Marrying A Secret Zillionaire: Happy Ever After Novel

Chapter 676: Gorman walked over slowly, his steps calm but full of weight. He stopped just short of Jeffery and looked at him with narrowed eyes. "So, Mr. Lawson… I assume you heard everything?"

Jeffery's lips parted slightly, but no words came out. His eyes flicked toward Linsey, thoughts spinning wildly in his head.

Was Linsey pregnant with Gorman's child?

But almost immediately, he pushed the suspicion aside. That wasn't like her. Linsey would never do something like that. Then the truth hit him-if it wasn't Gorman's, then it had to be Collin's.

Inside the room, the doctors glanced at one another, clearly sensing something was off.

Gorman gave them a dismissive nod. "You can leave now."

Linsey turned toward the doctors, her voice composed but gentle. "Thank you for everything."

Once the doctors exited, Danny politely ushered Jeffery inside. The door clicked shut behind him, sealing the tension in the room like a lid on boiling water.

Jeffery gave a wry smile as he turned to look at Linsey. "So, what's this, Linsey? You and your boyfriend planning to interrogate me now?"

Just moments earlier, Gorman had been simmering with irritation-but the moment Jeffery called him Linsey's boyfriend, a quiet joy flickered through his expression. Suddenly, Jeffery didn't seem so annoying after all.

Linsey, however, didn't share the sentiment. She frowned. "What boyfriend? Stop talking nonsense. Gorman is just a friend."

Gorman's smile faltered slightly, but only for a moment. He quickly gathered himself and gestured with a graceful hand. "Mr. Lawson, don't just stand there. Please, have a seat."

He gave a subtle nod to Danny, who quickly brought over a chair for Jeffery.

Jeffery narrowed his eyes slightly, confused by Gorman's sudden shift in tone.

???????????????????? ???????????????? ???????????????? ???????????????????????? - ????????????????????????: ????????????ⲛ????ⱱ????????????﹒????????????

But he wasn't naive-he caught on fast.

Ah, so that was it. Gorman liked being mistaken for her man. How childish.

Still, Jeffery took the seat with ease and said casually, "Linsey, you're pregnant… And you're still clashing with your husband?"

Linsey gave him a flat look. "When did I argue with him?"

Jeffery raised an eyebrow. "Weren't you two going at it yesterday? At my place, you both looked ready to explode. Was it all just because he kept his identity from you?"

As he rambled on carelessly, he didn't notice how Linsey's face was growing colder with every word.

"Jeffery, if you have nothing useful to say, then don't speak. This is my life. I don't recall giving you permission to meddle in it." Her tone sharpened like a blade.

Jeffery blinked, stunned by the direct hit. He realized a beat too late that his words had crossed a line. "I didn't mean it like that. I just thought… Well, Collin doesn't even know about the baby yet, does he? Shouldn't having a child be enough for a couple to work things out?"

Linsey clenched her fists. For a moment, she seriously considered slapping him.
