Marrying A Secret Zillionaire Happy Ever After

Chapter 290 What Did You

Wish For

Caught off guard, Linsey exclaimed in disbelief, "What? You didn't send this? And

here I was, thinking it was your

charming way of surprising me."

Collin's expression twisted into a puzzled frown. "Absolutely not. I haven't arranged anything of the sort."

Intrigued, Linsey stepped closer to Collin, the bouquet of roses cradled gently in her arms. Her brow furrowed in confusion as she inspected the flowers.

"Then who could be behind this thoughtful gesture?" she murmured to herself.

She delicately sifted through the soft petals, hoping for a hint, yet no card was tucked within to shed light on the mystery.

Speculating with a light chuckle, Linsey suggested, "Could be from another friend."

Collin, rubbing his chin thoughtfully, offered another possibility. "It might be Dustin's doing. He's infamous for his

impromptu gifts and unannounced surprises."

Linsey looked at Collin, her eyes twinkling with amusement. "And how do you feel about that? You make it sound like you

and Dustin have some sort of rivalry, rather than a friendship."

With a light-hearted shrug, Collin replied, his voice tinged with humor, "Oh, I was just joking. Dustin and I are thick as

thieves."

"Alright then," Linsey said, her smile warming as she embraced the unexpected gift. "If these roses are indeed from Dustin, we should graciously accept and appreciate them."

"Sure, as long as they're to your liking," Collin offered, his tone dripping with congeniality.

Laughing heartily, the two shuffled out of the dimly lit private room of the bar, their easy chatter blending seamlessly with

the lively clinks and murmurs of the surrounding patrons.

This lighthearted departure caught Gorman's eye from a shadowy corner where he was lurking. He knit his brows in

confusion, his mind racing.

How peculiar it was that Linsey had accepted roses from another man, yet Collin, seemingly her devoted husband, showed

no sign of jealousy.

Could it be that their marriage had lacked the passion one would have expected?

As he mulled over this anomaly, a mocking sneer slowly spread across Gorman's face.

Just earlier, Linsey's tender declarations had convinced him of their deep, unshakeable connection. Now, it appeared

nothing more than a facade.

Perhaps Collin, conceding to his own inadequacies, had come to accept that he didn't measure up to someone like Linsey?

And with a rival as formidable as Gorman in the fray, Collin was too cowardly to confront the threat openly.

If this was indeed the case, Gorman felt a surge of triumph, sensing victory within his grasp.

His initial plan had been to drive a wedge between Linsey and Collin, capitalizing on the fallout.

Though the plot had deviated from his expectations, Gorman remained unfazed. Any development that tilted the scales in

his favor was a welcome one.

All the while, Linsey hadn't given Gorman a single thought.

After departing from the bar, she ambled along the shore, pushing Collin's wheelchair.

The brisk, nocturnal sea breeze swept over them, its refreshing touch instilling a profound sense of relaxation.

Amidst the serene night, an unusual tranquility enveloped them both.

Out of the blue, Collin's voice broke the silence with a curious tone. "So, what did you wish for when you blew out the

candles earlier?"

Linsey quirked an eyebrow and offered a secretive smile. "That's a secret! If I spill it, my wish won't come true."

"Is that so? What a pity," Collin responded earnestly. "My wish involved you. I bet you're dying to know."

This statement sparked Linsey's curiosity, prompting her to probe, "What did you wish for?"noveldrama

Collin arched an eyebrow mischievously. "Are you sure you want to know? Lean in closer, and I'll whisper it."

Drawn by his invitation, Linsey leaned toward him, only to be greeted by Collin's soft chuckle next to her ear as he echoed

her earlier words.

"It's a secret. After all, you just mentioned that revealing a wish will prevent it from coming true."

Surprise flickered across Linsey's face as she caught the playful smirk playing on Collin's lips, realizing he had merely been

messing with her.
