Chapter 87 Thrilled Bella hadnât eaten all day, and after drinking so much last night, her empty stomach was bothering he As soon as she walked in, she started yelling for food Lrolled her eyes but still gave her a bunch of snacks. âWhat, Domink didnât give you anything to eat? Youâre coming here like a beggar. Nice job.â
Bella quickly tore into the snacks, eating while she told Lis everything that happened last night, even complaining a bit about how awful Sumon was.
Lahad heard some crazy stories before, but this one still surprised her. She put down her wood carving and looked at Bella with interest.
âYour dadâs a jerk, sure, but donât you think, in some weird way, he actually helped you? If you hadnât been so opset and drunk, last night with Dominic might not have happened. âAnd letâs be realâlast night was different. At least he mentioned the word âgirlfriend, right? Before this, you were just a hookup, nothing more.â
Bella couldnât help but roll her eyes. âSeriously, you think Iâm upset about Simon? He means nothing to meâwasnât heartbroken at all whatâs really driving me nuts is whether or not anything happened last nightâ
Lia replayed the audio message a few tows before giving her verdict. âYou two definitely fucked last night. He sent you this so you canât deny it later. Itâs proot âAnd letâs face it, waking up in his bed says it all. If he didnât want anything to happen, he wouldâve just dumped you back in your own roomâitâs like, what, a few steps away? âAnd the way he stepped in to defend you when your dad and his wife were giving you a hard time? Iâm starting to rethink my grudge against him.
âWhatâs there to stress about? Isnât being his girlfriend exactly what youâve always wanted? Youâve liked him for years, and now youâve finally got him. You should be thrilled.â Thrilled? Bella fell silent. It wasnât as simple as Liamade it sound. Sure, three years ago, being with Dominic was all she ever wanted. But now she wasnât so sure. Shouldnât only people who genuinely liked each other be together? Sheâd loved Dominic for years, but had he ever, even for a second, shown any real feelings for her?
The conversation in the audio clip lelt more like he was just humering her because she was drunk, not something serious La couldnât stand seeing her soupset. Tused to think Dominic didnât hur you at all, maybe even hated you. But think about itâ
would a guy who really hates someone sleep with them so many times? Even if he started out wanting revenge, he might have developed feelingsâ
Bella replied quietly, âSome things canât be changed.â
Lia sighed and said, âYou just want to know if you and Dominie slept together last night, right? Let me ask him for youâ
Before Bella could stop her, Lia grabbed her phone and sent Dominic a message, âDid we fuck last night?â
She added, âAnd were you serious about what you sad in the audio?â
By the time Bella realized what happened and took her phone back, the message was already sent. She stood there, stunned, and then yelled, âLia!â
Tiscovered her ears playfully. âIt cover my ears, I wonât hear you yell You were too scared to ask, so I did it. Now letâs wait for his reply.â
The next 25 minutes felt like forever in Bella, who was nervous and excited to sev Dominicâs response.
When the notification finally came, both of then jumped Li said, âYou check it I wonât peekâ
