Marrying A Secret Zillionaire Happy Ever After novel Chapter 291

Chapter 291 How About A

Kiss First

Annoyance washed over Linsey immediately. “Collin! Why must you act so childishly?” she exclaimed.

Unperturbed by her chiding. Collin only shrugged. To him, what harm was there in being a tad childish with his wife?

However, noticing her growing irritation, he teased, “If you’re dying of curiosity, I might consider divulging my secrets. How about a kiss first? Then, I’ll unveil any secret you wish to unravel.”

With a dismissive snort, Linsey turned away, her lips curling into a defiant pout. “I’ve lost all interest in your childish games,” she declared, sure she had predicted Collin’s typical antics.

“Is that so?” Collin’s words floated lazily through the air, his tone teasing, pulling at her resolve.

Despite her curiosity, Linsey maintained a steely posture, her arms folded tightly. “Indeed, I have no desire to know. Spare

me your secrets.”

Collin, his back to her, could still picture the spirited fire in her eyes; it endeared her even more to him and warmed his

heart.

Time passed, and they reached their home.

Linsey, weary from their day’s adventures, quickly freshened up and collapsed into bed, her body sinking deeply into the comforting embrace of their sheets.

Later, when Collin wrapped up his remaining work and joined her in the quiet of the night, he overheard her talking in her sleep. “Collin… what wish did you make… you infuriating man, always hiding things…” she muttered, her words tangled in

the threads of her dreams.

Collin was surprised at first, and his initial shock soon morphed into a tender smile, his eyes sparkling with affection.

Unbeknownst to him, his wish had infiltrated her dreams, an indication that his words had resonated deeply within her.

Collin eased himself onto the seat beside her resting form, inching closer until his breath was a whisper against her ear. “Linsey,” he murmured with heartfelt sincerity, “my only wish is to spend eternity by your side.”

The old clock in the living room chose that exact moment to toll midnight, its deep chimes echoing through the silence like

a solemn vow

Holding his breath, Collin brushed a soft, affectionate kiss against Linsey’s forehead, sealing his whispered confession.

Her phone broke the morning’s routine with its shrill ring, flashing an unknown number across its screen.

She had been stretched thin back then, barely scraping by financially and juggling several jobs, which had left her scant

time to bond with her peers.

Moreover, a few of her classmates had always seemed inexplicably hostile towards her.

Considering that, why would she spend her time on a reunion that sparked no joy in her heart?

“I might have prior commitments this weekend,” Linsey responded, her tone courteous yet distant, as she subtly declined

the invitation.

Kane’s sigh came through the line, tinged with disappointment. “Linsey, you’ve been keeping yourself quite busy lately. I

just got off the phone with Shari–she jumped at the chance to come. She’s really looking forward to seeing you.”

At the mention of Shari Bates, Linsey’s eyebrows shot up in astonishment. “Shari? Wait, when did she return? And she’s really attending the reunion?”
