The Second Love

Chapter 345 How Can You Be So Good!

I was furious, but I couldn't just scold Gianna Zanetti directly. Even though my mom curses and gets angry all the time, if I were to do the same, she would definitely scold me. My mom talks tough but has a soft heart. Plus, as she herself said, she and Vivienne Zanetti are sisters, so no matter what happens to Gianna Zanetti, my mom wouldn't just stand by and do nothing. She's currently angered by the things Gianna Zanetti said, and she's holding back her anger. But I know that no matter how unhappy she is right now, no matter how much she throws a tantrum, deep down she's still worried about Gianna Zanetti. Seeing my mom's face filled with worry and anger, I sighed softly in my heart. I picked up the glass of water that my mom had placed on the coffee table earlier, refilled it, and handed it to her."Mom, have some water. Don't be angry with Gianna Zanetti. She must have been anxious to say those things." "Should I call Gianna Zanetti again and ask her? Only after we clarify things can we explain it to Dominic Hartnell." "Maybe Dominic Hartnell can come up with a solution to help them out of their predicament?" "Anyway, let's not get worked up for now. Let's discuss it first." My mom furrowed her brows and nodded in silence. Seeing that she was willing to listen to reason and gradually calm down, I felt somewhat relieved. After a while, my mom suddenly said, "Alright, you don't need to worry about this matter anymore. I'll go and talk to Gianna Zanetti... I'll ask her properly." "And don't tell Han about this for now. Wait until I find out the truth, and then we'll see how things go."I hesitated for a moment but ultimately agreed. It's better for my mom to go and talk to Gianna Zanetti. If I were to go, there wouldn't be any need for words. I would already be at a disadvantage just based on seniority. As for Dominic Hartnell... well, let's not mention it for now. I don't want him to be a scapegoat and be taken advantage of for no reason, even if that person is Gianna Zanetti. If we really need to borrow money later, there should at least be some rules and maybe even a contract. After all, there's no such thing as a free lunch. You can't just take things without giving anything in return. Otherwise, once this door is opened, who knows how many problems will arise in the future. So my mom and I agreed on the same approach to this matter.When Dominic Hartnell returned from work, my mom had managed to calm herself down, albeit reluctantly. I just didn't expect that, before going to bed at night, Dominic Hartnell would bring up the matter of Gianna Zanetti's company to me. When I first heard him say it, I was not only surprised but also startled. This person must be a mind reader, knowing everything as if by magic. After chatting for a while, I learned that Dominic Hartnell had been secretly keeping an eye on Gianna Zanetti and her husband's company. He knew that their company was facing problems. The funding chain had broken, and if there was no new investment, the company might face bankruptcy. Dominic Hartnell straightforwardly told me that he was willing to help. He asked me to go and talk to Gianna Zanetti tomorrow, and if they could solve it themselves, that would be best. If not, he could intervene. Hearing him say this, I didn't know what to say. After being stunned for a while, I did the simplest and most straightforward thing, which was to kiss him! Dominic Hartnell cooperated with me, letting me nibble on his sexy lips. I kissed him for a long time before stopping and burying my head in his neck. Under the dim moonlight, I sighed with emotion, "Honey, how can you be so amazing!" "By doing this, I'm falling in love with you!" Dominic Hartnell chuckled softly, and I could feel his palm gently stroking my head. "Silly." "Of course, you have to love me, and you can only love me.""But no matter how much you love me, I will always love you more!" A sweet blow, my heart almost couldn't handle it! It's really, sweet to the core. After cuddling with Dominic Hartnell for a while, I finally forced myself to break free from this overly sweet atmosphere. Although my mom and I agreed not to tell Dominic Hartnell about Gianna Zanetti's situation during the day, since he already knew, I felt there was no need to hide it anymore. So, I briefly explained what happened during the day and also mentioned my mom's thoughts to him. Even though Dominic Hartnell said he was willing to help, my mom would definitely not agree to him just giving money for nothing. Of course, I didn't want him to do that either. After I finished speaking, Dominic Hartnell thought for a while and said to me, "Let's wait for my mom to ask first, and I can secretly help stabilize things on Gianna Zanetti's side." "We can buy some time." "After my mom and Gianna Zanetti have a talk, I'll see what's best based on the actual situation." I don't understand all of this, but as long as he knows what he's doing. And in my subconscious, what Dominic Hartnell says is definitely not wrong. Then I specifically told him again, whether it's borrowing money directly or him investing himself, or any other method, he can't just give the money away. Dominic Hartnell thought for a moment and agreed. Afterwards, the two of us chatted for a while before going to sleep. In the morning, I woke up with Dominic Hartnell.When we arrived in the living room, my mom had already prepared risotto. However, my mom didn't look too well, with dark circles under her eyes, probably because she hadn't slept well all night. Dominic Hartnell also noticed that my mom wasn't feeling well and asked if she was uncomfortable and needed to see a doctor. But my mom said she was fine, just didn't sleep well. In the end, she was still worried about Gianna Zanetti. After finishing the risotto, my mom was absent-minded the whole time, only eating a small portion of the black rice chicken noodle soup. I asked her to eat more, but she said she was full. Seeing my mom like this, I was quite worried. Dominic Hartnell was also concerned, and he asked me to mention that he was willing to help Gianna Zanetti whenever I had the chance. My mom was now obsessed with this matter, and she could only relax once Gianna Zanetti's predicament was resolved. I thought Dominic Hartnell made sense, so I agreed and said I would take care of it. After that, I urged Dominic Hartnell to hurry up and go to the company. Before departing, he reminded me multiple times to contact him if anything occurred. After bidding farewell to Dominic Hartnell, I promptly turned and headed towards my mother's bedroom. Upon pushing the door open, I observed my mother lying in bed beneath a thin blanket, her eyes shut as if she were asleep. I stood beside the bed for a moment and ascertained that she was indeed peacefully asleep. Consequently, I quietly exited the guest room and closed the door. I resolved to allow her some time to rest. Once she awakened and felt better, I would inform her about Dominic Hartnell's willingness to assist Gianna Zanetti. I desired not to disturb my mother's repose. Additionally, since it was still early and the weather was not excessively hot, I opted to take a stroll around the neighborhood. I changed into a cotton maxi skirt, grabbed my keys and phone, and departed. Just as I descended to the ground floor, I unexpectedly encountered Benjamin Chance. He was attired in a hospital gown, his arm supported by a sling, and he leaned on a crutch.
