Celeste POV:
The bathroom door was forcefully pushed open, startling me, who had just finished fixing my hair. I looked at him nervously and said, “You…”
Before I could finish her sentence, I saw Dominic’s bare upper body, his strong physique unexpectedly intruding into my field of vision.
Even though they almost had a child together and hadn’t seen each other for over a year, I still felt a bit uncomfortable seeing him like this. I quickly averted my gaze.
His shadow loomed over my cheek, his unique scent carrying a hint of warmth. I instinctively curled up my body, staring at him warily. “What do you want?”
Dominic slowly bent down, his deep black eyes fixed on my pale cheek as he asked, “You said you were sick before. What kind of illness did you have?”
I met his inquisitive gaze, feeling a mix of emotions.
Those eyes were not mocking, disdainful, or cold. He genuinely cared about her condition.
In that moment, my emotions were complicated. I suddenly had a thought, would Dominic feel even the slightest bit guilty about what he had done if I told him now?
“Tell him.” My wolf whispers in my mind, “Or you’ll never get another chance.”
Seeing my hesitation, Dominic lowered his body even more, our distance now within arm’s reach. His gaze seemed to see through everything.
“Well? Speak,” he urged.
I panicked, feeling extremely nervous. I licked my lips and said, “I…”
Dominic’s phone rang, it was Lila’s exclusive ringtone, and it had been my demon for over a year.
When we were together, whenever he heard that ringtone, no matter what Dominic was doing, he would rush to
Lila without hesitation.
Even now, whenever I heard that ringtone elsewhere, it made me both nervous and uneasy.
Today, that ringtone felt like a bucket of cold water being poured on me, leaving me icy cold
m head to toe.
I deserved to be hurt so many times, I was just asking for it.

Chapter 23
After answering the call, Dominic looked at me again, and my gaze had changed. The internal struggle in my heart. quietly dissipated, leaving only calmness.
I spoke again, “It’s nothing, I just caught a cold and stayed in the hospital for a few days.”
Dominic thought about the withered flowers in our new home, so he assumed I had caught a cold during those days I didn’t come back.
It had been three months since they last had contact. He had no idea I was hospitalized.
His heart still couldn’t control the slight pain, as if being pricked by a needle. He even felt a hint of guilt.
No wonder I had become so thin now.
“You…” Dominic opened his mouth, but didn’t know what to say.
Their current relationship didn’t allow him to speak words of concern.
“It’s all in the past, Dominic. We’ve reached the point where we can’t stand each other anymore. Why hold on? Let’s get a divorce, I’m really tired,” I said..
Not mentioning divorce was better, but once I brought it up, I saw his face turn dark.
I knew that he was still thinking about the scene in front of the Werewolf Civil Hall, about the smile I had flashed at Julian. His jealousy spread like wildfire.
Every time I asked for a divorce, Dominic felt that I was eager to be with Julian.
“Heh.”
I heard a cold laugh escape his throat. He held my chin and said word by word, “Whether we divorce or not, it’s up to me to decide. You haven’t suffered enough yet, so how can I bear to let you go?”
After saying that, he let go of me and went back to the bathroom, his eyes filled with boundless hatred.
Not finding any other unnecessary hair on the bed, he realized that he had been worried for nothing. I was only thinking about getting a divorce.
He also seemed to be able to hear his wolf growling unwillingly. Was that man really that good?
Three months ago, I was still kneeling in front of him, desperately begging him not to divorce. Now, I could say I couldn’t stand him anymore with a straight face.
Dominic looked at his reflection in the mirror. She was already tired of him, wasn’t she?
