Drunk and Daring I Kissed a Tycoon novel Chapter 358

The cat let out a few small meows, almost like it could read Vespera's thoughts. Tilting its head, it looked up at her with big, round eyes.

Vespera melted on the spot. She crouched down and gently stroked the cat's head. "You've gotten chubbier."

The cat leaned into her hand, rubbing its head against her palm and meowing in a cute tone.

Dominic crouched down beside Vespera and said, "It doesn't have a name yet. You should name it."

Vespera thought for a moment and responded, "It's all soft and chubby, and its belly is so white. How about Snowball?"

Dominic was at a loss for words.

Noticing his silence, Vespera turned to look at him. "Does it sound bad? Do you not like it?"

Dominic laughed. "No, it's great. Really. It's perfect."

Wrapping his arms around her from behind, he joined her in petting Snowball. "Alright, from now on, your name is Snowball."

Snowball, now saddled with a name that sounded suspiciously like something someone might say while playing in snow, meowed cheerfully, clearly pleased with its new identity.

Dominic and Vespera stayed like that in the corridor, crouched side by side and completely absorbed in their own little world. They petted Snowball and laughed softly as if no one else existed.

They had almost forgotten someone was still sitting in the living hall.

Nancy could hear Dominic's voice, and the way he spoke made her heart ache. He seemed so gentle.

She watched him willingly squat down with another woman to play with a cat. The cat had such a ridiculous name, yet he said it was perfect?

Every breath felt like a blade slicing through her chest. She got up, ready to storm out. However, halfway through her first step, Fawn's warning echoed in her mind.

Dominic was doing it on purpose. He wanted to make her jealous.

Nancy clenched her fists. If he wanted to play this game, she would play too. Composing herself, she walked steadily down the corridor.

By the time she reached them, they had just stood up, still cradling Snowball in their arms.

"The cat is adorable. But if I remember right, you used to be a clean freak. You never raised pets, did you?" Nancy smiled and asked. Then, she glanced at Snowball in Vespera's arms.

Vespera looked them over and smiled, showing that she liked them.

"Let me help you put them on," offered Nancy.

Vespera replied, "Sure."

The two sat side by side on the couch, chatting like close friends as Nancy carefully helped Vespera put on the earrings.

Just then, Raymond walked out with Dominic's luggage. The sight of the couch made him stop mid-step. He had only been gone for a few minutes. What had happened while he was gone?

Right then, Calvert arrived for dinner, idly spinning a pocket knife in one hand. The moment he saw what was happening in the living hall, the knife slipped right out of his fingers and hit the floor.

Raymond and Calvert stood frozen. Meanwhile, Dominic said nothing. His face gave nothing away.

After a long moment, Dominic chuckled softly and walked over. Without a word, he scooped Snowball out of Vespera's arms and turned toward the dining area.

"Come on, Snowball. Your mom still wants to put on an act. Come and eat with me first," said Dominic.
