Love’s Final Reveal

“What are you saying? I don’t understand a word. Stop it and go back to rest!” Scott responded coldly, his impatience evident in his eyes.

Emil said nothing more and turned to leave.

Scott watched Fmil’s figure until he completely disappeared down the hallway.

Scott breathed a sigh of relief and glanced meaningfully towards Lola’s room before leaving

Dominick and Ethan hid in the shadows, waiting for the surroundings to quiet down before emerging from the garden.

“This is getting interesting. Honestly, I didn’t get it.” Ethan brushed off the dust from his clothes.

Dominick’s paze fell on the room on the third floor where the light was still on, Ignoring Ethan’s words.

“You…” Ethan understood what Dominick was thinking and sighed softly.

“Should I wait for you in your room? Feel free to watch a little longer if you want.”

Ethan’s unexpected response surprised Dominick.

His words implied that he trusted Dominick not to disturb Lola’s rest late at night

Dominick nodded slightly, not saying much.

The weather wasn’t great today, with no moon in sight, and the chilly wind blowing intermittently.

Dominick only had on a pajama and couldn’t bear the cold, but he had no intention of leaving

The fact that the light was still on indicated that Lola hadn’t slept yet.

It was about to rain.

Dominick couldn’t forget how she used to torture herself on rainy nights back then,

Every rainy night, she would suffer in agony.

Now she wouldn’t do that anymore, hopefully sleeping peacefully every night.

Originally, Dominick intended to resolve the misunderstanding with Lola, but now he felt it might not be necessary.

After all, Lola’s current life seemed to be going well.

Dominick turned slowly, realizing that him lingering here for too long wouldn’t be good for Lola.

“Mr. Sinclair?”

Dominick thought he had an illusion when he heard the voice he longed so much for to hear every night.

He was afraid that if he turned too quickly, the girl would vanish, so he turned around cautiously.

Lola was wearing a white nightgown with a blanket draped over her.

“Mr. Sinclair, what are you doing here?”

Dominick pressed his lips into a thin line. The last time they met like this, it seemed they were still on the island.

“Just wandering around,” he said casually, refreshing his memories alone.

Lola spoke after some hesitation, thanking Dominick for dealing with the rumors after careful consideration. “Um… Thank you for helping me

with those rumors.

“Actually…”

“You seem to like thanking me a lot,” Dominick interrupted Lola.

Lola was slightly stunned. Indeed, she had only met Dominick a few times and had already thanked him a couple of times.

“…” Lola felt guilty.

“Well, in the future, there’s no need to thank me for these things. Just remember that it’s only right I do those things for you, so just accept my help

happily.”

Lola was stunned again. She couldn’t believe that the usually aloof Dominick would say such things.

But could she really handle this special treatment from Dominick?

Lola lowered her gaze slightly, and she was silent for a moment before saying, “Mr. Sinclair, you really didn’t have to do this.

“I don’t understand why you’re helping me. Maybe it’s because of my brother, or maybe it’s for some other reason, but it definitely isn’t because you’re chivalrous,

“I know you’re not the kind of person who likes to meddle in others‘ affairs, and you probably dislike getting involved in troublesome matters, but what I’m causing you…isn’t it all troublesome?

“I know saying this may sound heartless, but besides thank you, I really don’t know what else to say to you for everything you’ve done for

me.”

Dominick’s promises and special treatment toward her left her pleasantly surprised. She didn’t know how to deal with this special treatment.

The less she knew about how good he was, the

more she wanted to escape because

she was more afraid of the unknown.

situation yet, but Dominick suddenly appeared in her world, seeming to understand her every time and

She hadn’t even figured out her own s risking himself for her.

The more he did this, the more Lola felt there might have been something between them, and the more she suspected that her parents and Scott were deceiving her.

“Lola…” Dominick gently called her name.

He would rather Lola berated him than her saying things this way.

Her aloofness made Dominick’s heart ache upcontrollably.

“Lola?” It was t

the second time Lola heard him call her in such a tender tone.

He didn’t address her as Ms. Lewis in a formal way, but instead called her Layla so gently, as if she was someone of great importance to him,

Lola shook her head, feeling the headache intensify as she pondered over the way he called her name.

“Mr. Sinclair, I don’t know what your motives are for helping me, but starting today, I hope you won’t do this anymore, because we are not

that close to each other.”

Dominick couldn’t help but take a step forward. His woody scent was in the air, and Lola felt the same sense of familiarity on him again.

“I can stop calling you like this, and I can change anything that makes you uncomfortable..

“Scott told you that our frequent contact might cause trouble for me, didn’t he? It’s okay, as l’in not afraid of people gossiping about me. Rumors don’t affect me.

“Don’t listen to Scott’s nonsense. I don’t need your gratitude, and i don’t need you to worry about these things. Whatever happens, I can

handle it.

“Is that okay with you?”

Dominick softened his tone, willing to do anything for Lola. Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

Lola’s chest tightened, as if something was trying to break free.

Dominick, who was usually aloof, seemed uninterested in everything in his gaze but he was giving her such a special treatment.

Lola almost couldn’t breathe from the pressure in her heart, gently shaking her head and stepping back. “No, we are not from the same world, and I owe you too much that I can’t repay. It’s better that I’m not indebted to you.

“Mr. Sinclair, thank you for what happened before. As for the future, no matter what, you don’t need to worry about me anymore.”

that, Lola turned and

Dominick’s warmth faded bit by bit from his face. It turned out she still resisted him like this.

When Dominick returned, Ethan had almost finished a bottle of wine.

“Why did you take so long to come back? You made me wait for so long. Well, men are all the same.”

Dominick gave him a look, and Ethan stopped saying anything else.

“Just kidding. Why are you so serious?

“Oh, right, let’s talk business. Now we can confirm our suspicion that those two indeed know each other from before, but I can’t figure out what relationship they have. Did you notice anything? Tell me quickly.”
