Chapter 221
When Dominick heard Max call him Mr. Ex the terrifying look on Dominick’s face could only be described as murderous. Even Paisley was quite surprised. In her impression, Max was a calm and reserved person, and she hadn’t expected him to have another side.
Suddenly, Paisley felt pain in her wrist as Dominick grabbed it, forcing her to face him again. “Paisley, what did you mean by that? Are you planning to have my daughter call this man ‘dad?”
Paisley couldn’t understand how Dominick had come to such a conclusion. It was ridiculous.
“What are you talking about? Max and I are just neighbors.” She explained, not because she worried Dominick might misunderstand her, but because she didn’t want him causing unnecessary trouble for Max.
“Neighbors? Do you think I would believe that? A neighbor wouldn’t take Rena out to fly kites. A neighbor wouldn’t run around for you and even bring you food!”

“If you don’t believe it, there’s nothing I can do.” Paisley was starting irritated.
Dominick stepped closer to Paisley. “In any case, I won’t allow you to have my daughter call another man ‘dad‘!”
“Dominick, stop making unreasonable scenes. I don’t have the energy to deal with your tantrums right now!” Serena was still inside, unconscious, and the anesthetic would wear off soon, and she would wake up in pain.
“Tantrums!” Dominick was frustrated, especially when he saw Max standing beside Paisley. It made him want to explode. But Paisley didn’t understand him at all and thought he was throwing a fit.
He was so angry, but when he saw the clear impatience on Paisley’s face, he couldn’t say a word. It was like seeing himself from years ago, when he had treated Paisley the same way.
Paisley pushed Dominick away, losing her last bit of patience. “Fine, you know everything you need to know. It’s late. Leave now. And, Rena’s current mental and physical state is bad, and she resents you. For her sake, don’t tell her the truth just yet.
Thinking of the way Serena avoided his gaze whenever they met, wishing to stay as far away as possible, and always calling him mean and scary, Dominick found it hard to even breath. How many stupid things had he done in the past?
Paisley didn’t say anything more to Dominick and turned to go back to the ward. After a while, she heard footsteps outside the ward, likely Dominick leaving.
Paisley finally breathed a sigh of relief, and her emotions lightened. Max handed the packed food to Maria, then sat opposite Paisley.
Thanks for today; sorry to take up your time,” Paisley expressed her gratitude to Max.
Max smiled, “It’s no problem. My people did most of the work. Besides, you’ve helped me twice, so I owe you more.”
Paisley didn’t continue with the back–and–forth of thanks and just gave a faint smile.
“By the way, I should apologize to you too. My behavior has caused you some trouble,” Max continued.
Remembering how Max had called Dominick Mr. Ex, Paisley couldn’t help but laugh, “Yeah, why a
you do that?”
Max sighed, his voice calm. “It’s nothing really. It’s just that your ex–husband’s family was bothering you, not letting you go see Rena. I saw Rena sitting in the corner being held by Maria, no one paying attention to her, and I felt sorry for her.
