"You should apologize to Celia," Dominic's voice remained emotionless.
"I'm sorry, Celia. I won't say those things again," Julia quickly apologized, wary of uttering any more hurtful words in Dominic's presence.
Celia ignored Julia's apology, turning her attention to Dominic and releasing a sigh. "Dominic, thank you, but there was really no need for you to intervene. It was my fault. It's late, you should go back and rest."
Dominic furrowed his brow, questioning why Celia insisted on shouldering the blame. Nonetheless, he respected her wishes. With her urging, his expression grew even colder.
