Chapter 495
Heartbreak Brings Mr. Right
âIâm not finished with you.
â Lifting her eyes filled with resentment, Shelia shot a fierce glare at Lindsey.
âYou still have the strength to speak?â Lindsey responded with a smile, remaining unfazed.
âIt appears that the punishment you received today was too light.
â
âLindsey, did you have a hand in this? Did you do this to Shelia?â
Bennyâs gaze bore into Lindsey, his anger fueled by the realization that his companyâs hopes of securing funding from the Perry family had evaporated.
Lindsey sneered, rose to her feet, and fixed a cold gaze upon Benny.
âDeeds done in darkness come to light.
In your eyes, you have an obedient daughter and a faithful wife.
Yet, how many disgraceful acts have they committed without your knowledge?â
With those words, she turned and departed, disregarding Bennyâs seething and enraged countenance.
Lying weakly in Bennyâs embrace, Kendra understood that anything she said now would only irk him further.
Besides, she was too drained to summon any strength.
Not far from them on the nearby road, Domenic pulled over.
Lindsey opened the front passenger door and climbed in.
âItâs over.
Letâs head home!â A soft, sweet smile graced Lindseyâs lips as if everything that had transpired tonight held no significance for her.
Domenic curled his lips into a smile and replied, âCertainly.

âThis rented car is so comfortable.
Iâm feeling a bit tired.
I might take a nap.
â
Having said this, Lindsey closed her eyes with a deep sigh.
As Domenic admired her beautiful profile, his eyes filled with affection.
Just rest.
With him by her side, she could sleep peacefully for as long as she pleased.
The car pulled up in front of their apartment building.
Lindsey was still in a deep slumber, thoroughly exhausted from the nightâs events.
Domenic beamed with affection.
After parking the car, he gently opened the passenger door and lifted Lindsey out of the vehicle.
âMr.
Walshâ¦â Lindseyâs eyes fluttered open, and she was nestled in Domenicâs embrace, still feeling disoriented.
Her weary body instinctively shifted, yearning to be set down.
âDonât move.
â Domenicâs deep, charismatic voice held a touch of authority.
He tenderly transported her back home.
As Domenic laid Lindsey gently on the soft bed, he touched her ears and gazed down with his captivating eyes.
âWould you like me to help you switch into your nightgown?â
Lindsey pressed her lips together, and her cheeks flushed.
She spoke bashfully, âAlright, but you have to close your eyes.
â
âAs if I havenât seen your body before.
â His Adamâs apple made a subtle movement as he spoke with a smile.
âBut Iâll feel self-conscious⦠Lindsey gently nibbled her lower Lip.
Domenicâs eyes darkened, and suddenly, he leaned down to capture her lips in a ki*s, attempting to steal her breath away.
Lindsey couldnât help but encircle her arms around his neck.
His warm presence melted the coldness in her heart.
