Heartbreak Brings Mr. Right

Then, a faint light came in through the crack of the door as it was slowly opened from the outside.

Domenic strode into the apartment with an emergency flashlight in his hand.

When the light shone on the sofa, he found a terrified girl curled up into a ball, her face stained with tears.

She looked so fragile under the piercing white Light.

Sensing the light, Lindsey slowly peeled her eyes open, her eyelashes fluttering delicately.

Her big eyes were filled with grievance, which made her look particularly pitiful.

Before Domenic could react, she suddenly leaped off the couch and threw herself into his arms, wrapping her own arms around his waist tightly.

Domenic placed the emergency flashlight on the coffee table, then carefully lifted Lindsey’s tearful face.

“What’s making you cry?”

He felt sorry for her.

“Didn’t you mention that you wouldn’t be returning tonight?” When Lindsey spotted him, she couldn’t hold back the tears, and her trembling voice betrayed her emotions.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

“I had plans to stay at work, but your voice sounded off on the phone.

I got worried you might be frightened, so I came home.

”

Domenic softly brushed the tangled hair from Lindsey’s cheeks.

His voice was so soothing; it brought more tears.

“Sorry for being late.

”

Lindsey’s face was wet with tears, yet she managed a smile.

“I’m glad you’re here.

”

Domenic tenderly wiped her tears away, saying, “Hey, stop crying.

You lose a bit of your beauty when you cry.

”

Lindsey gave a little sniff and her crying ceased.

Only then did she notice her hands were wrapped around Domenic.

Her gentle touch could feel his lean waist through the thin cloth.

Startled, Lindsey quickly pulled her hands away as if she’d been shocked.

She blushed and instinctively stepped back.

“I’m sorry, Mr.

Walsh, I-I was just really scared.

I didn’t mean to do that.

”

She had been so bold when she jumped at him moments ago.

Now, why did she suddenly turn shy? Domenic let out a light chuckle.

He slowly approached her, step by step, while Lindsey kept moving back until she tumbled onto the soft sofa.

Domenic bent down, his hands resting near her ears.

His face was inches from hers.

Her timid and lovely expression tempted him to playfully tease her.

“It’s a long night ahead.

I’m feeling a little bit bored.

Maybe we could find something fun to do together?”

An unusual smirk crossed his face.
