Chapter 775
Heartbreak Brings Mr. Right
Domenic wasnât truly upset and ended the call.
With his plans set in motion, Domenic felt a wave of relief.
He was close to securing the Walsh Groupâs shares to bring his uncles to heel.
Then, nothing would stand in the way of his union with Lindsey.
A joyful wedding awaited them, with everyone as witnesses.
He hoped Lindsey would forgive the secrets and schemes along the way, trusting in her understanding.
As Domenic thought about Lindsey waiting for him at home, his heart grew tender.
He left Hendrix with a few easy tasks because he wanted to spend time with his girlfriend.
Holding the top-notch beef and tomatoes Hendrix had picked out, Domenic walked out of the office, smiling softly.
Being around Lindsey, he felt a strong desire to start a family.
Her company brought him to life, letting him fully embrace the joy of being with someone.
When he got home, the place was empty.
The light was on in their cozy bedroom, yet Lindsey was nowhere to be seen.
Her coats were still there, suggesting she hadnât gone too far.
Even though Domenic guessed Lindsey might have stepped out to grab a delivery, he couldnât shake off his concern and decided to call her.
As soon as she answered, he heard the beep of a mobile payment in the background, then Lindseyâs voice.
âYouâre home? Iâm just at the supermarket nearby, grabbing a few things.
Iâll be home in no time!â
Hearing her voice, Domenic laughed, letting go of the stress his grandfather had caused him.
He teased, with a playful tone of disappointment, âWerenât you looking forward to my tomato beef stew tonight? I went out of my way to get beef and tomatoes for it, but it seems someoneâs not here to enjoy itâ¦â
âIs that so? And here I was thinking you had plans without me again tonight!â Lindsey, laden with shopping bags, couldnât hide her excitement at the news of Domenicâs return.
âDid you wrap everything up at work?â
Domenic felt a rush of warmth.
Lindsey was so caring and considerate.
Resting against the shoe rack at the entrance, Domenic replied softly, âThe boss decided to head out early to be with his wife, and he kindly asked me to do the same.
â
Lindseyâs cheeks turned pink immediately.
She felt as if she was floating on a cloud of marshmallow, overwhelmed by its sweetness.
âLast time, you said youâd show me how to cook.
What about doing that today? You relax, and Iâll run back to buy some extra veggies!â
With Domenicâs packed schedule, it was hard to say when theyâd get another opportunity.
Shortly after, the gentle sound of the door announced Lindseyâs return.
She stood there, not in a coat, but in a soft yellow pajama top, looking as sweet as a little dessert.
âIâve picked up a bunch of vegetables.
You have to share all your cooking tips with me today.
That way, I can make dinner for you whenever I finish work early!â
Domenic felt deeply touched by her gesture.
He reached out to embrace Lindsey, but in a flash, she darted towards the kitchen, playfully calling out, âCome on.
Iâll start with the veggies.
â
