Chapter 601
Heartbreak Brings Mr. Right
Lindsey pressed her lips, and her displeasure was evident.
Juanita chuckled.
âWell then, why bother asking me?â
âBecause youâre my mom.
I hold you in high regard.
â Lindsey said.
Juanita shook her head, a hint of resignation in her smile.
âAlright, but I still donât approve of you two until I know more about him.
Iâm not some heartless mother.
Since itâs his birthday, Iâll make an exception.
â
âThank you!â Lindsey embraced Juanita and planted a ki*s on her cheek.
Their bond was growing stronger with each passing day.
Juanita wrapped her arms around Lindsey and smiled warmly.
Over the past few days, the individuals Juanita had dispatched to dig into Domenicâs background hadnât turned up any valuable information.
She had a vague sense that this man was extraordinary.
On the evening of that banquet, he had effortlessly won over the prominent figures in attendance with just a few words.
Now, she reasoned that these big shots had encountered different people and were adept at assessing character.
So, who exactly was this man? What secrets was he keeping?
For the sake of her daughterâs lifelong happiness, Juanita was determined to unravel this mystery.
She had even tapped intoLMH Groupâs connections and presumed that answers would surface shortly.
On Domenicâs birthday, Lindsey finished her work early in the morning and delegated the remaining tasks to Nancy.
When she stepped out of her office, she called Domenic.
âAre you still at work?â
âNo, I requested the day off today,â Domenic replied in a magnetic voice.
âReally? Where are you now?â
âIâm at St.
Paulâs Church.
â
Lindsey felt a touch of surprise.
Domenic had never stepped foot in a church before.
So why had he requested time off to go to one today?
But she chose not to delve further into it.
Instead, she gazed at the rosewood bracelet in her bag and smiled.
âI have some good news for you.
Iâll be back tonight!â
âOkay.
Domenic didnât respond with the excitement she had anticipated; instead, he replied calmly.
Lindsey experienced a slight disappointment, but she uttered softly, âIâll see you tonight, then.
â
Following the phone call, Domenic remained seated in the deserted church.
It wasnât a Sunday, so only a few people were present.
He directed his gaze at the massive cross ahead.
His deep, unyielding eyes held melancholy that couldnât be dissolved.
