Marrying A Secret Zillionaire Happy Ever After novel Chapter 616

Chapter 616 He Seems

Awfully Concerned Abou…

Jeffery fell silent for a moment after Gorman’s words sank in. He realized how unfair he had been–judging Linsey so quickly, without considering the depth of her hurt.

She had truly loved Collin. And now, after everything, she had just learned he had hidden something so significant. Of course she was shattered.

“I’m sorry. What Collin did was wrong. You don’t owe him forgiveness right now,” Jeffery said, his voice calm and genuine.

Linsey gave a small nod. “That’s why I’m asking you to keep this to yourself. Please don’t tell him I’m pregnant. I don’t want this to affect my decision to go through with the divorce.”

Jeffery blinked in surprise. “You’re really getting a divorce?”

Linsey shot him a look. “Why? You have a problem with that?”

He quickly straightened, waving his hand lightly. “No, not at all. Just caught me off guard. That’s all.”

“What’s so surprising? When a marriage stops feeling like one, ending it is the logical step.” She lowered her eyes, her expression unreadable.

Jeffery watched her quietly, sensing she had already made up her mind long before now. “You’re right. If that’s what you’ve decided, then so be it. Divorce isn’t the end of the world. And don’t worry–I won’t say a word about the pregnancy.”

He paused, his tone softening. “After all, you just did me a huge favor.”

At this point, Jeffery felt it wasn’t his place to tell Linsey that he had once believed Collin genuinely loved her.

In fact, the more he thought about it now, the more it seemed that the man he once admired might have just been a well–crafted illusion–one put on by someone who turned out to be a complete jerk.

Linsey turned toward him, brows slightly raised. “And what favor would that be?”

Jeffery smirked faintly. “Your memory’s terrible. Didn’t you help me convince Carol this morning?”

He didn’t say more–especially with Gorman in the room–but Linsey caught on immediately.

She nodded lightly. “Oh, that? You paid me for it. We’re even now. Just keep my secret.”

Jeffery didn’t linger after that. He could tell–without Gorman needing to say a word–that the man wasn’t thrilled about him hanging around any longer.

At the door, Jeffery looked back and, in a rare moment of sincerity, said, “Take care of yourself, Linsey. You’ve got more than just yourself to think about now. Try not to stress.”

Chapter 616 He Seems Awfully Concerned About You

Linsey’s expression eased. “I know. Thank you.”

Once Jeffery had left, Gorman finally spoke, his voice unusually low. “You and Jeffery seem to be getting close

these days.”

Linsey gave him a puzzled look. “Do we?”

Gorman nodded, his expression unreadable. “He seems awfully concerned about you.”

She gave a small shrug, brushing it off. “Well, I did sort of save his life. I guess he’s just being polite.”

To her, it had just been a favor–playing her part to persuade Carol to agree to the bone marrow match, just a way to ease his family’s burden.
