Chapter 773
Domenic’s tone grew more serious.
“You’re an incredible woman.
There’s someone out there who’s a better match for you, someone who will love you deeply.
”
Carole fought back the hurt welling up inside.
Turning down Domenic’s offer now would only anger him and undo the bond she’d carefully built.
So, she chose to accept, for the time being.
She was uncertain about his feelings towards Lindsey, and whether he might take drastic steps against Jordan because of Lindsey remained a question.
A rift between them would render her efforts pointless.
Believing she could make a pretend engagement real, Carole felt confident she could secure the situation in time.
Once everything was in place, Domenic wouldn’t be able to back out.
With that plan in mind, Carole forced a cheerful response.
“Okay, Domenic, let’s go with your plan.
”
Domenic exhaled a sigh of relief, appreciating her agreement.
“Thank you, Carole.
We’ll need to make our act convincing.
Now, you should head back.
”
Hendrix pulled up with the car, but Carole hesitated to leave.
As Domenic was about to climb into the car, Carole called out his name.
He paused, expecting her to continue.
The evening was cold, particularly on the grassy expanse, and Carole shivered as the wind picked up.
Her voice sounded rough to her ears as she asked, “Domenic, is there someone you care for?”
Domenic remained silent.
The chilly breeze lingered between them, and Carole managed a weak smile.
“It’s okay, I won’t mention it to your grandpa.
I’m just wondering if someone as remarkable as you has someone special.
”
Domenic offered a slight, mysterious smile.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
“Carole, when you find the person you truly love, you’ll know.
For me, in this life, she’s the only one who matters.
”
It was clear, Domenic was deeply in love with someone else.
Feeling her heart drop, Carole hugged herself, struggling to keep her composure.
“I see, Domenic.
I hope you find happiness.
”
Domenic gave a courteous nod.
“And you as well.
”
As Domenic’s car drove away from the Walsh Manor, Carole remained still for a long time before finally sitting down, hugging her knees to her chest.
Eventually, she let her emotions flow freely, crying out.
All her efforts over the years seemed futile? Domenic had never truly seen her.
She had once fooled herself into thinking he had no interest in romance, but his confession of love for another shattered that illusion.
Carole’s heart ached unbearably, the feeling almost too much to bear.
Yet, her resolve hardened.
