Chapter 454 Just Make It Work

Dominic leaned in and pressed a soft kiss to Bella's cheek. The touch startled her, and she let out a faint, uneasy hum, her delicate brows knitting together in her sleep. A rare flicker of amusement crossed his eyes, though it quickly faded. Dominic was never the type to display his emotions openly. With a steady hand, he brushed away the furrow in her brow, smoothing it gently before slipping out of bed as quietly as he could. The moment the door clicked shut, Bella's eyes fluttered open, a hint of confusion in her gaze. "So, even Dominic has these little moments when I'm asleep…" she thought. Once he left for work, Bella picked up her phone and called Sean. She kept it short. "No more games, and thank you for the help." Sean, ever the smooth talker, replied in his usual playful tone, "Well, congrats on getting what you wanted. Honestly, though, I was kind of rooting for you to fail. Then I might've had a shot." Bella chuckled, brushing it off as another one of his jokes.
