Marrying A Secret Zillionaire: Happy Ever After Novel

Chapter 911: Haven forced a tight smile, mortification washing over her at Collin's blunt rejection. Still, Gorman pressed the uncomfortable topic. Haven knew better than anyone that Collin had directly told her to abandon hope from the start. It was her stubborn persistence, bolstered by Ivy's support, that kept her hovering in Collin's orbit, creating misunderstandings. Now, with Collin publicly severing even this illusion, humiliation burned through her. Despite the crushing embarrassment, she squared her shoulders, determined to maintain the dignified poise expected of a Walton.

"I'm sorry, Collin. It's my fault. I'm responsible for the misunderstanding," Haven said nervously. "Mr. Green and Ms. Brooks need to continue trying on their wedding attire. Perhaps we should give them some space." As Haven finished speaking, she caught sight of a figure out of the corner of her eye heading upstairs. The person was dressed like a staff member of the bridal shop, wearing a mask and serving refreshments to the guests. Haven, however, instantly recognized the person despite the disguise. Kylee had finally shown up.

Haven immediately lost interest in getting Collin to distance himself from Linsey. Instead, she waited in anticipation for Kylee's action, her breath held in expectation of Kylee's knife piercing Linsey's skin. Collin, on the other hand, stared at Linsey as though nothing else mattered. He didn't seem to have heard Haven as he repeated his question. "Are you willingly marrying Gorman, Linsey?" That was the only thing that mattered to him at that moment. He wanted to hear her say whether or not she was marrying Gorman of her free will. If she was doing this willingly, he would leave her be.

But if she showed even the slightest hesitation, he would not hesitate to take her from Gorman. Lㆀ$† Ç₳þŧëяŞ |η ĠałnøνεlŞ.cøm Gorman smirked and pulled Linsey close to him. "Of course, Linsey is marrying me. Of her own free will." Then, Gorman glanced meaningfully at the ring on Collin's left finger and continued, "Considering your present status, I don't think you have any right to meddle in our private affairs.

A man with a wedding ring on his finger, like you, should be mindful of the kind of things he involves himself in." There was a look of surprise and hurt on Linsey's face, which she suppressed almost immediately as it appeared. She knew that Collin wouldn't wear a ring on such an important finger unless it meant something. When Linsey and Collin had been married, they had never worn wedding rings. But now, time had passed, and it seemed Collin had a ring on for someone really significant in his life. What Collin said next shocked Linsey even more.

"Four years ago, I bought a pair of wedding rings for myself and Linsey. This is the men's ring from that pair," he said, staring at his finger. Linsey's eyes widened in disbelief, her heart pounding in her chest as if it wanted to leap out. "To me, Linsey has always been my wife," Collin continued. . . .
