Chapter 157 It''s A Pleasure


    To Meet You, E


    Linsey quickly reassured them. "That''s my husband, so you don''t have to worry!"


    The children present were visibly surprised by this revtion.


    "You''re married?!" one of the children eximed.


    "Does getting married mean you get to wear a beautiful dress and exchange rings in a church?" another child chimed in.


    Linsey couldn''t help but chuckle at their innocent curiosity, nodding with a warm smile. "Yes, that''s exactly right."


    A few of the children, emboldened by their curiosity, sized Collin up for a moment before bravely stepping forward.


    "So, you''re the husband!" one of them dered.


    "What''s your name, mister?" another piped up.


    Collin, who generally preferred thepany of adults, felt a surge of irritation as the children swarmed him.


    He was about to unleash a stern rebuke when he caught Linsey''s eye; she was standing a short distance away, watching him. with an expectant gaze.


    Collin pressed his lips together, and with a hint of reluctance, softened his tone. "Hello there," he responded.


    Despite his civil response, he was clearly ufortable with the children clinging to him.


    Thinking fast, Collin instructed his assistant, "Bring in those gifts and distribute them to the children."


    The assistant promptly appeared with an armload of gifts. The sight of toys and snacks triggered a frenzy of excitement,


    and the children promptly forgot about Collin, rushing towards the assistant to im their treasures.


    Amused by the scene, Linseyughed softly and approached Collin to take control of his wheelchair.


    Together, they kept going.


    As the excited chatter of the children faded into the background, Collin broke the silence. “You seem to be quite familiar with this ce."


    Linsey nodded. "I lost my parents when I was young, but I was fortunate enough to be taken in by E. She''s the director here. She raised me, and I wouldn''t be where I am today without her. But she''s getting older now, and it''s bing harder for her to manage thisrge orphanage on her own. So I try toe by as often as I can to lend a hand."


    Collin instantly grasped the significance of E Jenkins in Linsey''s life.


    Collin''s brow furrowed slightly. "I apologize," he said. "I didn''t realize we were meeting someone so important to you. I only brought gifts for the children and didn''t think to get anything for E."

    Linsey chuckled softly. "It''s really okay. You don''t need to worry about bringing anything. Even if you had, E wouldn''t


    ept it. That''s why I didn''t say anything beforehand. E is incredibly kind and wouldn''t mind these little details. As long


    as we show we care about the children here, that''s enough to make her happy." Soon, Linsey and Collin arrived at E''s office.


    Linsey had already told E about their visit, so E wasn''t surprised to see Collin with her.


    "Linsey, you made it!" E greeted warmly, taking Linsey''s hands and looking her over. "Well, you seem to have put on a


    little weight since Ist saw you."


    Linsey''s cheeks flushed. "E, why do you have to point out that I''ve gained weight?" she protested yfully.


    E smiled kindly, tapping Linsey''s nose affectionately. "You were too thin before. Now you look much healthier."


    As she spoke, her eyes shifted to Collin. "You must be Mr. Riley. Linsey has mentioned you. I didn''t get a chance to


    congratte you both on your wedding," she said.


    "It''s a pleasure to meet you, E," Collin replied. "Please, call me Collin."


    E smiled warmly. "Alright, Collin. Let me get you some coffee."
