Crossroads
Chapter 81

Chapter 81 

Stephanie wondered, ‘Where is Dominick?” 

She opened the door, walked into the bedroom, and put down the bowl of hot oatmeal. When she turned around to look, she found that there was no one on the bed, 

A half bottle of IV drip was hanging on the iron shelf beside the bed, and the potion inside was dripping down from the needle…. 

“Dominick asked me to go downstairs and bring him oatmeal… He must have taken the opportunity to slip away.” 

Stephanie was a little annoyed. She immediately turned around to walk towards the study. 

“Are you so eager to know what’s hidden in my study?” 

However, when Stephanie held the doorknob of the study, a cold male voice came from behind her. She could hear the suppressing anger in  sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ (F)indNƟvᴇl.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

his tone. 

She turned around and looked at Dominick with a puzzled look on her face. 

The next second, she suddenly came to her senses, stepped forward, and said angrily, “Yes! I want to sneak into the study tonight while you are sick to see what kind of evil you are hiding.” 

“You..” Dominick was stunned. 

There were relatively few servants at East Villa, and no others were on the corridor of the second floor. The two of them stared at each other. 

Without saying anymore, Dominick suddenly turned around and went back to his bedroom. 

Stephanie stood there. Watching him go away, she felt angrier and a little aggrieved. 

‘I came to ask you to go back to bedroom and rest. 

Stephanie didn’t say this to Dominick because when he saw her standing outside his study, his first reaction was to suspect her. 

She always thought she and he were not in the same world, 

Except for the difference in status, he was too vigilant and suspicious. However, she preferred to keep things simple. 

The maid came in and cleared the iron rack and infusion apparatus beside the bed. Dominick sat in the small living room of the bedroom, looking at the bowl of oatmeal on the table. 

Stephanie went straight into the bathroom, washed up quickly, then crawled into bed and fell asleep, completely ignoring Dominick. 

Dominick had a high fever, but she was the busiest one. He even withdrew the 

e needle before finishing the IV drip. 

She was in a very irritable mood. She hugged the quilt and huddled beside the bed. After all, she was sleepy and fell asleep quickly. 

It was quiet at 11 p.m., which was not too late. Dominick walked to the door and wanted to go back to the study. However, he stopped and looked back at Stephanie on the bed 

He frowned slightly. His high fever had gone, but these medicines made him a little dizzy. 

After thinking for a while, Dominic simply turned off the lights in the bedroom, only leaving a bedside lamp on. He went to bed, lifted the quilt, and lay down. 

Chapter 81 

Stephanie lay on the other side of the bed with her back to him. Dominick naturally pulled her into his arms. 

She struggled in his arms almost instinctively. Dominick hugged her a little harder. She gradually gave in and seemed to be used to his dominant behavior.- 

Stephanie was in a bad mood tonight. Even when she fell asleep, she 

he still ha 

had a straight face. 

The bedside lamp was dim. Dominick looked at her quietly, feeling inexplicably amused, 

He knew that Stephanie might have just gone to the study to look for him, but he was…too nervous. 

He didn’t want her to know those things. 

Dominick caressed her eyebrows gently. Maybe because it was a little itchy, Stephanie turned her head and rubbed her face against his chest as if to tell him not to disturb her sleep. Then, she unfolded her furrowed eyebrows and continued to sleep soundly. 

Dominick’s eyes lit up when he saw her actions, and there was a faint smile on his stern face. 

He stopped teasing her, but his gaze fell on her rosy lips… 

Dominick lowered his head. His breathing intertwined with Stephanie’s. He softened his breathing as he moved closer to her. 

Stephanie’s long eyelashes quivered slightly. She was pretending to be asleep, but Dominick didn’t notice that. 

Her heartbeat was a little fast. Even though her eyes were closed, she was still very nervous. 

And she felt very strange. When he kissed her, she didn’t have resistance.. 

However, as soon as Dominick touched her soft lips, he seemed to remember something and stopped. 

Stephanie’s heart was chaotic all night long. 

She felt a little lost and frustrated but angrier.. 

Dominick teased her first, but she was the one who felt uncasy, 

Stephanie really wanted to punch him in the chest and kick him, but if she did, she would expose that she was pretending to be asleep. By that time, she would only embarrass herself. 

She slept uneasily and kept tossing and turning in Dominick’s arms. 

So was Dominick. He touched her forehead several times to make sure whether she had been infected by his fever. 

The phone rang. 

Stephanie couldn’t sleep well because she was in a mood at midnight, and early in the morning, someone called and disturbed her sleep. 

“Hello.” Reaching out to pick up the mobile phone on the bedside, Stephanie answered it in displeasure. Her tone was dripping with 

resentment. 

The man on the other end of the call was startled for a moment and then said apologetically, “Steffi, it’s me.” 

Stephanie didn’t sleep well and felt dulled. She just felt that the voice was familiar, casually put the phone to her ear, and mumbled, “What’s up?”

Chapter 81 

“Who’s that?” Dominick, who was lying beside her, suddenly asked. 

Stephanie opened her eyes and found that she was so close to Dominick, and his hand was naturally placed on her chest. 

Ahl She was startled. 

“Take your hand off mel” Stephanie completely woke up. 

“Steffi, what happened to you?” 

81% 

Stephanie’s scream worried the person on the other end of the phone. The person asked anxiously, “Where are you now? Do you want me to 

come over… 

Dominick recognized the voice. It was Kevin’s. He could hear the nervousness and worry in his voice through the phone. 

He suddenly turned over and leaned over Stephanie. 

“You… What do you want to do?” Stephanie was frightened. 

“Do something a couple should do,” Dominick deliberately lowered his head and whispered in Stephanie’s ear in a hoarse voice. 

On the other end of the phone, Kevin’s face turned pale as he listened to their conversation. 

The next second, Dominick hung up the phone impatiently. Kevin heard the mechanical beeping sound…. 

“Kevin!” 

Outside the gate of an aristocratic kindergarten in Havencrest, a man clutched his mobile phone with a gloomy face. He had just sent his daughter here and suddenly remembered something, so he called Stephanie…. 

“Kevin.” 

A woman walked quickly towards him in a hurry. She called out twice, and Kevin finally came to his senses to look up at the woman. 

Kevin was stunned upon recognizing Jessica. He stared at her for a few seconds and suddenly smiled mockingly. 

Jessica looked like Stephanie, 

“Ms. Carter, we don’t seem to be very familiar,” Kevin said indifferently. 

Jessica looked a little unhappy when she heard his tone. Since her debut, everyone had been kind to her, but recently, because of Dominick… 

She held back her displeasure, put on a polite smile, and said, “Mr. Nelson, we may have had some misunderstandings before. I came here to see you today…” 

Kevin had a sneer and gave no heed to Jessica’s flattery. 

He interrupted her, “Jessica, I’m not Dominick. Your advances don’t work for me. I’m not interested in defective plastic surgery products.” 

Jessica’s smile froze when she heard the latter part of his words. 

Kevin narrowed his eyes and glared at her tace. For the past three years, he could see it every day when he came home….. 

The flirty 

conversation between Dominick and Stephanie echoed in his mind. His face was livid, and he felt a sense of depression.

Chapter 81 

Kevin turned around, not wanting to see Jessica, and walked directly toward the black Ferrari parked on the right side of the road. 

Seeing his ignorance, Jessica became anxious. She ran over and grabbed his arm, regardless of her gentle image. 

“Kevin, I really have something important to come to you for today.” 

“Take your hand off my arm.” 

Kevin was annoyed, especially when he saw Jessica’s plastic surgery face, which was so similar to Stephanie’s. 

“Kevin, you know my current situation. I just want to find someone to be my 

backer…”

Kevin lost his patience and pushed her away. “Ms. Carter, you want a backer. Then why did you come to me? Don’t forget, I am Dominick’s cousin.” He glared at Jessica when he spoke. 

Stephanie married his cousin, and Kevin couldn’t accept this fact. 

“Have you ever thought about why Dominick happened to sleep with Stephanie when he came back for the first time after six years abroad? Do you think this is really a coincidence?” Jessica shouted at Kevin anxiously. 

Her words stunned Kevin. 

“What do you mean?” 

He stared at Jessica. 

Kevin’s expression suddenly changed. “Jessica, you know something, right?” 

Seeing his nervous expression, Jessica instantly calmed down. She lost her previous impatience, put on airs, and changed the subject. 

“I heard that your daughter is not very close to your wife, Claire…” 

Kevin didn’t understand why she suddenly mentioned Claire. In fact, his daughter was afraid of Claire. 

“Jessica, you’d better not play tricks in front of me,” he warned in a 

t in a low voice. 

Jessica stood up straight and looked straight at him. “Kevin, I told you I just want a backer. 

“Actually, you still care about Stephanie, right? 

“If Claire had not come back with her child. everything is different.” 

i would have kept your marriage with Stephanie, and you would still be her husband, but now, 

Kevin’s face became sullen after listening to Jessica’s words. 

Jessica pulled his tie with a smile. Then, she stood on tiptoes, leaned closer to him, and whispered in his ear intimately. 

Kevin, feeling displeased, wanted to push her away unhappily, but what she said froze him. 

“Kevin, I can tell you the truth of everything.. 

Jessica lowered her voice and said each word slowly, “Dominick started setting up a trap to steal Stephanie a few years ago…”
