Chapter 692

He possessed good looks and carried himself with a quiet charm that could set any woman’s heart aflutter upon seeing him.

She was no different.

“Domenic, there you are!” Jordan gave Domenic a friendly wave, signaling him to join and have a seat.

Domenic glanced at the woman by Jordan’s side, then chose a seat slightly away from her.

“Domenic, meet Ms.

Carole Larson, the person I was telling you about earlier.

” Jordan was eager to make the introduction between her and Domenic.

Upon hearing her name, Domenic’s icy gaze lifted, and he regarded her with astonishment.

With a warm smile, Carole greeted, “Long time no see, Domenic.

”

Yes, it had been a long time.

Back in the day, when Domenic found himself stuck in the cellar, it was Carole who came to his rescue.

She used to live nearby but later moved away, and they never crossed paths again.

Domenic’s brow creased slightly, puzzled by her sudden appearance and her apparent closeness with his grandpa.

Jordan could see the skepticism on Domenic’s face.

He explained, “Carole is the lone child of my comrade-in-arms.

I raised her and set her up in the house next to mine.

Later, I sent her abroad for the finest education.

No woman can match her in terms of knowledge and character.

Domenic, she came back from abroad to marry you.

”

Domenic’s eyes widened.

He turned to Jordan, his voice low, “Could you repeat that?”

Witnessing his usually composed grandson reveal such a_ surprised expression, Jordan grinned and remarked, “Remember I promised to assist you with the marriage thing? Carole saved your life back then, and I raised her.

She’s the perfect wife for you.

”

In the past, the marriages within the Walsh family primarily revolved around forging alliances.

However, Jordan harbored some doubts.

He feared people from other families might have evil intentions and didn’t want to entrust the future of the Walsh Group to them.

Moreover, the Walsh Group was on the rise, and there was no necessity to partner with another family through marriage.

Carole had a spotless history, and he had nurtured her since she was a child, making her akin to an adopted daughter.

His comrade-in-arms had saved his life on the battlefield, and his daughter, in turn, had saved Domenic.

Jordan saw this as destiny.

Throughout the years, he sent Carole overseas to groom her for marriage to Domenic and to prepare her for leading the Walsh family alongside Domenic.

In terms of manners, education, or refinement, Carole outshone all the highborn ladies of Morcastle.

Jordan believed that marrying her to Domenic was the best way to secure the Walsh Group’s future under Domenic’s leadership.

Domenic, with a frown, responded in a cold voice, “Grandpa, I have no plans to marry just yet.

”

Carole pressed her lips together, sensing that Domenic didn’t want to marry her.

A faint shadow crossed her eyes.

Upon hearing Domenic’s words, a crease formed on Jordan’s forehead as he inquired, “Domenic, it’s been years since you had a girlfriend.

Weren’t you holding out for Carole? I still remember you were reluctant to part with her when she left.

”

Carole once saved Domenic’s life and became his friend.

Even though he had a good opinion of her then, marriage was never on his mind.
