Chapter 693
Heartbreak Brings Mr. Right
Jordanâs influence prevented him from dating any woman, fearing they might vanish Like the others who had become close to him.
Domenic said coldly, âGrandpa, youâre reading too much into it.
Carole and I were just friends.
My attention is on the company; thereâs no room for anything else.
â
âYouâre approaching thirty! How can I trust you to take charge of the Walsh Group if youâre not married yet? Do you plan to stay single forever?â Jordanâs anger escalated visibly.
Domenic narrowed his eyes, suppressing his emotions.
Firmly, he asserted, âGrandpa, Iâm open to your guidance on everything else, but marrying a friend I havenât seen in years isnât feasible.
Iâm sorry, but I canât do it.
â
âYou⦠youâ¦â 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, âMr.
Walsh, heâs correct.
We havenât seen each other in years.
Getting married suddenly is too much for both of us.
Itâs understandable that he needs time to process it.
â
Her words soothed Jordan, swiftly calming his anger.
He gazed at Carole with a broad smile and conceded, âYouâre correct.
Youâve only just returned.
Itâs important to build a strong relationship with him first.
I acted too hastily.
â
Carole nodded gracefully, a serene smile gracing her face.
Jordan held a strong liking for her.
âBut marry soon so I can be at ease,â Jordan insisted, patting Caroleâs hand, then turned a stern gaze toward Domenic.
âGet to know Carole better; sheâs exceptional, and youâll come to like her.
â
âGrandpa, does it really matter whether I Like her or not? Have you ever taken my feelings and preferences into consideration?â
âWhat did you say?â Jordan forcefully pounded the table, asserting his authority.
Domenic repeatedly confronted him today, leaving him quite displeased.
He had meticulously planned Domenicâs 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.
âMr.
Walsh, perhaps he was too tired today thatâs why he is in a bad mood.
Iâll have a private conversation with him later.
Iâve been on the plane for over ten hours, and Iâm feeling famished.
â Holding Jordanâs arm, Carole managed to calm his anger with just a few words.
Jordanâs face immediately brightened.
âOh, itâs my fault.
Waiters, bring in the dishes!â
Domenic lifted his gaze to meet Caroleâs, and she responded with a warm smile.
