Chapter 943

He had never seen such an enchanting place, which seemed straight out of a fairy tale.

He thought to himself that only angels could reside in such a heavenly place, and they must be both mighty and kind!

At that moment, he couldn’t imagine that this stunning location would turn into his worst nightmare.

Once the car halted, Domenic eagerly jumped out.

He inhaled deeply, savoring the sweet freshness of the manor’s air.

His mother grasped his hand and whispered, “It’s vast inside.

Keep a tight hold of my hand so you don’t get lost.

”

“Mom, have you been to this place before?” he asked while following his mother inside.

Lucy shook her head, saying, “This is my first time here too.

”

“But you don’t seem excited at all.

” Domenic made a face.

He was skeptical of his mother’s words.

He suspected she might have visited previously with his father, but hadn’t included him!

Lucy paused, crouched down in front of him with a tender smile, and gently said, “Wealth and status are merely external.

Don’t focus too much on them.

What’s truly important is to follow your heart and choose your own path, without letting these things make you lose your way.

”

At that moment, Domenic nodded, though he was still a bit puzzled.

He then continued into the grand manor with his mother.

Inside, his grandfather and three uncles were waiting on the sofa.

Upon seeing them, Domenic felt a shiver and instinctively hid behind his mother.

“Finally back home?” Jordan glanced at them and snorted.

Domenic’s three uncles exchanged looks, got up, and warmly invited them to sit down.

“It’s great to see you guys back!” Rupert said and waved at Domenic.

Witnessing the scene, Lucy gently nudged Domenic from behind.

He then walked forward, feeling a bit embarrassed, and stood before Rupert.

Rupert, his kind eyes twinkling and a gentle smile lighting up his face, cheerfully said to Domenic, “You are truly a handsome and talented young man.

You’re welcome to live here from now on.

Whatever your heart desires, just let me know.

Even if you want the stars from the sky, I’ll find a way to get them for you!”

“Really?” Domenic’s eyes widened in innocent curiosity.

Unable to fully grasp the adults’ words, he asked, “Can the stars really be taken off?”

His question elicited a chorus of laughter from everyone present.

Even Jordan’s usually stern expression softened as his gaze settled on Domenic.

Back then, Domenic thought he was blessed with a kind-hearted family.

Although his grandfather was a bit strict, his uncles were all incredibly kind, especially Uncle Rupert, whom he adored the most.

Reflecting on this, Domenic closed his eyes and let out a deep sigh.

“In that case, why did they…” Lindsey pondered, unable to fathom why Domenic’s uncles would later commit such cruel acts against him.

And what had happened to his parents? Lindsey was desperate to unravel the mystery behind Domenic’s tragic past.

“Later…” Domenic looked up at the twinkling stars, a bitter smile curving his lips.

“Later, I learned that the human heart can be deceitful.

Those smiling faces were mere masks concealing their cruelty.

They had already decided to get rid of us when my parents and I returned.

On my tenth birthday, Uncle Rupert and several other uncles tampered with my father’s car.

It lost control on the highway, resulting in a catastrophic accident.

My mother was trapped in the car, while my father and I were pulled out.

Despite knowing the car was on the verge of exploding, my father chose to rush back to save my mother.

Both of them perished in the explosion.

I can’t fathom why my father would abandon me, why he would return to a certain death…”

Domenic narrated his tale with a calm exterior, yet listening to it was enough to make Lindsey feel as if a giant hand was squeezing her heart, making it hard to breathe.
