Chapter 253 Good Looks Can Cloud Your Judgement
Before long, Bella's bedroom door was gently pushed open. She heard his footsteps stop at the doorway, likely
assuming she was already asleep. He quirtly closed the door and left. Bella pulled the blanket aside, staring
blankly at the ceiling. So, it was true... Heartache could indeed cause sleepless nights.
The next morning, when she went downstairs, Dominic was already gone. It was as if he hadn't chat all
the night before.
Skipping breakfast, Bella headed to Lia's new stuto help oversee the renovation. Lia had been swamped
lately, and since Bella had no plans for the day, she offered her help.
In the afternoon, Dominic called Bella. This time, she answered.
His tone betrayed no hint of noticing her disappointment. He merely informed her they should have dinner

with dust from the construction site, Bella couldn't help but think of the glamorous woman always by his side.
She didn't feel like going to dinner at all..
As dinner tapproached, she texted Dominic, saying she wouldn't be going. After that, she immediately
switched off her phone.
Back et Lia's studio, she joined a few of the employees in ordering takeout. Surrounded by people her age and in
such a simple setting, she felt more at ease. Unlike when she was with Dominic, where she always felt out of
place.
As they laughed and chatted over dinner, Dominic's car suddenly pulled up outside the studio.
Lia nudged Bella's waist with her cutlery, teasing, "Your troublemaker's here. You deal with him because I'm
afraid | might lose my temper and yell at him."
Bella glanced out the window, frowning. She couldn't brush off the faint dust stains on her light jeans. She also
had no intention of going anywhere with him looking like this.
His sudden appearance caught her off guard.
She remained seated, unwilling to face him. However, he entered the stuhimself and asked, "Why is your
phone off?"
Upon seeing Dominic, the women in the stuimmediately started fangirling over him. They even invited him to
join them for dinner.
Bella couldn't take it anymore, so she dragged him outside. "My phone died. Why are you here?"
Seeing her indifferent attitude, Dominic finally realized something was wrong. "Did | make you upset?"
Bella shook her head and replied, "No. You can go. I'll go hlater."
Her attitude clearly suggested something was wrong, but Dominie couldn't figure it out. Growing frustrated, he
snapped, "Just tellwhat's going on! Do you know how annoying it is to have to guess?"
Having bottled up her emotions for too long, Bella couldn't hold back any longer. She raised her voice as she
responded, "Did | ask you to guess? Sometimes, pretending not to notice is better, you know? If we talk about
everything, it'll just make things worse!" Realizing how much her tone had shifted, Bella quickly calmed down.
"Just go. | still have things to do with Lia."

With that, she turned and sat back down, refusing to look at him again.
Dominic didn't say anything else. With a cold expression, he drove away. He wasn't the type to beg for anyone's
forgiveness. The place fell silent. Bella pretended nothing had Lia bit her fork, muttering, "It's obviously his fault,
but why do | feel so weird now that he has left?"
