Marrying A Secret Zillionaire: Happy Ever After Novel

Chapter 614: Since Linsey had already made her stance clear, Collin had no choice but to agree. "Alright, I'll do as you say. I'll set everything up in advance so we can head straight to the hospital when the time comes."

"Alright." Linsey felt a wave of relief wash over her. She lifted her head and planted a soft kiss on Collin's lips. "You're the best, my love."

Collin savored the sweetness lingering on her lips, his gaze darkening with intensity. Leaning closer, he whispered in her ear, "I told you I'd collect what you owe me tonight. You haven't forgotten, have you?"

Linsey's heart skipped a beat. Of course, she knew exactly what he meant. It had been a while since they had shared any true intimacy. But the real problem? She was pregnant. And for the first three months, intimacy was completely off-limits. Yet, she still had to keep that a secret.

Forcing a troubled look, she hesitated before murmuring, "But my ankle and hand still hurt a little."

Collin immediately shifted his focus. "Are they still bothering you today?"

Avoiding his eyes, Linsey nodded slightly. "Yeah… Just a bit."

Whatever desire Collin had moments ago faded instantly. Without another word, he took her hand gently. "I'll put some ointment on them when we get home."

That night, after they freshened up and settled into bed, Collin never raised the matter of Linsey "repaying her debt" again.

Linsey quietly exhaled in relief. Keeping a secret like this was nerve-wracking, and she could hardly wait for the company gala to finally arrive.

As the night deepened, most of Grester had long since drifted into slumber. But some were still restless.

"Mr. Green, your injuries haven't fully healed. The doctor said you shouldn't be drinking…" Danny watched Gorman with concern as he relentlessly poured himself another glass, showing no regard for the warning.

Seeing that his words fell on deaf ears, Danny hesitated momentarily before finally reaching out to take the bottle away.

But the moment he moved, Gorman shot him a cold, dangerous glare. "Back off. Since when did you start giving me orders?"

Danny flinched but stood his ground. Gorman's recklessness was getting worse. Due to the poison, Gorman's shoulder injury had only deteriorated further. Even so, he insisted on leaving Grester, gathering his men and making preparations for days. Yet when the time came to leave, he suddenly claimed he wasn't feeling well and postponed it.

Days passed. Then weeks. And still, they hadn't left.

It was obvious to everyone-Gorman was stalling. No matter what he said, it was clear he hadn't let go of Linsey. Danny had even caught him watching the live stream of Carol's birthday party just days ago.
