Marrying A Secret Zillionaire Happy Ever After novel Chapter 12

Chapter 12 Why Doesn’t

She Fall For Me Instead

Collin gave Dustin a blank look. “What did Linsey say?”

Dustin’s grin widened, his eyes gleaming with mischief as he echoed Linsey’s earlier words. “She actually thought I was

into her and gave me a heads–up that she’s already married and they’re deeply in love with each other.”

His excitement escalated. “Did you catch that, Collin? Straight from Linsey’s mouth. In her view, you’re a cripple, right? Yet, she didn’t think twice about marrying you right outside that church. Odd, isn’t it? And now, barely a week into your

marriage, and you’re already head over heels? Seriously?”

After pausing for a moment, he went on, “Collin, we’ve been tight for more than two decades, and you’ve kept this massive news from me? Out with it. Is what Linsey claimed true? You mean to tell me you’ve fallen for her this quickly?”

Dustin’s incessant chatter drew a scowl from Collin. “Fall

in love with her? Ridiculous. Cut it out.”

Yet, Dustin only laughed harder. “Yeah, yeah, it’s just Linsey talking. Someone as ruthless as you falling quickly for someone? Unlikely. But Linsey? Just a few days as your wife and she’s already this smitten with you?”

He furrowed his brow, genuinely confused. “Honestly, compared to you–a wealthy young man with a disability–here I am, single, fairly good–looking, and not to mention, wealthy. Why doesn’t she fall for me instead? How can she overlook my appeal? It doesn’t make any sense.”

“Are you finished?” Collin asked, his brow furrowed in impatience. “I have no interest whatsoever in matters concerning her. If you continue to delay and hinder our work, I won’t be forgiving.”

His stare pierced through the air with a dangerous sharpness.

Aware of Collin’s stern, business–focused demeanor, Dustin had no option but to quell his curiosity and ignite the engine.

A heavy silence soon enveloped the car.

Collin reclined in the back seat, his gaze drifting out the window, lost in thought.

He had declared his indifference to anything involving Linsey.

Yet, inexplicably, her words haunted his thoughts.

Linsey was convinced that he was a cripple, yet still accepted him as her husband, unswayed by Dustin’s attempts to charm her.

Could it be that she truly overlooked Dustin’s appeal?

As he mulled over this, a rare smile broke across Collin’s usually stoic face, softening his entire expression.
