Chapter 705
Heartbreak Brings Mr. Right
t was as if the matter had never been broached.
Gazing around, memories flooded back for Lindsey-the first visit with Domenic, their shared purchases and laughter.
A smile graced her lips involuntarily.
In that moment, a memory interrupted her thoughtsâa moment when Domenic wielded a fake VIP card from the mall to embarrass her rival, Mary.
That incident had led Lindsey to receive a dress worth a whopping 560, 000, completely free of charge.
Lost in recollection, Lindsey found herself a little distracted, unconsciously gravitating towards the entrance of a clothing store.
Following her gaze, Sumner offered softly, âWould you like to go in and take a look? Iâll accompany you.
â
Acknowledging the steep prices of the garments, Lindsey decided to enter with Sumner, content with perusing the more affordable styles.
Upon entering, her eyes fell on a lady stepping out of the fitting room, adorned in an outfit akin to the white evening gown Lindsey had once worn, but with a more casual flair.
She poised before a man, her hands delicately clasped together.
With two gracefully arched eyebrows and clear eyes, she exuded an aura of elegance and sophistication.
A subtle flush adorned her cheeks as she inquired, âDomenic, how about this one?â
Lindseyâs heart raced as she peered at the manâs back, her scrutiny turning swiftly to shock.
At first glance, he seemed vaguely familiar, but now it dawned on her-it was unmistakably Domenic!
How could he be here, in such an upscale clothing store, accompanied by such a refined woman?
Sumner, too, recognized the duo and squinted, observing the unfolding scene.
With Lindsey catching Domenic red-handed, Sumner was absolved of the burden of divulging the truth.
A faint smirk graced Sumnerâs lips as he eagerly anticipated the drama about to unravel before them.
Carole turned her head towards the trio, registering their stares.
Her expression froze momentarily.
She recognized Sumner, and the girl beside him who was fixedly gazing at Domenic, making her profoundly uncomfortable.
Upon noticing Caroleâs altered expression, Domenic pivoted around, meeting Lindseyâs gaze.
His pupils contracted suddenly, his usual cold and detached demeanor now firm and unyielding.
Lindsey? Why was she here?
Domenicâs gaze shifted to Sumner, who stood alongside Lindsey.
A puzzled frown creased Domenicâs forehead.
Did Sumner bring her here?
Did she already know about what had transpired last night?
With furrowed brows, Domenic turned away, feigning ignorance towards Lindsey.
However, Carole, astute and perceptive, sensed an air of unease in the situation.
