Chapter 221 You’re Truly
A Devoted Husband
Linsey still remembered the promise she had made to Dustin earlier in his car–to speak highly of him in front of Collin.
This gesture would likely lessen the chance of Dustin steering clear of future meetings with Collin.
Knowing how seldom Collin made friends, Linsey was keen to prevent a fleeting impulse from ruining his relationship with
Dustin
Yet, Collin perceived the situation through a different lens. He noted Linsey’s genuine appreciation for the photograph,
which coaxed him into extending a reluctant olive branch toward Dustin.
After agreeing to keep the photograph, Collin made sure to caution Dustin. “This is a one–time thing. Do not take photos
without permission again.”
Linsey softly patted Collin’s shoulder, urging gently, “Come on, don’t be so mean.”
Collin paused, seemed about to justify himself, then finally admitted in his defense. “I wasn’t being harsh. Just giving a
reminder.”
Dustin, observing all this, marveled quietly to himself.
He recognized that soliciting Linsey’s assistance had been a wise decision. The shift in Collin’s demeanor was immediate
and remarkable.
It struck him then–had he ever noticed how adept Collin was at modulating his emotions?
Simultaneously, Dustin experienced a quiet shock.
Collin, typically so resolute and unwavering, was now taking heed of a woman’s advice.
Was this moment more a testament to Linsey’s influence or a nod to Collin’s newfound adaptability?
Linsey laughed lightly, flicking away some dust from Collin’s jacket.
Collin raised his hand, signaling her to stop, and murmured, “It’s dirty. Don’t touch it.”
“Then go change quickly. I’ll have the staff clean up the kitchen,” Linsey said as she turned to seek the maids out.
Collin moved toward Dustin, inquiring, “What did you want to talk about?”
He paused, then offered her a conciliatory smile and gently took her hand.
“Alright, I understand. Don’t overdo it, okay? Let the maids handle everything and make sure they prepare something nice for you to eat,” Collin conceded.
Linsey nodded in agreement and gestured for Collin’s assistant to come and push his wheelchair.
After changing, Collin made his way into the study with Dustin.
As soon as the door closed behind them, Collin caught Dustin giving him a peculiar look.
Collin scowled. “What’s with that look?”
Dustin shook his head, took a seat on the sofa, and let out a heavy sigh. “How did I not see it before? You’re truly a devoted husband. It seems you follow your wife’s suggestions without any resistance.”
