Chapter 485
Heartbreak Brings Mr. Right
The wealth of the Perry family was unmistakable.
Their dressing room alone was the size of a typical home, stocked with an array of clothing.
A maid guided Lindsey to where the ladyâs attire was kept, revealing a large wardrobe filled with stunning evening gowns.
âMiss, these garments are all new.
Mrs.
Perry says you may select any that you like,â the maid offered.
Lindseyâs gaze was fixed on the expansive array of gowns.
The opulence of the wealthy had truly astounded her for the first time that evening.
Drawn to a particular piece, she reached out and picked a dress of red velvet.
âMiss, thatâs a great choice.
The dress looks really nice on you.
â
The maids at the Perry household were quick to compliment, especially when they noticed someone favored by Mrs.
Perry, they couldnât be sweeter.
âIs that so? Thanks.
â Lindsey offered a small, restrained smile.
Truth be told, she had picked this particular dress because it appeared modestly priced.
The other options were flashy and clearly expensive.
And she wasnât used to wearing such vibrant colors in public.
After she chose the dress, a maid did her makeup to match the red fabric.
The transformation was so striking that even the maid was taken aback.
Stepping out of the dressing room, Lindsey bumped into Domenic, who had also changed.
He was examining his sleeves.
Their eyes met, and she paused.
He looked up, his usually stern gaze warming at the sight of her.
âThatâs a good look on you.
â His smile widened, and he offered his arm.
âShall we?â
Lindsey linked her arm with his, tilting her head playfully.
âI bet youâll have all the ladiesâ attention tonight.
â
âWhat do you mean by that?â Domenic glanced downward and inquired.
âBecause youâre so good-looking!â she exclaimed.
With a warm smile, Domenic playfully tweaked Lindseyâs nose and replied, âYou have a way with compliments.
Keep them coming.
I enjoy them.
â
Arm in arm, they descended the stairs.
As they made their entrance into the bustling hall, the crowd began to settle.
All eyes were on Lindsey and Domenic as they made their way down from the second floor.
âWow, look at that handsome guy!â a guest whispered, hand over her mouth in awe.
âThe kids weâd have would be gorgeous,â another one said, letting her imagination run wild.
Dressed in a sharp black suit with his hair slicked back, Domenicâs striking features were on full display.
His black tie lay perfectly against his crisp white shirt, and his trousers cut a sharp silhouette, exuding the cool, commanding presence of a business tycoon.
His posture radiated an aloof, regal air.
