Chapter 292 I'm Confident in My Genetics

Bella didn't know what to say. Lia and her were polar opposites. If she were in her position, she would've only been able to retaliate verbally. Lignanted. "Would you stand idly by if your best friend was being called a bastard?"

Dominic didn't respond and only arched his brow at her.

Lia wanted to get him to give her a ride. She was just about to hop into the car when Leonard caught up to her.

"I'll give you a ride instead, Lia," he offered.

She waved him off. "It's okay. I'll just go with Bella."

He flashed her an amused grin. "I'm only offering because my dad told me to."

She hesitated for a moment before saying yes. After bidding Bella and Dominic goodbye, she got into Leonard's car. "Thank you."

Leonard glanced at her. "I should be the one thanking you. Also sorry for my mother's sudden invitation."

"There's no need to apologize for that!" Lia exclaimed casually. "Do all rich people talk like you? You drove off two of my boyfriends, and I slapped your now ex-

d say we're even."

"Your way of thinking is... Interesting On that note, how did you slap her with no hesitation? weren't you afraid of getting into trouble?" he couldn't help but ask. She was honest. "I wasn't thinking about it too much. We're friends, aren't we? What's a bit of trouble if I get to do my friend a favor?"

"It's great being friends with you," he said half-jokingly

Lia seemed to have forgotten that Leonard was driving. She playfully punched him and said, "That's right. You lucked out!"

As she was hirting him quite aggressively, he couldn't help but mutter, "You don't have to hit me that hard, you know..."

Back at Miller Manor, Bella changed out of her evening gown and took a shower. Nothing could beat the comfort of her casual clothes,

Holding ber leash in her mouth, Pudding came looking for Bella in the room. Her intentions were clear-she wanted Bella to take her out for a walk.

Lying on the bed, Bella didn't want to move. "Do you know what time it is? Someone has already walked you earlier. It doesn't matter if I didn't walk you I'm staying in today."

Pudding slumped to the floor. Upset, she stared at Bella with sad and pitiful eyes.

Bella had always had a hard time saying no to her puppy eyes. However, it was cold outside and she didn't want to move. Suddenly, an idea came to her.

"Go look for Dominic. He has plenty of energy. Ask him to bring you outside."

Despite not being able to understand her, Pudding recognized the name "Dominic" she immediately got up and ran off with her leash.

soon, Dominic's voice rang out from the hallway. "Why are you insisting that I walk you? What difference does it make if someone else does it?"

Bella chuckled underneath the blankets, but her gler was short-lived

Dominic knocked on her door. "Let's go walk Pudding."

She stayed quiet and pretended to be asleep.

He proceeded to barge in "Stop pretending know you're still awak

Defeated, she got out of bed and put on her coat. When she headed outside, she wrapped her coat tight beneath her fert
