Marrying A Secret Zillionaire Happy Ever After novel Chapter 245

Chapter 245 It Concerns Your Wife

Fortunately, the dining room was empty, sparing Linsey any curious stares. Though she was a tad shy, her hunger took over, and she opened her mouth to accept a bite.

After their meal, Collin, all smiles, extended an invitation. “Let me show you around the island. You’re on vacation; feel

free to stay as long as you wish.”

Linsey nodded, her worries melting away. “Okay.”

Relishing a rare moment of tranquility after months of nonstop work, she felt at peace.

Their leisurely island tour was abruptly interrupted when Collin’s phone rang.

He answered it, and the voice of his subordinate, thick with urgency, cut through. “Mr. Riley, we have a situation!”

The grave tone made Collin furrow his brows. He glanced at Linsey, who returned his look with a worried gaze. “What’s

going on?” he asked, voice low.

After a hesitant pause, the subordinate divulged. “It concerns your wife.”

Quickly, he added more details.

Linsey watched as Collin’s face cloud over.

“Why are you just telling me now?” Collin demanded, his voice sharp with irritation.

The subordinate’s frustration mirrored his own. “The focus was on the Gorman case, and we missed the developments with your wife. Mr. Riley, your guidance is needed.”

Taking a deep breath to quell his rising anger, Collin prepared to respond but paused upon seeing Linsey’s anxious

expression.

He pressed his lips together, pushing down his fury, and spoke quickly. “Understood. Let’s discuss when I return.”

After he hung up, Linsey, sensing the tension, asked with a frown, “What’s wrong?”

She had seldom seen Collin this somber.

He gazed at her, her face a picture of innocence, and hesitated to weigh her down with the heavy news.
