Chapter 969

Gently propping her up, he called her name softly while offering her the honeyed water.

“Drink this, Miss Stewart.

It’ll help you feel better.

”

In a daze, Lindsey registered the honeyed water and instinctively swallowed.

Seeing her respond, Hendrix felt a wave of reassurance.

Just then, his phone rang-it was Domenic.

Hendrix answered quickly.

Domenic’s deep voice filled the line.

“I’m delayed.

How’s Lindsey?”

Hendrix glanced at Lindsey, still slumped by the sofa.

“She’d had one too many drinks.

”

“One too many drinks, huh?” Domenic’s voice held a hint of edge.

Hendrix quickly explained the situation.

“But I feed her some honeyed water to sober up.

She should be up soon.

”

“Make sure she gets some rest.

Stay with her tonight.

I’m concerned my grandpa might cause trouble.

”

Domenic still wasn’t sure his grandfather had accepted Lindsey.

With the ship full of his associates, he couldn’t risk anything.

The only person he fully trusted was Hendrix.

Hendrix had been his confidant for a decade and wouldn’t betray him.

Only with he around could Domenic feel a semblance of ease.

Once they disembarked the next day, he could ensure Lindsey’s safety.

“Got it.

No worries,” Hendrix replied firmly.

Hanging up, he returned to Lindsey, gently nudging her.

“Wake up, Miss Stewart.

Let’s get you to bed.

”

Blearily, Lindsey opened her eyes at the sound of her name.

When she saw the man before her, a wave of emotion washed over her.

“Domenic.

.

”

To her, the man wasn’t Hendrix, but Domenic.

And the room wasn’t a luxurious suite, but their cozy apartment, their haven.

Everything looked exactly as she remembered, bathed in the soft glow of the living room lamp and a nightlight casting a warm Light.

Cuddled up together on the sofa, they watched a movie they’d seen before.

Disoriented, Lindsey wondered if it was all a dream.

The breakup, Domenic’s identity as the CEO of Vitality Group and heir to the Walsh fortune, his deception-was it all a terrifying figment of her imagination? Were they still living a happy life together?
