Lindsey also sat down, but she couldn’t stop staring at the man in front of her.


    Indeed, he bore a cruel and arrogant countenance, much like a cheetah lurking in the dark of night, ready to sink its teeth into its prey’s neck at a moment’s notice.


    “Maybe you should smile more.


    Smiling can make people look more approachable, you know,” Lindsey suggested.


    Smile more? Huh.


    Domenic gave it a try, and the corners of his mouth twitched upwards unnaturally.

    Seeing this, Lindsey almost choked on her saliva.


    She didn’t expect him to look even more frightening when he smiled!

    Because the restaurant wasn’t that far from Zrans University, Domenic walked Lindsey back to the school after dinner.


    The gentle breeze of early summer brought a delightful sense of tranquility, ruffling the hair of the two individuals as it danced around them.


    The soft glow of the yellow streetmps cast their elongated shadows on the ground.


    Gazing into the distance, Domenic observed numerous buildings that glittered with warm lights.


    He couldn’t help but think about his childhood.


    Although his parents had always been very busy most of the time, they would take walks as a family after dinner.


    His parents would hold his hands and together, they’d stroll through the bustling streets, brushing past crowds and staring at the stars in the sky.


    How long had it been since he enjoyed such a simple moment? Domenic didn’t know.


    It was so


    long ago that he couldn’t remember.


    Lindsey ran her fingers through her lustrous hair and looked at him.


    Just then, the gentle breeze caressed his exquisitely handsome face, and finally brushed aside the stray strands of hair on his forehead, giving him an overall appearance of warmth andposure.


    “Thank you, Mr.


    Walsh,” Lindsey suddenly said.


    “For what?”


    Puzzled, Domenic looked down at the woman beside him.


    She Lowered her head slightly, which made her look so meek and beautiful under the streetmps.


    “You’ve helped me twice today, and when Nina tried to hit me, you stopped her.


    ”


    Domenic didn’t think much of it at the time, nor did he expect her to thank him ceremoniously for it.


    A faint smile on his lips, he asked, “How do you n on repaying me?”


    Lindsey’s heart skipped a beat.


    Twiddling her thumbs uneasily, she asked, “How do you want me to repay you?”


    Domenic fell silent and crossed his arms over his chest, as though he was thinking about it carefully.Ccontent ? exclusive by N?/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    Lindsey waited anxiously, afraid that he’d make some kind of excessive request.


    Unexpectedly, he said in a casual tone, “I don’t know.


    I’ll tell you when I think of something.


    ”


    “Oh, okay.


    ”


    Before long, the two of them arrived at the school gate.


    After saying goodbye to Domenic, Lindsey went straight to her dormitory.
