Chapter 327

Yet, she replied, “We have just started dating.

I’ll learn about these things gradually.

” Inwardly, Lindsey sought solace and reassurance.

Sumner responded with a gentle smile.

“True friends are open with each other; the same goes for lifelong partners.

If I like someone, I’d share every detail about myself without hesitation.

Do you grasp what I mean?”

Pinching her fingers, Lindsey replied, “I appreciate your concern.

Thank you for being so thoughtful.

”

Staring at Lindsey’s pale countenance, Sumner sighed, “It’s good that you understand.

As your friend, I sincerely wish for your happiness.

Maybe I’m overthinking.

By the way, it’s late, and you have work tomorrow.

Go and say goodbye to the ladies.

I’ll drive you home since cabs are scarce at this hour.

”

Lindsey stood frozen, her thoughts in disarray as she nodded blankly.

After bidding Paige and the other ladies farewell, Lindsey returned to her room, packed her things, and left the resort.

On the way, Lindsey appeared distracted, her mind still grappling with Sumner’s recent

revelation, leaving her feeling somewhat lightheaded.

Approaching the steps outside the resort, Lindsey seemed lost in thought.

She tripped and nearly fell, but Sumner quickly caught her in time.

Noticing her pale complexion, Sumner expressed concern, asking, “Are you alright?”

“I’m fine,” Lindsey replied, forcing a smile.

“Let me help you down,” Sumner offered, fearing Lindsey would fall again.

He gently held her arm, guiding her down the steps.

Meanwhile, upon reaching the resort’s gate, Domenic abruptly halted.

His attention was captured by the sight of Sumner and Lindsey descending the steps together.

Sumner supported Lindsey, guarding her with care.

Occasionally, she glanced up at him, her bright eyes reflecting a softness.

They strolled side by side, a picturesque scene unfolding.

Domenic, witnessing this, felt a twinge in his eyes.

When Lindsey, on the verge of expressing her gratitude to Sumner after descending the stairs, noticed Domenic’s piercing gaze upon them.

She lifted her head and saw Domenic standing before her.

His deep, narrow eyes exuded a chill.

He sported a black shirt today, the thin fabric of his coat accentuating the alignment of his broad chest and shoulders.

Two buttons beneath his neck were undone, and his sleeves were casually rolled up, exposing his arms.

This added to his mature, cold demeanor.

Lindsey withdrew her arm from Sumner’s grasp, her eyebrows twisting.

“Mr.

Walsh.

”

She trotted over to Domenic, stopping before him.

Surprise and amazement shimmered in her eyes.
