Heartbreak Brings Mr. Right

He believed Domenic and Carole should be given more time alone to deepen their relationship.

“Okay,” Carole answered obediently, picking up Domenic’s suit jacket.

Domenic allowed her to assist in putting on and buttoning his coat this time, then softly stated, “Let’s go.

”

Jordan smiled as he watched the two disappear out the door.

In his eyes, the two had grown closer.

He had a feeling that Domenic had feelings for Carole and was just refusing to admit it.

The thought of Carole’s grandfather came to him.

The image of his deceased friend from the army made his eyes cloud with sadness.

His old buddy lay dying after saving his life and he had gripped his hands, entrusting his granddaughter to him with his last breath.

It was a memory that would forever remain vivid in Jordan’s mind.

Carole had not been fortunate with her lot in life.

She had lost her parents early, and now she was all alone.

Jordan owed his life to her grandfather.

The least he could do was fulfill his old buddy’s last wish by arranging for her and Domenic to be married.

He had already planned to pass his position to Domenic as the head of the company before his death.

He wanted to make sure Domenic and Carole would leave a carefree life.

The bright lights bathed the lawn of the Walsh Manor in a warm glow.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

Domenic walked in the front, with Carole trailing closely behind him.

She gazed at him quietly, unable to take her eyes off his tall, strong figure.

Her eyes traced the wide slope of his shoulders and the elegant curve of his waist.

It was taking a lot from her not to reveal her feelings for him, but all she wanted at that moment was to be enveloped in his arms.

Carole told herself to get a grip.

She would be his wife soon.

She believed that it would only be a matter of time before Domenic started to take notice of her.

If she was patient, she would see his feelings blossom into love.

Carole was willing to wait until that day arrived.

As her thoughts raced, Domenic suddenly stopped and turned around to look at her.

Carole was somewhat nervous, yet she couldn’t let her excitement show.

She had already painted a certain picture of herself for Domenic, and any abrupt shift in her demeanor might arouse suspicion.

So, Carole adopted a look of distress, took a couple of steps forward, and positioned herself in front of Domenic.

He had a comforting scent of cedar and an aura that was both sharp and chilly, causing Carole to instinctively step back.

Domenic looked down, keeping his silence.

Carole stole a quick glance at him and, struggling slightly with her words, said, “Domenic, it was a complete surprise to me when your grandpa mentioned the engagement out of the blue.

He never hinted at it to me, and I was just as shocked.

I’ve been trying to talk him out of it, but he just won’t listen.

I understand you’re not keen on this engagement, and frankly, I’m not thrilled about my marriage being arranged either.

We still have some time before the engagement party is supposed to happen, so I’ll attempt to speak with him again.

Perhaps he’ll see reason and back down, not wanting to force this on you.

I’m sorry, Domenic, for putting you in this spot once more.

”

Her words came from a place of honesty, stirring a sense of compassion.
