Lindsey pressed her lips, and her displeasure was evident.


    Juanita chuckled.


    “Well then, why bother asking me?”


    “Because you’re my mom.


    I hold you in high regard.


    ” Lindsey said.


    Juanita shook her head, a hint of resignation in her smile.


    “Alright, but I still don’t approve of you two until I know more about him.


    I’m not some heartless mother.


    Since it’s his birthday, I’ll make an exception.


    ”


    “Thank you!” Lindsey embraced Juanita and nted a ki*s on her cheek.


    Their bond was growing stronger with each passing day.


    Juanita wrapped her arms around Lindsey and smiled warmly.


    Over the past few days, the individuals Juanita had dispatched to dig into Domenic’s background hadn’t turned up any valuable information.


    She had a vague sense that this man was extraordinary.


    On the evening of that banquet, he had effortlessly won over the prominent figures in attendance with just a few words.


    Now, she reasoned that these big shots had encountered different people and were adept at assessing character.


    So, who exactly was this man? What secrets was he keeping?


    For the sake of her daughter’s lifelong happiness, Juanita was determined to unravel this mystery.


    She had even tapped intoLMH Group’s connections and presumed that answers would surface shortly.


    On Domenic’s birthday, Lindsey finished her work early in the morning and delegated the remaining tasks to Nancy.


    When she stepped out of her office, she called Domenic.Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org.


    “Are you still at work?”


    “No, I requested the day off today,” Domenic replied in a maic voice.


    “Really? Where are you now?”


    “I’m at St.


    Paul’s Church.


    ”


    Lindsey felt a touch of surprise.


    Domenic had never stepped foot in a church before.


    So why had he requested time off to go to one today?


    But she chose not to delve further into it.


    Instead, she gazed at the rosewood bracelet in her bag and smiled.


    “I have some good news for you.


    I’ll be back tonight!”


    “Okay.


    Domenic didn’t respond with the excitement she had anticipated; instead, he replied calmly.


    Lindsey experienced a slight disappointment, but she uttered softly, “I’ll see you tonight, then.


    ”


    Following the phone call, Domenic remained seated in the deserted church.


    It wasn’t a Sunday, so only a few people were present.


    He directed his gaze at the massive cross ahead.


    His deep, unyielding eyes held mncholy that couldn’t be dissolved.
