Chapter 690

Reece glanced at his watch and said, “Unfortunately, I have plans tonight.

I’m sorry I can’t make it.

”

“Is it a date with your girlfriend?” Selah chimed in with a smile.

After a brief pause, Reece responded with a soft smile, “Not a girlfriend, just a friend who’s a girl.

”

Lindsey and Selah exchanged a glance with an air of quiet understanding.

“In that case, we won’t intrude on your evening.

Perhaps we can have dinner together another time.

” Lindsey responded with a smile.

“Certainly, that would be fine.

” Reece agreed and then took his leave.

Selah moved beside Lindsey, watching Reece walk away.

“Mr.

Barton seems Like an ideal man.

I wonder what type of woman would catch his and Lindsey playfully teased Selah, “Oh, look at you.

You’ve just gotten out of a marriage and already you’re sizing up the prospects?”

Selah playfully elbowed Lindsey and said, “Stop it.

I’m just curious!”

“Selah, you have so many good men around you.

Arturo, Nicolas, and now Reece.

So you’ve got a lot to choose from!”

Selah, realizing Lindsey was teasing, approached her and started tickling.

“Enough with the teasing!”

“Alright, alright, I’ll stop!” Lindsey’s smile stretched from ear to ear.

Selah ceased her tickling, then gazed into the distance, her voice dropping to a whisper, “What’s so great about Arturo, anyway?”

Meanwhile, Domenic was busy in his office that afternoon.

Suddenly, his phone rang.

He checked his phone and saw it was his grandpa, Jordan, calling.

Jordan seldom called him, which made his heart race.

Domenic inquired, “Grandpa, is everything okay?”

“Can’t I call you just to chat?” Jordan’s tone was light and cheerful, easing Domenic’s concerns.

“Come on, just say it,”

Domenic said softly.

Jordan was straightforward, knowing not to beat around the bush with him, “I’ve invited a friend over for dinner tonight.

You should join us.

”

Domenic glanced at his watch, slightly puzzled.

“Who is this friend?

You haven’t mentioned them before.

”

“This person is very important.

You must come! I don’t care what else you have planned tonight, cancel it.

I’ll send you the details later.

”

When Jordan gave an instruction, it was not to be questioned.
