Domenic pledged help with her formalities but hadn’t reached out or updated her.


    Pouting, Lindsey got her phone, contemting Domenic’s whereabouts.


    With that in mind, Lindsey dialed Domenic’s number.


    The Walsh family had very rigorous eating manners.


    Silence filled the dining room but for the faint tter of forks on knives.


    Domenic’s phone rang during the family’s poised dinner.


    It was a call from Lindsey.


    Domenic looked over to Jordan out of the corner of his eye.


    Jordan heard Domenic get up and say, “Grandpa, I have to get this phone call.


    ”


    “It’s a work call, right? Go ahead.


    ” Jordan just let Domenic leave since he understood that he had a lot of work to do for the firm.


    Reaching the living room balcony, Domenic answered the phone and said, “Linds, what’s wrong?”


    “Just checking in.


    You’ve been silent.


    Have you been seeing some woman behind my back?”


    Lindsey’s tone held a hint of yfulness.

    Chuckling, Domenic leaned against the balcony, gazing into the verdant scenery.


    “No, I’ve been tied up with your paperwork.


    Work calls now.


    I’ll see you soon.


    Do you miss me?”


    His voice, low and maic, held a captivating allure.


    Blushing, Lindsey teased, “Don’t you miss me?”


    “Immensely!” Domenic’s reply oozed tenderness.Content held by N?velDrama.Org.


    Lindsey smiled sweetly.


    Just as Domenic turned, Rupert stood at the balcony’s door, a smile on his face.


    “I’ve got other things to handle.


    Bye.


    ”


    Lindsey was about to say something, but Domenic ended the call abruptly.


    Slipping his phone back into his pocket, Domenic faced Rupert with aposed look and inquired, “Uncle Rupert, what brings you here?”


    “I’ve just finished eating.


    There’s some business at thepany I need to attend to.


    Don’t worry about it.


    I was just passing through,”


    Rupert replied with a sly smile and narrowed eyes.


    Domenic nced around.


    The way from the dining room to the main entrance didn’t even require passing through there.


    However, Domenic chose not to say anything.


    As they brushed past each other, Rupert, with a smile, said, “Domenic, your grandpa is very fond of you.


    Don’t disappoint him like your father did.
