Marrying A Secret Zillionaire Happy Ever After novel Chapter 35

Chapter 35 Why Did You

Come Yourself

Linsey approached the car, conscious of the curious gazes following her every step. She lightly tapped on the rear window.

The door swiftly swung open, and Collin’s figure came into view.

“I saw him! I saw him again! He’s even more handsome up close!”

Another excited whisper rose from behind her.

“That gorgeous woman and that stunning man–they have to be a couple, right? They look perfect together!”

“Forget their love story. I’m more jealous of their wealth.”

For once, Linsey found her sharp hearing to be a curse. The murmurs made her uneasy, so she quickly slipped into the car and shut the door, sealing herself away from the prying eyes and chatter.

Inside, she turned to Collin. The soft glow from the car’s interior light illuminated his face. A laptop rested on his lap, his fingers lightly tapping the keyboard as he remained immersed in his work, seemingly indifferent to the commotion outside.

“Drive,” Collin instructed.

“Yes, Mr. Riley,” the driver responded, and the car smoothly merged into the flow of traffic.

Linsey hesitated to speak, not wanting to interrupt him.

Yet, she couldn’t stop herself from watching him–his sharp features, his unwavering focus.

Collin had always been perceptive of people’s gazes, and naturally, he noticed her lingering stare.

If it had been anyone else, he would have ignored it and continued working.

But something about Linsey’s eyes felt different, as if her gaze carried an invisible hook, lightly tugging at something inside him, keeping him from concentrating.

Unable to disregard it any longer, he finally turned to her. “Why are you staring at me?”

She blinked in surprise, not expecting him to catch on so quickly.

A bit flustered, she reasoned that as his wife, it wasn’t strange for her to look at him.

Holding onto that thought, she steadied herself and replied, “I was just curious. Why did you come yourself? I thought you

were only sending the driver.”

So she hadn’t just been out to pass the time–she had gone to the mall specifically to buy something for him.

“Alright. We’ll see when we get home,” he replied, keeping his tone deliberately casual.

Linsey’s eyes lit up. “Okay. Let’s go home.”

She was in high spirits, unaware that elsewhere, two people were in a completely different mood.

Felix and Joanna stood frozen outside the mall, still in disbelief.

Just moments ago, they had watched Linsey climb into a luxury car and drive off.

Even now, with the car long gone, they remained rooted to the spot, stunned.

Linsey had gotten into another man’s car.

Seriously?

Could it be that she had been telling the truth all along? That she really was married?

And not just to anyone—but to a man who was both incredibly handsome and unquestionably successful?
