Chapter 689

Lindsey continued, snuggling closer with a laugh.

“Imagine, my boyfriend a big shot? How could I not know? It’s so funny.

”

Domenic tightened his hold on her, his expression turning serious.

Domenic didn’t say a single word in response to Lindsey’s comments.

She lifted her gaze to the man standing before her and said, “Are you paying attention?”

Domenic snapped out of his trance.

With a soft smile, he answered, “Yes, I am.

”

He looked down at the woman in his embrace and asked with a hint of amusement, “Would it make you happy to find out I’m actually part of the Walsh family?”

Lindsey sat up, her lips tightly pressed and then she replied, “No, it wouldn’t.

”

“Why not?” Domenic frowned.

“First, it would mean you’re not being honest with me.

You’d just be toying with my feelings.

Secondly, marrying into wealthy families can sometimes feel constricting, resembling a sense of imprisonment.

How often do women who marry into such families truly find happiness? I cherish my freedom and don’t want to be constrained.

If you belong to this wealthy family, then perhaps we’re not right for each other.

”

After sharing her candid thoughts, Lindsey nestled back into Domenic’s arms, smiling contentedly.

“But I know you’re not, so these concerns don’t matter.

”

Domenic remained silent for a long time after hearing this, his eyes reflecting a touch of sadness.

He hadn’t anticipated her perspective.

How could he make her understand and accept the truth?

Domenic felt troubled.

But right now, his priority was to officially take over the Walsh Group.

As for Lindsey, he believed he could explain everything to her later.

The following day, they received great news from court.

Selah’s divorce case, represented by Reece, had been a resounding success.

Andrew received a twenty-year prison sentence, and the court finalized their divorce.

Finally, Selah was totally free from her unhappy marriage.

By the time Lindsey got to the courthouse after her work, the trial had concluded.

Selah and Reece were exiting the courtroom, ready to speak to the media.

The reporters quickly noticed Lindsey and swarmed around her.

Once they managed to get through the group of reporters, they took a moment to catch their breath.

“Mr.

Barton, your pro bono defense for Selah was remarkable.

Thank you so much.

” Lindsey expressed her gratitude to Reece earnestly.

This was her first encounter with the famed lawyer.

He was as amiable as she had imagined, donned in a dark blue suit that accentuated his elegance and sophistication.

Reece surveyed Lindsey from head to toe.

Narrowing his eyes, he said, “You’re welcome, Miss Stewart.

Your name has been quite prominent lately.

”

Lindsey assumed her frequent media appearances had made her a familiar name to Reece.

She replied with a shy smile, “That’s very kind of you.

Are you available tonight? We could have dinner together.

”
