Chapter 134
Because Marissa had injured her knee, Dominick personally took her and Grayson to Vanderbilt Manor. He had originally planned to stay at the company that night, but he rarely stayed over there.
Dominick returned to the room. It had originally been his own room. After he married Paisley, it was decorated as their marital home.
Later, because Paisley was uncomfortable living there, they moved to their previous villa and lived there together for four years.
Since the divorce, Dominick rarely returned to this place. He mostly stayed at the company or in hotels
At that moment, Dominick looked at the furnishings in the room and felt both familiar and strange. His gaze swept over the photo frame on the desk, and a hint of tenderness appeared on his frosty face.
It was a family photo of the three of them. Paisley sat in a chair, holding the newborn Grayson in her arms. Dominick stood behind them, his hand gently resting on Paisley’s shoulder.
At that time.
time, they all wore smiles. Those genuine smiles confirmed that they had once had sweet moments.
Dominick thought. ‘But when did it start to change! Who changed? Dominick did not believe he had changed. He loved Paisley, and he was very clear about that. So he could not understand why they ended up in divorce.
A knock sounded at the door, and Dominick composed himself and walked over to open it.
Marissa stood outside, holding a plate of exquisite snacks. “Dom, I saw you didn’t eat much for dinner, and I was worried about your stomach, so I brought you some desserts”
Marissa held up the plate, looking up at Dominick. The burgundy slip dress she wore looked particularly alluring under the light. Before coming to find Dominick, Marissa had dressed up and even put on makeup that made her look pure
Dominick looked at the plate and did not want to eat. However, he did not want to dismiss Marissa’s kindness, so he reached out to take it. “Thank

Just as Marissa turned around, Dominick’s voice came from behind. “Wait a moment.”
Marissa’s eyes lit up, and she turned around excitedly, looking at Dominick with anticipation.
But Dominick only handed her a piece of clothing “Wear this. Be careful not to catch a cold”
“Uh..okay.” Marissa awkwardly took the clothing and put it on, her last glimmer of hope fading away. “Dom, good night.”
“Good night” Dominick replied.
Just as Dominick was closing the door, Marissa saw a photo frame hidden behind the door in his hand, and the photo was of him, Paisley, and Grayson.

photo, it felt as if Paisley was smiling at her, saying, “What if I really let go of all my grudges and followed your advice
Marissa angrily thought. No way. Absolutely not. I have waited for so many years. I will not allow Paisley to come back and take my place!
In an instant. Marissa felt all her rationality drain away. She quickly returned to her room and dialed her cousin, Jeremy Prescott. “Come out tomorrow. I need to talk in you” At the same time, Marissa shouted in her heart, 1 want Paisley dead”
