Marrying A Secret Zillionaire: Happy Ever After Novel

Chapter 1439: As he spoke, his gaze shifted, catching a distant figure. His brow furrowed slightly. Why was Collin here? "What are you looking at, Mr. Green?" Dolores asked, noticing his distraction and turning to follow his line of sight. She saw only a closed elevator in the distance, with no one around. In that fleeting moment, Collin had vanished. Gorman exhaled quietly, relieved. His greatest concern was Linsey running into Collin, but since she had gone in the opposite direction to fetch the medicine, there was no chance of them crossing paths.

With that worry dismissed, Gorman let thoughts of Collin slip away. Gorman brushed off his thoughts and gave Dolores a casual smile. "Oh, nothing. Just looking around." "I see." Dolores accepted his answer without digging deeper. Still, a thought popped into her mind. Her eyes lit up with curiosity, and she leaned in, unable to resist her urge to pry. "Mr. Green, since Linsey isn't here right now, can I ask you something? But you must promise to be honest-or good luck will never follow you again!" Her words amused him, and he chuckled softly. "All right," he agreed.

Dolores locked eyes with him and asked straight out, "Do you really like Linsey?" A faint smile touched his lips, his voice calm yet certain. "Of course." "Would you dare to swear it?" Dolores pressed, unwilling to take his word so easily. Without hesitation, Gorman swore, "I swear I truly like Linsey. If there's even a trace of a lie in my words, may I never find fortune and die a bitter death." His firm oath finally put Dolores at ease. "Good. I'll feel relieved if Linsey is with you." gⱯlnσνs․com is where magic happens Gorman lowered his voice, a trace of regret slipping through.

"But I haven't done enough. Linsey still can't fully accept me." "Be patient. Linsey has a quiet heart-she needs time," Dolores comforted him, her tone warm. "Don't worry, I'll stand by you. If anything comes up between you two, just come to me." That was exactly what Gorman had hoped for. "Thank you, Ms. Davidson. If you ever need help yourself, don't hesitate to ask." "Deal!" she replied with a smile. As their lighthearted talk continued, Linsey returned with the medicine to tend to his wound. Sharp as ever, Dolores seized the chance to leave them alone.

"Linsey, I just remembered something I need to handle. You stay and take care of Gorman," she said. "Okay." Linsey nodded, though her brow furrowed with worry. "Is everything okay?" The question caught Dolores off guard, leaving her tongue-tied. Luckily, Gorman stepped in smoothly. "While you were gone, someone called Dolores about an urgent company matter." "Exactly!" Dolores quickly echoed. "I've been away in the hospital too long-there's a pile of things waiting for me at the office." . . .
