Marrying A Secret Zillionaire Happy Ever After novel Chapter 38

Chapter 38 Undress You

The next moment, Jewell quietly raised the partition inside the car.

Linsey hesitated, her gaze flicking to Collin, confusion knitting her brows. “Did something happen last night?” Her voice

barely rose above a whisper.

She bit her lip, her tone turning more uncertain. “You seemed… off this morning. Did I do something wrong? I swear, I don’t remember anything.”

Collin’s jaw tightened, his expression shadowed by something sharp and unreadable. “You don’t remember trying to undress me?” His voice was low, edged with mockery.

The sarcasm stung. Linsey blinked, stunned, pointing to herself in disbelief.

“Me?” Her voice cracked. “Undress you?” She shook her head furiously, as if trying to physically erase the accusation. “No.

No way. I–I’d never do something like that.”

As soon as the words left her mouth, Linsey saw Collin’s expression darken, shadows pooling in his eyes.

She hesitated, fingers tugging at the hem of her sleeve. “I mean it. I don’t remember anything,” she murmured, doubt

creeping into her voice. “Someone once told me I’m not great with alcohol, so maybe… maybe I lost control last night.”

Collin’s head snapped toward her, his eyes narrowing with a sharp, dangerous glint. “Really? So getting drunk and acting

out is something you’ve done before?”

Linsey faltered, realizing she might’ve crossed a line. Her voice softened, almost apologetic. “I used to drink with my

roommates sometimes, but after one bad night, they never let me near alcohol again.”

She forced a weak laugh, though it barely scratched the tension. “But I don’t think I ever undressed them.”

Collin’s gaze didn’t waver, his silence pressing down on her like a weight.

She didn’t mention her ex–boyfriend, though the history between them stretched over years.

They had likely shared more than just drinks–those reckless, restless years had left room for moments far more intimate.

Collin knew those thoughts were reasonable–maybe even inevitable. But the image of Linsey with someone else clawed at

him, jealousy tightening in his chest like a vice.

Beside him, Linsey sensed the shift, tension radiating from him like heat off asphalt.
