Marrying A Secret Zillionaire Happy Ever After novel Chapter 67

Chapter 67 You Don’t Look

Too Well

Collin’s subordinate maintained a respectful stance as he said, “The person delivering the invitation also mentioned that your family expects you to attend your brother’s birthday party with your wife. They specifically said… your father and Fernanda are looking forward to meeting your new bride.”

“Is that so?” Collin let out a cold chuckle, his expression unreadable.

He wasn’t naïve enough to believe that the Riley family had suddenly developed an interest in his marriage out of genuine

concern.

“They must have caught wind of Haven running off and my abrupt wedding. Now, they’re just seizing the opportunity to have a good laugh at my expense.” With a flick of his wrist, he tossed the invitation onto his desk, his tone laced with indifference. “Since they’re so eager to meet my wife, then let them. Make the arrangements.”

“Understood,” the subordinate said, turning to leave.

But after a brief hesitation, he recalled the way Linsey had looked earlier–her red–rimmed eyes, the trace of distress on her face. He hesitated only for a second before speaking up. “It’s not my place to interfere in your personal matters, but… there’s something I feel I should mention.”

Collin lifted his gaze slightly, his expression sharp and unreadable. “Since when did you start hesitating to speak? If you have something to say, just say it.”

The subordinate straightened and replied at once, “When I came in earlier, I noticed Mrs. Riley seemed upset. Her eyes were red–like she’d been crying. You just got married. If there’s any misunderstanding between you two, it’s best to clear it up quickly before it turns into something worse.”

Collin’s eyes narrowed. So, his subordinate had the nerve to bring up what had just happened?

If this guy hadn’t barged in and interrupted them earlier, what misunderstanding could there possibly be?

“I see. You can go now,” Collin said, his tone carrying a hint of thinly veiled irritation.

The subordinate had served under Collin for years and had long learned to pick up on the subtle meanings behind his every word and movement. His pulse quickened slightly, and without another word, he swiftly exited the room.

Once the study fell silent again, Collin finally had a chance to gather his thoughts.

His mind drifted back to the moment when Linsey had accidentally bumped into his chin and cried out in pain.

It hadn’t hurt him in the slightest, but thinking about her delicate skin, he couldn’t help but wonder if she was still hurting.

He guessed that even if she was, she probably wouldn’t admit it.

After a brief pause, he pushed aside his work, turned his wheelchair, and decided to check on her himself.

0.0%

She had imagined her first kiss countless times before–romantic, dreamlike, something straight out of a fairy tale.

Never in a million years did she expect it to end up like this–awkward, incomplete, and completely ridiculous.
