Domineering Lover novel Chapter 1006

In order to pay for Dominic's tuition last year, Rose didn't even come back for Christmas, because the part-time job at that time paid more than usual. It took her a lot of hardships to pay for Dominic's tuition before school started. She never minded all the effort she had to put in but it all changed when she saw Dominic, who should be at the school at the moment, lying lazily on the sofa.

Rose really wanted to know what had happened in the family over the past year and why everything had changed so much.

"I took a day off 'cause I ain't feeling too well. Wow, sister, why do I feel that you are more beautiful? You are d*mn sure to make a hell lotta cash if you go on and be some celebrity."

Dominic had been proud of his sister ever since he was a child. He was average-looking and had poor grades, but she was excellent in every aspect.

In the past, many people wanted to get close to her, so they would give Dominic some benefits and let him help to send a love letter.

Dominic even secretly took a lot of pictures of Rose and sold them to those people.

"Really? You are not feeling well? Do you want to go to the hospital?" Rose saw that Dominic's face was thin and pale, and it was obvious that he was ill.

"Got a stomachache. And something hurts here. Why don't you float me some dough and I'll go check by meself?"

"No, I will not. Because I'll go with you. You can't possibly go to the hospital by yourself since you are not feeling good."

"Nah, it ain't nothin', sis. Just a few loose screws, is all. By the way, ma's probably on her way back. She missed you, oh, that she did."

Rose looked at him suspiciously. "You really don't want me to go with you."

"I ain't born yesterday, sis. I think I can manage to go to the hospital on me own."

"Alright then. How much do you want?"

"Say, five grand?" Dominic said.

Rose was shocked. "That much? A regular checkup doesn't cost that much, does it?"

"That much? When was the last time you went to the hospital? Back in the 1980s? Do you know how much them doctors fleece ya now?"

"Well, I'll give it to you. But do not spend it on some stupid things. This is money earned by my

hard work."

Rose gave all her money to Dominic and said, "I only have 3,000 here."

"Three thousand it is then. Thank you, sis." Dominic took the money and left.

Rose put things she was carrying aside and began to clean up the room. After a while, she heard the sound of opening the door.

Her mother was standing at the door with a strange man. "Rose, you're here so soon. I was thinking about going to the station to pick you up."

"Mom, who is he?" Rose looked at the man with a mean face. Sure enough, the neighbor was right. From his appearance, he didn't look like a decent person.

"Oh, Rose, let me introduce you. We have been together for almost a year. I was too embarrassed to tell you before."

Rose did not oppose her getting a stepfather for her, except that this person clearly did not qualify.

"Joshua, this is Rose."

"That's a fine daughter you got there. Could've told me sooner and I could totally hook 'er up with some fat job."

His tone made her feel very uncomfortable, and Rose didn't like him by instinct.

But on second thought, he couldn't be all too bad, otherwise, why would her mother take a fancy to him in the first place?

"Joshua."

"Aye, good girl. Right, since it's our first time gettin' together, we don't we go out to grab somethin' good and nice. It's my treat, just got a fat hunky-chunky coming in from today's game."

Game? Rose frowned. The neighbor did say that he gambled a lot.
