Chapter 37 Chapter 37 Marissa bit her lip , but in the end , she couldnt bring herself to say it .
Instead, she spoke , Hey , arent you supposed to be leaving for a business trip tonight ? Its getting pretty late Just then , Julian knocked on the door and entered .
Mr.
Vanderbt , its time to go Dominick checked the time , realizing it was indeed getting late .
After giving Linda one last reassurance , he left the room .
Julian followed behind , but before stepping out , he exchanged a brief look with Marissa , gave a slight nod , and walked away without another word .
Marissa stood in the hallway and watched the two men disappear around the corner .
Once they were out of sight , she went back into the room .
Dear , whats going on ? Linda , lying weakly before , now sat up in bed anxiously .
You had me fake being sick to get Dominick here .
Why did you do that ? Marissa slumped into the chair , grabbed the water shed poured for Dominick earlier , and drank it all before speaking .
Dominicks ex wife is back .
You mean Paisley ? Lindas eyes widened in surprise .
She remembered Paisley well a stunning woman who instantly grabbed the attention of others in a crowded room .
Shes come looking for Dominick again ? Linda asked .
Marissa shook her head .
She hasnt actively sought him out , but the way Dominicks been acting around her makes me uneasy .
If Julian hadnt told her that Dominick had gone to see Paisley with Grayson , Marissa wouldnt have known anything about it .
She thought hed be back quickly , but Julian said Dominick had gone into Paisleys house and hadnt come out since .
So , Marissa rushed to the hospital and used her mothers situation as an excuse to get Dominick to leave .
Sweetie , maybe you should just let it go , Linda said , seeing the situation more clearly .
It was obvious now that Dominick didnt have romantic feelings for her daughter .
He saw Marissa as family , and nothing more .
Of course , Linda wished her daughter could marry someone like Dominick .
She wanted her daughter to live a good life , but … Linda said , Sometimes , forcing things just doesnt work out , you know ? Marissa shook her head stubbornly and replied , No , Mom , I cant just give him up ! She didnt care whether the result was good or not , as long as she got him .
But more than that , she was concerned with Paisleys thoughts about Dominick .
Grayson ended up staying at Paisleys house .
Paisley called Emery not to come over in the next couple of days While Grayson wasnt exactly Dominick , Emery still had biases against Grayson , and there was no telling what she might say in front of him .
1/2 21:57 Mon , Jan 27 o Chapter 37 64 % Grayson was still just a kid , and although Paisley didnt wish Grayson to accept her , she didnt see the need to complicate things .
She just wanted to get through the next few days in peace Once Dominick came back , shed send the kid off .

Paisley glanced at the clock , and it was time to start dinner .
Since Maria was out , it was up to her to cook .
Kids , Ill cook now .
No fighting , got it ? she said while heading into the kitchen To her relief , the two kids could already take care of themselves, so she could leave them alone .
Grayson rolled his eyes and gave Serena a dismissive look .
He wasnt about to waste his time fighting with a little kid .
Serena , though , wasnt paying attention to him .
She was happily playing with her toys , completely ignoring his attitude .
After wandering around the living room and feeling bored , Grayson noticed the stairs leading up to the attic and decided to check it out .
By the time Serena looked up .
Grayson was already halfway up .
Serena thought .
Wheres he going ? To Moms space ? Furrowing her brows , she got up and followed him upstairs .
