I gasped and slapped Dominic Hartnell's unruly hand, giving him a disdainful look. But in my mind, the image of him whispering in my ear during the day quickly flashed by. I bit my lip lightly, feeling as if I had been poisoned, my body becoming even weaker, as if I had no bones. However, Dominic Hartnell easily removed my hand and tightened his grip. "Mmm..." I couldn't help but raise my body slightly, emitting a soft moan. "Wife, tell me what you talked about with Nicholas Scott, hmm?" I felt like my brain was about to crash, my thoughts severely stuck and sluggish. It took a while for my brain to process what Dominic Hartnell said, and the words Nicholas Scott said when he called me during the day slowly emerged. But I didn't really want to let Dominic Hartnell know. He's jealous right now. If he finds out that Nicholas Scott called to confess, would he lose control? I can't handle it right now. But my silence obviously didn't satisfy him. His hand, which was still lingering on my chest, slowly slid down to my protruding abdomen, finally stopping between my legs. As if being electrocuted, I reflexively tightened my legs, trembling slightly, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on my skin. "Wife, honesty is the best policy. Have you heard of 'confess and be lenient, resist and be strict'? Tell the truth, and then we can go to sleep." I clenched his hand and gasped, asking, "Are you sure? Then... if I tell you, you can't get angry and you can't mess around anymore." Dominic Hartnell chuckled softly and replied, "I'll listen to my wife."I licked my dry lips and hesitated for two seconds before gritting my teeth and roughly recounting what happened during the day. I had no choice but to tell him. I'm practically at his mercy now. After I finished speaking, I propped myself up on the mattress, raised my head, and kissed Dominic Hartnell on the cheek. "Husband, I really didn't expect Nicholas Scott to say he likes me. I was so scared at the time, and we haven't been in contact for a long time. Besides, I've already rejected him. So, please don't be jealous." Dominic Hartnell gave me a cold glance and said in a chilly voice, "It's just that you don't know." "Uh...what do you mean? Did you already know that Nicholas Scott likes me? Is that why you don't like him?" I was surprised. How could that be possible? Do I have such charm to be secretly loved by a big star? And...am I really that clueless? When did Nicholas Scott start liking me? I didn't notice at all. Although he has always been nice to me and helped me many times, we were just friends at the beginning. Since we were friends, it's normal to help each other, right? Even when Monica Cross tried to set us up a few times, Nicholas Scott clearly resisted and explained it with me. I really can't understand. It feels completely unfathomable. "Wife, you really don't feel anything at all?" Dominic Hartnell leaned closer with his handsome face, staring at me intently. I quickly had a clever idea and flattered him with a loud compliment. "Yes, I think about you all the time. I don't have time to think about these things like Anglandur." I felt a bit sour saying this, but it worked well.Mr. Han was very happy and satisfied. He curved his lips, and his seductive smile slowly widened as he pecked my lips. "Let you off the hook." I quietly clapped my hands in my heart, glad that I smoothed things over. "But..." Dominic Hartnell dragged out the ending, adding a twist. I immediately became a bit nervous and eagerly asked, "But what?" "Now that everything is clear, you also know that he has improper intentions towards you. You are not allowed to contact him anymore." "When I say contact, it includes phone calls, WeChat, and all forms of social communication." "Wife, you are now someone's wife. Are you willing to let your husband, me, constantly worry about someone having thoughts about you?"I was speechless and twitched the corner of my mouth, unable to respond. Shouldn't I be the one saying this? Clearly, there are more women who have thoughts about him. I still remember a suspicious person, Gu Xingchen. But his pitiful tone and expressive face pleased me, making me feel charming. Besides...let's just delete it. I probably won't have a chance to contact Nicholas Scott again. Cutting off contact like this is good for both me and Nicholas Scott, to avoid any misunderstandings. For various reasons, I ended up deleting Nicholas Scott's phone number and WeChat in front of Dominic Hartnell. Dominic Hartnell kept his word and didn't misbehave. I rested my head on his arm and quickly fell into a sweet dream, enjoying a peaceful night's sleep.The next day, my parents went out early in the morning to buy groceries. Vivienne Zanetti and her husband were coming over for lunch to have risotto. Unexpectedly, they came back with my parents, saying they happened to meet downstairs. My mom went to the kitchen with Vivienne Zanetti, busy preparing the risotto. Meanwhile, I stayed with Dominic Hartnell, and my dad kept Vivienne Zanetti's husband company, engaging in conversation. I knew they wanted to ask Vivienne Zanetti's husband about buying a house and get some ideas before Dominic Hartnell could give advice. Vivienne Zanetti's husband wasn't much of a talker. It was like pulling teeth to get him to answer a question. But he did say what needed to be said. They were also interested in buying Jingxin Yazhu. Vivienne Zanetti must have overheard our conversation in the kitchen because she rushed out with a bunch of scallions and anxiously asked, "Xiaohan, Auntie just wants to know, if we want to buy Jingxin Yazhu, can we get a discount? If so, how much?" "You tell me first. Your uncle and I will calculate and see if we have enough money." I clicked my tongue on the side and couldn't help but interject, "Vivienne Zanetti, are you planning to get a mortgage?" Vivienne Zanetti smiled and replied, "If we don't have enough money, then we'll have to get a mortgage." I blinked, feeling a bit shocked. Did Vivienne Zanetti mean they wanted to pay in full? My mom came out of the kitchen at this moment, a bit worried, and advised, "Second sister, have you thought it through? Do you really have that much money? Even if you do, if you buy like this, won't you empty your pockets? Hanhan is still in school." My dad had remained silent until now, but after hearing my mom's words, he spoke up, "Sixian, your sister is correct. You and Daqi should carefully consider this." Vivienne Zanetti nodded confidently, "Sister, brother-in-law, don't fret. We are well aware of what we are doing." "Xiaohan, please inform Auntie of the approximate cost." This statement effectively redirected everyone's focus towards Dominic Hartnell.
