Marrying A Secret Zillionaire Happy Ever After novel Chapter 290

Chapter 290 What Did You

Wish For

Caught off guard, Linsey exclaimed in disbelief, “What? You didn’t send this? And here I was, thinking it was your

charming way of surprising me.”

Collin’s expression twisted into a puzzled frown. “Absolutely not. I haven’t arranged anything of the sort.”

Intrigued, Linsey stepped closer to Collin, the bouquet of roses cradled gently in her arms. Her brow furrowed in confusion as she inspected the flowers.

“Then who could be behind this thoughtful gesture?” she murmured to herself.

She delicately sifted through the soft petals, hoping for a hint, yet no card was tucked within to shed light on the mystery.

Speculating with a light chuckle, Linsey suggested, “Could be from another friend.”

Collin, rubbing his chin thoughtfully, offered another possibility. “It might be Dustin’s doing. He’s infamous for his

impromptu gifts and unannounced surprises.”

Linsey looked at Collin, her eyes twinkling with amusement. “And how do you feel about that? You make it sound like you

and Dustin have some sort of rivalry, rather than a friendship.”

With a light–hearted shrug, Collin replied, his voice tinged with humor, “Oh, I was just joking. Dustin and I are thick as

thieves.”

“Alright then,” Linsey said, her smile warming as she embraced the unexpected gift. “If these roses are indeed from Dustin, we should graciously accept and appreciate them.”

“Sure, as long as they’re to your liking,” Collin offered, his tone dripping with congeniality.

Laughing heartily, the two shuffled out of the dimly lit private room of the bar, their easy chatter blending seamlessly with

the lively clinks and murmurs of the surrounding patrons.

This lighthearted departure caught Gorman’s eye from a shadowy corner where he was lurking. He knit his brows in

confusion, his mind racing.

How peculiar it was that Linsey had accepted roses from another man, yet Collin, seemingly her devoted husband, showed

no sign of jealousy.

Could it be that their marriage had lacked the passion one would have expected?

As he mulled over this anomaly, a mocking sneer slowly spread across Gorman’s face.

Just earlier, Linsey’s tender declarations had convinced him of their deep, unshakeable connection. Now, it appeared

nothing more than a facade.

And with a rival as formidable as Gorman in the fray, Collin was too cowardly to confront the threat openly.

If this was indeed the case, Gorman felt a surge of triumph, sensing victory within his grasp.

Though the plot had deviated from his expectations, Gorman remained unfazed. Any development that tilted the scales in

his favor was a welcome one.

All the while, Linsey hadn’t given Gorman a single thought.

After departing from the bar, she ambled along the shore, pushing Collin’s wheelchair.

The brisk, nocturnal sea breeze swept over them, its refreshing touch instilling a profound sense of relaxation.

Amidst the serene night, an unusual tranquility enveloped them both.
