The Second Love

Chapter 294 The Most Heartbreaking Rejection

I was curious about Vivienne Zanetti and the others' sudden decision to transfer back to Dellmoor. It must be quite challenging for civil servants like them to transfer, especially as a couple. I secretly asked Dominic Hartnell about it, and he mentioned that their favorite place was Jinxin Yazu. That's why he took us there to see the houses first. Dominic Hartnell also advised me to talk to my dad privately about it. Although there were other good properties, considering all the factors, he believed that buying a house in Jinxin Yazu was the most suitable option. Even without Dominic Hartnell mentioning it, after comparing it with other properties, I also thought that the houses in Jinxin Yazu were better. Of course, the price per square meter there was also the highest.I was already surprised when I found out that Vivienne Zanetti and her husband might be transferring back to Dellmoor. And now, I bumped into them while they were looking at houses in Jinxin Yazu, which made me even more curious. In our family, the Zanetti family is the wealthiest, as they are in business. Next would be our family. Although my parents are just university professors and their basic salary is not high, they have good benefits. After my dad became a professor, his treatment improved even more. Moreover, my dad has also published his own articles, and although they may not be as good as those of the experts, the royalties are still considerable. The remaining ones are Vivienne Zanetti and her husband. Although they are civil servants and have stable jobs, they don't hold high-ranking positions and only receive fixed salaries. My mom mentioned before that before she and my dad went on a trip, Vivienne Zanetti asked her for a loan because her mother-in-law was sick and they didn't have enough money. It hasn't been long since then, and they suddenly have enough money to buy a house. I don't mean anything else, I'm just genuinely curious. That's why my dad called Dominic Hartnell to his study again, and I dare not ask until they finish their conversation. If my dad hears me, he will scold me for meddling in other people's affairs and gossiping. My dad dislikes talking behind people's backs, even if they are relatives. After hearing my question, my mom immediately smiled and said that Vivienne Zanetti told her that if they find a suitable house, they will sell their current one and use the down payment and mortgage to pay for the new house gradually. I couldn't help but laugh. They really are true sisters, thinking the same thing. If it weren't for Dominic Hartnell convincing my dad and getting a guarantee, our families wouldn't be buying a house together. I asked Vivienne Zanetti about their job transfer. My mom said Vivienne Zanetti told her it was just a coincidence. Normally, it's not easy to transfer jobs, but luckily two people here are retiring, and Vivienne Zanetti somehow found out about it and used their connections to make it happen. Although the official transfer order hasn't been issued yet, it's almost certain. My mom also said Vivienne Zanetti told her that when Vivienne Zanetti's husband comes back, the position he will fill is a great opportunity, better than his current one. As for Vivienne Zanetti herself, it's like a lateral transfer. She just wants to be with her husband and doesn't want to be separated. So this job transfer was completely planned by Vivienne Zanetti for her husband.I never realized that Vivienne Zanetti had such a talent for planning. After chatting with my mom, my dad finished talking to Dominic Hartnell, and they both returned to the living room. My dad decided to buy a house at Jin Xin Ya Zhu, and after having risotto with Vivienne Zanetti tomorrow, they would find a time to pay and finalize the deal. He also said it would be best to move in before the new year, so when I have my baby, there will be enough space for me to rest after giving birth. My dad also mentioned Vivienne Zanetti's house-buying situation and asked my mom to find out what kind of house they want. Dominic Hartnell said he could introduce them, and they might even get an internal discount. Afterwards, my mom and I watched TV while Dominic Hartnell played two more rounds of chess with my dad before we all went to our rooms to rest. Dominic Hartnell went to take a shower now, and I leaned against the pillow with my phone, scrolling through Weibo. I saw a voting activity for the most captivating male artist, and Nicholas Scott was ranked first. I sighed softly and tapped a few times, switching to WeChat. Looking at the blank conversation page, thinking about what he said to me during the day, I suddenly felt a headache. I wondered if I should say something to him, like... I'm sorry. But after writing and deleting, deleting and writing, I ended up not sending a single word after all the fuss. Forget it, we've already said so much during the day. What else can I say now? I remember reading a line in a novel before. It's actually like giving someone a "good person card". The general idea is that when you reject someone, you say something like "you're a good person", but it's actually the most heart-wrenching kind of hurt. Although I didn't mean to hurt Nicholas Scott, I still ended up hurting him. Sigh, what a mess. After this, I probably won't have any friends left. Feeling dejected, I stared blankly for a while, then closed WeChat and put my phone aside. I randomly picked up a manga I had bought before and started reading it. I hadn't even flipped through a couple of pages when Dominic Hartnell finished showering and entered the room. Luckily, when we were shopping earlier, I got interested and bought him two sets of home clothes; otherwise, he would have been shirtless. I shifted in bed, and Dominic Hartnell lay down beside me. As soon as he got on the bed, he embraced my shoulders and unexpectedly lifted my chin, planting a kiss on my lips. Instinctively, I reached up and held onto his neck. After a long kiss, I was almost out of breath. I patted my chest for a while before complaining, "What... what are you doing, suddenly doing this?" "What do you mean?" Dominic Hartnell leaned in closer, deepening the kiss. I dodged and said, "...Dominic Hartnell, stop fooling around..." Dominic Hartnell's seductive voice sounded in my ear, "Wife, if you call me husband right now, I'll be happier." I couldn't help but shudder, "Husband..." "Mmm... good... " Dominic Hartnell seemed quite satisfied with my cooperation. "Now... wife, you can tell me in detail what you talked about with other men during the day." Dominic Hartnell lightly pinched my cheek and asked softly.
