Chapter 894

“That’s new to me,” he said, a cold sneer twisting his lips.

“Since you enjoy it so much, order as much as you please.

”

The warmth drained from Carole’s face.

Was Domenic’s coldness towards her because of Lindsey?

But the more he acted that way, the stronger Carole’s competitive spirit flared.

She stayed determined to show Lindsey that she was the one meant for Domenic!

Childhood friends, could someone like Lindsey truly compare?

“Remember how much you loved caviar as a kid, Domenic?” she countered, her voice laced with forced cheer as she flipped through the menu.

“We used to sneak it from the kitchen together.

They have it here, so I’ll order some for you.

”

Lindsey outwardly remained calm, but beneath the table, her fingers tightened into fists.

Why didn’t Domenic’s story about Carole match what she was seeing now?

Domenic slammed his hand down on the menu, pinning it shut.

“Wrong memory, Carole.

Caviar isn’t my thing.

You only lived next door for a few years when we were little.

You moved away when you were eight, and we haven’t seen each other until recently.

”

His words, though directed at Carole, were clearly meant for

AngelasLibrary

Lindsey’s ears.

A sigh of relief escaped Lindsey’s lips.

Carole’s smile became a thin, strained line.

Caviar was his childhood favorite.

He was obviously drawing a clear line, making it known he wasn’t close to her.

Was it to avoid any misunderstanding with

Lindsey?

His heart belonged elsewhere, and he wasn’t afraid to publicly contradict and humiliate her, his fiancée.

A surge of anger and jealousy bubbled within Carole.

Reece, sensing Carole’s distress, attempted to lighten the mood by taking the menu from her.

“The dishes we ordered before were excellent.

Perhaps you’d like to try them as well?”

After placing their orders, an uncomfortable silence settled around the table.

None of them dared to break it.

“Excuse me, I need to use the restroom,” Lindsey announced abruptly, rising from her chair.

Reece quickly stood aside to let her pass.

“Take your time.

”

As a seasoned attorney, he possessed a keen understanding of social etiquette.

However, his gentlemanly gesture piqued Carole’s curiosity.

With narrowed eyes, she studied Reece after Lindsey’s departure.

“Speaking of Miss Stewart, is there something more going on between you two?” she inquired.

“No! Absolutely not!” Reece interrupted her vehemently, his eyes darting nervously towards Domenic.
