"They're watching us." Dominic informed.
Actually, he didn't care about the reporters taking his picture with Jean because he thought Jean's reaction right now was adorable.
Jean realised that her cheeks grew red with what she was doing. She hid her face behind Dominic's arm, hoping no one found out if she was embarrassed right now.

Dominic's new mall opening ceremony was over. Jean's legs ached as she kept standing and greeting the guests who came to congratulate Dominic on the opening of his new mall and his wedding.
"Tired?" Dominic asked, seeing Jean's face.
Jean only winced in response. Dominic then took his phone from his pocket and called someone.
"Prepare a car and get someone to replace me here. My Queen is already bored." Dominic looked at Jean, who was now lowering her head.
Today, Dominic's behaviour was completely unexpected. Did he go somewhere to make his head soft?
Jean hurriedly shook her head. Thinking of Dominic was like trying to define a woman's 'nothing.' He was hard to guess.
Dominic stuck his fingers in Jean's. He took Jean to the car to go home.
"Let's go home, Queen." Dominic romantically kissed Jean on the forehead.
What Dominic and Jean did couldn't be separated from the shots of journalists and paparazzi who didn't want to miss a single moment from the new couple.
Maybe tomorrow, there would be many articles in print magazines as well as online writing about how romantic Dominic Archer, a cold-blooded young billionaire, was.

In the car, Dominic and Jean were silent. No one opened a single conversation. They were busy with their own thoughts but with hands still linked. No one wanted to let go, and without anyone trying to let go.
The quiet and calm atmosphere when Jean was with Dominic has now become a comfortable thing for her. Although their togetherness was rare, when they were together, the time was a little longer than usual.
Wasn't it strange? Usually, it would be a long time for annoying moments. But with Dominic, it was very comfortable.
Jean shook her head again. She immediately got rid of everything about Dominic. Marriage to him was a lie. Jean believed that something that begins with a lie wasn't a right thing to do. She didn't want to be trapped deeper by Dominic Archer's charm.
"Do you feel bad?" Dominic asked, seeing Jean's gesture like that.
"Nope." The answer was short. There was no way Jean could say that she was thinking about him. Dominic would be puffed up if he knew it.
"Does it still hurt?" He asked again. This time, Dominic put his hand on Jean's thigh. Jean's body froze at Dominic's touch. It was just a touch, nothing more, but it could make a strange tingle on her body.
She was afraid that she would really fall for Dominic's charm, the great player.
Jean wanted to answer, but her tongue was frozen. Everything she wanted to say hung on her tongue without a single break. Jean didn't know what happened to her. Her body seemed to welcome all the touches from him.
Dominic approached Jean. His hand touched Jean's jaw, then reached her face. He kissed Jean's lips gently. Jean also welcomed the kiss full of love. Her body really craved for Dominic.
"Look away, otherwise I will shoot your head." Dominic threatened to catch his driver, who was looking at them.
"I am sorry, Sir." The driver's voice trembled with fear. He then directed his gaze to another side without looking back.
Jean was a little scared by the threat Dominic said to the driver. Why did Dominic so easily want to shoot someone? Was Dominic a psycho?
Jean returned to remember everything about Dominic, starting from his nature, then his always changing behaviour, and finally about how easily Dominic threatened someone's life. And one more thing, Jean remembered when Dominic came several times with a face full of wounds. What was he doing out there until his face became like that?
Jean wanted to ask, but would Dominic answer what she asked? Should she act indifferently when her curiosity is greater?
"What were you doing out there until you hurt your face?" Jean finally asked. She wondered what Dominic was doing. Was danger always threatening him? Or was he just getting into a fight out there?
"Sometimes someone is hiding something so as not to hurt someone." The answer was full of question marks.
Who was the real Dominic Archer?
