Carole’s eyes betrayed her reluctance and malice.


    Even though Jordan was ready to let Lindsey go, she wasn’t.


    She saw Lindsey’s presence as a looming threat, sooner orter.


    At the Waterfront Apartments, Lindsey had just finished packing her things.


    As she stared around the living room for thest time, her grip on the suitcase unconsciously tightened.


    A part of her was very reluctant to leave, but her mind was made up and she was set on seeing her decision through.


    She breathed in through her nose, and as she exhaled, she let go of the past.


    Then she turned and walked toward the door.


    At that very moment, she heard the sound of a key turning in the lock from outside the door.


    Her steps faltered and she stared at the door with wide eyes.


    She knew who was on the other side of the door and the knowledge made her heart race.


    She gulped and bit her lips, desperately trying to keep her calm facade in ce.


    As soon as the door opened, Domenic walked in but he came to an abrupt halt when he saw Lindsey standing in the hallway.


    His gaze immediately went to the suitcase she was holding, and the lights in his eyes dimmed.


    “ALL packed?” His voice was deep and gentle as it always was, but now, it carried a cold undertone.


    Lindsey nodded and replied, “Yes.


    ” Then she walked towards Domenic, a determined glint in her eyes.This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.


    When she was about two steps away from him, she stopped and held out her palm towards him.


    Domenic’s heart clenched and it was all he could do to maintain hisposure when he saw her outstretched palm.

    “I’m leaving, so I have no need of this ne anymore.


    That’s why I’m giving it back to you.


    I think you’ll be able to find someone more suitable to gift it to,” Lindsey said, trying to keep her voice steady.

    Domenic’s lips curled into a self-mocking smile.


    “I never take back the gifts I’ve given.


    If you don’t like it anymore, just throw it away.


    ”


    After saying that, he brushed past her.


    Shocked by his dismissive tone, Lindsey turned around to watch him walking away from her without a care in the world.


    For some reason, she suddenly felt a lump in her throat.


    But she knew she couldn’t keep the ne.


    They had broken up so she had no reason to hold on to it.


    Mind made up, Lindsey suddenly announced to Domenic’s departing back, “I’ll leave it here then.


    ” Then she gently ced the ne on the table.


    Domenic paused for a moment, then he whirled around and quickly walked over to Lindsey.


    He picked up the ne she just ced on the table and stared at her coldly.


    “You don’t want it?”


    Lindsey’s heart thumped heavily as she stared at his inscrutable expression.


    There was a hand made of magma crushing her heart to pieces and it hurt so bad that her vision went blurry for a second.


    After a brief second of silence in which Lindsey managed to push back her emotions, she nodded.


    Domenic gave a short, bitterugh.
