Chapter 194 Just You Wait, Linsey


    What was it about Linsey that captivated Collin so? How had she managed to steal his heart in such a short span of time?


    Kylee''s fists clenched, her nails digging painfully into her palms.


    If that was how it was going to be, she would find a way to destroy Collin''s illusions about Linsey and drive her away from


    him forever.


    "Just you wait, Linsey," she hissed under her breath.


    Her breath hitched with barely suppressed fury, her eyes narrowed with resentment.


    Upon returning to Vista Vi, Collin noticed Linsey''s absence from their bedroom.


    He inquired about her whereabouts and learned from a servant that Linsey had retired to the study after dinner and hadn''t


    been seen since.


    Recalling Linsey''s unusual quietness during dinner, Collin felt a pang of concern. Without hesitation, he turned his wheelchair and headed towards the study.


    He pushed open the study door and found Linsey fast asleep, her head resting on the desk.


    A tender smile touched Collin''s lips as he gazed at her sleeping form.


    He wheeled himself closer. As he was about to wake her and suggest she retire to the bedroom, his design sketches scattered across the desk.


    Surprise flickered in his eyes.


    He knew Linsey dabbled in design, but this was the first time he had seen her creations firsthand.

    No wonder Anthea had sung Linsey''s praises. The sketches were impressive; Linsey clearly possessed a natural talent for


    design.


    Lost in thought, Collin was startled when Linsey suddenly stirred. Sensing a presence, she abruptly opened her eyes.


    "Who''s there?" she asked, her voice thick with sleep.


    Seeing her rm, Collin quickly soothed, "It''s just me, Linsey. It''s alright."


    Linsey, initially tense, rxed visibly upon recognizing Collin. She breathed a sigh of relief and smiled. "Oh, it''s you. I thought..."


    Collin''s gaze softened. The memory of her recent kidnapping shed through his mind. "There''s no need to be frightened, Linsey. We''re safe here at home. The vi''s security is top-notch; no one can get in."

    Linsey blinked, surprised by Collin''s perceptiveness. "I know," she replied softly, nodding slightly.


    Collin''s usually sharp eyes held a rare gentleness. He reached out, gently smoothing her slightly messy hair. "Why did you


    fall asleep here?" he asked softly. "You''ll catch a cold. If you''re tired, go back to the bedroom and rest."


    Linsey''s thoughts snapped back to the present. She had been so engrossed in her designs that she hadpletely lost track


    of time.


    "Right," she said, quickly gathering the drafts scattered across the desk. "I''ll go to bed now."


    Collin chuckled, amused by her flustered movements. "Why the rush to leave? Do you think I''m going to do something to you?" he teased.


    "No!" Linsey blurted out, her cheeks ming red.


    She snuck a quick nce at him, noticing the yful smirk on his lips, which only intensified her blush.


    "I was just worried you might be upset with me for getting so caught up in my work," she exined, trying to regain her


    Collin raised an eyebrow. "Not at all," he assured her. "I know how passionate you are about your work."


    He nced at the design drafts again. "Besides," he added sincerely, "your


    designs are excellent. Better than many experienced designers I''ve seen."


    Linsey blushed at thepliment. "Oh,e on," she said, flustered. "I''m not that good. You''re exaggerating."
