Chapter 984

“I wronged Linds, and I will do whatever it takes to make it up to her,” he said, his words carrying a weight of resolve.

Hearing his seemingly perfunctory response, Juanita felt a surge of anger rose within her.

“Mr.

Walsh, there’s no need for you to make it up to her.

The best thing you can do is leave her alone from now on.

Linds is simple and innocent; she can’t deal with the complications of your wealthy family.

Since you two have already broken up, please, let her go.

”

Juanita’s calm voice had a cold edge as she stared at Domenic.

“Besides, Linds has been engaged to Sumner for a while.

He’s her fiancé, and they’re supposed to get married.

”

Domenic’s eyes narrowed instantly.

“She’s engaged to Sumner?”

Juanita nodded.

“She never told you? That’s something you should’ve known.

Now that you do, I hope you’ll let them be together.

”

Domenic’s hands tightened up.

So, Lindsey and Sumner were engaged, and she hadn’t bothered to tell it to him.

So much for being honest.

Suddenly, it dawned on him that Lindsey had her own secrets.

Her relationship with Sumner wasn’t as straightforward as she had made it seem.

Maybe she never planned to marry him and had always intended to be with Sumner.

“Even if you love Linds, can you really marry her?” Juanita pressed on, her gaze steady.

She understood the tough realities of high society and the rigid standards wealthy families held for their daughters-in-law.

They’d never approve of someone outside their social circle.

Domenic stayed silent, his hands clenching tightly.

He had given Carole a written promise never to marry Lindsey.

He couldn’t give Juanita an answer.

Seeing his silence, Juanita became even more convinced that Domenic had no plans to marry Lindsey.

She scoffed, “You and Linds are from different worlds.

Your wife will be a high society match.

I’m sorry, but my daighter doesn’t fit the bill.

If there’s nothing else, I’m tired and need to rest.

”

Juanita closed her eyes, dismissing him.

She couldn’t afford to offend Domenic, so she spoke politely, hoping he would get the message and keep his distance from Lindsey.

“I came here today to talk about something different,” Domenic said, feeling Like his heart was being squeezed.

He shifted gears abruptly.

Juanita opened her eyes, puzzled.

“What is it?”

Domenic’s tone became more professional.

“It’s about Cherish.

”

After leaving the hospital room, Lindsey couldn’t spot Leonel anywhere.

Realizing that meeting him would just be awkward, she roamed around the hospital grounds alone, pondering how to explain Domenic to him.

She wandered around by herself.

As she stepped into the garden, a familiar figure stood in her way.

Lindsey looked up, surprised to see Carole.

Her mouth dropped open in astonishment.

“I’m here for you,” Carole said bluntly, dropping any pretense.

“What’s on your mind?” Lindsey asked cautiously, giving her a wary glance.

“Let’s find a quiet spot for a chat, just you and me,” Carole said with a shrug, leading Lindsey to a quiet spot in the garden away from other people.

Then, she turned to face Lindsey.
