Chapter 953

Domenic grabbed her wrist from behind and chuckled softly.

“This is my room, so you have to follow my lead.

”

With that, he pulled her into the bedroom without any objections from her.

Lindsey resisted a bit, and he spoke up.

“I can’t relax until I’m out there keeping an eye on you.

This isn’t my territory, after all.

”

Lindsey felt touched, so she stopped resisting and allowed Domenic to lead her into the bedroom.

She sat down on the edge of the bed as he half squatted in front of her, reaching out to take off her high heels.

Her red feet were exposed, and she instinctively pulled them back.

But Domenic grabbed her ankle and held it firmly.

He got up and grabbed slippers from the bedside table.

Coming back to Lindsey, he squatted down to slip the slippers onto her feet.

Watching his gentle and caring gesture, Lindsey clenched her teeth and reminded herself that it might just be an act, and she wouldn’t fall for it anymore.

“Thanks.

” She murmured softly.

Domenic glanced up at her, and when their eyes met, she quickly looked away.

“You must be very tired from wearing those heels for so long.

I’ll go get you some warm water to soak your feet.

”

“No, I’m fine,” Lindsey said hastily, grabbing her clothes.

“You’re the CEO of the Vitality Group.

You shouldn’t be doing this.

I can handle it myself.

”

After hearing her, Domenic stopped in his tracks, turned around, and gently took her hand.

He gave her a small smile and said, “To you, I’ll always be the caring Domenic.

”

His words hit her hard, making her clench her fists instinctively.

Just then, the doorbell rang unexpectedly.

Domenic frowned and said to Lindsey softly, “Hold on a sec.

”

Domenic approached the suite’s door and swung it open.

Standing there, with a mild smile, was his grandpa’s butler Franklin.

“Sir,” Franklin began, “your grandpa has sent me to extend an invitation to you for the cruise party.

”

A shadow passed over Domenic’s eyes.

“I’m not keen on attending.

I just had a falling out with my grandpa.

My presence might just ruin his evening further.

”

Franklin glanced past Domenic into the room, his smile unwavering.

“Actually, he specifically wants you to come along with Miss Stewart.

”

Domenic’s brow furrowed in confusion.

His grandpa had just tried to send them packing, yet now he had sent his butler to personally invite him and Lindsey to the party.

What was he really up to?

“He was quite upset earlier and may have spoken harshly.

He’s had time to reflect and now feels some remorse,” Franklin explained calmly.

“He believes that one shouldn’t force feelings.

He mentioned that since you hold Miss Stewart in high regard, you should introduce her formally, allowing him to see her virtues for himself.

He is also eager to learn more about her.

”

“Did he really say all that?” Domenic asked, his gaze sharp and probing.
