Chapter 604
Domenic fixed his gaze on the woman adorning the bracelet on his wrist.
In some inexplicable way, he felt like shedding tears.
He hadn’t felt so moved in many years.
He abruptly grasped Lindsey’s wrist and led her toward the altar at the front of the church.
The setting sun cast its elongated shadows through the stained glass window, enveloping the two in a warm glow.
Clasping Lindsey’s delicate fingers, Domenic turned toward her and knelt on one knee.
“What are you doing?” Lindsey’s heart couldn’t help but race.
Grasping her hand firmly, Domenic gazed at Lindsey with deep sincerity.
He said deliberately, “Linds, today, I vow that you’ll be my one and only wife.
I’ll be there to protect you, to comfort you in sorrow, and to do everything in my power to bring you joy.
I’ll love you till my last breath.
”
His abrupt and earnest vow brought tears to Lindsey’s eyes.
She placed her hand over her heart, sensing that she was enveloped in joy at this very moment, with all the hardships and sorrows fading away.
She saw a bright and hopeful future ahead.
“Are you asking me to marry you?” Lindsey’s eyes sparkled as she looked at the man before her.
Domenic had acted subconsciously because he was deeply moved at the moment.
But when Lindsey asked him, he suddenly realized he might have rushed things.
He had envisioned a more elaborate proposal and wedding for her.
Domenic looked at Lindsey with an apologetic smile.
“I’m sorry, Linds.
I didn’t have a ring ready today.
Consider this a promise before the actual proposal.
When I get back…”
Before Domenic could finish, Lindsey smiled softly and interrupted, “No ring?”
She removed the red diamond necklace she had been donning and delicately looped it around her ring finger, creating the illusion of a scarlet diamond ring.
“Well, now, you can propose properly.
”
Gazing at the sparkling waterdrop-shaped red diamond, Domenic lifted his gaze to meet Lindsey’s hopeful eyes.
With a subtle smile playing at the corners of his lips, he cleared his throat and asked in the most affectionate tone, “Linds, will you marry me?”
With a radiant smile, Lindsey replied softly, “Yes, I do.
”
Domenic stood up, gently cradled the back of her neck, and ki*sed her.
The ki*s was more passionate than ever, conveying emotions words couldn’t express.
For a long time after that moment, Lindsey would forever cherish the immense happiness she felt that day.
It was a memory worth relishing throughout her life.
Meanwhile, Juanita was seated on her home sofa, engrossed in watching TV, and her phone rang.
Juanita retrieved her phone and noticed it was a call from the headquarters of LMH Group.
She promptly straightened her posture and answered the call.
