Heartbreak Brings Mr. Right
Chapter 281

A look of disbelief appeared in his eyes.

He couldn’t believe that he would oversleep one day.

It had been ages since he had slept so soundly.

Busy with endless tasks, he was used to getting by on minimal sleep, often waking up around four or five in the morning.

But today, he actually slept till seven o’clock.

He hadn’t had such a restful sleep in a long time.

Was it because he shared the bed with Lindsey?

With a slight smile, Domenic got out of bed and walked to the living room, only to see Lindsey in the kitchen wearing an apron, seemingly preparing breakfast.

But there was a smell of something burning.

Domenic hurried over, concerned, calling out, “Linds.

”

Lindsey anxiously watched as the eggs in the pan were close to burning.

Suddenly, a voice from behind startled her.

In her surprise, she accidentally touched the hot pan’s edge and let out a painful groan as her finger got scalded.

Domenic rushed to her, quickly taking her burned finger into his mouth for relief.

“You-” Lindsey stammered, blushing as she saw her finger in his mouth.

Domenic promptly shut off the stove.

The kitchen, now filled with smoke, caused Lindsey to cough uncontrollably.

He guided her to the Living room sofa, urging her to sit.

Then, he retrieved the first-aid kit, selecting an ointment for burns.

Sitting beside her, he gently blew on the burn as he carefully applied the ointment.

“Why weren’t you more careful?” Domenic asked, his concern evident as he examined the blisters on her finger.

Lindsey, feeling guilty, looked down and apologized, “I’m sorry.

You’ve always made breakfast for me, so I wanted to do the same for you.

But- I’ve never really cooked before.

I thought it would be simple, but I ended up causing chaos in your kitchen-“

Looking up, Domenic noticed Lindsey lowering her head, her pink Lips pursed as though she felt she had done something wrong.

He gently stroked her hair, saying, “From now on, I’ll handle the cooking.

You don’t need to do anything you’re not comfortable with for me.

I’ll always protect you when I’m here.

Just make sure to take care of yourself and avoid getting hurt when I’m not around.

”

His tone was soft and affectionate, which lifted Lindsey’s spirits and added a touch of sweetness to her otherwise gloomy mood.

“Alright, I understand.

” She nodded in agreement, then instinctively glanced at the clock on the Living room wall and abruptly stood up from the sofa.

“I’m running late for work, and the kitchen…” She looked back at the mess she had created.

“Go ahead.

Don’t worry about it.

I’ll sort out the kitchen,” Domenic reassured her gently after bandaging her finger.

Lindsey felt a bit guilty, but there really was no time to lose.

“I’m sorry to trouble you.

” Rushing back to her room, she quickly changed into her work clothes, grabbed her bag, and hurried out.

Once she left, Domenic called Hendrix, instructing him to have someone clean the kitchen.
