Love the Second Time Around Novel

Chapter 23 Were You Jealous

Camille Madison was a name that haunted me for the longest time.

I thought that I would never meet her again. But alas, who knew she would come back or even intended to marry Dominic.

A bitter smile formed on my lips upon that. But what was I to say? After all, they were together from the very beginning, and it would be weird if they did not end up married.

I lowered my head to hide the sadness in my eyes with my bangs. However, it seemed like it wasn’t enough, so I kept cursing myself in my mind. Liliana, get a hold of yourself, you dummy. You already knew what was going to happen five years ago, so why are you even upset?

But it was easier said than done. My heart throbbed as if it was dripping blood.

“Yes. Our parents are quite agreeable with each other. I guess it won’t be too long before it happens.”

Dominic’s soft voice exploded in my head like a clap of thunder. I was stunned for two seconds, then continued to keep my head low.

All of a sudden, he turned to me and chided, “Hey! Is there money on the floor? Your head is almost stuck to your chest, for Pete’s sake… I’m aware of your insecurities about that area, but even if you’re ashamed about it, there’s no reason to be that upset.”

I felt like a fool being deliberately dragged around and hurt by Dominic with thousands of knives. Although I was quite a heartless person myself, it didn’t mean that I could endure being ridiculed by him all the time.

Upon that thought, my heart clenched in agony.

Hence, I unapologetically kicked his wheelchair out of spite. And because I was not used to wearing heels, I couldn’t control the strength in my legs. Whoosh! In just a split second, that beautiful crystal-embellished heels flew off of my feet.

And it finally landed about five meters away from Dominic, elegantly.

I stood still with one foot bare, but Dominic’s wheelchair went in circles due to the strength of my kick.
