Crushed Affections (Dominic and Bella)

Chapter 242 Short-Sighted

On the dining table, Dominic suddenly asked, "Do you really not have anything to spend on?"

Bella was slightly confused. "That's right. I'm in the hospital every day, and once the weekend arrives, I'd just go out with Lia for a meal and fill my car with petrol. How much could I possibly spend?"

For a moment, he was speechless. After giving it some thought, he said, "You're living in a villa and driving a luxurious car, yet your monthly spending is so little. Do you think anyone would believe you? I didn't give you that card for you to keep it in your purse. You should spend the money inside. "You can eat something good with Lia. The more expensive the meal, the better. After your meal, you can go shopping and buy whatever you want. Don't you know how to spend money?"

It was only then did Bella understand what he was talking about. He must have said that because she hadn't used the card he gave her.

She said jokingly, "My spending has always been like that. If you spoil me now, what am I supposed to do when I find myself alone? How will I survive it?

He responded in the same playful tone and said, "Don't worry. If you really do end up alone, I'll give you an exorbitant breakup fee and make sure you'll be comfortable for the rest of your life.

"So, you can just relax and spend my money. All your clothes in the closet aren't even a lifth of the clothes I have. Why embarrassing me."

Bella pursed her lips. "So, you're saying that I'm with you because I'm after that breakup fee? That deal sounds like a steal for me, so why don't we break up now? You can give me the breakup fee now too." With that said, she reached her hand out toward her, but be slapped her hand back.

"Fuck off. You're so short-sighted. If we don't break up and stay with each other until the end, half of Miller Group will be yours. A breakup fee is nothing compared to that."

Bella wanted to tease him further, so she retorted, "I'm not that ambitious. I'll only feel secure if I have the money in my hands.

"Aren't you just teasing me with the bigger picture by asking me to wait and stay until the very end? At the end of the day, we might not end up together. And even if I did receive the breakup fee, I would've wasted my youth.

"My youth is priceless. Why should I waste it on you if I could just save myself the time now?

Dominic immediately threw his spoon down in anger and looked at her with a dark gaze. It was almost as if he wanted to tear her apart right there and then.

Bella felt a bit nervous and

and said, "I was just jolting." Why are you taking it so seriously? Eat your food."

Dominic didn't move. "Why am I begging you to spend my money? I must have too much time on my hands."

With that said, he got up and stormed up the stairs. It was clear that he was upset.

Bella quietly took note that she couldn't joke around with Dominic. She wouldn't dare to do

so next t

time.

She brought Pudding up the stairs and gently knocked on his door while coaxing, "Pudding wants to go out and play. Shall we go and walk her together?" There wasn't t any movement coming from inside as if the room was empty.

She sighed in exasperation. "I was just joking. Why can't you take a joke?"

Suddenly, the door opened, and she lost her balance. She flew forward and knocked into his chest. She could immediately smell his scent.

She rubbed her nose as she stood up straight. "Let's go and walk Pudding."

With a small breath, he asked, "Do you really think you're wasting your youth on me?"

Bella immediately shook her head heavily. "No, I don't. I've already wasted so many years, so what's a few more? I'm already 25, so my youth is already almost over."

His expression didn't change, and h

This gaze remained heavy. She didn't know if he was satisfied with her answer or not.

After bringing Pudding outside, Dominic received a call, and he was on it for about 30 minutes

Once he ended the call, he immediately saw Bella and Pudding waiting for him nearby. A smile made its way onto his face, and even the b seemed to feel a little gentler.
