Heartbreak Brings Mr. Right

He started to call her but quickly backed out.

The man, usually firm and unwavering, unexpectedly wavered and hesitated in this moment.

What was he doing? Trying to catch her in the act?

With what right or reason?

Lindsey had made it clear she wouldn’t be his girlfriend.

She was eager for him to return so she could give back his necklace…

Did her refusal stem from her new connection with Vincent’s godson, while he was nothing but a man with no wealth to his name?

Domenic tossed his phone on the desk, covered his eyes, now reddened with emotion, and let out a bitter laugh.

It seemed he needed to return sooner than planned.

The blue sedan came to a halt at the entrance of Lindsey’s neighborhood.

Just as Lindsey was about to step out and walk away, Sumner rolled down his window to call her.

“Linds!”

Lindsey paused to look back and asked, “Yes? Is something up?”

“I…” Sumner hesitated for a moment before breaking into a smile, “Oh, nothing.

Just… take care.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

”

With a nod, Lindsey resumed her exit, soon vanishing from Sumner’s view.

Sumner rolled the window back up and sank into his seat, deep in thought.

He pulled out his phone to make a call.

“I’ve made a decision.

I’m going to join the entertainment industry.

”

“Didn’t you say that you were not interested? What changed your mind?

Is it because of Lindsey?” Paige’s amused voice came through the phone.

I’m losing signal here.

I’ve got to go.

” Sumner quickly ended the call.

Sumner’s gaze lingered in the direction where Lindsey had just departed.

He was delayed for the dinner party due to some unforeseen circumstances.

By the time he arrived, the scandal involving Selah’s nude photo had already erupted online, causing widespread commotion.

His concern naturally turned towards Lindsey.

He had been aware of Lindsey’s bet with Jayleen about Selah for quite some time, having seen it trending on Twitter.

He had been following the situation closely.
