Marrying A Secret Zillionaire Happy Ever After novel Chapter 171

Chapter 171 I Will Never Agree To A Divorce

Linsey was taken aback by the sudden shift in Collin’s demeanor. His expression hardened, and he gripped her hand tightly, his voice low and intense. “I will never agree to a divorce,” he declared, his eyes burning with a fierce possessiveness.

Linsey winced, a sharp pain shooting through her wrist. “Collin, you’re hurting me!”

Collin instantly released her hand, his expression filled with concern. “Shit, Linsey, I’m so sorry! Are you okay?”

He gently examined her wrist, his eyes widening as he saw the angry red marks his grip had left. A wave of regret washed

over him.

“I’m so sorry,” he repeated, his voice laced with remorse. “I overreacted.”

Seeing the lingering seriousness in Collin’s eyes, Linsey felt a pang of sympathy.

Trying to lighten the mood, she gave him a playful smile. “Wow, Collin,” she teased. “Why so serious? It was just a joke!”

The tension in Collin’s face finally eased a bit. “God, Linsey, I’m so glad it was just a joke…”

He looked up at her, his eyes pleading. “But… can you promise me something?” he asked, his voice barely above a whisper. “Please, never say the word ‘divorce‘ again. I… I might actually believe you.”

Linsey saw a flicker of vulnerability, of fear even, in his eyes, and her heart skipped a beat.

His expression was so… endearing, so unfairly charming.

It struck her that he hadn’t shown this vulnerable side when dealing with Dustin earlier. With Dustin, he had been all

sharp edges and cool composure.

“Alright, alright,” she said with a resigned smile. “I won’t bring it up again.”

Internally, she couldn’t help but think, “He can really be like a child sometimes. Maybe it’s because of all those years of neglect he endured in his cold and distant family.”

The thought made her heart ache for him, and she felt a surge of sympathy. She wanted to shower him with love and

kindness.

Within a short time, the entire situation with the orphanage was resolved smoothly,

Ella, the children, and the teachers all moved into the new facility Dustin had arranged. The generous compensation he provided was safely deposited into the orphanage’s account.

With the matter settled and peace restored, Linsey finally felt at ease. She returned to work, ready to resume her normal

routine.

However, as she stepped back into the company building, she couldn’t help but notice the curious glances from her colleagues.

Pandora halted before Linsey, a hesitant expression on her face. She opened and closed her mouth several times, seemingly struggling to find the right words.

“If you don’t have anything to say, I’ll be going upstairs,” Linsey stated flatly.
