Chapter 796
Heartbreak Brings Mr. Right
Lindsey emerged from the bathroom to find Domenic, slipping back into his suit and doing up his tie.
âAre you heading out?â she asked, pausing her hair drying.
Domenic inhaled deeply.
Feeling guilty, he said to Lindsey, âSorry, Linds.
My boss needs me back at work immediately.
Itâs an emergency.
â
Lindsey felt a twinge of disappointment but understood completely.
She knew all too well the demands of work.
âThen you better get going.
And drive safely,â she told him.
âWait for me.
â He gave her a goodbye kiss, and rushed off.
As Domenic walked into the living room of his grandpaâs house, he found Carole in a conversation with his grandpa.
âDomenic, hereâs the plan for your engagement party tomorrow.
Have a look.
â
Jordan offered a piece of paper to Domenic, who didnât accept it.
He responded half-heartedly, âIâll follow whatever you suggest.
â
What captured his interest more was the guest list.
The list featured his relatives and some of his grandfatherâs business associates.
On the other hand, Carole had only just returned to the country and she didnât have many acquaintances in the city.
So Domenic guessed that all their guests had nothing to do with Lindsey.
Domenic cast a glance toward Carole, his expression difficult to read.
Suddenly, Carole approached him, holding a small box.
She said, âDomenic, check out the engagement ring I picked.
Whatâs your opinion?â
She opened the box to reveal a glittering ring with diamonds, named the âHeart Of True Loveâ, which Lindsey admired greatly at the jewelry store.
Domenic briefly replied, âItâs lovely.
â
Carole stepped closer and whispered, âYou have to place this ring on my finger tomorrow.
â
After a brief hesitation, she added, âWe need to convince your grandfather our engagement is genuine.
â
Domenic glanced at his grandfather, who was looking at them with affection.
He then accepted the box and agreed as he said, âOkay.
â
The scene, portraying them as a loving young couple, made Jordan smile contentedly.
Seeing Domenicâs agreement and the hint of warmth in his response, Carole couldnât help but feel a sense of satisfaction.
Unable to contain herself, she chuckled with arrogance, imagining Lindseyâs reaction.
Tomorrow, Lindsey would find out she was merely Domenicâs fling and that only Carole could be his true fiancée.
