Marrying A Secret Zillionaire Happy Ever After novel Chapter 204

Chapter 204 Make Sure To

Look After Collin For Me

Linsey, already on edge, flinched. Heat rushed to her face, deepening the flush in her cheeks as her eyes darted anxiously

around.

Frustration knotted in her chest. She squeezed her eyes shut and bit down on the back of her hand, caught in a tug–of–war

with her own impulses.

What had she been thinking just now?

Had she really been that eager to kiss Collin?

Where was her self–control?

Collin’s face remained unreadable, but the slight furrow in his brow hinted at his displeasure.

His lips parted as he was ready to say he could ignore the call.

But Linsey pointed at his pocket, where the phone buzzed insistently. “Answer it. What if it’s important?”

He glanced at her flushed face, his throat tightening all over again.

The urge to kiss her still burned in his chest, but he shoved it down.

Now all that pent–up frustration had a new target–the person who had interrupted them.

Jaw tight, he pulled out his phone with a sullen face.

The caller was Kylee.

His expression darkened, frustration in his chest hardening into something heavier.

With a slow inhale, he answered, his voice edged with impatience. “What is it?”

He didn’t bother hiding his irritation.

A brief pause. Then Kylee’s voice floated through–light, unbothered. “Oh, nothing important.”

Linsey tensed. A flicker of something unreadable crossed her face before she turned to the window, gaze fixed on the

passing scenery.

Kylee’s soft, almost melodic tone filled the phone, thickening the silence in the backseat.

“It’s pretty late, and I noticed you and Linsey haven’t returned yet. I got a little worried, so I thought I’d check in. If you’re

in any trouble, let me know–I might be able to help.”

Linsey stayed silent, listening.

There was nothing overtly wrong with Kylee’s words, yet something about them unsettled her.

As Collin’s wife, it was her place to take care of him. She didn’t need Kylee, an outsider, reminding her of that.

Though unsettled, Linsey kept her tone polite. “Of course, I will.”

The moment Collin ended the call, the warmth from earlier vanished.

The air in the car felt heavier now, the shift in Linsey’s mood unmistakable.

Collin noticed, but understanding women had never been his strong suit. He mulled it over, searching for the right words,

but nothing came.

Kylee’s cryptic words lingered in Linsey’s mind, draining any desire to continue the conversation.

Silence stretched between them for the rest of the drive. After what felt like an eternity, they finally reached the Vista Villa.

Linsey stepped out, ready to help Collin, but someone else got there first. Kylee had hurried over, wasting no time inserting

herself between them.
