Chapter 349

He parted his lips, yet silence clung to him, refusing to let any words escape.

His silent demeanor mirrored the day Selah was ousted from the Yates residence, leaving Selah profoundly disappointed.

She scoffed, “You’re as timid as ever.

You claim to want to help, yet you only allow me to stay in Morcastle.

Fear of your overbearing mother watching you closely stops you from bringing me to Blosa.

Even now, you remain under her control.

You can’t bring yourself to defy her! She detests me vehemently.

Why would you come to me behind her back? If she discovers your entanglement with a divorcee who has a child, she’ll surely erupt in anger!

Arturo, return to your home.

There are numerous young women in Blosa; you can find someone more suitable.

I can lead a fulfilling life without your charity.

The kindest thing you can do is to refrain from disrupting my peace!”

Then, Selah turned around and walked away, carrying Elaine in her arms.

Her words pierced Arturo deeply.

As he watched Selah’s departing figure, his hands clenched into fists, veins pulsating on the back of his hands, and his eyes turned glacial.

Arturo got back into his car, shielding his red eyes with his hands.

He knew Selah was right.

He couldn’t risk taking her to Blosa.

The thought of his mother finding out about his relationship with Selah and their child terrified him.

She might go to extreme lengths to erase Selah from their lives.

Frustrated, Arturo took out his phone, intending to talk to someone.

He ended up dialing Domenic’s number.

Domenic took a while to answer, his voice so icy it could send shivers down one’s spine.

“What’s going on?” Domenic’s voice was cold enough to send shivers down anyone’s spine.

“Domenic, as it turns out, the lady sharing a roof with you isn’t Lindsey Stewart.

”

Arturo lit a cigarette and found a topic to chat with Domenic.

“What are you talking about?”

“I saw Lindsey today at the city park, with Ruby Garcia and Selah.

I’ve told you before, Lindsey is no simple character.

I didn’t even know Ruby was back in town, but there she was with Lindsey, looking quite close.

”

“What did you just say?” Domenic’s voice was icy.

Arturo cleared his throat and blew out a smoke ring.

“Don’t worry, I didn’t give anything away.

I just gave them a ride home.

But I noticed Lindsey doesn’t live in one of your private properties.

So, you two aren’t together?”

There was a moment of silence.

Then after a brief pause, instead of answering, Domenic asked, “What should I do to make a woman happy if she’s mad?”

Domenic’s sudden question caught Arturo off guard, causing him to choke on his cigarette.

“Ahem.

Domenic, don’t scare me.

Are you really the type of guy to go to great lengths just to please a woman? That doesn’t sound like you.

”

“If you keep bullshitting me, not only will I not help you with your international business, but I’ll also sabotage your efforts abroad.

”

“ALL right… I admit I was wrong.

”
