NovelEnglishChapter 875 Domenic pulled her closer, his voice low in her ear.
"I'm sorry.
I promised I wouldn't be jealous of Sumner, but I just can't help it.
Every tI see you with him, I lose control.
I wish he would just vanish from this world and never cross your path again.
He buried his face in her neck and pleaded, “Linds, can you please stop seeing him?" Lindsey felt torn.
Biting her lip awkwardly, she replied, "He's my artist.
I'll always have to see him, and..." She struggled to explain her commitment to take care of Sumner without adding more tension.
As she wrestled with her thoughts, Domenic's voice softened in her ear.
"Once we're married, you won't have to be so stretched thin.
You can manage the artists through other agents and take the lead from behind the scenes.

In the past, Lindsey would have been overjoyed to hear what Domenic was saying.
But now, things were different.
She hesitated briefly and then gently pushed him away.
She no longer wanted to keep secrets from him, so she decided it was tto reveal everything.
With her lips turning pale, she struggled to speak.
"On the day of the car accident, a huge stone crushed one of Sumner's legs while he was saving me.
If it weren't for him, I'd be the one in the hospital bed right now... I couldn't just go on with my life and ignore what happened, so I promised to take care of him until he can walk on his own again.
" She paused, glanced at Domenic, and clenched her hands.
"Also, I promised him I wouldn't marry until he's recovered.
" Domenic's eyes widened in shock.
He stared at her, unable to speak for a moment, before finally stammering, "What are you telling me?" Lindsey looked down, her voice soft but firm.
"When there was a fire at my mother's apartment, Sumner didn't hesitate to rush in and save us.
I owe him my life.
Not once, but twice.
I need to repay him, or I'll never be at peace.
" "So, you're saying you'd rather stay single to take care of him?" Domenic thought it was unfair, feeling his anger rise again.
Grabbing Lindsey's shoulders, he shouted in desperation, "What about me? What about us? Do you care aboutless than you care about Sumner's leg? Do you really think that way?" Lindsey bit her lip, her eyes brimming with tears.
She looked at him and said softly, “But being together doesn't mean we have to get married, right? Marriage is just a formality.
As long as we love each other, anywhere can be our home, can't it?" Domenic's laughter was bitter, filled with disbelief.
He had fought for the family inheritance, clashed in business battles, and even stood up against his own grandfather.
He did all this not just to avenge his parents, but to marry Lindsey, to declare to the world that she was his wife. They would have adorable children and a joyful family life.
He had envisioned their future together, but Lindsey's decision made it all seem like a cruel joke.

Suddenly, Domenic felt a hollow emptiness inside, as, if he had turned as if he had turned back to a life of endless destruction, En.
empty and alone. It was true.
Sumner had risked her life for her twice.
But he himself? He had only stood by during the fire, watching her face danger.
It made sense for her to choose Sumner, didn't it? Domenic felt like there was a heavy stone weighing on his heart, making his eyes sting.
He released his hold on Lindsey and stepped back, forcing a bitter smile.
Both Lindsey and Domenic shared a similar pain.
Lindsey understood how hard this was for Domenic.
She knew her words were hurtful, but she felt she had no other option.
Her focus now was to help Sumner heal as quickly as possible.
"You understand where I'm coming from, right?" Tears welled in Lindsey's eyes as she looked at the depressed En man before her.
"If that little girl who once saved you from the cellar was in trouble, you wouldn't just stand by, would you? My mother taughtto repay kindness from a young age. These are life debts, and while I can't repay them with my life, I can only do this.
