Chapter 723 "You're utterly blinded by love.
You're being played by him.
You will do whatever he asks you to do.
Are you not scared of being cheated? What if he ends up hurting you?" It dawned on Lindsey that Leonel might be basing his harsh judgment on the previous day's incident, leading him to a grave misinterpretation of Domenic.
However, Domenic had already clarified everything to her.
How could Leonel judge so harshly without all the facts and still push her to leave Domenic? That was something she couldn't accept.
"I'm mature enough to make my own decisions.
I think you've got the wrong idea about my boyfriend.

But hearout, Lindsey.
I'm only trying to protect you.
Your lack of experience is making you vulnerable to his deceit.
" "He would never deceive me," Lindsey said with a raised voice and unwavering conviction.
She alone understood the contentment and joy she felt with Domenic when they were together.
The affection and care he showed filled the void left by her absent mother and brother.
Domenic had always been her protector, never causing her harm.
In her heart, he was her forever love, deserving of her complete trust.
Especially after their heartfelt conversation the night before, Lindsey couldn't stand to hear a bad word about him from Leonel.
With tears brimming in her eyes, she implored Leonel, "You simply don't understand him.
He's dedicated and works tirelessly.
He treatswith kindness.
Being with him bringshappiness and comfort.
Isn't that what you and Mom wish for me-to be truly happy?" Leonel's anger escalated upon seeing Lindsey's determination.
He abruptly grabbed her wrist, intent on dragging her to the hospital.
With a cold tone, he said, "Let's go.
You can tell our mom directly how much you adore this deceitful man, how you're willing to hand over everything she's worked for to him.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmGo on, share your plans with her.
Do you think Mom will approve? And while we're at it, perhaps a visit to the psychiatric department is in order.
I'm curious if there's something off with your way of thinking.
"Leonel, how many more times must forey I repeat myself before you accept that my boyfriend isn't the kind of person you make him out to be?" The pressure of Leonel's grip was painful, and Lindsey felt wronged.
Tears threatened to spill, but she held them back.
Why couldn't her family trust her judgment? She longed to be with the one she loved, yet the closest and dearest people in her life seemed determined to tear them apart without understanding the situation, all in the nof her well-being. Her brother didn't even listen to her explanation.
He just believed what he thought.
Shouldn't her love and choice be respected and supported by herm family? Why must her brother mock her and belittle her relationship so harshly? In his anger, Leonel had spoken without restraint.
But upon seeing Lindsey bow her head and bite her Lip in apparent pain, a twinge of regret washed over him. Once the words were out, Leonel realized he couldn't take them back.
Too proud to apologize, he remained silent for a long tbefore saying, "Think about what I've said.
