Chapter 429

Chills ran through Lindsey’s hand as if her thoughts were laid bare.

She tossed the belt down in frustration, stepping back, blushing, and pouting, “Try it yourself!”

Domenic smiled and secured the belt around his waist.

In fascination, Lindsey watched.

This man’s figure was so fine that anything he wore looked splendid.

A mere belt donned by him exuded a restrained, aristocratic air.

“It’s said giving a man a belt aims to capture his heart.

Are you afraid I might bolt?” Domenic looked up and said.

Lindsey stepped forward, seized his belt, and pulled him closer.

She narrowed her eyes, querying, “How do you know so much? Have you received a belt from another woman before? Huh?”

Domenic had recently gleaned such insights from books.

The subtleties of relationships eluded him previously.

Extending his hands, Domenic pressed Lindsey’s shoulders, pinning her against the shoe cabinet.

Cupping her face, he stated emphatically, “Don’t misjudge me.

You’re the first to belt me, and the last one.

”

Enraptured by his intense, dark gaze, Lindsey’s bag slipped to the floor, revealing a peek of the cut-out nightgown inside.

Domenic’s gaze darted down

“What’s this? New attire?”

Lindsey’s face reddened instantly.

She hurried to retrieve the bag, but before she could, Domenic swiftly plucked out the nightgown.

The red cut-out nightgown unfolded before them.

Damn! Lindsey’s neck flushed crimson.

Flustered, she shut her eyes, longing to find a hole to hide in.

However, Domenic’s warm hand encircled her slender waist.

She heard his low, magnetic voice.

“How did you know I fancy this? Wear it for me tonight.

”

Lindsey opened her eyes, bit her lip, and whispered into Domenic’s ear, “I never pegged you for such flirtation.

Truly… You’re quite bold.

”

Domenic’s gaze darkened, and he scooped Lindsey up in his arms.

Lindsey wound her arms around his neck, questioning, “What are you up to?”

Domenic carried her toward the bedroom, grinning, “Taking you to sleep.

”

Early the next morning, Lindsey’s phone jolted her awake.

She stretched her achy muscles and answered, “Hello.

”

“Linds, come to the office!”

It was Nancy calling.

Shaking off her sleepiness, Lindsey got out of bed.

“There’s a crowd gathered in front of the company.

In any case, come here first.
