Marrying A Secret Zillionaire Happy Ever After

Chapter 417 What Are You Guys Talking About

Leaving the nursing home, Collin remained preoccupied, his mind tangled in the dilemma of how Linsey would react once he finally told her the truth.

He was so lost in thought that he barely noticed night had already fallen-or that Dustin had followed him all the way back to Vista Villa.

It wasn't until they stepped out of the car that Dustin's cheerful voice snapped him

out of his reverie. "Perfect timing! Dinner's about to be served. It's been ages since I had your chef's cooking-I've really missed it."

Collin pressed his lips into a thin line, finally acknowledging Dustin with a look of mild irritation. "Why are you

still here?"

Completely unfazed, Dustin strolled inside like he owned the place. "For dinner, obviously. And I haven't seen

Linsey in a while-perfect excuse to catch up."

Collin's expression darkened further. His voice dropped to a low, irritated murmur. "Linsey and I were supposed to have a private evening. Why are you barging in?"

Dustin crossed his arms, feigning offense. "Wow, that's gratitude for you. If I'd known you'd be this unappreciative, I would've demanded a bigger cut of CR Corporation's profits when I agreed to help manage it."

Before Collin could fire back, Linsey stepped outside, her voice warm and cheerful. "What are you guys talking

about?"

Dustin stiffened, his eyes widening in shock. He stared at Linsey as she approached, his heartbeat kicking up a

notch.

Wait-when did she get back?

More importantly, what exactly had he just blurted out?

Did he just say CR Corporation? Did Linsey hear that?noveldrama

Oh no. Collin hadn't confessed yet, and he had just let it slip.

Dustin went rigid, his stomach sinking. He was dead.

He had just blurted out something huge-something Collin had kept under wraps. And now definitely going to kill him.

Beside him, Collin stood frozen. His mind, usually sharp and calculated, had completely short-circuited.

Linsey knew. She was aware that he was the founder of CR Corporation.

What now? Would she forgive him for hiding it?

Chapter 417 What Are You Guys Talking About

Collin didn't dare make excuses-especially since he had been the one to test Linsey's feelings in the first place.

She had told him before-she hated being lied to. She despised being kept in the dark.

His breath grew uneven, his usual composure slipping

He parted his lips, ready to confess everything.

But before he could get a word out, both he and Dustin froze as Linsey removed the earbuds from her ears.

She glanced between them, her smile warm. "You seemed to be having a nice chat. What were you talking

about?"

Dustin stiffened, his face draining of color.

For a split second, he thought he was done for.

Linsey had been wearing earbuds the entire time-she hadn't heard a single word about CR Corporation.

Why was he even stressing over someone else's marriage?

Collin, who had been bracing for impact, finally let out a slow breath, the weight

on his chest easing. Stepping closer, he laced his fingers with Linsey's, his voice warm. "You're home early. Everything okay?"

Linsey blinked up at him, her tone light. "Yeah, I finished up on time, so I just headed back."

Her gaze drifted past him to Dustin, who still looked like he had barely survived a heart attack. "Did you two go somewhere today?"

Since she wasn't pressing about their earlier conversation, Dustin wasn't about to bring it up. Slapping on a grin, he shrugged. "I heard Ivy was back, so I made Collin take me to the nursing home to see her."
