Chapter 33 Setting Isadora Up
In the past, Cecilia revolved her entire life around Dominic. She thought that this was the fundamental principle of a couple's interaction.
She respected him, thinking only in this way would he respect her.
Now, she knew that was not true. Some people would only become more insatiable.
Dominic remained silent with a cold face.
According to Cecilia's past personality, whenever he was a little unhappy, she would actively please him and comfort him. Now, he was waiting for Cecilia to lower her stance.
However, Cecilia said, "If that's the case, then maybe we shouldn't get married."
Dominic stared straight at her.
He never expected her to bring up not getting married again.
Cecilia didn't care about his emotions. She said, "Marriage involves two families. I don't want to make your whole family unhappy because of me. Today, I accidentally stepped on Penelope's dress, embarrassing her. She must hate me for it."
"Cecilia, you didn't use to say things like not wanting to get married." Dominic's tone was noticeably off, but because Cecilia used "marriage" as a threat, he had to endure it again.
"I don't know why, but I feel like your family doesn't really like me," Cecilia said softly.
"How could you think that way? My parents are very pleased with you, can't you feel it?" Dominic was quite agitated.
Cecilia didn't respond.
Dominic suppressed his temper. "Don't overthink it; my parents really like you. My sister is a bit stubborn, but she genuinely accepts you."
"Really?" Cecilia asked somewhat incredulously.
"Sure. Even if you don't trust my parents, you should trust me. We've been together for so many years; when have I ever lied to you?" Dominic pretended to be angry.
Never lied to her?
Cecilia could now face Dominic and all his insincerity calmly.
"Don't say you don't want to get married again in the future; it hurts me." Dominic reached out and pulled Cecilia into his arms.
Cecilia endured physical discomfort and lay in his embrace.
At this moment, both of them were lost in their own thoughts.
Dominic was thinking about how much reputation the family had lost because of Cecilia during this time. After Cecilia married him, he would see how he could torment her endlessly!
While Cecilia was thinking about how long she had to continue this act with him.
She had to admit being in Dominic's embrace made her feel nauseous.
They embraced for a long time.
Dominic seemed to have adjusted his emotions, gently releasing Cecilia from his embrace.
At that moment, there was a deep affection on his face.
In fact, she really admired Dominic.
After all, many times, she found it hard to continue the act with him, but Dominic could pretend so realistically.
"Let's go, let's go to the hall. As the host, you can't ignore the guests." Dominic said considerately.
Cecilia nodded.
At that moment, Isadora, who had been planning some mischief all evening, walked out of the hall.
Cecilia suddenly reached out and hugged Dominic's neck.
Dominic was taken aback.
Cecilia rarely took the initiative to do anything.
And he rarely made any intimate gestures towards Cecilia.
To him, women like Cecilia, who were always the same, even if they were beautiful, didn't attract him. He always liked wild, sexy, and even violent women.
So, although he seemed to respect Cecilia greatly, in reality, he just wasn't interested.
Only women like Cecilia would think that he loved her, and that was why he didn't approach her easily.
However, at that moment, because of Cecilia's sudden closeness, he felt a sudden flutter in his heart.
Cecilia planted a kiss on his face very intimately.
Dominic smiled, "Cecilia, you actually kissed me first."
In fact, they had kissed before, but it was always he who kissed Cecilia first.
Just perfunctory kisses.
"I apologize for today's incident, for embarrassing your family and your sister." Cecilia looked shy, "Don't you like it?"
"How could I not? My heart is racing when you touch me." Dominic placed Cecilia's hand on his chest.
Dominic's heart was indeed racing.
This was the first time Dominic had felt a spark of attraction toward Cecilia.
He had always seen her as a tool to achieve his life goals, but at that moment, he couldn't help but lean toward Cecilia's cheek and kiss her lips.
Cecilia endured it.
She saw Isadora looking furious, watching her walk into the hall.
Cecilia was only trying to provoke Isadora.
Now that she had succeeded, she didn't need to endure Dominic's kisses anymore.
Just as she was about to push him away, her eyes met a sharp gaze staring straight at her.
It made her feel inexplicably guilty.
She snapped back to reality.
The moment Dominic tried to deepen the kiss, she pushed him away.
Dominic felt a bit regretful.
He had kissed Cecilia before.
For some reason, at that moment, he felt a strong desire.
Perhaps because they were getting married, Dominic had intentionally abstained from sex for a while to avoid trouble, but now he couldn't bear it.
He couldn't tell if he wanted to make love or just desired Cecilia.
In any case, he wanted sex, so at that moment, Dominic leaned in again to kiss Cecilia.
Cecilia blocked Dominic's approach and said, "Don't do that; many people might see us."
"We've been together for so many years, and you're still so shy." Dominic wouldn't really force Cecilia, so he had to endure it himself. "Anyway, we're getting married in a month, on our wedding night, I must..."
Cecilia really didn't want to hear another word, but she had to go along with him for now.
She pretended to be shy, "Let's go back to the hall now."
"Okay."
They returned to the hall together.
The hall was still bustling with many people, making it lively.
This was probably the most grand and festive birthday banquet for a lady in Serenovia City's history!
Cecilia also helped her parents entertain the guests.
Naturally, Dominic also played the role of a co-host.
At 10:30 p.m.
Seraphina timed it perfectly.
She moved through the hall and very persuasively gathered all the people Cecilia wanted to organize together.
"I want to invite everyone to go sing and drink at the nightclub later. Although we're not childhood friends, we've watched each other grow up. It's rare for us to gather like this; let's have a good time together." Seraphina was very enthusiastic.
"Sure." Cecilia was the first to agree with Seraphina.
Naturally, Dominic was somewhat surprised.
Cecilia never liked such lively gatherings, never drank, and never went to nightclubs.
Now, she suddenly agreed without hesitation!
