Chapter 192 We Were Supposed To Get Married
Collin’s brow furrowed with concern.
Linsey was his priority. He couldn’t ignore the nagging feeling that her mood had soured.
Was it Kylee’s presence that had upset her?
He glanced at Kylee, her eyes sparkling with anticipation.
Despite his concerns about Linsey, he couldn’t deny Kylee’s presence. They had a shared history, a bond forged in
childhood.
After a moment of contemplation, he decided it would be impolite to dismiss her so abruptly. “Alright, Kylee, what did you
want to talk about?”
A wave of triumph washed over Kylee.
Just as she had suspected, she still held a special place in Collin’s heart. Linsey was no competition.
Seizing the moment, Kylee suggested, “I’ve just returned, and Grester feels so unfamiliar now. Would you mind taking me
for a walk? I’d love to revisit some of our childhood haunts.”
Collin hesitated for a moment before agreeing. “Okay,” he said.
He figured that by the time they returned, Linsey would probably be finished with her work, and they could finally have a
proper conversation.
Collin and Kylee left the villa together, unaware that Linsey stood on the balcony of the second–floor study, watching them
depart.
Kylee, with her statuesque figure and striking beauty, seemed perfectly suited to Collin.
From her vantage point, Linsey couldn’t help but feel a pang of insecurity. Collin and Kylee looked like a match made in
heaven.
They were childhood sweethearts, their bond forged through years of shared experiences.

Collin’s expression remained unchanged, his voice flat. “The past is the past, Kylee.”
Tears welled up in Kylee’s eyes as she turned to face him, her voice trembling with emotion. We were supposed to get married, Collin,” she reminded him. “But then… you had that terrible accident.”
Her gaze flickered towards his legs, a silent reminder of the tragedy that had changed their lives. “When my parents found out… they forced me to break off the engagement. They took me away, far away. Collin, do you still blame me for leaving?
Her expression and voice were filled with remorse as she desperately tried to explain herself. “I truly didn’t want to leave I felt so guilty, so heartbroken.”
She took a deep breath, her voice barely a whisper. “I often wonder, if the accident hadn’t happened, would we be married
by now? Would we have a family?”
“Kylee,” Collin interrupted, his voice firm but gentle, “I’ve never blamed you for any of it.”
Kylee lowered her eyes. “Collin, I know that if it weren’t for your support, I wouldn’t have achieved any of this.”
Tears glistened in her eyes as she looked at him, her voice filled with admiration and sympathy. “Everyone in town dismisses you, Collin,” she said, her voice breaking. “They call you the black sheep of the Riley family. But I know you, I know how capable you truly are. They’ve all misunderstood you, and it breaks my heart to see how they’ve treated you.”
