Heartbreak Brings Mr. Right

Sumner nodded with a gentle smile, and Lindsey walked away, leaving him to bask in the sunlight alone.

As Sumner watched Lindsey disappear out of his sight, the smile on his face vanished.

Glancing at the tree, he turned the wheelchair and wheeled it towards Domenic.

Aware that Sumner had spotted him, Domenic emerged from the shadows with a stern expression etched across his face.

Sumner halted just a short distance from Domenic, and the two men locked eyes in a tense standoff.

The atmosphere crackled with palpable tension as they stood face to face, neither breaking the intense gaze.

Despite being seated in a wheelchair, Sumner exuded an unyielding aura as he scrutinized Domenic from head to toe.

A contemptuous smirk played at the corners of his mouth as he spoke with dripping sarcasm.

“Well, well.

Have you finally remembered you have a girlfriend in the hospital?”

Domenic’s eyes bore into Sumner’s with a depth of meaning, yet he remained silent.

His lips curled into a deliberate smirk as he spoke, each word dripping with satisfaction.

“You took your sweet time showing up after all these days since the accident.

But you’re too late.

You saw what just happened.

Lindsey has promised to be with me.

”

Domenic’s eyebrows drew together suddenly as he glanced at Sumner’s legs and said coldly, “Is it because of your leg?”

Sumner was surprised, not expecting Domenic to be so sharp and direct.

Domenic’s words felt like a stab to Sumner’s heart, making him clutch the wheelchair’s armrests tightly.

Yet he kept his face calm and collected, pretending to be unfazed.

“Of course not.

Linds agreed to be with me way before the accident.

Domenic gave a slight, dismissive smile, looking down on Sumner.

“If that’s true, why didn’t she tell me directly? Why did you send her away with an excuse? Was it because you all got tangled up with your broken leg, mixing reality with daydreams? Did Lindsey just look after you for a few days, and you’ve already built castles in the air?”

Sumner’s cheeks turned a deep red with rage at his words.

He couldn’t stand Domenic acting superior.

Feeling both humiliated and furious, Sumner scowled deeply, pulled out his phone, and thrust it at Domenic.

“You doubt me? Take a look at this.

”

The photo showed Lindsey and Sumner in a tight embrace under a sky filled with shooting stars.

Sumner had asked the grill owner to take this picture and send it to him secretly.

Lindsey didn’t know about it.

Sumner had always valued honesty, never playing games with love.

He just wanted Lindsey to see his true feelings and choose him freely.

But as he watched her fall deeper under Domenic’s spell, no matter what he tried, he couldn’t intervene.

He thought, if being honest couldn’t compete with Domenic’s smooth talk, he’d have to play rough too.

Sumner believed that eventually Lindsey would realize Domenic’s deception on her own and return to him, being thankful in the end.

When Domenic saw the photo, his cool demeanor instantly turned frosty.

He had vowed to trust Lindsey, remaining calm despite Sumner’s previous attempts to sway him, waiting for Lindsey’s explanation.
