Chapter 693

Jordan’s influence prevented him from dating any woman, fearing they might vanish Like the others who had become close to him.

Domenic said coldly, “Grandpa, you’re reading too much into it.

Carole and I were just friends.

My attention is on the company; there’s no room for anything else.

”

“You’re approaching thirty! How can I trust you to take charge of the Walsh Group if you’re not married yet? Do you plan to stay single forever?” Jordan’s anger escalated visibly.

Domenic narrowed his eyes, suppressing his emotions.

Firmly, he asserted, “Grandpa, I’m open to your guidance on everything else, but marrying a friend I haven’t seen in years isn’t feasible.

I’m sorry, but I can’t do it.

”

“You… you…” Jordan stammered out of anger.

This marked the first time Domenic stood his ground.

Carole intervened as Jordan was on the verge of losing his temper and stated, “Mr.

Walsh, he’s correct.

We haven’t seen each other in years.

Getting married suddenly is too much for both of us.

It’s understandable that he needs time to process it.

”

Her words soothed Jordan, swiftly calming his anger.

He gazed at Carole with a broad smile and conceded, “You’re correct.

You’ve only just returned.

It’s important to build a strong relationship with him first.

I acted too hastily.

”

Carole nodded gracefully, a serene smile gracing her face.

Jordan held a strong liking for her.

“But marry soon so I can be at ease,” Jordan insisted, patting Carole’s hand, then turned a stern gaze toward Domenic.

“Get to know Carole better; she’s exceptional, and you’ll come to like her.

”

“Grandpa, does it really matter whether I Like her or not? Have you ever taken my feelings and preferences into consideration?”

“What did you say?” Jordan forcefully pounded the table, asserting his authority.

Domenic repeatedly confronted him today, leaving him quite displeased.

He had meticulously planned Domenic’s marriage for years, and Carole, the girl he found for Domenic, possessed knowledge, beauty, and generosity.

How could Domenic fail to appreciate his efforts?

Furthermore, Domenic went as far as embarrassing him multiple times in front of Carole.

Jordan was on the brink of losing his temper.

“Mr.

Walsh, perhaps he was too tired today that’s why he is in a bad mood.

I’ll have a private conversation with him later.

I’ve been on the plane for over ten hours, and I’m feeling famished.

” Holding Jordan’s arm, Carole managed to calm his anger with just a few words.

Jordan’s face immediately brightened.

“Oh, it’s my fault.

Waiters, bring in the dishes!”

Domenic lifted his gaze to meet Carole’s, and she responded with a warm smile.
