Love’s Final Reveal

Lola looked at the half bowl of vegetable soup in front of her and thought how laughable the situation was.

I never crossed her mind that she would one day share a bowl of vegetable soup with Dominick.

At that moment, the small cabin was nearly pitch black, with just a sliver of light seeping through the window cracks.

It looked like it was about to get dark outside, and the cabin was becoming increasingly dim.

Dominick seemed to understand what Lola was thinking and asked, “Are you scared?”

She shook her head lightly. “No, I’m not.”

Dominick suddenly reached out in the darkness, grabbed Lola’s wrist, and gently pulled her into his arms.

Lola was startled and tried to struggle, but he held her down.

Dominick said, “Stay still

“I’m injured. If you aggravate my wound, how are we going to escape?”

As his husky voice sounded above Lola’s head, it gave her a sense of security.

…tvou

She replied, “Dominick, I know you’re injured, so I won’t hold it against you. But you need to let go of me first!”

The room was somewhat chilly, and Lola wasn’t sure if it was because Dominick had a fever or because he was naturally warm, but she felt a continuous warmth emanating from him.

Her delicate heart found a moment of peace under the influence of warmth and safety. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Yet, Lola understood clearly that this embrace didn’t belong to her.

“Let go of me,” she demanded in a deep voice,

Dominick, however, had no intention of letting Lola go and gently pulled her closer into his arms.

He asked, “Stop resisting, okay? It’s chilly, and sleeping this way keeps us warmer. Otherwise, you might get sick.”

Dominick then gently patted Lola’s back and urged, “Go to sleep now. I know you haven’t slept well these past few days.

“You need to rest well so you have the strength to escape with me, understand?”

Lola pushed against him with her hand that was in between their bodies for a moment, but then she gave up.

She felt that Dominick’s words indeed made some sense. In a situation where even their lives were at stake, they shouldn’t quibble over

After a long while, when the cabin was so quiet that they could hear each other’s heartbeat, Lola whispered, “Dominick.

“I just want to understand You’re clearly very good–looking and wealthy. Why do you have to cling to me?

“You could obviously have a better life and find someone more remarkable. We barely know each other. Why are you so set on

me?

When Dominick didn’t answer for a long while, Lola lifted her head to look at him

She couldn’t see what Dominick was doing in the dim light, but somehow, she felt his affectionate gaze on her.

Lola then awkwardly turned her head away and thought. He must have fallen asleep again. Well, he’s injured, has a high fever, and lacks proper medicine and nutrition. It’s normal for him to pass out.”

Just when she thought Dominick wouldn’t respond, he suddenly said seriously. “Because I like you.”

At that, Lola felt her chest tightened. This wasn’t the first time Dominick had said this.

Although she couldn’t see it, she could imagine Dominick’s expression when he uttered those words.

942 PM

Chapter 115

Lola didn’t react as she had before. Instead, she pretended to be asleep, lying motionless in his arms.

“Sleep well,” Dominick said as he softly patted Lola’s back.

“We found no clues in Enchanted Eden, but… Mr. Lewis, I did find something in the call records you asked me to investigate. Brian looked around cautiously to ensure that no one was eavesdropping before continuing. “After Jenna left the office, she did. make a call. I checked the records and found out the call was to…the Richardson family of Talondria.”

He thought Ethan would be surprised by the news. However, Brian was taken aback when Ethan showed no sign of surprise as if he had already expected this outcome,

“Mr. Lewis, what do you think? Brian asked.

Ethan frowned slightly and realized that he could only speculate that it was the Richardson family based on these clues.

But this was just a speculation. Ethan knew that the elderly couple from the Richardson family were cunning and calculating. Even if he confronted them directly, they would deny everything.

Moreover, acting rashly would only reveal that they knew what the Richardson family had done, possibly provoking them to take drastic actions against Lola and Dominick.

Ethan then felt a headache coming on. To figure out how to resolve this matter and save them, he had to trace the leads carefully, uncovering clues bit by bit.

He believed that as long as something had been done, there would always be a trace.

Ethan said, “I’m coming with you to Enchanted Eden. I refuse to believe there are absolutely no clues.”

Brian nodded slightly. “Okay, I’ll bring a few more guys with us. I’ll keep the same story for Mr. Mason Lewis and Mrs. Jasmine Lewis, saying Ms. Lewis went on a trip with you.”

Ethan’s face was exceptionally grim as he nodded slightly. “Alright. Got it.”

It was hard to tell how much time had passed, but Lola hadn’t slept this comfortably in days.

“You’re awake? Were you sleeping together?”

“Inform those outside that Dominick is awake!”

When Lola heard the sudden noise outside, she immediately woke up and climbed out of bed.

“He’s…he’s not awake yet! Dominick isn’t awake! Don’t say that!” Her first reaction was to stop them from telling the higher–ups that Dominick had woken up.

“It’s too late. They’ve already seen me,” Dominick’s voice suddenly came from beside her as he walked over unhurriedly. looking relatively calm.

Lola froze momentarily. “Are you crazy? How could you be so careless and get caught? Did they do a surprise inspection? Didn’t I tell you what time they would come?”

Dominick pondered for a moment and nodded slightly. “Well…sort of.”

Lola was very worried. “Why were you discovered so suddenly? Weren’t you supposed to lay still in bed? What did you do?”

She looked as if she were lecturing him. Dominick, a man nearly six feet three inches tall, lowered his head slightly as if he knew he had done something wrong.

He said. “I thought you looked cute, so I kissed you. But don’t worry. I just kissed your forehead”

Lola was rendered speechless and thought, “I have never been this speechless. Is Dominick out of his mind

She sighed, “Dominick, are you insane? Don’t you understand the situation we’re in

“Why did you do that? They already know you awake. The higher–ups will find out soon, and you’ll be in danger!”

Dominick then smirked slightly at her words. Though Lola didn’t say it out loud, she still cared about him deep down.

He said, “I know I was wrong. I’ll hold back next time”

Lola frowned, “Next time?”

“Boss, he’s awake! He’s really awake! I saw it with my own eyes. We finally have something to report. Are we safe now? No more

Viper’s expression didn’t change at all upon hearing this. He remained just as serious.

He retorted, “Cut the crap. I’m already annoyed as it is!”
