The Billionaire And His Son Want Me Back (Paisley) novel Chapter 131

The two groups maintained a tense silence, with no further exchanges between them.

Paisley thought she could finally enjoy her meal in peace, so she stopped paying attention to the three at the other table. However, the occasional cold glare shot from that direction still distracted Paisley, preventing her from fully immersing herself in the delicious food and beautiful scenery.

Before long, Dominick and his group's meals began to arrive at their table.

Marissa cut her steak in half but suddenly put down her knife and fork.

"What's wrong?" Dominick asked.

Marissa adjusted her sleeves and said softly, "I'm a bit cold."

Dominick was about to call the waiter to raise the temperature of the air conditioning in their area but hesitated. He lowered his hand, stood up, and took off his suit jacket, draping it over Marissa's shoulders. "Wear my jacket."

Marissa didn't expect Dominick to give her his jacket, and her face showed undeniable shyness and surprise. "Okay."

The jacket still held Dominick's body warmth.

Marissa wrapped the suit around herself, her eyes gleaming with pride as she glanced at Paisley. She expected Paisley to notice and react, even if it was just a disgusted eye roll. However, the outcome disappointed Marissa.

Paisley didn't even look their way. At that moment, she was wiping Serena's mouth. She was wearing a gentle smile, her eyes crinkling as she chatted with Serena.

Marissa always wanted to prove Dominick's love for her in front of Paisley. The more Paisley acted indifferent, the more Marissa wanted to show off to her.

Perhaps because Marissa had been embarrassed by Paisley repeatedly, she wanted to see Paisley break down once. So, Marissa picked up her fork, speared a piece of steak, and brought it to Dominick's lips.

"Dom, try my steak. I think it's excellent," Marissa said sweetly, sounding just like a woman in the throes of love.

Dominick hesitated, showing no intention of eating the steak.

Marissa had long anticipated Dominick's reaction and was prepared for it.

To her surprise, Dominick only looked at the steak for a moment before smiling and saying, "Okay," and then he ate the piece. "Hmm, it's indeed good."

"Right?" Marissa giggled, her soft body unconsciously leaning toward Dominick.

Not only did Dominick not pull away, but he also asked thoughtfully, "Are you still cold?"

Marissa shook her head. "Not at all."

To outsiders, this scene only seemed like a sweet couple.

However, Paisley ignored them completely. After wiping Serena's mouth, she didn't trust Serena to have the soup by herself, so she fed her spoonful by spoonful.

"Dom, I want to try your dish," Marissa said, still lost in her sweet interaction with Dominick, unaware of the change in his expression.

"Here, take it all," Dominick said, pushing his untouched plate of food in front of Marissa. He had lost all appetite. Dominick thought, 'Paisley, you really don't care at all. You haven't even looked at me once.'

Previously, even if Dominick and Marissa hadn't done anything, Paisley would have been upset and noisy. But now, even with their frequent interactions, Paisley showed no signs of disappointment.

Grayson watched as Paisley personally fed Serena soup, feeling envious. He turned to look at the soup in his bowl. "Marissa, can you feed me some soup?"

Paisley was left speechless. "That description fits you better, doesn't it?"

Marissa's expression seemed like she wanted to skin Paisley alive. "Paisley, I know what you're thinking."

"What am I thinking?" Paisley was puzzled.

"You repeatedly humiliate me in front of the Vanderbilt family, hoping they will see you in a new light and feel guilty. Let me remind you, that's impossible. As long as I'm here, you can't remarry Dominick," Marissa said in a resentful tone.

Paisley had always thought Kayla was the crazy one, but now she realized she was wrong. Marissa was the true lunatic.

Just as Paisley waited for Marissa to continue her nonsensical rant, Marissa suddenly became hesitant. "I'm sorry, Ms. Sutton. If I apologize to you, can it make you change your mind and accept Grayson and Dom again? If so, I'll apologize to you.

"It's all my fault. I will leave the Vanderbilt family and go far away, never to appear in front of you and Dom again. I only ask you not to be so heartless. After all, Grayson is still little, and he needs a mother."

Maria stood up abruptly, holding Serena, and moved away from Marissa. "Damn, is she crazy?"

Paisley looked up and indeed saw Dominick and Grayson walking out of the restroom.

Hearing the argument, Dominick and Grayson hurried back.

"Ms. Sutton, what can I do for you to forgive Dom and Grayson?" Marissa stood beside Paisley, agitated. "I can do anything as long as you accept them again. It's all my fault. It has nothing to do with them. I wanted too much. I was wrong..."

As Marissa spoke, she seemed unsteady, as if she was about to fall to the floor.
