Bit Embarrassed


    Suddenly, Linsey''s heart pounded in her chest.


    She abruptly sprang up from Collin''sp, creating a noticeable gap between them.


    A wave of heat flooded her cheeks.


    Even without a mirror, Linsey knew she was blushing furiously.


    What had she been thinking?


    Linsey drew a deep breath and nced around, only to find herself met with the amused smiles of several servants, including Josh, the ever-observant butler. She bit her lip, mortified, wishing the ground would swallow her whole.


    This was all Collin''s fault! Why hadn''t he given her a heads-up?


    Overwhelmed by embarrassment, Linsey spun around and fled back into the vi.


    Collin watched her hasty retreat, a smile ying on his lips, his eyes filled with warmth.


    After a brief pause, Collinposed himself and addressed the staff, his tone serious. "What you just witnessed, is not to


    be discussed within this vi again. I wouldn''t want my wife to be distressed."


    "Yes, Mr. Riley," the servants responded in unison.


    Josh nodded, a knowing smile gracing his lips. "Understood, sir."


    The staff chimed in with their assurances, one even yfully adding that they had a terrible memory.


    The moment Collin disappeared inside, the group erupted in a flurry of excited whispers.


    "Oh my goodness, the way he dotes on her is simply incredible!"


    "I know, right? I haven''t seen him smile like that in ages!"


    "They must have a wonderful rtionship."


    Josh chuckled softly. "At this rate," he remarked, "it won''t be long before we have a little one running around the house."


    A nearby servant yfully added, "Perhaps even a whole brood of adorable little ones!"


    "Indeed! With their good looks, their children are sure to be absolutely beautiful.”


    "I can''t wait!"


    Josh listened to their chatter with a contented smile, more convinced than ever that Linsey and Collin were destined to be

    together.


    After all, he had known Collin for many years and had witnessed firsthand his previously cold and aloof demeanor.


    But ever since Linsey had entered his life, Collin had undergone a remarkable transformation.


    He had no doubt that their future held even greater happiness and fulfillment.


    Linsey retreated to her room and sshed cold water on her face, hoping to calm her burning cheeks.


    Momentster, Collin entered the room and instantly noticed her flustered state. He paused at the bathroom door, observing as she dried her face. "Linsey, if having so many people around is bothering you,


    I can easily have them all leave."


    Linsey froze, then quickly shook her head. "No, no! It''s not that I dislike them."


    She lowered her gaze, biting her lip shyly. "I just feel a bit embarrassed, that''s all.”


    Collin raised an eyebrow. "Really? It''s alright. If you ever feel ufortable, just let me know, and I''ll handle it."


    Seeing his serious expression, Linsey panicked, worried he might actually dismiss the staff.


    she insisted, "No, no! I''m not ufortable at all! I like having them around. I''m just not used to being affectionate with


    you in front of other people."


    She continued, as if stating the obvious, "Besides, if you send them all away, who''s going to take care of us? You don''t


    expect me to do it, do you? I''m far too busy!"


    Collin feigned offense. "Are you saying you''ve grown tired of me already?" he teased.
