Marrying A Secret Zillionaire: Happy Ever After Novel

Chapter 272: Linsey's eyes widened in surprise, and she shot back, "Why didn't you say something so crucial earlier?"

She had been so worn out last night all because of him! This infuriating man.

Seeing Linsey so indignant, Collin paused and awkwardly rubbed his nose. "You seemed really into everything last night, so I held back from saying anything to keep the vibe," he said.

Linsey fixed Collin with a glare, her frustration reaching its peak. "Collin, you're unbelievable! How can you act like this?" Unbeknownst to Linsey, her anger had little effect on Collin.

Collin responded with a slight smirk and a raised eyebrow.

Irritated and embarrassed, Linsey raised her hand and slapped Collin's cheek sharply.

Realizing she was genuinely upset, Collin softened his approach. After a moment of reflection, he spoke gently. "Alright, I admit I was wrong. I'm here to make things right. Just let me know what you need."

Linsey huffed sharply. "Collin, you're really terrible."

Her anger flared, and she bit down hard on Collin's shoulder.

Collin winced, a soft groan escaping him.

Startled by his reaction, Linsey quickly pulled back, concerned she might have inflicted serious harm.

"Did I bite too hard? Is it bleeding?" She inspected Collin's shoulder, relieved to see only a faint bite mark. It was barely noticeable, especially compared to the more pronounced marks from the night before.

Collin's gaze darkened, and he lowered his voice. "The shoulder's fine, but there's another place that's hurting."

Linsey froze, suddenly catching his drift. Her face turned bright red as she looked down. She quickly turned away, biting her lip. Despite herself, she accused him, "Collin, how are you so… vigorous? It's like you're not even disabled."

Collin smiled and leaned in close, as if teasing her with a kiss. "Find out for yourself."

"Collin, you jerk-" Before Linsey could finish, Collin's kiss enveloped her, cutting off her protest.

They lingered in bed a bit longer.

Eventually, Linsey felt so drained that she couldn't even lift a finger. Only then did Collin release her.

"Collin! I'm starving! Let me go!"

After they prepared for the day and made their way downstairs, Linsey felt unsteady on her feet. It was a good thing she was on vacation.

In her current state, she doubted she could manage a full day at work. By the time they sat down to eat, it was already noon, thanks to their prolonged morning distraction.

During the meal, Collin noticed Linsey looked exhausted and gently offered, "Let me feed you."

Linsey shook her head. "No, I'm fine. I'm not that weak." She reached for the knife and fork.

But suddenly, her grip failed, and the utensils clattered to the floor.

The noise made Linsey flinch, her cheeks flushing with embarrassment. Collin gave her a soft smile and took her hand. "Linsey, it's okay to lean on me sometimes."

Her eyes shimmered with mixed emotions, but she remained silent.

Collin fetched fresh utensils and tenderly offered her a bite. "Come on, try some."
