Marrying A Secret Zillionaire: Happy Ever After Novel

Chapter 1171: With calm honesty, Ivy explained, "Some time ago, Kase came to me, hoping that Haven would marry Collin. Since he was Carly's husband, I felt I should at least let Haven and Collin get to know each other." She then continued, "Five years back, there really was an engagement set between us and the Walton family. But when Haven learned about Collin's so-called disability, she believed all the gossip and rumors, and she ended up running away before the wedding. That day, I already knew Haven wasn't meant for Collin.

After that, I only went along with Kase's wishes out of respect for Carly. I never truly wanted them to get married." When she heard this, Linsey's eyes filled with emotion, and a lump rose in her throat. There was no real need for Ivy to explain so much. Even so, she had chosen to clear the air, hoping to put her mind at ease. With a gentle smile, Ivy brushed Linsey's cheek. "No one will ever take your place, Linsey. In my heart, you are the very best." Tears shone in Linsey's eyes as she looked at Ivy, feeling the warmth of her affection. Words full of gratitude slipped out.

"Thank you, Ivy." Keeping her promise, Ivy didn't linger much longer and soon left the room. Linsey waited by the hospital door, watching Ivy's figure disappear down the hall before turning to look back at Collin. Collin noticed the reproach in her gaze and immediately felt his heartbeat skip, a sense of nervousness growing stronger. "Sweetheart, did something happen?" Linsey suppressed her feelings and quietly shut the door. Instead of joining Collin on the bed, she retreated to the couch, folding her arms with a subtle air of detachment.

"Collin, do you recall what we promised each other when we remarried?" Linsey asked, her voice deliberate, a faint glimmer of tears welling in her eyes. She hadn't anticipated that even now, Collin would still withhold things from her. Get the newest chapters gαℓησvls․com At her words, Collin responded promptly, "Of course I remember.

I vowed never to lie to you again." After a brief pause, he cautiously asked, "Linsey, are you upset because I went through with the surgery without telling you?" Collin reflected on recent events, realizing the only thing he had kept from her was the vasectomy he had had that day. Linsey's eyes widened slightly, a mix of surprise and embarrassment flashing across her face. "Who said I was upset about that?" Observing her reaction, Collin thought for a moment before explaining sincerely, "Linsey, last night after you fell asleep, I booked a check-up and scheduled the surgery.

I didn't mention it because I didn't want you to worry. I wasn't trying to sneak out this morning." Hearing that, Linsey gave a soft huff, looking away with an air of mock indifference. "Do whatever you want. I don't care anymore. If you slip out without a word in the future, I won't complain." Her words only confirmed to Collin that leaving silently that morning had been a misstep. "Linsey, I messed up. From now on, I'll always let you know before I go anywhere. Even if you're asleep, I'll send a text so you don't worry," he said earnestly. . . .
