“Sister-in-law, Aria has only met Miss john three times. I’ve been there all of those three times. She has never had an argument with Miss john, let alone bullied her. On the day we returned, it was actually me and Miss John who were talking.” Dominic heard the gist of their conversation. When Sarah questioned Aria, he spoke up.
Sarah Cross looked up at the tall dominic. “How could it have been you?”
“It’s me. I’m sure you know how she feels about me. Now that I’m married, I told Miss John not to waste her time on someone she has no chance with.” Dominic was a smart person. He had already figured everything out.
Aria said, “Right. I remember that day when father asked me to deal with her. I led him away and gave you two a chance to spend time together.”
Sarah did not dare to believe it. After all, she had been friends with Mary John for many years. Her face was filled with confusion as she looked at Dominic. She wanted to say something, but she was hesitating. After all, no one in the Cross family dared to question him.
Dominic said, “Sister-in-law, I heard a lot of your conversation just now. After so many years, I know what you’ve been worried about. Think carefully. Why would I lie to You? Right now, I can tell you very clearly that my wife will not accept this title as the matriarch of the Cross family. I will definitely not touch the Cross corporation. That belongs to dennis Cross.”
Finding out that dominic had wanted nothing to do with mary john was shocking for both Aria and Sarah. She had always thought that her husband was a scumbag who married her but had feelings for someone else. She poked dominic’s waist. “You don’t like Miss John?”
Dominic asked Aria in return, “Do you think I would marry someone else if I was in love with someone else?”
Aria thought for a moment. She looked into dominic’s sincere eyes and shook her head. If he had someone in his heart, he definitely would not marry her, even if he was forced to.
“Seriously, you should have said it earlier! I even scolded you in my heart before.” Aria, who was straightforward, did not know how to say what she was thinking. After saying this, she regretted it.
Dominic smiled and asked, “What did you scold me for?” He was smiling, but Aria’s heart was full of confusion.
Aria had once misunderstood his relationship with mary john. Thus, in her heart, she had called dominic a scumbag for marrying her and having feelings for someone else. She found it hard to accept that sudden kiss as well.
Only then did Aria realize that dominic and Sarah were innocent. All of this was caused by mary’s trickery and her own imagination.
......
Aria and dominic inadvertently looked at each other, and she immediately turned her face away in panic. Then, she said to Sarah, “You should go back and think about whether this is the work of a villain.”
Dominic held Aria’s hand and asked, “Is the water ready?”
“Yes,” Aria said obediently. She raised the glass of water in her hand for Dominic to see.
“Then let’s go back up and rest!” Dominic led Aria past Sarah Cross, leaving her alone in the hall to reflect. When they reached the bedroom, Dominic held onto the question from before, not letting go. “What did you secretly scold me about?”
“I don’t think you should know. I’m worried that you’ll lose your wife as soon as you get married.” Aria thought about it again and again, not daring to say it out loud.
Dominic said, “If you don’t tell me the truth, we won’t move out tomorrow. You can enjoy yourself at the Cross family’s house.”
Aria said, “Jerk.”
Dominic said, “What else?”
“Scumbag.” After saying that, Aria hung her head and apologized. She secretly raised her head and glanced at the man whose face was as hard as steel. He was staring at her intently.
“Don’t look at me like that. You can’t blame me for this. You didn’t tell me that the two of you were not together,” Aria said after mustering up the courage to speak.
Dominic said, “Continue. What else have you scolded me for in your heart?”
Aria shook her head. She did not dare to say anything else. “My brain capacity is limited. I don’t know enough words to scold people with. That’s really it.”
Dominic said, “I don’t think your brain is small.”
Aria said, “It’s the same size as yours.” He simply could not talk too much with Aria. Dominic’s anger would rise every now and again.
In the other bedroom, Sarah woke her sleeping husband when she returned to the room. “Hubby, you told me last time that I was being used by the John family and that Mary was lying to me. Why?”
Mayor Edward picked up his glasses on the bedside table and put them on. He asked in a groggy voice, “What time is it? Why aren’t you sleeping?”
Sarah asked anxiously, “Honey, wake up. Tell me clearly, why did you say that Mary was deceiving me?”
