Chapter 407

Lindsey felt her heart being clenched by an unseen force, causing her aching pain.

“and how did you finally escape?” she asked, her voice still trembling.

“The neighbor’s girl found me during a visit and rescued me.

Fortunately, my grandfather was home that day, so he protected me from my uncles.

”

Once Domenic concluded his narrative with composure, his once calm demeanor gave way to a coldness that settled in his dark eyes.

However, he swiftly suppressed the surging emotion.

Gently, he rubbed his chin against Lindsey’s head and spoke, “Linds, you mentioned not knowing much about me.

It’s not that I’m unwilling to share my family history, but the truth is that I have no family except my grandfather.

My grandfather is a traditional and stubborn man, not easy to connect with.

I worry that meeting him might stress you out.

I always thought I’d introduce you when the time was right, but I overlooked your feelings.

I’m sorry.

”

It dawned on Lindsey that Domenic never talked about his family because of this.

Lindsey lifted her head, cupping Domenic’s handsome face, meeting his unusual melancholy gaze.

“I’m sorry.

I had no idea you experienced such pain.

I was just too eager to know you and your family better.

I was just afraid that if you ever left me, I wouldn’t even know where to find you.

”

Suddenly, Domenic tightened his embrace, holding Lindsey close.

Planting a gentle ki*s on her forehead, he asked, “Have you forgotten?

We’re engaged.

You’re my fiancée and my future wife.

I won’t leave you; I’ll be by your side for the rest of our lives.

It’s too late for you to run away.

”

Lindsey lifted her head, ki*sing his prominent Adam’s apple.

Her hands encircled him as she whispered, “I won’t run away because you’re my favorite.

”

She then buried her flushed face in his arms.

Domenic’s Adam’s apple bobbed with a subtle motion.

Slipping his large hand under her chin, he lifted Lindsey’s face to

meet his gaze.

Then, his thin lips met hers in a ki*s.

“Me too.

I like you the best.

”

On the second morning, Lindsey eagerly anticipated leaving the hospital, but Domenic was adamant about her staying.

“The doctor emphasized the need for you to complete your recovery here.

”

“But I still have a few procedures left.

If I don’t complete them on time, the opening of the company will be delayed,” Lindsey explained, perched gracefully on the bed, her anxiety palpable.

The previous night, during a conversation with Domenic, she had shared her ambitious plan to launch a company.

To her surprise, Domenic, with experience, offered valuable insights.

He revealed that he had learned extensively from his entrepreneurial journey, providing Lindsey with a trove of substantial ideas that fueled her determination.

“Stay here for your recovery.

Just provide me with the necessary materials, and I’ll handle the rest for you,” Domenic suggested, his gaze unwavering.

Lindsey looked up, her eyes questioning.

“Is that possible? Some procedures require a personal touch.

”

“Trust me.

I have a solution, Domenic assured, a smile playing on his Lips.
