Chapter 273

His tone was laden with flirtation.

Lindsey snuggled into his embrace, gazing up at him with misty eyes.

Her face and neck had turned a rosy shade of pink.

Domenic, swallowing, wore a playful grin.

“If you don’t say it out loud, I’ll just have to keep ki*sing you.

”

Pausing briefly, he chuckled and added, “Or is that really what you’re after?”

Oh God! How could he flirt so effortlessly?

If things continued this way, Lindsey would start feeling like a stranger to herself.

She placed her hands on his chest, insisting, “No.

You need to sit up first.

Then I- I’ll tell you.

”

Domenic sat up, his eyes shining with anticipation.

Lindsey also sat up, quickly adjusting her skirt to hide her shyness.

She faced Domenic, hesitated for a moment, and then softly confessed, “I- I like you.

”

“Who do you like?” he teased, raising his eyebrows in question.

Fully aware that he was doing it on purpose, Lindsey stood up confidently and said with conviction, “Mr.

Walsh, I mean it.

I Like you, I like Domenic Walsh!”

Domenic, momentarily surprised, then embraced her gently around her waist and lifted her up.

Lindsey placed her hands on his shoulders, looking down at him bewilderedly.

“What are you doing? Please put me down.

”

Domenic looked up at her bright eyes, and she looked down at his.

They could only see and feel each other at the moment.

Domenic carried Lindsey to the bedroom and gently placed her on the large, plush bed.

He then took out a red diamond necklace from his pocket, knelt halfway before her, and adorned her neck with it.

“From now on, you are my woman.

Don’t hang out with other men alone anymore.

”

“When have I ever spent time with other men?” Lindsey, her lips forming a pout, retorted in disbelief.

Domenic, with a playful raise of his eyebrows, questioned her, “How dare you deny it? Then what’s the story with you and Sumner?”

Lindsey quickly clarified, “Oh, we’re just friends.

It was Jayleen’s doing that we met today.

”

“But I heard that Paige wanted to make a match between you and him.

”

“I’m clueless as to why she’d suggest that, but I’ve already turned her down.

” Lindsey pursed her lips and felt wronged.

“Mr.

Walsh, you do trust me, right?”

Domenic softly pinched her cheek.
