Chapter 743 The answer Xiomara anticipated resonated in her heart.
Tightening her grip on Sumner's cuff, she asked, "Is it Lindsey? The one you care for, is it Lindsey?" Sumner fell into silence.
Witnessing Sumner's silence, Xiomara understood everything.
All along, she had seen the adoration in Sumner's eyes for Lindsey.

He's not deserving of Lindsey's love!" Xiomara was shocked by his outburst and opened her mouth without making a sound.
Sumner continued, "Lindsey is just blinded by him for now.
When his true colors show, she'll see what kind of person he really is! By then, she'll know who's the right person for her!" Sumner believed that when the tcame, Lindsey would turn to him for comfort, understanding his genuine love for her.

But it would have been much cruel to give her false hope.
To wait for something that would never happen was the most painful was thing of all. "It's not about you.
You're a wonderful person.
Don't be too hard on yourself.
You're going to find someone who's a much better match for youthan could ever be. Xiomara understood everything with those words.
Her grip on his cuff gradually relaxed, and a sad smile crossed her face. There was no use in pursuing a connection that was never meant to be.
