The Second Love

Chapter 240 Till Death Do Us Part

I was not only shocked by his sudden action but also felt embarrassed. What's this guy doing in front of the doctor? We're adults! He should control himself! “Control yourself, Dominic!” I whispered in his ear to remind him. Please don't do anything excessive. I'm afraid that I won't be able to handle you! “Why are you holding me so tightly? Let go of me, quick!” Following those words, I finally managed to push Dominic away by pinching his waist and exerting some strength. I intended to reprove him again, but I felt nervous as soon as I met his passionate gaze and swallowed my words. “Since you've nothing else to tell us, we best be leaving then, doctor. The only thing I have to do tomorrow is to get the discharge procedure done, correct?” The doctor's face was flushed at the moment as he was trying to hold back his laughter for what he had seen. When he heard my question, he let out a few inadvertent coughs before answering me, “Y-Yes. You're correct. When you return home, remember to take good care of your body as well as the fetuses. If possible, try your best not to do too many activities before the fifth month. Having a walk for thirty minutes every day after dinner is sufficient.” “I'll keep that in mind. Thanks, doctor.” After expressing my gratitude, I grabbed Dominic's arm and left the doctor's office. The second we stepped out of the office, Dominic scooped me up in his arms with one swift move. Although I was a little startled, I did not struggle at all. His movement was not only steady but gentle. He then headed to the ward with me in his arms wordlessly. I leaned my head against his chest and caressed my belly, enjoying that moment of blissfulness. Oh, how I wish time would stop right now! If that's the case, Dominic, myself, and our two children can live together forever without anyone's interruption. Aside from that, I felt like I had been torturing Dominic recently, perhaps because of my pregnancy. Akin to a spoiled child, I kept bugging him to take me out for leisure or food. I would even throw tantrums for no reason toward him at times. Nevertheless, Dominic remained very patient with my erratic behavior. He was willing to set aside everything on hand to be by my side and take care of me. As I felt delighted and touched by what he had done for me, my heart was opening up slowly again. Since we were both still in love with each other and even had children together, I thought it was utterly absurd for us to separate just like that. At those thoughts, I wrapped my arms around Dominic's neck while lifting my head to scrutinize him. I could only see his chin, unfortunately. Nonetheless, his gorgeous-looking chin was enough to mesmerize me. I concluded that an attractive man like him would look handsome in every part of his facial features. Now that he was the father of the babies in my womb, I could not simply give up on our relationship, especially for our children's sake. The more I thought about it, the more determined I felt. Let's give it another shot. Then I will have no regrets in the future. If my children ask me about our situation when they grow up, I'll let them know that I've done all I can, but their father was too inept by failing to deal with the in-laws' issue. It's decided then. I'll try one last time for our children's sake. Not long after, we arrived at the ward. Dominic placed me on the bed and covered me with the duvet considerately. He then sat down beside the bed with a somber and determined expression. “I have something to tell you, Liliana. We have to talk this out no matter what today, for our children's and our sake.” “I have something to tell you too. Listen to what I have to say first.” I did not want to oscillate any longer, even feeling a little impatient. “Liliana!” Although I was unsure why Dominic was agitated all of a sudden, I could not ponder too much about it since I had a more pressing matter to tell him. Therefore, I ignored his shout and went on, “I'll be truthful, Dominic. I was serious when I said I wanted to break up with you. That was because I was too tired and also felt aggrieved. Such words might be unfair to you, but you're a man. Besides, you should know that I'm not babbling nonsense. Let's put Camille aside and talk about your mother. I've tried to tolerate her time and time again, but she has never treated me decently. She has even slapped me twice.” “I-I'm sorry. I—” “Shut it! I'm not finished yet!” I interjected Dominic's words with an angry tone. “You're not the one who should apologize, but I get it. She's your mother and an elder. Still, you're at fault as well. If you lived a righteous life before, we wouldn't even be having this conversation.” I felt a raging fire surging in my heart as I spoke. Even though it was a little unreasonable, there was no stopping at that point. Besides, I thought what I had said was factually accurate. No matter how wicked Camille was, the culprit was Dominic. If he were not seducing her, he would not have acted so conceitedly for no reason whatsoever. I became even more furious with those thoughts and glared at Dominic violently. In response, he did not avert his gaze from me nor uttered anything. Hence, I continued, “Initially, I intended to forgo our relationship permanently. I would allow you to visit our kids, at best. However, I've changed my mind. Considering that our children have arrived at this very moment, I'm willing to give it a shot again for their sake. How about you, Dominic? What's your opinion on that? Didn't you want to say something to me? What is it?” I felt a lot more relieved after speaking out everything I wanted to express all at once. Going against one's conscience is unwise indeed. If it still doesn't work out, I can only accept my fate.As for Dominic, he was staring intently at me with passion. Such a stare had caused my tranquil heart to feel edgy. After a moment of silence, Dominic reached out his hands to cup my face and gave a peck on my forehead. “Domi—” Before I could even call out his name, his lips had already touched mine. Stunned for a few seconds, I took the initiative to wrap my arms around his neck. Well, it's been a while since we've kissed. I might as well enjoy it. At the outset, Dominic was acting normal. However, his hands were already on my breasts as time went by. I came back to my senses only after he squeezed them and stopped his naughty hands from proceeding swiftly. “S-Stop it. Think about the kids...” Dominic removed his hands in response before placing my head on his chest. “You're the only woman I want, Liliana. To love and to hold, to love and to cherish, till death do us part.” My first reaction to his statement was bewilderment. A few seconds later, I chuckled in amusement. Who would've thought he would utter or remember such a statement?
