Lindsey lowered her head and murmured in a voice so small, Domenic barely heard her.


    “But didn’t we get engaged yesterday? Now, I’m your fiancé.


    ”


    Lindsey looked up in shock, only to meet his soft gaze.


    Domenic just said something outrageous, but he continued to eat his breakfast as though he was simply talking about the weather.


    Lindsey looked at him in shock and confusion, at a loss for words.


    Was he joking?


    “Mr.


    Walsh, don’t joke like that.


    You know that our ‘engagement’ was just a show to humiliate my ex-boyfriend,” Lindsey said uneasily, forcing an awkward smile.


    At this, Domenic pulled a long face.


    “Are you saying that I’m not good enough to be your fiancé?”


    Lindsey had a headache.


    Indeed, the man in front of her was leagues ahead of Chayce in terms of both appearance and personality, but that wasn’t the point.


    “Or do you think I’m too poor for you?” Domenic continued, putting his utensils down to stare at her.


    “Is that why you’re so keen on dumping me?”


    “No, no, I didn’t say that!” Lindsey shook her head adamantly.


    The thought never even crossed her mind.


    In her mind, he was handsome and in good shape.


    Not to mention, he could cook.


    Apart from not having much money, she couldn’t find any fault with him.


    Still, at the end of the day, they barely knew each other; she didn’t even know his full name!


    Biting her lip, Lindsey said hesitantly, “Mr.


    Walsh, you’re a good man, but we’re practically strangers.


    We’re not even friends.


    How can we get engaged?”


    Domenic didn’t respond.


    Instead, he busied himself with finishing his breakfast.


    After stuffing thest piece of egg into his mouth, he wiped his hands with a napkin.


    The action was casual, but there was something about the way he did it that made him seem so noble.


    ncing at the uneaten food on Lindsey’s te, he asked, “Why aren’t you eating anything? Does it look bad?”

    It wasn’t that Lindsey didn’t like the food, but that she had been so lost in thought that she forgot to eat.


    She snapped back to reality and put a piece of fried egg into her mouth.


    The savory taste of the fried egg, creamy milk, and cheese was so delicious that she couldn’t help but open her eyes wide in pleasant surprise.


    “Delicious! Lindsey beamed at Domenic.


    This man was practically perfect!


    Unbeknownst to her, all the ingredients Domenic had used were freshly imported and delivered on the same day, which was why they tasted so much better than that of ordinary restaurants.


    Upon hearing her praise, the expression on Domenic’s face softened.


    He stood up and said with a smile, “I was kidding just now, okay? I solemnly swear that nothing happened between us Last night.


    ”


    Lindsey stared at him nkly as he put his empty te into the kitchen sink.


    Then, he went back to the bedroom for a few minutes.


    By the time he came out, he had changed into his usual clothes, regaining his usual cold, aloof look.


    “I have some work to do, so I need to get going.


    ”


    After saying that, Domenic opened the door and left.Belongs to N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved.


    His calm demeanor made Lindsey start to doubt if they had even ki*sed the previous night.


    Perhaps it was all just a dream.


    For some reason, alone in this strange house, she felt a sense of loss.


    Lindsey bit her lip and tried tofort herself, telling herself that it was all just a show.


    Now that the show was over, the two of them were bound to go their separate ways.


    Even if she managed to find out his full name, so what? They still had nothing to do with each other.


    After breakfast, Lindsey washed the dishes and cleaned the kitchen before leaving.
