“The Perry family?” Domenic furrowed his brow a bit and questioned, “Are you familiar with them?”


    Lindsey said, “Of course not.


    The Perry family is out of my social circle.Published by N?v''elD/rama.Org.


    My sister Shelia told me that Jacob Perry wants her to meet his parents, and she’s asked me toe too.


    I’m notfortable going to these things by myself.


    It feels strange going alone.


    So, I was hoping you coulde with me…”


    Even though the Perry family is among the top four families, just like the Walsh family, they’re the least influential of the four.


    They’re not in the same league as the Walsh family.


    The Perry family has tried to work with the Walsh Group a few times but only managed to meet with some junior folks from thepany.


    Moreover, Domenic was a man of mystery, always staying under the radar, ensuring that his true identity as a member of the distinguished Walsh family remained hidden from sight.


    “Sure, I’ll join you.


    These family gatherings always have a bunch of young guys around.


    What if someone tries to sweep my beautiful, kind, and clever fiancée off her feet?” Domenic’s lips curled into a half-smile.


    “You’re getting quite the smooth talker!” Lindsey Laughed as she fed Domenic a piece of cake.


    Domenic squinted his eyes and with a thoughtful look, gestured towards her mouth.


    “Right there.


    ”


    Lindsey blinked in surprise but then felt the dab of cream on her lips.


    She quickly wiped it away from the corner of her mouth.


    Suddenly, Domenic’s gaze deepened, he reached out, holding the back of her head gently, and leaned in for a ki*s on her Lips.


    Reeling from the ki*s, Lindsey heard his voice close to her ear, deep and smooth.


    “I’ve always wondered how sweet your Lips would be.


    And they are.


    ”


    That weekend, the Perry family’s grand banquet was held at their vi.


    The hill behind was dotted withnterns, Lighting up the night sky like stars on earth.


    Lindsey followed the directions from Shelia and reached the vi with Domenic.


    She looked up at the hill, now a canvas of Lights, and thought about the Perry family’svish lifestyle to host such an event.


    Shelia appeared at the vi’s entrance and saw Lindsey admiring the view.


    She teased, “Lindsey, caught your eye, hasn’t it? Not every day you see something this grand, I suppose?”


    Lindsey turned to find Shelia in a flowing gown of silk that clung and moved with her, a picture of understated sophistication.


    Her usual bold makeup was reced with a softer touch, and her hair was pulled back in a ssic bun, giving her the air of a refineddy.


    In contrast, Lindsey’s choice was modest.


    She wore a white blouse and a skirt blooming with flowers.


    Next to Shelia’svish look, it was quite in.


    Shelia’s lips twitched with a smirk, d Lindsey hadn’t tried to outshine her today.


    Shelia thought that at least Lindsey knew her ce.


    Then her eyes drifted to the man beside Lindsey.


    He stood there, hand in his pocket, ck jacket adding to his impressive presence.


    His striking looks made him stand out, regardless of the setting.
