MARRIED TO MY CUTE WIFE

Lights Out, Lights Out

Dominic asked, “What dance did I do? Did I play a song?”

“You did. It was that song. You danced in the most dazzling ethnic style. You danced so hard that we all had to watch. In the end, you even forced me to applaud you.”

Dominic asked, “What was that?”

“It’s that popular song, ‘Legend of the Phoenix.’ You’re the most beautiful cloud in the sky. Let me try my best to make you stay...” Aria suddenly realized that something was wrong after singing for a while. She was a little surprised, “You haven’t heard of it?”

Dominic said, “I haven’t heard of it. There’s no way I played that song.”

Aria did not believe him. She patted dominic’s shoulder. “Stop pretending. This song is popular all over the country.”

“I never listen to music. No matter how popular it is, I don’t know. My phone doesn’t have this song,” dominic said teasingly.

This made Aria blush. He had seen through her lies.

“You took advantage of my situation and lied to me?” Dominic asked.

Aria blinked awkwardly and immediately changed the topic. “You’ve been eating for a while. Are you thirsty? I’ll go get you some water.” With that, Aria ran out.

He had only eaten for less than two minutes. Dominic looked at Aria’s retreating figure and shook his head helplessly with a smile.

When she reached the living room, Aria saw that Sarah was there as well. She stopped in her tracks, and Sarah was stunned when she saw her. Both of them knew that they were afraid of quarreling with each other, but their destination was the same — the water dispenser. They got their water. It was so quiet that only the sound of the water dispenser could be heard.

“What time will you move out tomorrow?” Sarah looked at the water dispenser and pretended to ask as if she did not care about the answer. She no longer had a domineering aura, and she looked much gentler.

......

Aria said, “We’ll see once my husband sobers up.”

“If you leave, don’t come back. The Cross family should belong to dominic, and not a single cent will go missing. But the Cross family’s mistress can only be me. You’re too young to compete with me. Although we don’t like each other, we can be polite to each other to keep the peace. If you dare to be greedy and if you make dominic monopolize the Cross Corporation, I won’t let it slide.” Sarah said as she closed her bottle.

Aria was completely confused. Mistress? Monopolizing? “I don’t understand what you mean. What are you talking about?”

“You don’t understand? Didn’t you want to step on my head and become the mistress of the Cross family? Then, you can make Dominic to do whatever you want, and the two of you can monopolize the Cross family.” Sarah laughed mockingly. She did not understand why she had spoken so bluntly. What was Aria Bennett hiding?

Aria held onto dominic’s cup of water, and her gaze was very sincere. She said to Sarah, “I never thought of stealing the matriarch title from you. Also, the Cross family belongs to the Cross family. It has nothing to do with me. Sister-in-law, I did not want to fight with you over anything.”

Sarah said, “Aria, have you forgotten what you said when you bullied Mary?”

“I bullied her?” Aria pointed at herself and asked in surprise.

Sarah replied, “I know that dominic is outstanding, and that all the girls like him. You acted arrogantly in front of Mary, arrogantly bullying her, and you even said that you wanted to lead the Cross family and steal my place. Why, are you afraid to admit it?”

Aria wanted to iron out the misunderstanding. She tugged on Sarah’s arm and said, “This matter must be explained clearly. Now, I understand why you have been finding fault with me for the past few days. It seems that someone is trying to sow discord between us. I can swear to you that I never said that I wanted to be the matriarch of the Cross family, nor did I mention anything about the Cross Corporation. In fact, I didn’t even say more than a few words to miss mary. If what I said today is even half false, I will die a horrible death. Please tell me, sister-in-law, what did Miss mary john tell you?”

Sarah looked at Aria’s serious expression. As the old saying went, a person’s eyes told the truth. Sarah could see the sincerity in Aria’s eyes.

Sarah suddenly remembered that night at the hotel. Her husband had told her that she was being used by the John family and cheated by Mary John, but she did not believe him. Now, Aria had also said that someone had caused their discord.

“It was the day you returned home. That afternoon, what did you say to mary that made her cry?” Sarah asked Aria.

“I was the one who met her that day.” Dominic suddenly came out from behind. He had already finished his food, and he wanted the water that Aria was supposed to bring up. Thus, he went out to look for her, but in the end, he overheard their conversation.
