Marrying A Secret Zillionaire: Happy Ever After Novel

Chapter 489: Linsey felt her heart flutter at his words.

Linsey was taken aback by Collin's unexpectedly sweet remarks, causing her to blush deeply.

"Why are you being so sweet?" After a moment of silence, she finally found her voice to whisper back.

As he carried her towards the clinic, Collin chuckled, clearly amused by her flustered state. He then said in a measured tone, "Sweetheart, I know you think tonight's Lawson family gala is a good chance for me to network with business magnates, but honestly, your well-being is my priority. I must be sure you're alright before I can think of mingling. If you insist on sending me off, trust me, I won't be able to focus on anything else."

Linsey's heart skipped a beat as she listened to his sincere declaration.

Collin had a knack for saying just the right thing to lift her spirits.

Yet, Linsey recognized the authenticity in his words.

A smile mixed with a bit of sadness crossed Linsey's face.

Their discussion took on an unexpected gravity over what seemed a minor issue.

With a depth of sincerity in his voice, Collin explained, "Who would even notice? Here in Grester, I'm hardly the center of attention. I could wear the same suit repeatedly without anyone batting an eye."

Contrary to his view, Linsey expressed disbelief, shaking her head. "That's not true! You stand out too much. As soon as you enter a room, all eyes are on you."

Now that Collin was no longer feigning disability, his striking appearance made him unavoidably conspicuous.

Linsey's observation was spot on.

Indeed, when Collin made a brief appearance at the Lawson family's gala earlier, he had made a memorable impact on everyone present. Unknown to them, some attendees were still speculating about the identity of the enigmatic man who had arrived with Jeffery.

After a moment's reflection, Collin grinned. "In that case, I might need the skilled designer Linsey to craft more remarkable tuxedos for me going forward."

Without any hesitation, Linsey responded, "Absolutely! Designing for you is something I cherish."

As they conversed, Collin smoothly carried Linsey into the clinic. "Doctor, could you please examine my wife's ankle? She seems to have twisted it earlier," Collin said as soon as they entered
