Chapter 891

Reece leaned forward, his chin resting on his hands, determined to get to the bottom of the matter.

It seemed he wouldn’t assist

Lindsey unless she answered honestly.

Taking a deep breath, Lindsey confessed, “He… he is my boyfriend, but ” But they might be on the verge of breaking up.

Lindsey didn’t finish her sentence, lowering her gaze in gloom.

Reece’s eyes flashed with surprise, yet he began to piece things together.

When Domenic had asked him to defend Selah for free, Reece suspected it was for someone else’s sake.

Emilio had told him it wasn’t for Selah.

Later, Reece discovered that the person most closely linked to the matter, besides Selah, was Lindsey.

Reece had always been curious about who could warrant such a significant favor from Domenic.

Now he had his answer.

Bunny Bookery

But he was puzzled.

Wasn’t Domenic engaged to Carole? How could he also be Lindsey’s boyfriend?

Lindsey noticed Reece frowning and lost in thought.

Curious, she asked, “Mr.

Barton, you surely know Domenic, right?”

Reece came back to the moment and offered Lindsey a smile.

“Yes, I do know him.

”

“And how did you two meet?” Lindsey straightened up, her gaze sharpening with curiosity.

It was unexpected for her that Domenic, whom she had known for months, was connected to Reece, a renowned lawyer.

She wondered if he had anything to do with the divorce case of Selah…

Reece began, “He and I… actually…”

But he stopped mid-sentence, his eyes suddenly widening as he Looked over Lindsey’s shoulder.

Following his gaze, Lindsey turned around and gasped in surprise.

There stood Domenic and Carole, also looking startled, just a short distance away.

Domenic regained his composure quickly.

“It’s too crowded here.

Let’s try a different restaurant.

”

Carole glanced quickly at Lindsey, her lips pursing in disapproval.

“But this place was reserved by your grandfather especially for you.

Wouldn’t it upset him if we left?”

Upon hearing that, Domenic’s brow furrowed slightly.

Before he could respond, Reece stood and waved energetically.

Noticing this, Carole tugged at Domenic’s sleeve and, with a gentle smile, led him towards Reece.

Taking a deep breath, Domenic reluctantly followed.

“Reece!” Feigning ignorance of Lindsey’s presence, Carole warmly greeted Reece, “It’s great to see you here!”

Reece, with a gentle expression, nodded toward Lindsey, who was seated opposite him.

“Miss Stewart invited me,” he explained.

Carole’s eyes narrowed into a subtle, mocking smile as she turned to face Lindsey.
