Chapter 65
Heartbreak Brings Mr. Right
In the evening, Lindsey went home to pack her things.
Fortunately, no one was home; Benny mustâve taken Kendra and Shelia out for dinner.
Thinking of this, Lindsey smiled bitterly.
It was good that she didnât have to face them, but her fatherâs betrayal still stung.
She didnât have much Luggage.
Domenic offered to help her carry her things, but she had refused and insisted that he wait for her at the gate to her neighborhood.
Before long, they were in a taxi heading to Domenicâs residence.
After paying the fare, Domenic got out, took the luggage out of the trunk in one hand, and held Lindseyâs hand with the other.
Together, they walked towards the gate to his neighborhood.
Although the guard didnât know who Domenic was exactly, he did know that this young man occasionally drove a luxury car worth millions of dollars in and out of the neighborhood.
The guard just figured that Domenic was a rich and powerful boss.
âGood evening, sir.
â The guard bowed respectfully to him.
âThis is my fiancée.
Sheâs moving in with me.
â
Lindsey first looked up at him in shock, but soon, she calmed down.
Perhaps he was just saying this to save them from unnecessary trouble.
The guard looked at Lindsey and nodded politely.
âOkay, Iâll inform the property manager to enter your fiancéeâs information into the communityâs database as soon as possible.
â
This was Lindseyâs second time here, but she felt completely different from the first.
She took her luggage into a guest room, feeling a little excited.
Domenic had already asked his cleaning lady to clean the place in advance, and even all the bedding was new.
After unpacking her luggage and changing into comfortable clothes, Lindsey walked into the living room with a bright smile on her face.
There, she found Domenic in a pair of gold-rimmed glasses reading a book on the sofa.
In his navy blue robe, white T-shirt, and blue pajama pants, he looked quite relaxed.
The yellow Light emanating from the lamp enveloped his chiseled face in a warm glow, which made him look much gentler than usual.
When he saw Lindsey come out of the room, he asked casually without looking away from the book, âDid you get into a fight with your family?â
Lindsey pursed her lips.
She knew that there was no point in hiding it from him, so she came clean and said, âYes.
â
âIs it because of what happened at the engagement party?â
âNo.
â Lindsey shook her head immediately.
She didnât want Domenic to think it was his fault.
âWe fought over something else.
â
Frowning, Domenic put the book down and looked at her.
âSo, the woman we ran into that day was your sister?â
Knowing that he was referring to Shelia, Lindsey smiled bitterly.
âStepsister, actually.
Weâre not related by blood.
She just graduated recently, which is why sheâs back.
â
âSounds like you have a difficult relationship with her.
â
âBeyond that, weâ¦â Speaking of this, Lindseyâs voice trailed off.
She had a lot of complaints about her family, but she didnât want to air out her dirty laundry with Domenic, so she swallowed back her grievances and said simply, âItâs no big deal, really.
Just some family drama.
