I'm at a loss for words to explain this situation; it's quite chaotic. All I could manage to say was, "There's something... When will you come back? When you do, I'll slowly explain." Over the phone, Dominic Hartnell immediately agreed. "Well, then, I'll book the next available flight and should be able to be home tonight. Wait for me at home, okay?" I eagerly replied, "Okay, I'll wait for you." After hanging up the phone, I closed my eyes and lay on the bed, silently replaying today's events in my mind. Although Shannon told me that Benjamin Chance misunderstood, now that I calmly think about it, I have a faint feeling that things aren't as they seem. But I can't figure out what exactly happened, so I can only wait for Dominic Hartnell to come back and ask Benjamin Chance. Unable to make sense of their situation, I remembered what Dominic Hartnell said about having risotto with Lou over the phone. At that time, my mind was filled with thoughts of Shannon, and I didn't pay attention to Lou. But since they can have risotto together, it means there shouldn't be any major problems. Hmm, when Dominic Hartnell comes back, I'll ask him about Lou. Usually, I would take a nap at this time when I'm at home, but I can't sleep now. I changed into comfortable clothes and went downstairs to the living room. I watched TV to pass the time while waiting for Dominic Hartnell. However, Dominic Hartnell came back much faster than I expected. It had only been three hours, and he was already in Lightspring.He called me just now and he's on his way back to the villa. I looked at the time; it was exactly half past five. Dominic Hartnell would definitely be home before six. It's just that Dominic Hartnell's mother has been out all day and hasn't returned yet. I don't know where she went. I'll ask Dominic Hartnell to call and check later; we can't delay taking the medicine. I thought about all these chaotic things, feeling helpless. It's really a coincidence; everything is happening all at once. Now that Dominic Hartnell is back, he will definitely find out about his mother taking the medicine. I just don't know how long the truth can be hidden. Anyway, his father was fooled before. After his mother said it was a supplement, he didn't ask any more questions. Restlessly, I sat on the sofa. The TV was still on, but I didn't pay attention to what was playing. Finally, after fifteen minutes past six o'clock, Dominic Hartnell walked into the house, covered in dust. I immediately stood up and walked towards him. Dominic Hartnell walked even faster and reached me in just a few steps, holding onto my waist. He looked me up and down, with a concerned and reproachful look in his eyes, and said, "Why are you walking so fast? Don't you know how to be careful?" I quickly smiled and said, "Oh, I'm fine. The floor at home isn't slippery." Dominic Hartnell still had a lecturing tone as he said to me, "Even so, you shouldn't walk so fast. Be more careful in the future." They say absence makes the heart grow fonder, and although Dominic Hartnell and I could already be described as an old married couple, it couldn't hide the fact that we had just been apart.Now, being embraced by his warm arm and listening to his slightly nagging concern, my heart felt so warm that it was about to burst. But I still remembered the important matter at hand. I held his hand and walked towards the stairs, saying, "Let's go upstairs, I have something to tell you." Dominic Hartnell had no objections; he just changed hands and held mine instead. We went upstairs, returned to our bedroom, closed the door, and I told Dominic Hartnell about meeting Benjamin Chance during the day and all the things Shannon had told me. After listening, Dominic Hartnell pondered for a moment and then looked at me, asking, "Wife, do you want me to go find Ziyang?" My husband is smart; he immediately guessed my thoughts. "Well, you and him are brothers, he should be willing to talk to you," I replied. "Shannon is acting strange; there is definitely something going on between them. I just want to figure out what's going on, whether Benjamin Chance is mistreating Shannon." "Shannon told me today that she never thought about getting married, which is obviously not true. If she didn't want to get married, why did she enthusiastically go on blind dates before?" "You should arrange to meet Benjamin Chance and ask him directly." Dominic Hartnell played with my hand and remained silent for a while. I was getting anxious, worried that he might not want to do it. "Honey, please don't tell me you're not willing! Shannon is my best friend; I don't want her to suffer." Upon hearing this, Dominic Hartnell shook his head and chuckled, "How could I not be willing to do what my wife orders? It's just that..." I didn't have the patience to play along, so I directly asked, "Just what?"In a calm voice, Dominic Hartnell replied, "Did you ask Shannon Harper about this as well? Since she didn't tell you anything, I think it won't be easy to get anything out of Ziyang either." "They never intended for us to know from the beginning. If we hadn't coincidentally run into them today, you would still be clueless, wouldn't you?" Upon hearing this, I was instantly stunned. Upon careful consideration, Dominic Hartnell was indeed correct. Until today, I hadn't noticed anything unusual. These two must be keeping everything under wraps. But now that there are leads to follow, I can't just pretend to know nothing. "Well, you should go ahead and make plans to meet Benjamin Chance. What if he's willing to talk to you?" "I'll give it a try!" Dominic Hartnell agreed, and he would arrange to meet Benjamin Chance tomorrow night. For now, he insisted that I have the risotto first. After going downstairs, I asked the servant if Dominic Hartnell's mother had returned. The answer was still no. So I turned around and urged Dominic Hartnell to make the phone call quickly. I anxiously waited for Dominic Hartnell to finish his call with his mother before asking, "So, how did she respond? When will she be back?" Dominic Hartnell looked at me with a hint of amusement and said with a smile, "It seems like you've gotten along quite well with my mother while I was away." I chuckled and confidently replied, "Of course, I told you last time, didn't I? We even went shopping together." "Why, don't you think it's good that I get along well with my mother?"Dominic Hartnell gently held my face and placed a tender kiss on my forehead before pulling me into his arms. "Excellent, truly excellent! Thank you, my dear wife." I shook my head and whispered, "There's no need for thanks, it's simply what any spouse would do. Just have faith in me." "By the way, what did my mother tell you? When will she return? Should we wait for her to join us for risotto?"
