The Second Love
Biu-Biu-Biu... My heart was struck, leaving me breathless. In an instant, my heart, which no longer belonged to a young girl, burst with cosmic energy. Dominic Hartnell's face, coupled with his commanding CEO style, and topped off with sweet words accompanied by pink bubbles, made him the epitome of a Mary Sue. Under such an assault, my unhappiness, frustration, and heartache vanished without a trace. Of course, it would be even better if it were just the two of us without the occasional exclamations and sighs from the people around us. Fortunately, the long red light finally turned green. I couldn't help but raise my eyes and smile at Dominic Hartnell, saying, "The light is green, let's go quickly." Dominic Hartnell held my hand and playfully responded, "I shall obey the orders of my wife." Seeing his lighthearted and deliberately pleasing behavior, I couldn't help but laugh and lightly pinch him. Once we crossed the road and turned onto the nearby tree-lined path, the noisy voices finally faded away. Taking this longer route back to the neighborhood didn't matter to me and Dominic Hartnell, so we strolled leisurely, holding hands tightly. On this refreshing and clear summer night, even in a modern city filled with steel and concrete, we could still see the stars when we looked up. It was beautiful, enchanting. With my loved one by my side and the beautiful scenery as our company, I felt incredibly happy. But Nicholas Scott... I leaned my head on Dominic Hartnell's shoulder and let out a sigh. Dominic Hartnell let go of my hand and put his arm around my shoulder. "Wife, experts say that if a mother often sighs and looks worried, the baby born in the future will not be good-looking." "They will have a bitter face and won't smile." "Do you want our Gilbert Hartnell to turn out like that?" The slight melancholy that had just emerged in me was instantly dispelled. I looked at him speechlessly and with amusement, saying, "You're exaggerating so much. That expert of yours is unreliable." Dominic Hartnell replied seriously, "The parenting books at home, the mother and baby magazines, they all say the same thing, more than one person." "Are they all unreliable?" His words reminded me that I had bought quite a few books over time. But after buying them, I didn't really read many of them seriously. Instead of reading those vague books, I preferred to play songs for the babies or tell them stories. And I believed that no matter how extravagant the books were, they couldn't compare to the teachings of parents. As long as Dominic Hartnell and I could set a good example and have a happy and harmonious family, our two little ones wouldn't go astray. But I didn't expect that Dominic Hartnell actually read those books, and from his tone, it seemed like he had read quite a few. Just thinking about President Han wearing a high-end tailored suit, holding a baby care book, and looking refined without any wrinkles on his tie, amused me. I smiled and agreed, "Yes, yes, I will remember it for the sake of our beautiful and adorable baby.""No frowning, no sighing, is that okay?" I looked up, smiling at Dominic Hartnell. He held my hand, stopped walking, and leaned down to kiss my lips. A gentle and soft kiss, like a dragonfly touching the water. "Wife, I only hope that you can always be happy, not just for the baby." I hooked my arms around his neck, tilted my head slightly, and kissed him back. "With you, with the baby, with mom and dad and little brother, and so many people caring about me, I am very happy." I paused for a moment, thought for a moment, and then continued, "It's just that I ran into Nicholas Scott today, and... I'm just a little upset." "It's not that I'm unhappy..." Dominic Hartnell comforted me softly, like stroking a kitten, "Blame me, I shouldn't have arranged this hotel."I immediately laughed and playfully scolded him, "How can it be your fault? It's just a coincidence, you didn't know that he and Gu Xingchen would also be there today." Dominic Hartnell laughed along with me when he heard what I said. He held my hand again, and we continued walking forward. "Then listen to me, don't think about it anymore." "Nicholas Scott is not a fool, I believe that after today, he will definitely understand." "If it's not meant to be, it will never be. Forced melons are not sweet." Although I know that most of what Dominic Hartnell said is to comfort me, after all, neither of us is Nicholas Scott, and no one knows what he really thinks. But after hearing his words, I couldn't help but nod along. That's the truth...After walking in silence, holding Dominic Hartnell's hand for a while, I asked again, "So, are you saying that he and Gu Xingchen are really..." Before I could finish, Dominic Hartnell interrupted me, "It's their decision to get married, and their future will depend on them." "Wife, neither you nor I are gods, we can't control everything." "Please stop thinking too much, okay? If you still feel uncomfortable, then blame me." "Blame me for loving you so much, blame me for making you fall in love with me." I was stunned for a moment and rolled my eyes at him speechlessly. The atmosphere was originally quite sad, but somehow he managed to make it sweet with a few words. Blame what? No one can be blamed. If we really have to blame someone, we can only blame that love is selfish.Although there are still some knots in my heart, having Dominic Hartnell occasionally tease and comfort me makes me feel much better. Despite feeling guilty towards Nicholas Scott, in this selfish love, I can only close my eyes and fulfill my own dreams. It was already late when we arrived home that night, so I called my mom and we went to bed. After that, my mom accompanied Gianna Zanetti and the others to have fun, and Dominic Hartnell arranged a car for them to drive around. While they were enjoying themselves, my siblings also came. Although they were a bit noisy, I couldn't let these young kids stay in a hotel, so they all stayed at home. Luckily, my mom was out, so there were enough rooms. I specifically asked about their internship at the company later on and found out that Dominic Hartnell's company was indeed hiring interns for the summer.And they were not going to the famous fashion company that I knew, but another technology company. On the day they went to the company, the three of them intentionally arrived earlier than Dominic Hartnell, stating that they wanted to avoid arousing suspicion. Despite my belief that maintaining a low profile was wise, they still succeeded in making me laugh, and even Dominic Hartnell couldn't resist a chuckle. It wasn't until nearly nine o'clock that I departed with Dominic Hartnell. I had to descend the stairs to retrieve the package that had been delivered yesterday.
