Marrying A Secret Zillionaire Happy Ever After novel Chapter 372

Chapter 372 Why Is The Police Station Calling

At Vista Villa, Linsey remained in a sour mood after throwing Collin out of the bedroom.

Even after she washed up and settled into bed, sleep refused to come.

A growing heaviness pressed against her chest, the unease inside her swelling with each passing second.

Eventually, she could no longer stand the suffocating tension and abruptly sat up.

Taking a deep breath, she shot an annoyed glance toward the door.

That fool. She had kicked him out, but couldn’t he at least try to come back?

She had told him she needed some space, and he actually took it at face value? Not even an attempt to coax

her?

The more she dwelled on it, the more irritated she became.

He had kept the truth from her for so long. Wasn’t she justified in being upset?

Linsey pursed her lips, her mood sinking again.

Yet, deep down, she understood. Collin hadn’t faked his disability out of malice. He had no other choice.

If he had had proper protection, he wouldn’t have needed to go to such extremes to ensure his safety.

Ultimately, the real blame lay with those who had forced him into that position.

That thought took the edge off her anger.

She got out of bed, deciding to go find him and bring him back.

If left alone, he would probably bury himself in work until morning again.

It would be better to call him back, have a brief conversation, and leave the rest for tomorrow.

With that plan in mind, Linsey opened the door and headed for the study.

But before she could take more than a few steps, Collin’s assistant who looked panicked nearly ran into her.

“Ah!” She took a step back, startled.

The assistant quickly stopped and apologized. “Mrs. Riley, I’m so sorry! Are you alright?”

Linsey frowned. “What’s the rush? What happened?”

She recognized him. He was Collin’s assistant.

His expression stiffened for a moment, hesitation flashing in his eyes. “N–no, nothing, Mrs. Riley. Just picking up some documents Mr. Riley asked for. I’ll be on my way soon.”

After a brief pause, he added, “Oh, also… Mr. Riley might be busy for the next couple of days. He won’t be coming home.”

Linsey’s brows drew together. Something felt off.

Collin had never left without a word before.
