Heartbreak Brings Mr. Right

Just as the stick was about to land on her, Lindsey suddenly knelt down in front of Benny.

“Dad, I’m sorry.

I went out to play cards with my friends last night and totally forgot about the time.

I didn’t know when my phone ran out of battery.

I’m really sorry that I made you worry about me.

”

Stunned, Benny’s hand, which was holding the stick, froze mid-air.

In the past, Lindsey would never yield to him, no matter what happened.

She’d always argue with him over anything and everything under the sun, so his relationship with her had always been strained.Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

So, what was going on now?

Lindsey knew what she was doing.

Kendra was good at manipulating Benny into trusting her, and moreover, Lindsey didn’t have any evidence about Kendra’s plot.

Even if she told her dad everything that happened last night, he would take Kendra’s word over hers.

Thus, she decided to pretend to be obedient and do nothing for the time being while waiting for the perfect opportunity to strike.

“Dad, Kendra isn’t my biological mom, so it’s only natural that she doesn’t know me that well.

But you-you’re my father.

You should know me better, and I would never do anything that would damage our family’s reputation!”

Tears welled up in Lindsey’s eyes as she spoke, which made her look oh-so pitiful.

Although Benny and Lindsey’s mother had been divorced for years, he had always been a dutiful father.

So, when he heard Lindsey’s sincere apology, his heart softened.

He put the stick away and said in a gentler tone, “Well, it’s good that you’ve realized your mistake.

Just don’t do it again, okay? Now, get up.

”

Seeing Benny forgive Lindsey so easily made Kendra feel a tinge of displeasure.

But now, she had to stick to the plan and pretend everything was fine, so she swallowed the resentment in her heart and forced a fake smile.

“See? I knew it was all just a misunderstanding.

Lindsey is such a good girl; she wouldn’t go about sleeping around like those slutty women.

Right, Lindsey?”

Lindsey knew that she was implying something, but she managed to maintain her smile, though her eyes remained cold.

“By the way, Lindsey, your father wanted to tell you something.

”

Kendra nudged Benny with her elbow and winked at him meaningfully.

Benny took a deep breath and sat back on the sofa.

Then he cleared his throat and said earnestly, “Lindsey, I’ve thought it through, and Kendra’s right.

I shouldn’t force you to marry someone you don’t like, nor should I keep you from marrying the man you do.

Although Chayce comes from an ordinary family, you like each other.

That’s what matters.

”

Lindsey was stunned by her father’s sudden change in attitude.

Her dad had always thought that Chayce was a man who would rely on powerful.

women to rise to the top, so he strongly opposed their union.

Moreover, before she and Chayce even met, her dad had already selected a suitable husband material for her—the youngest son of the Ford family, Adrian Ford.

But Adrian was a playboy and was involved in a Lot of gossip.

Lindsey didn’t want to marry someone like him and this had been a point of contention between her and her father.

“And just this morning, I heard that Adrian got into a fight with someone at a club-all for a prostitute.

The scandal made headlines!

I wouldn’t be able to forgive myself if I forced you to marry such a man.

” After letting out a sigh, Benny continued sincerely, “As Long as Chayce treats you well, I’ll no Longer object to your relationship.
