Marrying A Secret Zillionaire: Happy Ever After Novel

Chapter 453: "Linsey, come, try this. It's delicious. You're looking a little too thin. You need to eat more," Ivy urged, her voice full of concern.

Linsey obediently replied, "Okay, Ivy."

The more Ivy looked at her, the more pleased she seemed. "Don't worry, Linsey. As long as I'm around, you'll always have whatever you want to eat."

Linsey felt a little helpless, realizing that Ivy was convinced Collin wasn't taking care of her properly. Without skipping a beat, Ivy continued to pile food onto Linsey's plate. No matter how quickly Linsey ate, she couldn't keep up with Ivy's endless servings.

Eventually, Linsey found it hard to eat any more. Not wanting to outright refuse, she shot a desperate glance at Collin.

"Collin, help me out here!" Her eyes silently pleaded.

Collin immediately picked up on her unspoken request. He cleared his throat and said, "Grandma, please stop serving Linsey. She can manage on her own. You just got off the plane and haven't even eaten yet."

Linsey gave a subtle nod in agreement.

In just a few minutes, the food Ivy had loaded onto Linsey's plate had stacked up.

Ivy looked at Collin, then suddenly grinned, a knowing smile playing on her lips. Without hesitation, she started serving him instead. "Oh, are you jealous? Here, let me serve you too," she teased, her tone light and playful.

Collin paused, taken aback by his grandmother's assumption.

To avoid stirring up any trouble, he decided to play along.

Ivy added some vegetables to Collin's plate and said, "You haven't lost weight-looks like you've put on a bit. Maybe you should cut back on the meat."

Linsey couldn't help but laugh. "Ivy, really? Has he actually gained weight?"

She had been around Collin this whole time and hadn't noticed a thing.

"Yes! The moment I saw him, I thought he'd packed on a few pounds," Ivy said with firm certainty.

Collin sighed in defeat. "Grandma, look again. I've gotten stronger, not fatter. While you've been abroad these last few years, I've been hitting the gym regularly."

Linsey blinked, and suddenly, the image of Collin's bare physique flashed in her mind. His body was strong and lean, muscles defined and powerful. An unexpected warmth spread across Linsey's cheeks, and she quickly looked away, feeling a rush of embarrassment.

Luckily, Collin and Ivy were still wrapped up in their playful banter, oblivious to her reaction. Otherwise, Linsey would have been mortified!

Ivy paused, a thoughtful expression crossing her face before she sighed. "It's hard to believe it's been three years since I left. So much has changed since I was last in town. On the way here, I couldn't help but notice how different it all looks."

Linsey chuckled, trying to shake off the awkwardness. "Has it really changed that much? I hadn't even noticed."

Ivy took her time before replying, "Of course, things have changed. Not just Grester, but it looks like my grandson has changed quite a bit too."

"Mm?" At the mention of his name, Collin raised an eyebrow. "Grandma, are you saying I've gotten older or taller?"
