Heartbreak Brings Mr. Right

The cookies boasted richness without excessive sweetness, while the tea was perfectly brewed-refreshing and mild.

Jordan savored a profound sense of contentment after a taxing day, and Carole’s dutiful manner further heightened his satisfaction.

Taking a sip of tea, he smiled warmly and commended Carole for her considerate and meticulous care.

Sensing her apprehension, Jordan offered reassurance.

“Don’t worry, Carole.

I won’t overlook the injustices of today.

Upon Domenic’s return, I’ll ensure he faces the consequences and personally apologize to you.

And don’t even think about stopping me from giving that lad a stern talking-to.

”

Carole, her gaze lowered, refilled Jordan’s teacup as she expressed, “Please, there’s no need.

I’m feeling much better now.

It wasn’t a significant issue from the start.

Domenic’s commitment to his career is reasonable, as is your care for us.

There will be future opportunities for the engagement celebration.

Let’s forgive and forget.

”

Carole’s compassion deeply touched Jordan, endearing her to him even more.

“Carole, despite Domenic’s disregard for your emotions, you continue to advocate for him.

A girl like you is a rare gem.

He will come to appreciate your value sooner or later,” Jordan sighed, then continued, “It’s regrettable that out of these two months, we’ve had only one suitable day.

We can’t compromise on quality, so we’ll need to delay the engagement until a more opportune time.

Rest assured, I’ll choose a more suitable date for you.

”

Carole smiled gently.

“We’ll adhere to your plans.

”

“In truth, I comprehend Domenic’s situation.

His schedule is packed, leaving us with only a few days together.

It’s insufficient time to nurture our relationship, which is why he appears indifferent toward the engagement.

If I could spend every day by his side, I’m confident he wouldn’t seem so distant,” Carole sighed softly, her demeanor tinged with acceptance.

Jordan pondered over Carole’s words for a while and then came to the conclusion that they were nothing but the truth.

With how buried Domenic was in his work, he had little to no time for leisure activities.

There were hardly any opportunities for the two to spend time together.

“You are right.

I’ll take care of it,” Jordan said firmly.

Hearing this, a subtle smile appeared on Carole’s face.

Bending down, she continued to serve tea to Jordan, satisfied that she had achieved her goal.

A little while later, a new thought flashed through her mind.

She let out a sad sigh and said, “I wish I knew who leaked the news about the engagement incident to the paparazzi.

The way they questioned me when I left was nothing short of an attack on me.

Thinking of how they are going to paint today’s engagement in tomorrow’s headlines gives me a headache.

”

She paused for a moment to observe Jordan’s reaction.

Seeing that he was paying attention to her, she continued, “I actually don’t mind being ridiculed, but I fear for the reputation of the Walsh family.

It might be damaged alongside that of yours and Domenic’s…”

Jordan raised his hand up and gently rubbed his chin.

Indeed, the only explanation for the media’s immediate arrival was that someone leaked information to them.

With a scoff, Jordan said, “Anyone who dares to offend me will regret it for the rest of their life.

I’ll find whoever spread those rumors and make Morcastle unbearable for them!”

Hearing this, Carole was frightened a little.

After all, she had been the one who secretly fed the media with information.

Swallowing hard, she assured herself that her secret would never be revealed.

Seeing Carole’s troubled expression, Jordan softened his eyes and tried to reassure her, saying, “Don’t let it bother you, Carole.

Trust me, I won’t rest until I catch the culprit behind this.NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

” With that, he turned his head sideways and called out the butler.

Hearing his name, the butler rushed over to Jordan’s side, who then proceeded to whisper something in his ear.

When the next day rolled by, the media acted like they weren’t aware of the previous night’s engagement debacle.

And that was because a more sensational piece of gossip had seized their attention.

Their headlines were filled with news about another couple.
