What ? .
On the other end .
Julian immediately noticed Dominicks tone .
After a brief pause , Julian continued .
The doctor had just checked Marissa again .
Its nothing serious .
Shes going to be alright Alright Dominicks voice was impatient and dismissive , matching the frustration in his expression .
As if on cue .
Paisley and Serenas Laughter carried over from the neighboring open balcony window .
Nathaniels voice followed , mingling with the cheerful sounds and grating on Dominicks nerves .
Dominicks eyes darkened , and he thought irritably , Nathaniels in Paisleys room , huh ! Laughing and chatting away like hes having the time of his life , Paisley , your daughter has a father .
And yet , here you are , letting another man stay in your room , laughing like nothings wrong On the other end of the line , Julian had no idea what Dominick was dealing with right now and brought up Marissa Dom , carlier today Marissa- But the noise from next door was getting under Dominicks skin , making it impossible for him to focus on Julians words .
Dominick immediately interrupted .
Anything else ? Julian hesitated again .
No , thats it .
Just dont forget about the opening gala tonight Got it .
Dominick replied , With that , he hung up abruptly , still visibly annoyed .
The laughter next door continued , grating on his nerves .
He wanted nothing more than to storm over there , drag Nathaniel out by the collar , and warn Paisley to stop laughing with him .
But just as Dominick turned to do exactly that , he stopped in his tracks .
He wondered , What right do I have to go over there ? Im not Paisleys husband anymore , and Im not even Serenas father .
Im just her ex husband , the man she once had a child with .
At the same time , in the neighboring 3303 suite , Serena , wearing a princess dress , sat cheerfully in her little pink castle .
She grinned and waved at Nathaniel .
Come on over , Prince Charming Here comes the charming price Nathaniel said with a faint smile .
Hearing Serenas call , he actually walked over , awkwardly folding his tall frame and sitting beside her in the tiny pink castle .
Paisley looked apologetic .
Rena , dont make things hard for him Serenas wide eyes sparkled mischievously .
Tve defeated you , evil witch .
Youre not allowed to talk now Nathaniel chimed in enthusiastically , Yeah .
You cant talk right now , evil witch Paisley , cast as the defeated witch , obediently kept her mouth shut , wondering just how long this prince and princess game was going to last .
Just as Paisley was about to question when her evil witch character could revive , her phone rang .
It was Emery , Seizing the opportunity , Paisley asked .
Princess Rena , may the evil witch take a phone call Serena thought about it for a moment before nodding decisively .
Yes , you are allowed to Paisley felt as if shed been granted a pardon as she grabbed her phone and headed out to the balcony .
The moment the call connected .
Emerys commanding tone came through loud and clear .
Woman , tell me who I am Paisley couldnt help but feel exasperated , but she played along anyway .
Mm , yo youre my dearest sweetheart .
Good girl Emery chuckled cheekily .
Teddy and I have arrived .
Lucy already showed us to our room .
Should I come meet at the gala later ! Paisley checked the time before replying , Lets meet at the gala later finel you .
усна пик , оr shill we .
But as Paisley turned , she ca caught sight of Dominick Sure .
Emery replied enthusiastically , the happiness in her voice unmistakable .
See you at the gala then .
Love you , babe .
Paisley responded , Mm , love you 100 After hanging up , Paisley still wore the warn smile she always had when talking to Emery .
standing on the adjacent balcony , his gaze dark and unfathomable as he looked at her .
Paisleys smile instantly disappeared at the sight of him .
With a neutral expression , she gave him a polite nod of acknowledgment before turning back into her room .
On her way in , the even made sure to close the balcony door and windows behind her , shutting out everything from the outside .
1/2 10.01 AM c ch Chapter 73 Dominick let out a derisive chuckle , leaning back against the railing.
He tilted his head to stare into the distance , but his eyes couldnt seem to focus He reflected bitterly .
