Lindsey lowered her head and murmured in a voice so small, Domenic barely heard her.
But didnt we get engaged yesterday? Now, Im your fianc.
Lindsey looked up in shock, only to meet his soft gaze.
Domenic just said something outrageous, but he continued to eat his breakfast as though he was simply talking about the weather. Lindsey looked at him in shock and confusion, at a loss for words. Was he joking?
Mr. Walsh, dont joke like that. You know that our engagement was just a show to humiliate my ex-boyfriend, Lindsey said uneasily, forcing an awkward smile.
At this, Domenic pulled a long face. Are you saying that Im not good enough to be your fianc?
Lindsey had a headache. Indeed, the man in front of her was leagues ahead of Chayce in terms of both appearance and personality, but that wasnt the point.
Or do you think Im too poor for you? Domenic continued, putting his utensils down to stare at her. Is that why youre so keen on dumping me?
No, no, I didnt say that! Lindsey shook her head adamantly. The thought never even crossed her mind.
In her mind, he was handsome and in good shape. Not to mention, he could cook. Apart from not having much money, she couldnt find any fault with him. Still, at the end of the day, they barely knew each other; she didnt even know his full name!
Biting her lip, Lindsey said hesitantly, Mr. Walsh, youre a good man, but were practically strangers. Were not even friends. How can we get engaged?
Domenic didnt respond. Instead, he busied himself with finishing his breakfast. After stuffing the last piece of egg into his mouth, he wiped his hands with a napkin. The action was casual, but there was something about the way he did it that made him seem so noble.
Glancing at the uneaten food on Lindseys plate, he asked, Why arent you eating anything? Does it look bad?

It wasnt that Lindsey didnt like the food, but that she had been so lost in thought that she forgot to eat. She snapped back to reality and put a piece of fried egg into her mouth. The savory taste of the fried egg, creamy milk, and cheese was so delicious that she couldnt help but open her eyes wide in pleasant surprise.
Delicious! Lindsey beamed at Domenic. This man was practically perfect!
Unbeknownst to her, all the ingredients Domenic had used were freshly imported and delivered on the same day, which was why they tasted so much better than that of ordinary restaurants.
Upon hearing her praise, the expression on Domenics face softened.
He stood up and said with a smile, I was kidding just now, okay? I solemnly swear that nothing happened between us Last night.

Lindsey stared at him blankly as he put his empty plate into the kitchen sink. Then, he went back to the bedroom for a few minutes.
By the time he came out, he had changed into his usual clothes, regaining his usual cold, aloof look.
I have some work to do, so I need to get going.
After saying that, Domenic opened the door and left. His calm demeanor made Lindsey start to doubt if they had even kised the previous night. Perhaps it was all just a dream.
For some reason, alone in this strange house, she felt a sense of loss. Lindsey bit her lip and tried to comfort herself, telling herself that it was all just a show. Now that the show was over, the two of them were bound to go their separate ways. Even if she managed to find out his full name, so what? They still had nothing to do with each other.
After breakfast, Lindsey washed the dishes and cleaned the kitchen before leaving.
