Dennis subconsciously looked at Dominic and made a final struggle. “Uncle, you said that you wouldn’t care about me once I was over eighteen.”
Dominic looked coldly at his nephew. “You should know that I don’t like to talk nonsense.”
Dennis pulled at the roots of his hair with one hand. “Uncle, this hair is real. To dye it back to black, I have to go to a barbershop. It’s already so late. Can I dye it tomorrow?” Dennis was afraid that Dominic would disagree, so he added, “I’ll get up early in the morning to dye it.”
Dominic said, “There are many barbershops that are open 24 hours a day. Within an hour, I want to see that your hair is black.”
Sarah had not spoken to Dominic and his wife today. Now that she had the opportunity, she tried to persuade them to stay. “dominic, why don’t you stay? You can help me discipline Dennis if you stay at home.”
“Mom, I’ll give you some food. Eat, eat quickly.” Dennis quickly covered his mother’s mouth, determined not to let her continue. Uncle Devil and Little Devil were seated at the same table. If the husband and wife wanted to leave, they would leave. If they wanted to stay, they would naturally stay. Dennis only wanted them to leave and leave quickly!
After the meal, Dominic asked the servants to carry all the luggage down. Now, all that was left was Dennis’s hair. Dominic stared at Dennis’s head and said, “When are you going to dye your hair?”
Dennis’s little heart pounded as he looked at Dominic. He calmed himself down. “Uncle, can you leave first? I’ll dye it in a while. I promise you today that I’ll dye it black.”
Sarah slapped her son’s back. “What are you saying?” How could he say something so direct? He sounded like he was chasing Dominic away. Sarah was very hesitant. She wanted Dominic and his wife to leave, but she also wanted Dominic to help her discipline Dennis.
Dominic was impatient now. An hour had passed during dinner, so he ordered, “Butler, go get the hairdresser!”
“No, no, no. Uncle, I’ll go now. I’ll go now.” Dennis reached out to grab the butler. He was terrified in front of Dominic. He had originally planned to meet a few friends tomorrow to show off his new hair color. In the end, because he met his uncle first, that was no longer an option.
The most infuriating thing was that the woman beside his uncle had been holding back her laughter. What was so funny about this!
From the moment Aria saw Dennis, the smile on her face had never wavered. Whenever she saw Dennis admitting defeat to her husband, she could not help but laugh. It seemed that she was really Dennis’s nemesis!
......
In Dominic’s eyes, Aria’s snickering seemed more like a young woman’s joy when she looked at someone she cared about. Coincidentally, whenever Dominic turned his attention to Aria, Dennis and Aria were looking at each other. Dennis mouthed to Aria, “Stop laughing. Hurry up and help me out.”
They had been deskmates for many years. Even though Aria could not see Dennis’s lips clearly, she understood his message instantly. She shook her head. “You want me to help you? That’s impossible.”
The communication between the two made Dominic, who had been observing his wife, angry. He narrowed his eyes. “Aria, are you happy to see Dennis?”
Aria was “chatting” with Dennis when her husband suddenly asked. She did not hear him clearly and subconsciously replied, “Huh?” Unfortunately, this “Huh?” was misinterpreted as an affirmation. This made the fire in the man’s heart burn brighter.
Sarah, who was standing beside them, could feel Dominic’s displeasure. However, her brainless son and the unlikable Aria did not notice it at all. They even made it worse!
Dennis stepped in front of the two of them and grabbed Aria’s wrist. “Come with me.” After saying that, Dennis pulled his uncle’s wife away in front of his uncle. Most importantly, Aria even left with Dennis with a smile.
After the two of them disappeared, the hall became silent. One could even hear a pin drop. Dominic’s Adam’s apple bobbed. “Sister-in-law, Dennis is twenty-one this year, right? He’s not young anymore. It’s time for him to get married.”
Sarah’s mouth twitched. Twenty-one years old? Not young anymore? Time to get married?
“dominic, he’s still young,” Sarah said weakly.
After they disappeared, the two went to the backyard lawn. Dennis stuffed his phone into Aria’s hand. “Quick, take a photo of me. I have to dye my hair back later.”
Aria held the phone and laughed out loud. “dennis, this is all you’ve got. You’ve been bested by your uncle. Your dignity is lost!”
