Chapter 68 Why Are You So

Nervous

When she heard Collin’s voice, Linsey spun around, startled. “Collin, why are you out here?”

Even in his wheelchair, his presence commanded attention as he approached her.

A faint trace of amusement flickered in Collin’s eyes at her reaction.

He raised an eyebrow and spoke in an unhurried tone. “You told me to take better care of my health. I figured you had a point, so I decided to come out for breakfast. Why? Do you have a problem with that?”

Linsey felt the heat rise to her cheeks again as memories of what had happened in the study rushed back.

Noticing her hesitation, the butler smiled and spoke up first. He looked at Collin apologetically and said, “Mr. Riley, I misspoke earlier. I hope you won’t hold it against me.”

Collin wasn’t particularly concerned about the butler’s words. What unsettled him was the thought of Linsey hearing too much about his past. He had no intention of letting that happen, so he cut the conversation short.

“It’s fine,” he said coolly.

The moment Linsey met Collin’s gaze, her mind flashed back to what had happened earlier in the study. She pressed her lips together and quickly said, “I’ll go make something for you to eat.”

Since he had actually listened to her advice and come out for breakfast, she felt obligated to keep her word and cook for

him.

But as soon as she turned to leave, Collin caught her wrist firmly.

“Let the staff handle breakfast,” he said.

She froze for a second before replying, “But I promised to make it for you. It won’t take long.”

Before she could say anything more, he pulled her forward with unexpected force, and the next thing she knew, she was sitting on his lap.

His presence overwhelmed her senses, his warmth and strength pulling her in. Startled, she instinctively tried to stand.

But Collin’s grip on her waist tightened, keeping her locked in place.

The realization that the butler was still in the room made a fresh wave of embarrassment crash over her. She pressed her palms against Collin’s chest, pushing lightly in an attempt to free herself.

Sitting on his lap in broad daylight—what would people think?

Not that it would be any more acceptable at night.

Her face burned hotter at the thought. Were they even close enough for this?
