Chapter 639
Heartbreak Brings Mr. Right
âJust let me know if they give you a hard time, and Iâll be there to back you up,â Domenic reminded her.
Lindsey chuckled.
âThey wouldnât dare mess with me.
Remember how I stood up to them? I can handle them just fine.
â
Domenic thought about it and agreed.
He raised an eyebrow and playfully touched her nose.
âThatâs why youâre my girl.
â
Lindsey smiled bravely, showing no fear, a look that made Domenic feel a bit uneasy, though he couldnât pinpoint why.
After their farewell, Lindsey packed her things and returned to Bennyâs residence.
It was the weekend, and Benny was there.
He was quite shocked to see Lindsey.
He had asked her to come home several times before, but she had always refused.
Why the sudden change?
Despite his confusion, Benny was thrilled to have Lindsey back.
He hadnât truly severed ties with her.
And with Sheliaâs criminal record, he couldnât rely on her anymore.
Kendra, too, had become distant, especially after his betrayal.
He was anxiously waiting for the birth of Kendraâs baby to see if it was his.
If it was, he would stay with Kendra.
If not, he planned to make her pay.
Benny now valued certainty more than ever.
Juanita and Lindsey seemed much more reliable and excellent than Kendra and Shelia.
If he could maintain good relations with Juanita and Lindsey, his future would be secure.
Benny had even considered remarrying Juanita, but he realized she didnât have feelings for him anymore, especially now that she had risen to a high position.
One good thing about Benny was his self-awareness; he knew better than to bother her further.

Therefore, he still didnât know about Juanitaâs recent accident.
When Lindsey walked in, Benny quickly asked Kendra to prepare juice for Lindsey and took Lindseyâs luggage to her room.
After returning to the living room, Benny and Lindsey sat together on the sofa.
Kendraâs expression soured at the sight of Lindsey.
Lindsey had just insulted her, and her sudden return seemed suspicious to her.
She suspected Lindsey was up to something.
Kendra watched Lindsey closely, determined to stay composed.
She had been through a lot and refused to slip up now.
Lindsey noticed Kendra serving her juice and said with a smile, âKendra, youâve only gotten better at caring for others over the years.
Itâs no surprise you were once a maid.
â
Kendra could tell that Lindsey was mocking her.
She didnât show any anger on her face, but smiled faintly.
âEverything I do is for this family.
â
Lindsey sipped her juice and fell silent.
âLinds, what made you decide to come back home all of a sudden?â
Benny asked.
Setting down her glass on the table, Lindsey replied cheerfully, âWhatâs the matter, Dad? Arenât you happy to see me?â
It had been a long time since Lindsey called Benny âDadâ, which thrilled him.
After their numerous past disagreements, he had thought she no longer accepted him as her father.
