Chapter 88

“Mr.

Walsh, when can I return this dress?” she asked in a desperate attempt to change the subject.

“I’ll send it back tomorrow.

”

“Oh, I don’t want to inconvenience you.

Give me the address and I’ll send it back myself.

”

“You’re my fiancée, remember? No need to be so formal with me.

”

“What’re you talking about?” Lindsey looked at him in surprise.

Twiddling her thumbs nervously, she started to say, “That engagement was just for show.

Don’t take it seriously-“

Just then, Lindsey raised her head, and once again, their eyes met.

There was something unfathomable in his eyes that seemed to tug at Lindsey’s heartstrings.

But it was the playful smile tugging at the corners of his lips that made Lindsey fall silent; it turned out that he was only joking.

Lindsey couldn’t help but feel a little disappointed.

She didn’t know why though.

Was it because she actually wanted him to treat her as though she was his fiancée?

Lindsey shook her head in a hurry, trying to drive these weird thoughts away.

They were just friends and roommates.

How could he see her any other way?

Moreover, what would he think if he found out that she had slept with a complete stranger?

Would he see her differently?

Thinking of this, Lindsey’s heart sank.

If only that stupid one-night stand had never happened!

But if it hadn’t happened, she never would’ve met Domenic.

As the summer breeze whistled past them, Lindsey gave up overthinking and just let Domenic hold her hand as they headed home.

That night, in the house of the Stewart family.

Shelia buried her face in Kendra’s thighs and cried bitterly while Benny paced back and forth in the living room.

“It’s all Lindsey’s fault! Dad kicked her out, so now she’s venting her anger on me! She obviously doesn’t want me to be happy!” Shelia had told Kendra and Benny a version of what had happened at the party, adding colorful details to it.

Of course, she never admitted that she was the one who stole the ring in the first place.

Instead, she painted a picture in which it was Lindsey who had set a trap for her.

“Benny, Shelia might not be your biological daughter, but you can’t just let Lindsey bully her like this!” Kendra wept, “She has so much money now, yet she refuses to help our family get through financial difficulties.

Shelia worked so hard to get into Vitality Entertainment, but in the blink of an eye, Lindsey ruined her career!”

“Enough!” The more Benny heard about it, the more annoyed he became.

He snapped at Kendra and then stormed to the bedroom crossly.

Lindsey was such an ungrateful child! He would get even with her sooner or later!

After he left, Kendra instantly stopped crying, and a cold, vicious smile tugged at her Lips.

“Mom, what am I going to do?” Shelia sobbed pitifully.
