Chapter 700

However, since she had saved his life in the past, he treated her with respect.

Despite not receiving a direct answer, Carole nodded obediently, appreciating Domenic’s concern.

Carole only snapped back to reality after Domenic got into the car and drove away.

She nervously bit her lower lip.

Ever since she first met Domenic and rescued him from the cellar, she had fallen deeply in love with him.

Later, she felt immense joy when Jordan expressed his desire for her to become his granddaughter—in-law.

Following that, she clung to the hope of becoming Domenic’s wife.

She endured considerable hardships and made significant sacrifices just to return and marry him.

Hence, she was determined to do whatever it took to make him fall in love with her.

She had no intention of marrying anyone else; it was the sole purpose she lived for.

As she slowly unclenched her fists, Carole reverted to her gentle demeanor, returning to the mansion.

Upon spotting Jordan, a sweet smile adorned Carole’s face.

She swiftly approached, taking a seat beside him.

“Let’s have a chat now!”

Jordan gazed at her with delight, unable to suppress a sigh.

He gently patted Carole’s hand and remarked, “Carole, you’re incredibly understanding and kind.

If I were in your shoes, I’d encourage him to stay.

It’s not uncommon for other bold women to try and approach him.

You should keep a close watch on your man.

”

Wearing a subtle smile, Carole ran her fingers through her long hair cascading over her shoulder, casting her gaze downward.

“Love can’t be forced.

If Domenic doesn’t love me, what’s the point of him staying? Perhaps he already has a girlfriend, and that’s why he’s reluctant to marry me.

”

Jordan was momentarily taken aback.

He shook his head decisively and responded, “That’s impossible.

How could I not be aware if he had a girlfriend?”

“Maybe… he might be keeping it a secret from you.

” Carole lifted her gaze, that young man’s words still lingering in her mind.

Regardless of Lindsey’s intentions-whether she had ill intentions towards Domenic or had a special relationship with him-Carole felt the need to unravel the truth and ensure Lindsey’s presence would no longer be an obstacle in her relationship with Domenic.

“You mentioned he refrained from having a girlfriend because he was waiting for me all these years.

Yet, now that I’m back, he seems indifferent.

If he has fallen in love with someone else, I’ll step back.

I’ll do anything as long as he’s happy.

” Tears welled up in Carole’s eyes, rendering her vulnerable.

Carole’s words made Jordan suspicious about Domenic’s relationship status.

It seemed odd that Domenic had been single for so long.

Was his grandson keeping a secret from him?

“I’ll get to the bottom of this,” Jordan declared with a frown.

Carole hastily grabbed Jordan’s hand and urged, “Please don’t confront Domenic directly.

If he learns I spilled the beans, he’ll hate me.

”

Jordan gave Carole a reassuring look and said, “Don’t fret.

I’ll look into it discretely.

”

Carole nodded and leaned on Jordan’s shoulder, confessing, “You’re like family to me.

I don’t have anyone else.

I’ve always considered you my grandfather.

Without you, I wouldn’t be where I am today.

Whether I end up with Domenic or not, you’ll always be a grandpa to me.

”

Touched, Jordan patted Carole’s hand and said softly, “You’re my only granddaughter-in-law.

I’ll make sure Domenic marries you.

”
