Pudding slipped out of the leash in Ethan's hand and obediently sat beside Dominie. Seeing this, Ethan realized
that Dominic was Pudding's owner. Curious about the connection between Bella and Dominic, he couldn't help

Without needing to be told, Dominic noticed the keys in Ethan's hand and snatched them away. "You can leave
now. This isn't your concern anymore."
Frowning, he felt dissatisfied with Dominic's attitude but said nothing as he turned to walk away. It felt as though
