Billionaire's Match (by Tangy Candy) novel Chapter 257

Chapter 257

“I held your birthday party at the Olson Group store today because it was on your wish list. I never expected to run into her there. If that made you uncomfortable, or if it makes you want to call off the engagement, I fully respect your decision,” Michael said firmly.

Lindsay had originally planned to argue her case with Michael. But hearing his measured, reasonable words-so clear and so detached-she could only swallow her resentment.

After all, there wasn’t much emotion between them to begin with.

And Michael wasn’t someone she was indispensable to.

At least he had made his stance clear. By the time they arrived, Lindsay had talked herself into acceptance.

“Michael, I really like you, and I’m willing to slowly build our relationship and walk this path together. But I hope you’ll keep your word and not betray my trust.”

Her posture was lofty, but in truth, she was hoping Michael would give her an out.

As expected, that approach worked on him. Hearing her words, his expression softened. “All right. I will. Happy birthday.”

“Thank you.”

A smile finally appeared in Lindsay’s eyes. She reached out for a hug. Michael returned it politely, barely touching her before they parted.

After watching Michael’s car drive away, the gentleness on Lindsay’s face vanished instantly.

She turned and strode quickly into the courtyard of her villa. The butler and maids immediately followed, taking her bag.

“Have the items I ordered arrived?”

“They have. As per your instructions, the delivery is waiting for your inspection.”

Lindsay let out a cold laugh and headed straight into the hall.

Inside, dazzling crystal chandeliers flooded the space with light, filling the villa with an air of extravagant luxury.

Winnie stood by the window, still dressed in her store uniform.

Beside her were two enormous entrance mascots, each nearly as tall as she was.

They were specially customized, limited-edition pieces with DIY color options-only a few hundred existed nationwide. The two alone cost over 200 thousand dollars.

Lindsay had placed the order on a whim at the store, specifically requesting that Winnie deliver them to her

home.

Olson Group policy required customers to personally inspect large, high-value orders before acceptance. Since Winnie was responsible for the delivery, she had no choice but to wait for Lindsay.

When Lindsay came in, Winnie immediately picked up the order form and walked over. “Miss Starr, your items have been delivered. Once you’ve checked them, please sign here.”

“Winnie, you’ve worked hard.” Lindsay finally took a proper look at her, a slow smile curling at her lips as she spoke unhurriedly.

Winnie was slightly surprised. Lindsay actually knew her name.

Had Michael told her everything?

Earlier, she had seen it from the window-Michael had driven Lindsay back.

It was still early. Winnie had assumed Veronica was deliberately making things difficult for her, forcing her to wait until the birthday party ended-that would be hours of waiting.

She hadn’t expected Lindsay to return so quickly and personally come to sign for the delivery.

Then again, if Michael wanted revenge, his fiancée helping him wasn’t out of the question. After all, it couldn’t possibly be that Lindsay was so eager for toys that she cut her birthday short just to come home and receive them, right?
