her mind, she handed Be two knitting needles. "Give it a shot. If you pick the right colors, your scarf won''t be any worse than the ones from the store. And you know Dominic wouldn''t like anything too bright."


    Be took the needles, pretending to be indifferent though her concentration gave her away. "I''m just messing around. Who said I''m knitting it for him? His ties and belts are worth more than I can imagine. He probably wouldn''t even nce at my scrappy scarf."


    Lia scoffed. "Yeah, right. If you''re not giving it to him, then who else? You don''t exactly have anyone else in mind."


    By 5:00 pm, Be had parked up her half-knitted scarf along with the remaining yarn, bringing them back to Miller Manor.


    After dinner, she immediately holed herself up in her room to continue knitting


    Knitting a decent scarf turned out to be harder than she had expected, and it quickly reced her usual evening routine of reading


    Seeing how strangely she was acting, Dominic grew suspicious. He called Sylvia over. "What did she do this afternoon?"N?velDrama.Org owns ? this.


    Sylvia thought for a moment. "She went to Ms. Lawson''s ce, I think. They''re close, so it''s pretty normal for them to hang out together."


    Domine still felt something was off. He went upstairs and stopped in front of Be''s room. "Want to take the dog for a walk?"


    Be quickly yanked the nket over her half-knitted scarf, nced at the light snow falling outside the window, and said, "Not today. It''s snowing. You go ahead, bute back soon."


    He didn''t respond, and after a moment, she heard his footsteps fade down the hallway.


    Be let out a sigh of reliet, carefully locked the door, and continued knitting. She stayed upte working on it until she eventually fell asleep.


    The next morning, she made her way downstairs while yawning and bumped into Dominic, who didn''t seem too pleased. Not noticing his expression, she greeted him as usual, "Morning"


    He set a ss of milk down in front of her with a thud. "Did you sneak out tomit robberyst night or something?""


    s pretty good..."


    Be froze. "No... I stayed upte watching a show. There''s a new show out, and it''s pretty Dominic saw right through her lie. "You don''t even like watching shows. You''re more into those weird, boring books." Weird and boring?


    Be thought about the books on her shelves. Most of them were rted to medicine, with a few focused on anatomy How were they weird? Sure, they weren''t everyone''s cup of tea, but it made sense to love what you did, right? So, in his She didn''t bother responding as she was still a bit groggy, so she just focused on her breakfast. Her mind had already shifted to the surgeries she was scheduled for at the hospitalter that day.

    However, Dominic seemed to lose his appetite. With a grim expression, he stood up and headed toward the entryway.


    Be snapped out of her thoughts just in time to call after him. "It''s pretty cold today. Don''t forget to wear a coat and take it easy on the road "


    His expression softened slightly. As he walked out the door, he tossed back, "You''re the one reminding me-don''t forget it yourself."
