"Geora," Dominic replied, just randomly picking a name.
Vespera shot back, "Why him? Varnok is way cuter!"
Dominic sighed and said, conceding, "You''re right. Varnok is cuter."<fn708a> Updates are released by F?nd-Novel</fn708a>
Vespera yanked on Dominic''s tie and pointed out the window. Like a generalmanding troops, she shouted, "Go and make something spicy now. It''s time for Thalynox to have breakfast. If he doesn''t have breakfast, he''ll starve!"
Dominic raised a brow and asked, "What about the fox?"
Vespera waved him off and said, "Salt it!"
In the front seat, Gerard and Calvert were barely holding it together.
Gerard, who had been sulking a minute ago, now looked like he was about to rupture something trying not tough.
Meanwhile, Calvert had already burst outughing, wheezing uncontrobly. Once he managed to breathe, he turned to Gerard and asked, "Gerard, do you know Mightyman? What does he look like?"
Gerard was speechless. He buried his face in his hands, shoulders shaking as hepletely lost it.
On the other hand, Dominic endured the entire car ride home being bombarded
with nonsense, each absurd question making his headache worse.
Upon reaching the vi, Dominic told Gerard to get some ibuprofen before carrying Vespera upstairs.
Just as they stepped into the guest room, Vespera threw up before Dominic could put her on the bed. Still clinging to his shirt, she pressed her face into his chest and emptied her stomach all over him.
Bile soaked through his shirt and trailed down his torso. The acidic stench hit like a punch to the nose, making his already pale face somehow even paler. If it had been anyone else, they would have been thrown out the window without hesitation.
Dominic asked, "How do you feel? Let''s rinse your mouth first."
Dominic walked over to the chair and grabbed a bottle of water from the table before twisting the lid and bringing it to Vespera''s lips.
Vespera had no energy left. She instinctively sipped the water and immediately spat it out. Dominic tried to aim her toward the trash can, but she puked on his pants. He decided to let it pass.
Once Vespera had finished puking and rinsing her mouth, Dominic picked her up and brought her to the bathroom.
He set her down in the bathtub, then stripped off his shirt, which reeked of vomit. After that, he undressed her. Her zipper was in the back. He gently turned her around and pulled the zipper. The ck dress slipped from her shoulders, revealing her skin.
Alcohol had left her skin tinged with pink. Her long hair was down. She was so beautiful that it was hard to look away.
Dominic''s gaze darkened, and his throat tightened. He forced himself to stay focused. He turned on the water and adjusted the temperature before lowering Vespera back into the tub. Water slowly rose until her body was submerged. This was Dominic''s first time bathing someone. Bathing Vespera...
It honestly felt more like punishment than anything else.
Dominic washed Vespera''s face, then cleaned the rest of her body, using a lemon-scented body wash to erase thest traces of vomit and alcohol.
Vespera let out a soft moan. Her eyes fluttered open. Her face reddened even more, and her breath quickened. Her gaze was unfocused as she looked at Dominic.
Dominic said, "I''m giving you a bath."
Dominic was still focused on the task. Then, Vespera covered his hand with hers under the water, like she wanted to guide him. She could do anything she wanted when she was drunk. After a while, she bit her lip, and her eyes welled with tears. She whimpered like she was about to cry.
Dominic said, "The water is getting cold. That''s enough."
He pulled his hand back, veins in his forearms still faintly visible.
Vespera leaned forward and wrapped her arms around his, resting her cheek on
his skin. Her eyes drifted to his chest, and she stared like she was trying to make up her mind about something.
Then, she mumbled like a spoiled child, "I want to continue bathing."
