Chapter 266 Did You Sneak out Last Night
Lia sald seriously, "He's not that kind of guy. We've been talking for
awhile, and we live in the scity. | invited him to visit my studio, and he turned
It down. | even asked him out for coffee, but he said he was too busy.
"If he were screepy old pery, he would've jumped at the chance to meet up. I'm pretty good at reading
people, so don't takefor a fool."
Bella didn't comment
Lla was better at judging people than she was. Even though Lia's last two boyfriends had been scared off thanks
to Leonard's meddling, neither of them. had any real flaws. When the yarn Lia was using for the scarf ran out,
she didn't hesitate to ask Bella to help organize the new batch.
As Bella looked at the different colored balls of yarn in her hands, a strange curiosity sparked within her.

She liked trying new things. Over the years, she had picked up a variety of hobbies, from drawing to piano.
However, knitting a scarf? That was completely foreign territory.
Almost as if Lia could read her mind, she handed Bella two knitting needles. "Give it a shot. If you pick the right
colors, your scarf won't be any worse than the ones from the store. And you know Dominic wouldn't like anything
too bright."
Bella took the needles, pretending to be indifferent though her concentration gave her away. "I'm just messing
around. Who said I'm knitting it for him? His ties and belts are worth more than | can imagine. He probably
wouldn't even glance at my scrappy scarf."
Lia scoffed. "Yeah, right. If you're not giving it to him, then who else? You don't exactly have anyone else in
mind."
By 5:00 pm, Bella had parked up her half-knitted scarf along with the remaining yarn, bringing them back to
Miller Manor.
After dinner, she immediately holed herself up in her room to continue knitting
Knitting a decent scarf turned out to be harder than she had expected, and it quickly replaced her usual evening
routine of reading
Seeing how strangely she was acting, Dominic grew suspicious. He called Sylvia over. "What did she do this
afternoon?"
Sylvia thought for a moment. "She went to Ms. Lawson's place, | think. They're close, so it's pretty normal for
them to hang out together."
Domine still felt something was off. He went upstairs and stopped in front of Bella's room. "Want to take the dog
for a walk?"
Bella quickly yanked the blanket over her half-knitted scarf, glanced at the light snow falling outside the window,
and said, "Not today. It's snowing. You go ahead, but cback soon."
He didn't respond, and after a moment, she heard his footsteps fade down the hallway.
Bella let out a sigh of reliet, carefully locked the door, and continued knitting. She stayed up late working on it
until she eventually fell asleep.
The next morning, she made her way downstairs while yawning and bumped into Dominic, who didn't seem too
pleased. Not noticing his expression, she greeted him as usual, "Morning"

He set a glass of milk down in front of her with a thud. "Did you sneak out to commit robbery last night or
something?""
s pretty good..."
Bella froze. "No... | stayed up late watching a show. There's a new show out, and it's pretty Dominic saw right
through her lie. "You don't even like watching shows. You're more into those weird, boring books." Weird and
boring?
Bella thought about the books on her shelves. Most of them were related to medicine, with a few focused on
anatomy How were they weird? Sure, they weren't everyone's cup of tea, but it made sense to love what you
did, right? So, in his She didn't bother responding as she was still a bit groggy, so she just focused on her
breakfast. Her mind had already shifted to the surgeries she was scheduled for at the hospital later that day.
eyes, she was just soddball?
However, Dominic seemed to lose his appetite. With a grim expression, he stood up and headed toward the
entryway.
Bella snapped out of her thoughts just in tto call after him. "It's pretty cold today. Don't forget to wear a coat
and take it easy on the road "
His expression softened slightly. As he walked out the door, he tossed back, "You're the one reminding me-don't
forget it yourself."
