Heartbreak Brings Mr. Right

Lindsey slapped her forehead, urging herself to remain rational.

How genuine were his acts of kindness toward her?

After being deceived and betrayed repeatedly, Lindsey doubted her own judgment.

She felt she could no longer tell right from wrong.

She built a thick shell around herself to avoid further pain.

She had once let her guard down for Domenic, but now, because of him, her defenses were even stronger.

Lindsey was not much of a drinker.

After finishing the bottle of the wine, she initially felt fine, but soon dizziness set in, making the room spin before her eyes.

At that moment, a waiter approached the room door with a tray in his hands.

Seeing Hendrix standing guard outside, he bowed slightly and said, “Sir, this is the honeyed water prepared for each guest.

It is a really good hangover solution.

It’s my job to deliver it to every room.

”

Hendrix looked at the kettle on the tray.

This Luxury cruise usually provided honeyed water usually served to tipsy guests after the party.

Hendrix turned and pressed the doorbell of Lindsey’s room to see if she needed some tea, but got no response.

He rang it a couple more times, still with no answer.

Lindsey had only just entered the room.

She could not have fallen asleep that quickly.

Even if she were asleep, the doorbell should have woken her.

Recalling the night’s events and Domenic’s instructions, Hendrix suddenly felt an ominous premonition.

Fortunately, he still had the room key Domenic had given him.

Concerned for Lindsey’s well-being, he couldn’t wait any longer.

He unlocked the door and rushed inside!

After leaving Jordan’s room, Domenic walked to Carole’s room.

He rang the doorbell, and soon the door opened a crack.

Carole peeked out, her eyes red and puffy, giving the impression she had been crying.

“It’s me,” Domenic said coldly.

Seeing Domenic, a wave of joy surged through Carole.

Jordan had called her earlier, informing her he would send Domenic over.

This was a golden opportunity, and she resolved to do everything she could to keep Domenic, no matter the cost.

She had intentionally wept, making her eyes appear pitifully red and swollen.

Tearfully, she asked, “Are you here to mock me?” Instead of opening the door wider, she sniffled and remained partially hidden, her eyes becoming even redder.

Domenic frowned and said in a detached tone, “Grandpa mentioned you’ve been secluding yourself in your room, avoiding everyone.

He was concerned you might do something drastic, so he sent me to check on you.

”

His distant words cut deeply, stinging Carole.

She bit her lip, ready to speak, but Domenic continued, “Since you’re fine, I’ll be Leaving now.

”

He turned to leave without a second thought.

Panicking, Carole flung the door open and ran after him, shouting, “Domenic, stop right there!”

Domenic halted but didn’t turn around.

Carole clenched her hands, her voice quivering with a mix of bitterness and resentment.
