Chapter 265

Realizing Domenic had no intention of stopping, Lindsey shook off his grip, came to a standstill, and rubbed her wrist, which had turned red from being pulled.

“Mr.

Walsh, where are you whisking me away to?

Now it’s just us two.

If you’ve got something to say, then say it.

”

Domenic spun around, and they found themselves on the street.

At this point, it was nearly deserted, with only a few people.

The dim streetlamp cast their shadows long and thin.

Domenic intensely gazed into her dark eyes.

“Lindsey, I need to understand why.

Why do you insist on keeping me at a distance? What did I mess up?”

Lindsey pressed her lower lip firmly between her teeth.

There was nothing amiss with Domenic.

He was just too darn good.

His excellence felt like a trap to her, as if she was already caught in a swamp.

Trying to escape would only bring her more pain and hurt.

After facing betrayal once, Lindsey became like a snail, hiding within a tough shell.

But inside, she was so delicate that even the slightest touch could shatter her.

The thought of him despising her was unbearable…

She kept her feelings from Domenic, wishing to preserve a piece of dignity for both of them.

She didn’t want to expose her wounds in the heart, nor did she want to give him the power to hurt her.

So, she chose to distance herself before anything worse happened.

Clasping her fingers tightly, she looked up.

“Mr.

Walsh, I’ve said it before.

I… I don’t deserve you.

You’ll

find someone better.

Miss Chase, for instance.

She’s wealthy, beautiful, and fond of you.

She was the one who brought you to see me today, wasn’t she? Have you two already… Hmm.

”

Before she could continue, Domenic silenced her ramblings with a ki*s.

Domenic held Lindsey tight and ki*sed her fiercely, leaving her gasping for air.

All the feelings Domenic had bottled up burst forth right then and there.

His usual cool-headedness and sharp wit crumbled completely before her.

His very being seemed to cry out.

He wasn’t ready to release her just yet.

Lindsey felt dazed by the ki*s, but she gathered her wits and shoved against his chest, forcing him back before she lost her grip on reality.

“Domenic Walsh, stop!” Lindsey exclaimed.

Domenic gave a wry laugh and replied, “Before someone’s punished, they get to know what they did wrong.

Today, you’re sentencing me.

Don’t I at least deserve a reason? You could tell me you’ve fallen for someone else, or you want a richer man, or maybe that I’m just too poor.

But you can’t turn me away with no explanation.

I need an answer today, or I’m not letting you go.

”

Lindsey clenched her hands.

She hadn’t expected Domenic to be this stubborn.

She didn’t want to respond, but his relentless questioning pushed her to her breaking point.

Fine, if he wanted a reason, she’d give him one!
