Heartbreak Brings Mr. Right

Although she had become a judge on the show later, Sumner’s hostility toward her had not reduced.

Sumner was very concerned.

He quickened his pace and caught up with Lindsey.

He grabbed her wrist and pulled her behind him before she could say anything.

He asked Lindsey, “Why are you with her?”

Lindsey was still trying to fathom out what was going on.

She asked, “Why? What’s going on?”

Sumner didn’t answer immediately.

Instead, he turned to look at Carole.

Carole smiled amiably at Sumner and said, “Sumner, do you remember me? I’m from the judging panel of Star Search.

”

Sumner mumbled a disinterested “Hmmm”.

Lindsey pinched his arm.

“Mind your manners.

Miss Larson gave you invaluable professional advice.

”

Sumner asked reluctantly, “What brought you here, Miss Larson?”

“The shooting for the second episode is about to commence.

How are your preparations going? If you have any questions, feel free to ask me.

I’ll be happy to share my knowledge with you,” Carole offered politely.

However, Sumner did not reciprocate her kindness.

He replied curtly, “No need.

” He kept a vigilant eye on Carole and strategically positioned himself so as to protect Lindsey.

Lindsey tried to lean forward, but Sumner held her firmly.

It wasn’t appropriate to struggle in public so she stopped resisting.

Carole observed Sumner’s protective stance and seemed to understand something.

She smiled and said, “You have a lot of potential.

Keep working hard and you are bound to achieve better results in the second episode.

Unfortunately, I won’t be participating in the second episode, but next week is my engagement ceremony.Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Would you and Lindsey like to attend as my special guests?”

Sumner’s frowned Was this woman about to get engaged? What did this mean for her ties with Domenic? Had he been mistaken all along?

“Why did you step down from being a judge? You have an engagement party next Tuesday.

It doesn’t overlap with your TV show commitments, does it?” Lindsey asked, looking confused.

Carole offered a bashful smile, tilting her head down slightly, “My fiancé prefers me out of the limelight.

I’ve promised him that I’ll focus on being a housewife once we’re engaged.

”

Noticing Carole’s happy look, Lindsey couldn’t help but ask, “You’re quite the catch.

The man who’s convinced you to marry him must be remarkable.

I’m eager to see who has captured your affection.

”

Carole smiled meaningfully.

“You’ll find out when the time comes.

”

Sumner sensed a deeper meaning behind Carole’s smile.

He couldn’t stop watching her, but Lindsey swiftly found an excuse to distract him, allowing them to make their exit.

Upon reaching a jewelry store, Lindsey, walking next to Carole, inquired, “Miss Larson, why didn’t your fiancé accompany you to pick out the ring?”

Carole’s accounts had painted a picture of a couple deeply in love.

Wouldn’t they want to share this moment together?

Carole answered with composure, “He’s busy with work and seldom gets a break.

I’m capable of managing some things by myself.

”

Lindsey found herself admiring Carole’s independence and thoughtfulness towards her partner, a stark contrast to the stereotypical jealous and clingy girlfriend.

This piqued Lindsey’s interest further.

What kind of formidable man had persuaded such a woman to willingly leave her job and devote herself to domestic life?
