The Second Love

Chapter 280 It's Time To Change The Address

I felt a bit nervous. Shannon had never been fond of Dominic Hartnell. Are they going to argue again? Just thinking about it, I feel like there are so many issues. Usually, it's either between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, or between the daughter-in-law and sister-in-law, like a sandwich cookie. But in my case, my best friend can't stand my future husband. It's quite refreshing and unconventional. I shook my head slightly and stood up, leaning against the back of the sofa, and moved towards Shannon. As soon as I walked behind Dominic Hartnell, I heard him say, "Shannon Harper, thank you for taking care of and protecting Liliana Zanetti all these years." "But from now on, when she has me, I will protect and cherish her more than you ever could."Shannon snorted coldly, "I hope so. Anyone can say beautiful words, but don't forget, you have a criminal record." "Liliana Zanetti is like a sister to me. She treats me like family, and I feel the same way. She is getting married now, and she wants to marry you. If I can't stop her, then I can only bless her. I'll say one thing, no matter when, if she needs help, I will be by her side immediately." "If you dare to hurt her, even if she cuts off our friendship, I will take her away from you." Shannon's words hit me hard, each word striking my heart. But Dominic Hartnell didn't hesitate at all. His voice was calm but full of confidence, "You won't have that chance." Shannon shrugged and smiled faintly, "Okay then, I hope I won't have that chance." Seeing that they had said enough, I walked out from behind and stood between them, holding their hands, but my gaze was on Shannon."Don't worry, with my parents, Lou, and you, he won't dare to mistreat me." Shannon's gaze flickered, and a smile of compromise mixed with helplessness appeared in her eyes. "Alright, alright, from now on... I won't scold him anymore." I quickly nodded and turned my head sweetly, saying, "Honey, you won't mind Shannon, right?" Dominic Hartnell smiled indulgently, "You said Shannon is like family to you, how could I mind your family?" Hearing this, I finally breathed a sigh of relief. This is enough. As long as we can get along peacefully and not have any conflicts when we meet. After dealing with those two people, I thought of Lou again. This kid also has some issues. But I don't plan on dealing with Lou myself, I'll leave it to Dominic Hartnell. Lou and Shannon's situations are different. He used to admire Dominic Hartnell a lot. I think Dominic Hartnell, being his brother-in-law, should be able to handle his little brother. Once I made the decision, I relaxed and happily spent time with everyone. However, with my big belly, it's not suitable for me to stay out too late. When it was almost eleven o'clock, Dominic Hartnell waved his hand and prepared to take me home. After tonight's commotion, I gained a whole new understanding of the relationship between Dominic Hartnell and James Dalton. What intrigues me the most is the involvement of Yvonne Baker, a charming and beautiful woman, in their brotherly bond. For a moment, I became curious about Dominic Hartnell's years abroad... I'll find a good day to ask him. James Dalton also told me something. The TV adaptation of "Just Want to Stay Home with You" is about to start filming, and there will be a kickoff ceremony and dinner next week. He invited me to attend.I almost forgot about this, if he hadn't mentioned it today, I might not have remembered. "Just Want to Stay Home with You" is meaningful to both me and Dominic Hartnell. Now that the TV series is about to start, I'm a little interested in attending the kickoff ceremony. Thinking this way, I looked at Dominic Hartnell, and he instantly understood what I wanted to express. He simply said that he would accompany me if I wanted to go. I also asked Shannon if she wanted to come and join us, but she said she had to accompany another author to a book signing event in another city next week and didn't have time. After confirming the specific location and time, Dominic Hartnell and I agreed to attend. After the gathering ended and we left the club, I wanted Shannon to come with us and offered to send her home, but she refused, saying that taking a taxi was convenient.But I was worried. Shannon is quite attractive, and what if something happens in the middle of the night? In the end, Benjamin Chance stepped forward and took on the task of sending Shannon home. Since someone was already taking care of it, I didn't insist anymore. I bid farewell to everyone and went home with Dominic Hartnell. After a wild night of fun, I took a shower and quickly fell asleep once I lay down on the bed. I didn't even have time to tell Dominic Hartnell about Lou's situation. The next day, Dominic Hartnell and I didn't go anywhere. We stayed in the villa all day. Another day passed, and when I woke up in the morning, I spent a long time rummaging through the wardrobe before finally choosing a light pink maternity dress to wear. I even took the time to shape my eyebrows and put on some lipstick before I was satisfied. Today, I had to go get the marriage certificate. Although I couldn't put on a full face of makeup due to my pregnancy, I still wanted to look beautiful within the limited range. You see, when you get a certificate, you have to take a photo. I didn't want to look ugly when I looked at the photo on the marriage certificate in the future. After changing my clothes, I saw Dominic Hartnell sitting on the sofa in a handsome navy blue suit, waiting for me. I have to say, even though I see him every day, I was still struck by how handsome he looked. In that instant, I felt like I had hit the jackpot. With such excellent genes, I was sure that the two little cuties in my belly would be handsome boys and beautiful girls, like a perfect little prince and princess. "Wife, let's have an early risotto and then go to the Registry Office. We'll have risotto at home tonight, and tomorrow we'll go to your parents' house." This arrangement seemed reasonable, so I smiled and nodded, without expressing any other opinions.When we went downstairs to the risotto hall, Dominic Hartnell's mother was already sitting at the table. Surprisingly, his father was also there. During the days we stayed at the villa, his father would leave early and come back late every day. I hardly saw him, so I didn't expect to see him at the breakfast table today. Could it be because we were going to get the marriage certificate? Regardless of my thoughts, I greeted them without hesitation. "Good morning, Uncle and Auntie," greeted Dominic Hartnell's father with a kind smile. "Hmm, please have a seat and enjoy some risotto," he added. "Lili... May I call you that?" I nodded eagerly, and then I heard his father continue, "This child has always had a fiery temper and can be quite arrogant. Since you've decided to marry and be together, you should take good care of each other. And as for the way you address us, it should change to Mom and Dad."To be honest, I was taken aback by his father's words. I never expected his father, whom I rarely saw, to suddenly appear and request that I change the way I address them.
