Chapter 474
Heartbreak Brings Mr. Right
âThe Perry family?â Domenic furrowed his brow a bit and questioned, âAre you familiar with them?â
Lindsey said, âOf course not.
The Perry family is out of my social circle.
My sister Shelia told me that Jacob Perry wants her to meet his parents, and sheâs asked me to come too.
Iâm not comfortable going to these things by myself.
It feels strange going alone.
So, I was hoping you could come with meâ¦â
Even though the Perry family is among the top four families, just like the Walsh family, theyâre the least influential of the four.
Theyâre not in the same league as the Walsh family.
The Perry family has tried to work with the Walsh Group a few times but only managed to meet with some junior folks from the company.
Moreover, Domenic was a man of mystery, always staying under the radar, ensuring that his true identity as a member of the distinguished Walsh family remained hidden from sight.
âSure, Iâll join you.
These family gatherings always have a bunch of young guys around.
What if someone tries to sweep my beautiful, kind, and clever fiancée off her feet?â Domenicâs lips curled into a half-smile.
âYouâre getting quite the smooth talker!â Lindsey Laughed as she fed Domenic a piece of cake.
Domenic squinted his eyes and with a thoughtful look, gestured towards her mouth.
âRight there.
â
Lindsey blinked in surprise but then felt the dab of cream on her lips.
She quickly wiped it away from the corner of her mouth.
Suddenly, Domenicâs gaze deepened, he reached out, holding the back of her head gently, and leaned in for a ki*s on her Lips.
Reeling from the ki*s, Lindsey heard his voice close to her ear, deep and smooth.
âIâve always wondered how sweet your Lips would be.
And they are.

That weekend, the Perry familyâs grand banquet was held at their villa.
The hill behind was dotted with lanterns, Lighting up the night sky like stars on earth.
Lindsey followed the directions from Shelia and reached the villa with Domenic.
She looked up at the hill, now a canvas of Lights, and thought about the Perry familyâs lavish lifestyle to host such an event.
Shelia appeared at the villaâs entrance and saw Lindsey admiring the view.
She teased, âLindsey, caught your eye, hasnât it? Not every day you see something this grand, I suppose?â
Lindsey turned to find Shelia in a flowing gown of silk that clung and moved with her, a picture of understated sophistication.
Her usual bold makeup was replaced with a softer touch, and her hair was pulled back in a classic bun, giving her the air of a refined lady.
In contrast, Lindseyâs choice was modest.
She wore a white blouse and a skirt blooming with flowers.
Next to Sheliaâs lavish look, it was quite plain.
Sheliaâs lips twitched with a smirk, glad Lindsey hadnât tried to outshine her today.
Shelia thought that at least Lindsey knew her place.
Then her eyes drifted to the man beside Lindsey.
He stood there, hand in his pocket, black jacket adding to his impressive presence.
His striking looks made him stand out, regardless of the setting.
