Lewis said, “Calm down. Do you want to get beaten up again?”
When he thought about how terrifying dominic was, Elliott was terrified. He quickly changed the topic. “dominic, describe your wife to us!”
Dominic recalled everything that had happened between him and Aria. In the end, he said, “She’s too strange. I can’t describe her.”
At this moment, Andrew smith, who was supposed to be on the plane still, pushed open the door. When he saw his brothers, tears welled up in his eyes. The first thing he did was lunge toward Dominic. As he lunged toward him, he said, “Brother, I’m back to accompany you. There are many obedient, sensible, and good-looking women. Don’t be depressed. I’ll find them for you.”
Dominic looked at the big musclehead that had just pounced on him. He knew that he could not dodge him, so he changed his posture and let Mathew, who was closest to him, bear the guy’s weight too.
“Ah!” Before Mathew could react, he was attacked by a “cannonball”, so he let out a scream.
Those who did not know were not guilty, so Dominic did not argue with Andrew. After everything was explained, no one mentioned anything about fominic’s wife running away with someone else.
Elliott ordered someone to bring out the wine that he had kept for many years. Now that his brothers were all here, Dominic could not refuse. It had been a long time since they last saw each other, so they raised their glasses together to commemorate their friendship.
Not long after, Elliott and Andrew began to secretly pour wine into Dominic’s cup. “It’s been a long time, brother. I didn’t expect you to be married. Come, we’ll drink to your wedding.”
For this reason, Dominic relented and drank. Back then, he had only gotten married to exchange for information, so he did not tell his brothers. Everyone drank one cup each.
Not long after, Dominic’s face turned slightly red. Elliott raised his eyebrows at Andrew, indicating that he was almost at his limit.
In the Cross family’s old residence, Aria had packed up everything and she was now waiting for Dominic’s return. She waited until it was diner time. Lately, mealtimes had become synonymous with conflict in the Cross family’s home.
Every time it was time for dinner, everyone in the Cross family, from Old Master Cross to the servants, would have butterflies in their stomach.
......
When it was time to eat, Aria did not appear at the dining table. She frequently took out her phone to check the time. She was waiting for Dominic. At the dining table, Sarah and Mayor Edward had arrived. Not long after, Old Master Cross arrived as well. Only Aria was missing.
The butler immediately asked the servants to call Aria down for dinner.
Aria heard the knocking on the door and hurriedly got up to open it. She thought that it was time to leave, but when the door opened, she saw that it was not Dominic. It was the Cross family’s servant.
The servant said, “Second young madam, it’s time to eat. Master is waiting for you in the dining room!”
Aria looked at the time and asked, “Where’s dominic?”
The servant replied, “Second young master hasn’t returned yet.”
Aria looked in the direction of the door and then at her phone. She was hesitating whether or not to go down.
The servant sent by the butler liked Aria. She kindly reminded her, “Second young madam, Mayor Cross is here too.”
Aria understood and nodded. “Alright then! I’ll go down now.” Aria did not stay for long and soon appeared in the dining hall. As soon as she appeared, the servants became more cautious.
Aria commended herself for getting this far with the Cross family. If someone else were to marry into the Cross family, they would definitely be very careful and obedient every day. Only she could force everyone in the family to feel ‘fear’.
All of this was thanks to Sarah. Aria had never been the one to start up trouble, but she was not the least bit afraid when it came to arguing.
Aria glanced at the serious-looking Old Master Cross, then sat down in her seat obediently without saying anything. This was her last night in the Cross family, and she did not want to cause any more trouble.
Perhaps Old Master Cross had been siding with Sarah and he had locked her up in a small dark room to make her feel better. Or perhaps Sarah knew that Aria was going to move out with Dominic, so she did not take the initiative to pick a fight tonight.
“Since everyone is here, let’s eat!” Old Master Cross said. Only then did everyone pick up their chopsticks and start eating.
There were more than a dozen dishes on the table, and Aria had only been eating from the two dishes in front of her. Firstly, she was not very hungry, and secondly, she was trying to make herself scarce. She was about to leave the Cross family’s home, and she did not want to be picked on by Sarah Cross.
Halfway through the meal, someone came from the front hall. Then, she heard a few unfamiliar voices. “Uncle Cross, are you home?”
