Marrying A Secret Zillionaire: Happy Ever After Novel

Chapter 1245: "Whether you want to go or not is irrelevant. You have to," he declared with quiet finality. Linsey's expression darkened, and the glass of milk slipped from her startled grip, striking the table with a dull thud. He had tormented her all night, and now he was pulling the same nonsense this morning. What had she possibly done to deserve this endless torture? Linsey's blood began to boil as fury consumed her thoughts. The idea of calling Ivy suddenly seemed brilliant. Maybe she could still grab that five-million-dollar check and escape this nightmare.

She genuinely couldn't stand being around Collin for another moment. The man was absolutely insufferable. Just then, Collin's voice drifted to her ears with unexpected calm. "We need to visit Grandma, but there's no rush. You didn't sleep well last night, so finish breakfast and get some rest first. We'll go when you wake up." Linsey's expression shifted to pure bewilderment. "What? Why do we need to pay her a visit?" Collin heard her question, and her eyebrow arched slightly while a faint smile tugged at his lips. For once, his tone carried genuine gentleness and patience.

"Since you've married me, you should visit my grandmother, shouldn't you?" Those words hit her like a revelation. Linsey fell completely silent. Something suddenly crossed Collin's mind, and his expression turned ice-cold as he continued. "Besides Grandma, there are several others there. I'll introduce you to them before we leave. If they give you any trouble, don't let it bother you. I'll handle them." His words made Linsey blink in confusion, her drowsiness lifting slightly. Could Collin be referring to Alfredo and his new family? Curiosity sparked in Linsey's mind.

But she decided against prying further and simply nodded her agreement. "Got it." Dusk was already painting the sky when Linsey and Collin finally pulled up to the Riley family's mansion. Lɑτєѕτ cнαρτєrs n glovєl.o The main culprit behind their tardiness was, naturally, her extended sleep. It wasn't until Ivy's call jolted her awake that Linsey discovered Collin had actually scheduled their arrival for noon. Realizing this, Linsey turned to complain to Collin beside her. "Why didn't you tell me earlier that you'd set a specific time with Ivy?

I thought we could actually arrive whenever we wanted." Collin's expression remained perfectly composed as he replied with casual indifference, "It's better to arrive well-rested than to show up looking like the walking dead. Otherwise, they might think you've come to haunt them instead of pay a visit." A dramatic sigh escaped Linsey as she rolled her eyes in disbelief. More than once, she had fantasized about slipping Collin a poison just to make him hush.

When they neared the towering gates of the Riley family mansion, Collin raised his hand, signaling for the bodyguard to stop the wheelchair. Seeing him pause, Linsey stopped too. She glanced at him, confusion crossing her face, and asked, "Is there a problem?" Without hesitation, Collin answered, "Trade places with the bodyguard and push me instead. I don't want anyone thinking we're not close." . . .
