Heartbreak Brings Mr. Right

He left abruptly, slamming the door behind him.

Lindsey sat alone, gazing at the uneaten food, her heart heavy with sorrow.

Yet, despite everything, she trusted Domenic’s character and felt his love deeply.

She was certain there was no need for secrecy or doubt between them and believed their bond would see them through.

Her family might not see Domenic’s worth, but she was convinced that their love could overcome any obstacle.

Together, they would eventually win everyone’s approval.

Her phone rang with a video call from Domenic.

Quickly fixing her disheveled hair, she answered, eager to see him.

Dressed sharply in a suit, he looked very handsome and was in what seemed to be a conference room.

“Are you… in the middle of a meeting with your boss?”

Lindsey made sure her voice was soft and even.

She didn’t want him to sense her distress.

Knowing he was very busy, she didn’t want to add to his worries.

“Yes, my boss is busy with some paperwork.

I’m here representing him for a meeting,” Domenic responded casually.

His secretary, placing a coffee cup down, couldn’t help but tremble a little, marveling at how effortlessly her boss told Lies.

Domenic looked over Lindsey’s shoulder and asked, “Did you go out for dinner?”

Lindsey gave a nod, but Domenic’s keen eye detected something amiss.

“ALL by yourself? With all those dishes?”

“No, I’m with Nancy.

She’s just stepped away to the restroom.

”

Lindsey told a random lie.

Domenic offered a gentle smile and said, “These meals don’t seem as wholesome as the ones I cooked.

Once I’m done with work, I’ll cook something nutritious for you.

You must be busy with a lot of work at the office lately.

Please, don’t overexert yourself.

”

Lindsey felt a comforting warmth, fighting back tears that threatened to spill again.

Her brother and mother had claimed to act in her best interest, yet they didn’t truly understand her relationship with Domenic.

They had been absent for so long and when they came back, they forced their will without considering her feelings or desires.

It was Domenic who had been her source of comfort and strength during her toughest times.

Just like in this moment, he always seemed to know how to offer her care and affection.

How could she even think about Leaving Domenic? How could she endure being apart from him?

“Okay, just don’t forget that we planned to shop for groceries and cook together,” Lindsey replied with a soft smile, hiding her inner turmoil from Domenic.

“I’m a bit tied up at the moment, but let’s make it happen a few days later.

”

Even though Domenic mentioned his commitments, the reality was that his grandfather Jordan had been urging him to come home for dinner each night.

Jordan claimed he wanted more of Domenic’s company, but his true motive was to encourage more interaction between Domenic and Carole.
