Marrying A Secret Zillionaire: Happy Ever After Novel

Chapter 1241: Before she could process what was happening, a strong hand pulled her into a firm embrace, and a strikingly handsome face appeared mere inches from hers. Startled, Linsey immediately pushed against the man's chest, stumbling backward several steps until her back pressed against the door. She stared at him in complete shock. Several seconds of stunned silence passed before she glared at him accusingly. "Why are you lurking around like some kind of shadow?" Collin remained motionless, his penetrating gaze fixed intently on hers.

That intense stare made Linsey's scalp prickle with unease. Steeling herself, she demanded, "What do you want?" Linsey couldn't help but think his moods shifted like storm clouds-completely unpredictable. Fortunately, she had developed nerves of steel. Otherwise, she feared he might genuinely frighten her to death one of these days. While she was lost in these thoughts, Collin didn't answer her question but instead asked, "What did Grandma say to you? Did she ask you to leave me?" Anxiety crept into his voice as he pulled her closer once more, his fingers gripping her chin firmly.

The air between them crackled with tension. His tone turned commanding, almost desperate. "Linsey, listen to me carefully. You belong to me, even in death. If you dare listen to Grandma and leave me, I'll end you right here and now!" Those words made Linsey's eyes roll involuntarily. She met his intense gaze steadily and lifted his hand away from her face. "Stop acting like a madman." "Who's acting like a madman?" Collin fixed her with what he hoped was a fierce glare. "I'm completely serious." "Whoever responds is the one being crazy," Linsey said calmly.

"You..." Collin's fury blazed as he reached out to grab her neck, but Linsey showed no trace of fear, swatting his hand away with swift precision. |@te$t ¢#@pter$ |n g@!novel$.c0m The next moment, she adopted a stern, almost maternal tone. "If you keep this up, I really will leave." "Don't you dare!" The mere mention of leaving triggered Collin's explosive roar, his voice thundering so loudly it seemed capable of bursting Linsey's eardrums. "No, what I meant was...

Um..." Before Linsey could finish her sentence, Collin's large hand cupped the back of her head, and he bent down to capture her lips in a fierce, demanding kiss. Linsey pushed him away with every ounce of strength, then instinctively raised her hand to deliver a sharp slap across his face. She couldn't help but think he was absolutely insane, always launching into these possessive kisses without warning, like some overbearing male lead straight out of a melodrama. Just as her palm was about to connect with Collin's face, Ivy's gentle voice suddenly rang in her memory.

Linsey's lips pressed into a thin line as she slowly lowered her raised hand, her expression turning serious. "I'll be merciful and overlook this behavior." Collin stared at her, and neither broke the silence. After what felt like an eternity, reality finally crashed over him as her earlier words registered in his mind. "Hold on... are you telling me Grandma didn't try convincing you to leave me?" he questioned, his voice suddenly uncertain. . . .
