Chapter 47 Did You Overhear Anything Just...


    Collin dropped his hand, his expression calm as he spoke in a neutral tone. "I


    didn''t see youe downstairs. I thought maybe you''d slipped away, so I came to check."


    Linsey chuckled softly, the nervousness in her chest beginning to ease. "What? Why would I slip away? I just woke up."


    She hesitated for a moment, a flicker of unease crossing her face as she eyed him. "By the way, when did you get here? Did


    you overhear anything just now?"


    Her teeth gently sank into her bottom lip, the memory of her heated conversation with Felix still fresh.


    She didn''t want Collin to see that side of her.


    Collin stayed calm, his voice unruffled as he met her gaze. "Overhear what?"


    Linsey''s eyes flickered with a hint of relief, and she quicklyughed it off. "Oh, it''s just my rm clock. It''s acting up today


    -didn''t go off like it was supposed to."


    As if on cue, her phone rm red loudly.


    Flustered, Linsey fumbled to silence it. "See? There it is. Weird, huh? It''ste today for some reason."


    Collin watched her with a soft, knowing smile, but remained silent.


    The weight of his gaze made Linsey feel a little self-conscious. She bit her lip, her thoughts racing to find something to say.


    After a moment of quiet, Collin spoke gently. "You should go freshen up first. Breakfast will be ready when you''re down."


    Linsey nodded quickly, grateful for the change in topic. "Okay."


    After freshening up, Linsey made her way downstairs to the dining room and slid into the seat next to Collin.


    The breakfast was steak.


    She offered Collin a smile before picking up her knife and fork, carefully cutting the steak into small pieces.


    She wasn''t particrly hungry-being woken up by Felix''s call first thing had already soured her mood.


    Ugh, Felix. She sincerely hoped she wouldn''t have to deal with him again.


    Collin nced up, noticing how Linsey seemed lost in thought, still slicing the same piece of steak.


    His gaze shifted as he broke the silence. "Not to your liking?"


    "Huh?” Linsey snapped back to reality, quickly offering a response. "No, it''s fine."


    Collin''s gaze flickered to her te-her steak still untouched. "You haven''t taken a bite yet."

    Linsey, caught off guard, hurried to start cutting. "No, no, I-"


    In her rush, her hand slipped, and the knife scraped loudly against the te.


    Startled, she quickly apologized. "Sorry."


    Before she could process the moment, Collin reached out, taking the te from her. "Let me do it."


    Linsey froze, her eyes wide as Collin calmly sliced the steak into bite-sized pieces.


    His movements weren''t rushed, but steady, each one deliberate.


    His long fingers danced over the knife and fork, every motion fluid and graceful, like it was second nature.


    There was something almost captivating about it-how everything seemed to shine when someone with such charm was


    doing it.


    Before long, Collin ced the neatly cut steak back in front of her.


    "Thank you," Linsey murmured, her face warming as she looked at the perfectly arranged pieces of meat. She took a bite,


    trying to sound casual. "You know, I''m not a kid..."


    As Linsey was still trying to shake off her embarrassment, Collin casually


    spoke, his tone carrying an unmistakable weight.


    "That''s alright. As your husband, it''s only natural for me to do this. Since we got married, I''ve always been kind, thoughtful, andpletely obedient."


    Linsey suddenly choked, her face flushing an even deeper shade of red.


    She stared at Collin, wide-eyed, as she caught the yful smirk tugging at the corner of his mouth. So, he had heard


    everything earlier!
