Marrying A Secret Zillionaire: Happy Ever After Novel

Chapter 468: Linsey met his gaze, her expression earnest. "Please, don't misunderstand my relationship with Gorman. There's truly nothing between us. The only reason we're connected is because I saved him when we were overseas."

Collin ran his fingers through her hair, pushing a strand away from her face, and his playful tone disappeared.

"I believe you," he said, his voice steady. "But it's hard for me to buy that Gorman would just walk away. He seems obsessed with you."

Linsey frowned slightly. "I overheard your assistant saying Gorman has already bought a plane ticket and is packing up. It seems like he's made up his mind to leave, right?" She paused, a thought surfacing. "That day at the hospital, he thought I poisoned him. Now that the truth is out, maybe he's finally come to his senses. So, don't worry. He won't be interfering in our lives anymore."

Collin remained as possessive as ever. Unless she reassured him properly, he wouldn't be at ease. Still, something didn't sit right with him. His brows furrowed. "If he knows you never meant to hurt him, why would he just give up on you?" he blurted out.

Linsey's response was calm. "We talked before. Maybe he finally listened. He's the heir to the Green family. He's been surrounded by women his whole life. Why would he waste his time holding on to me?"

Collin didn't want to admit it, but after crossing paths with Gorman so many times, he could tell-the man was serious about Linsey. And to Collin, there was no woman in the world who could compare to her. The thought of Gorman returning, trying to compete for her, gnawed at him.

A new idea took root. Revealing his identity as the founder of CR Corporation had never seemed necessary before. But now? The more he thought about it, the more convinced he became. If Gorman knew the truth, maybe he would back off for good.

Their conversation didn't last much longer. Linsey needed to get to work on time. As always, Collin walked her to the villa's entrance, watching until she got into the car and drove off. Only then did he turn back, finally at ease.

At the office, a subordinate handed Linsey a stack of design drafts. "These need your approval," the designer said. "If everything checks out, we can move forward with production."

Linsey gave a small nod. "Alright, I'll review them and get back to you."

Once she was alone, she placed the drafts to the side, deciding to review them later. But as she adjusted the stack, a single sheet caught her attention. Slipping it out, she immediately recognized it-the wedding dress design Gorman had commissioned from her. For a moment, she just stared at it, stunned.

She had nearly forgotten about it. Linsey hesitated, the memory of Gorman's generous payment lingering in her mind. Though she had no personal reason to reach out, professionalism dictated otherwise. After a brief pause, she picked up her phone and dialed his number.

The call connected after a few seconds, but no voice greeted her-only silence. Gorman didn't say a word.

Linsey pressed her lips together, then decided to break the silence. "Gorman, about the wedding dress design you requested-do you still want to move forward with it?" The quiet stretched on.

She frowned slightly, waiting, then glanced at her screen to check if the call had dropped. "Gorman, are you there?"

Just as she began to think he wasn't going to answer, his voice finally came through. "How far along are you?" It was low, rough-tinged with exhaustion.
