Chapter 695

Carole asked calmly, “Are you reluctant to marry me?”

Domenic’s expression remained unchanged.

“I’ve always remembered your kindness in saving my life, but Carole, that’s all.

”

Carole, being an intelligent woman, grasped what Domenic meant.

He felt gratitude toward her but harbored no romantic feelings.

Feeling a pang, Carole chuckled.

“I’ve always seen you as a brother.

When I saved you, you promised to fulfill a wish for me.

Do you remember?”

Domenic’s gaze turned somber.

He did make a promise.

Carole had rescued him from the cellar when he was nearly at his end.

He had promised to repay her and grant her a wish in the future.

Reflecting on this, Domenic said in a deep voice, “Yes, I do.

”

Carole smiled slightly.

“I haven’t decided on my wish yet.

But when I do, I hope you’ll keep your promise.

Regarding your grandpa, I suggest you not oppose him.

When I find opportunities to persuade him, perhaps he’ll understand and eventually give up.

Marriage should be based on love.

I don’t want to be arranged.

”

Carole spoke with a gentle tone, maintaining a pleasant smile that made her words far from annoying.

Domenic’s expression softened as he realized Carole had no interest in marrying him.

He looked at her tenderly and spoke slowly, saying, “Thank you.

”

After uttering those words, Domenic turned around and walked away.

Yet, Carole’s initially gentle eyes gradually dimmed as she watched his departing figure, slowly clenching her hands.

As the dinner ended, Sumner stepped out to settle the bill.

AS soon as he walked into the hall, his eyes were drawn to a familiar, towering figure.

He spotted Domenic standing outside the restaurant through the revolving glass door.

Domenic was clad in a finely tailored suit, exuding an air of nobility and sophistication.

Beside him stood a woman of exquisite beauty and grace.

The woman gracefully tilted her chin, fixing her fiery gaze upon Domenic while addressing him with a sweet, enchanting smile.

Sumner’s pupils contracted.

He instinctively withdrew his mobile phone and captured a moment of the two figures.
