At this moment, Dennis was happy that his grandfather was still alive and had some say in the Cross family. He would not let his uncle control everything.
However, what Dennis did not know was that if Dominic was determined to do something, even the heavenly king would not be able to stop him, let alone his father.
Dominic’s eloquent little wife opened her mouth and explained to Old Master Cross, “Dad, my husband is styling my deskmate’s hair!”
Dominic glanced at his wife. How could she say something like that?
When Old Master Cross appeared, he waved his hand and dismissed the servants who were holding Dennis down. Dennis was freed and he escaped in a flash. He was so fast that even Aria was shocked. She thought to herself, ‘If this guy could run this fast when we were in school, I wouldn’t have bested him so many times.’
Old Master Cross looked at Dominic and his wife, who were standing side by side. He then looked at the push-cart in their midst and said, “The two of you…”
“Dad, do you want to have your hair styled? My husband will do it himself. It’s free!” Aria asked playfully.
Old Master Cross snorted. His expression was darker than coal. He pointed at his head. “What? Are you going to shave my head?”
It seemed like a certain irritating young woman could no longer control her mouth. She pursed her lips and muttered in a low voice, “Anyway, Dad’s hair is almost gone. It’s better to shave my head. That’ll make my hair easier to wash.”
Dominic saw that his wife was courting death. He immediately relinquished his hold on the trolley and pulled Aria to the bedroom. Following that, the sound of things being smashed could be heard from the hall.
However, the culprit still had an innocent look on her face. “Hubby, is Dad angry because of what I said?”
“In the entire Cross family, you’re the first person who dares to say that he’s bald. You really dared to say that,” Dominic replied.
“Ugh, how do I put this! Honest words are harsh to the ear, but they are not harsh words! My words are not pleasant, but I am honest!” Aria said very seriously.
......
Dominic did not speak, and the sound of destruction in the hall did not stop. It seemed that the old man was once again affected by Aria. She also suspected that he was doing this to protect Dennis’s hair.
“Alright, alright! It doesn’t matter. Anyway, we are leaving today. Once we walk out the door, I will be free. I will fly high in the sky.” Aria looked at Dominic who was frowning and even comforted him.
Dominic said, “You can’t say that the old man is bald and continue to be a troublemaker even if we move away.”
“Think about it! We’ll be leaving soon. No matter how angry your father is, he can’t control me anymore. Hubby, don’t frown. It’s not pretty, and it’s… It’s scary,” Aria said jokingly.
It was clear that when Old Master Cross was angry, he would try to control her.
It was already past eight o’clock in the evening. Dominic and his wife were still at the cross family’s old residence. The later it got, the more uneasy Aria felt. She urged Dominic more than once, “Let’s hurry up and leave!”
Old Master Cross glared at Aria. “Have you ever seen anyone move out at night?” Judging from Old Master Cross’s attitude, he would not let the couple leave tonight.
Aria was frightened by his glare. She inconspicuously moved closer to Dominic.
“Everything is packed. We can leave at any time,” Dominic said when he felt as if there was a frightened kitten hiding behind him.
Old Master Cross looked down on the little person who hid behind the man whenever something happened. She dared to say that he was bald, but now she was hiding. Where was her confidence now? He continued looking down at her.
Old Master Cross said, “You won’t be able to leave tonight. Don’t you still have to style my hair?”
Hearing Old Master Cross’s words, Aria’s heart turned cold. She thought to herself, ‘It’s over, it’s over. I’ve already said it. I said it once and he’ll remember it forever. He’ll never let it go. Why did I forget that? Ahhhh!
Dominic was secretly protecting his wife. “Dad, my fees are too high. You can’t afford it.”
Hur! Didn’t he say that it was free? Old Master Cross was lucky that he did not have a heart attack just then. Otherwise, the husband and wife would definitely send him straight to the ICU. Would the husband and wife team up to anger him? Then he would get back at them with anger!
“You won’t be able to leave today! Butler, lock the door for me!” Old Master Cross knew that these two people were anxious to move out.
The butler, who was standing by the side, reminded him, “dennis went out to dye his hair, but he hasn’t come back yet.”
Old Master Cross said, “Leave a back door open for him.”
Coincidentally, Dennis had just returned. His hairstyle was back to normal, and it was much more pleasing to the eye than the gaudy hair from before. When he entered the house, the first thing he did was walk in front of Dominic. “Uncle, please check it. I’ve dyed it a few times to ensure that every strand of hair is black
