Chapter 403

“That wasn’t an option.

” He pressed her soft hand to his Lips, planting a ki*s.

“I vowed to reach you first, no matter the danger.

”

His face bore several days’ worth of stubble, causing a slight itch.

Previously meticulous and prim, he’d forgotten to shave owing to his concern for her.

Suddenly, she found it hard to be mad at him.

“Linds, come home with me,” His gaze locked onto hers, pleading softly.

“You haven’t apologized for distrusting and trailing me before.

” She pouted, studying his handsome face.

“How can I forgive you and return home if you don’t apologize?”

His dark pupils dilated slightly.

So, she’d been awaiting an apology?

He’d pondered ways to placate her and avoid infuriating her but hadn’t uttered a word of remorse… He was so lame.

“Linds, give me a moment.

” With that, Domenic rose and exited the ward.

Lindsey stared blankly at the man’s tall, straight form, a dissatisfied frown gracing her face.

Why did he flee when it came to apologizing?

Minutes later, the door creaked open.

Domenic strolled in, holding a sizable bouquet of yellow roses intertwined with pink baby’s breath, and stopped before her.

Amidst Lindsey’s puzzled look, Domenic bent down slightly and presented her with the flowers.

He softly curved his lips, his gaze deep and earnest as he looked at her and said, “Today was a bit of a rush, so this is all I could get.

These yellow roses symbolize a heartfelt apology.

Linds, I want to sincerely say, I’m sorry.

From now on, I promise never to do anything that upsets you.

”

Lindsey gazed into his meaningful eyes, her lips tensing a bit.

“I really like you.

Can you promise not to distrust me in the future?”

Her eyes were clear, pure, and genuin

, brimming with her feelings for him.

He thought she would resent him, believing she could never have affection for him again.

But she said she really liked him.

Domenic felt her words softly caress his heart, creating a wave of emotions.

“Linds, I give you my word.

I won’t have any doubts about you ever again.

I mean it this time, and I’ll prove it with my actions.

If I don’t…”

Before he could complete his vow, Lindsey gently held his face and ki*sed his lips.

Her voice was soft and soothing, saying, “That settles it.

You must trust in my feelings for you.

I won’t get involved with any other man.

You’re the only one I want.

”

Domenic’s eyes shimmered with happiness, and he tenderly cradled her neck, drawing her into a deep ki*s.

“I feel the same, there’s no one else for me but you.

”

Lindsey embraced Domenic’s well-built back, earnestly responding to his affectionate ki*s.

“Embrace me tightly,” Domenic murmured in a low, husky voice, before capturing her lips once more.

Lindsey held him close, her arms enveloping his broad back, silently promising to hold on to him forever.
