Marrying A Secret Zillionaire Happy Ever After novel Chapter 116

Chapter 116 Collin, Enough Already!

Linsey’s heart hammered in her chest, her voice quivering as she hesitated. “Does… does it really have to happen so quickly? I… I’m not ready yet.”

Collin’s eyebrows drew together in a slight frown, perplexity coloring his tone. “What exactly do you think you need to prepare for?”

Her cheeks flared up, the red blooming vividly against her pale complexion.

Linsey averted her gaze, her fingers nervously playing with the hem of her pajama top as she whispered, “I’m still a virgin. Naturally, I need a moment to… to gather myself.”

Collin paused, his expression unreadable for a fleeting moment. As he observed her timid and flustered state, realization dawned on him about the misunderstanding.

He struggled to maintain his composure, yet a chuckle escaped him, breaking through his usually reserved demeanor and filling the room with warmth.

Linsey, sinking further into her flustered state, wished fervently she could just vanish.

Why did she always manage to make a fool of herself whenever Collin was around?

Shame flashed across her face, but it didn’t take long for irritation to take over. With an annoyed stomp, she closed the distance, clamped her hand over his mouth, and glared. “Collin, enough already!”

His lips curled into a rare, playful smirk, his eyes twinkling with uncharacteristic boldness. “So, this was on your mind the whole time, huh? I had no idea you wanted me like that,” he murmured, his warm breath brushing against her neck,

Her cheeks flamed even hotter at his words, her heart pounding in her chest. Embarrassment surged through her, making
