Lindsey was taken aback by the unexpected kiss.


    She instinctively tried to push Domenic away from her, but he was like an unyielding fortress.


    He pulled her further into his arms, seeking to kiss her again.


    Lindsey just couldn’t put up any reasonable struggle.


    All she could do was to clutch Domenic’s shirt desperately as her lips were being forced toply with his wishes.


    His kiss was fierce and urgent, with no restraint whatsoever.Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    Lindsey had never seen him act like this before.


    After what seemed like a long time, Domenic reluctantly ended the kiss.


    Looking at the woman in his arms, he could see that the only reason she was standing on her feet was because he was holding her up.


    His deep eyes, which reflected the bright moonlight, seemed particrly sad and lonely.


    “Domenic, what… what’s wrong?” Lindsey couldn’t help but ask.


    It was clear to her that Domenic was not as he usually was.


    But Domenic didn’t answer.


    Instead, he simply let go of her and took a step back to create some distance between them.


    Lindsey remained in the same spot, looking puzzled by his strange behavior.


    Domenic looked at her for a while before finally speaking.


    “Lindsey, we’d better break up,” he said without any preamble.


    Lindsey’s jaw dropped and she just stood there, staring at him in shock, unable to say a single word.


    Even though she had been prepared for what he was going to say, hearing the actual words felt like a sharp knife cutting through her heart, making her almost suffocate from the pain.


    After a prolonged silence, she forced a smile to her face and asked him, “Have you… have you made up your mind?”


    His hands were quivering slightly, but he closed his eyes and nodded in the affirmative.

    “So, this kiss… it was a farewell kiss?” Lindsey chuckled bitterly.


    The lights in Domenic’s eyes went dim and his lips remained closed.


    Lindsey stared at him quietly, trying to see through him to his heart, but all she could see was his cold facial expression.


    This felt very strange.


    “Okay,” she finally said.


    Even though tears had welled up in her eyes, she still forced a smile to her face.


    “I promised never to hold you back.


    Since you’ve made up your mind, then I… I wish you nothing but joy and happiness.


    ”


    “Do you really mean that?” Domenic asked, looking intently at her face.


    Lindsey quickly avoided his gaze and replied with a smile, “Of course, I do.


    You’ll definitely find a girl who loves you.


    You guys will get married and have many children, and live happily ever after.


    ”


    At this point, Lindsey’s throat tightened, and she quickly stopped speaking.


    She knew that if she continued, she would surely burst into tears.


    She really hoped Domenic would be happy, but knowing that she wouldn’t be the one to live happily with him made her heart feel like it had been plunged into an icy abyss, thereby freezing her to the core.


    “Sorry… I’m sorry,” Domenic apologized after a prolonged silence.
