Marrying A Secret Zillionaire Happy Ever After novel Chapter 237

Chapter 237 Did I Scare You

For a fleeting moment, Collin felt a wave of happiness. Suddenly, his mood darkened as he remembered Gorman’s imminent return to Grester.

He knew the arrival of Gorman heralded nothing but trouble. Gorman would undoubtedly strive to complicate his life.

This was the reason behind Collin’s diligence in monitoring Gorman’s whereabouts, preparing for the direst scenarios, and ensuring that Linsey remained uninvolved.

As these concerns flooded his thoughts, Collin’s forehead creased, and his face took on a graver expression.

From her spot in the pool, Linsey caught the transformation in Collin’s face. He seemed engulfed in his thoughts, burdened by some silent distress.

She halted her swimming and cleared the water from her face.

Lately, Collin had been a fixture at his desk, seldom breaking away from his work.

Often when Linsey returned from her job, she would find him engrossed in his work in the study, the hours slipping by

unnoticed.

Without her reminders, Collin might toil away into the night, neglecting even to sleep.

Concern etched on her face, Linsey felt compelled to coax him into a moment of leisure.

Since the pool was not an option for him…

A playful idea struck her.

She grinned mischievously, inhaled deeply, and plunged into the cool water.

It was only when Collin emerged from his ponderings that he noticed Linsey had not come up for air.

His concern deepened, and he wheeled himself closer, calling out, “Linsey!”

No reply came. He called her name again and again.

His gaze fixed on the undisturbed surface of the pool, fear gripped him.

Had something happened to Linsey?

In a surge of alarm, Collin attempted to stand from his wheelchair.

Unperturbed by his mild scolding, Linsey splashed water towards him. “Humph! What’s wrong with being childish?”

The water drenched Collin’s clothes in an instant.

Collin looked down at his soaked attire and narrowed his eyes, his voice dropping to a teasing murmur. “Linsey, are you sure you want to provoke me like this? Aren’t you afraid I might retaliate?”

Confident that Collin wouldn’t actually follow through, Linsey grinned victoriously. “You can’t even get in the water, so how are you going to catch me?”

Collin’s expression suddenly turned mischievous. “What if I told you I could catch you?”

“I don’t believe you. If you can, then do whatever you want,” Linsey challenged, her confidence unshaken.

“Really? Do as I please?” Collin’s gaze intensified as he watched her, a playful challenge dancing in his eyes.
