I angrily swung my fist at Dominic Hartnell in frustration, landing a hard blow. In a muffled voice, I shouted, "Dominic Hartnell, you're such a jerk! If you want to kiss, just kiss. Why do you have to bite? It hurts so much!" This person is so despicable. He suddenly kissed me, and I didn't even have time to react. And he kissed me so passionately that I really wonder if I weren't pregnant, Dominic Hartnell might have eagerly pushed me down for a shameless car ride. But that's not all. What I hate the most is that he hurt me, yet he's now smiling smugly. Looking at his mouth with eight big white teeth exposed, I really want to pounce on him and bite him. "Does it hurt? Let me see, move your hand away."Dominic Hartnell smiled and coaxed me, reaching out to remove my hand covering my mouth. I moved back a bit and warned him in a displeased tone, "You can look, but no more kissing. It's really swollen and painful." He continued to coax me with a good temper, saying, "I just want to take a look." Reluctantly, I put down my hand. His slightly rough thumb gently touched my lips, and I immediately took a sharp breath, complaining, "Be gentle! Check if it's broken. Why does it hurt so much?" Dominic Hartnell lightly held my chin, getting closer and carefully examining it. "It's not broken, just a bit swollen... Come, let me kiss it again. It won't hurt anymore." Upon hearing the second half of his sentence, I quickly covered his mouth with my hand. Angry yet amused, I scolded, "Go away! You still want to bite me. There's no door, and you think kissing will make it stop hurting. Do you think I'm three years old? Hmph!" "No, wait," a sudden realization flashed in my mind, and I stared at him, asking, "Are you doing this on purpose? Is it because I stood up for Nicholas Scott?" "Dominic Hartnell, are you really that petty?" The more I thought about it, the more I felt this was the case, and I couldn't help but complain. Clearly, I rejected Nicholas Scott in front of him, yet he still acted like this. It's too much. "Am I petty?" Dominic Hartnell forcefully removed my hand covering his mouth, raised an eyebrow, squinted his eyes, and calmly looked at me. I was stunned, and my temples throbbed fiercely twice. "Um... No, you're not petty. My husband is the most magnanimous. How could he be petty?"I laughed sweetly and brightly, and then I flattered shamelessly. However, Dominic Hartnell didn't seem to buy it. "Wife, I clearly heard you say that I'm stingy." I held his head in my hands, ignoring the pain in my mouth, and planted a kiss on his face. "No, what I meant was that you care about me, not that you're stingy." Dominic Hartnell smiled, seemingly satisfied. "That's about right." "Also, since I've already collected the interest and we have a relationship with Jingxuan, I won't stop Nicholas Scott from acting in 'Just Want to Stay Home with You'. But you're not allowed to visit the set in the future." It was such a simple request that I immediately nodded in agreement without thinking.I hadn't even considered visiting the set, and I was afraid it would be awkward if we ran into each other. Having achieved my desired outcome, my mood instantly brightened, and I suddenly craved soup dumplings. "Honey, let's hurry and drive. I'm so hungry. Let's go eat grilled sandwiches." Dominic Hartnell didn't say anything more and efficiently started the car. After enjoying our meal, we returned to our house in the city center. Dominic Hartnell said his parents had gone abroad for business, and there was no one in the villa, so it was more convenient for us to stay here. I had no objections to this. I could live anywhere. After taking a shower, I pulled Dominic Hartnell to accompany me in watching a TV drama in the living room. Just as we finished watching an episode, my phone rang. It was Shannon calling.She had been busy with book signings recently, and I hadn't contacted her for a while. On the phone, Shannon said she would be done in three days and suggested that we go out and meet up when she returned. She proudly mentioned that she had brought gifts for my babies in my belly. When I asked what they were, she insisted on keeping it a secret. I could only tease her and scold her a bit, saying she was showing off for no reason. After chatting for a while, I told her to call me when she returned, as I was free anytime and could meet up whenever. After finishing the call with Shannon, I was ready to continue watching TV. At that moment, Dominic Hartnell told me that he would be going on a business trip to Jadeborough in a few days. I wasn't surprised that he had a business trip since he often traveled here and there before. However, I was curious because this time he happened to be going to Jadeborough. Lou was studying in Jadeborough, and I was considering whether to have him meet Lou and resolve their misunderstanding. But before I could say anything, Dominic Hartnell took the initiative and said that he planned to meet Lou after finishing his business. As he put it, his parents-in-law, uncle, and aunt were all taken care of, and now it was time to quickly win over his little brother-in-law. I found it somewhat amusing but couldn't help feeling a little worried. Lou is not like my husband, Vivienne Zanetti and Vivienne Zanetti. Sometimes his temper can be quite stubborn. But then I thought, if Dominic Hartnell can convince my stubborn father, he should have no problem dealing with Lou, this young lad. I'm not being unfair as an older sister, I just want our family to be loving and harmonious. Hmm, I have to trust my husband! But Dominic Hartnell won't leave right away; he said he would wait until his parents come back. He doesn't want to leave me alone, so he will send me back to the villa where someone can take care of me. Days go by, and I feel like I'm living a carefree life. Although Dominic Hartnell goes to the company every day, he always comes back early, and sometimes he doesn't even leave in the afternoon. On this day, he found out that Shannon had made plans for lunch with me, so he didn't go to the office in the morning. He waited until noon to take me to the restaurant before going to work himself. When he left, he asked me to call him when I was ready to go home, and he would come to pick me up.I smiled and nodded in agreement, and we exchanged a goodbye kiss before I stepped out of the car and entered the restaurant. As soon as I walked in, I spotted Shannon waving at me. Before I even took a seat, Shannon playfully remarked, "Girl, you're looking fabulous. Dominic Hartnell is really taking care of you." I responded happily, "Oh, it's nothing special, just average." Shannon seemed displeased, "Hmph, no need to hide your affection. You're just showing off." I jokingly defended myself, "Miss, you were the one who brought it up first." Shannon rolled her eyes, "Whatever! Forget about your man, I have something important to ask you." "Have you been in touch with Nicholas Scott lately? Has something happened to him?" I was browsing through the menu on the table when Shannon's words caught my attention. My hand suddenly froze, and I looked up with an uneasy expression.
