Chapter 280 Linsey, Will You Marry Me


    Linsey took a deep breath, steadying her nerves as she pushed open the door and stepped into the room.


    The space was vast and eerily silent,pletely empty of any other presence. She paused momentarily, puzzled, before venturing further inside.


    Behind her, the door clicked shut with a quiet finality.


    As she scanned the room, her gazended on a painting hanging on the wall.


    At first nce, it struck a chord of familiarity.


    Then it dawned on her-it was her own creation!


    She had painted it years ago while visiting a quaint fishing vige overseas.


    She clearly remembered donating the painting to a local elementary school for educational use. How did it end up here?


    As she stared at the familiar artwork, waves of past memories engulfed her. Suddenly, a deep voice interrupted her reverie from behind.


    "Do you remember now, Linsey?"


    Startled, she whirled around to see a man standing there-Gorman.


    He was impably dressed in a tailored suit, his hair styled to perfection.


    Linsey blinked. "Who are you?" There was something vaguely familiar about him, yet she couldn''t quite ce it.


    A gentle smile yed on Gorman''s lips. "I''m Gorman Green. Many years ago, in that little fishing vige, you saved me


    when I was hurt. You cared for me for weeks."


    Linsey''s eyes widened with recognition.


    "It was you!" she eximed, her voice a mixture of surprise and joy. "You disappeared so suddenly back then. I searched. for you for ages. I''m just relieved you''re alive. You were in such bad shape-I feared the worst."


    A warmth flickered in Gorman''s eyes as he took a step closer. "I''ve been searching for you as well, to properly thank you.


    That''s why I returned to town. Seeing you again... it means everything to me."


    His voice was thick with genuine emotion.


    Linsey smiled warmly. "I''m happy to see you too."


    After a brief pause, her tone became serious. "But you don''t owe me anything. Just knowing you made it was enough for


    me."

    Chapter 280 Linsey, Will You Marry Me


    Linsey had pieced together the puzzle of the night''s events.


    With a wry chuckle, she softly added, "So, that five-million-dor deal... that was your way of saying thanks, wasn''t it?"


    It all clicked for Linsey in that moment. Gorman must be the client.


    She didn''t wait for him to respond before adding, "I really don''t need any form of repayment. If you aren''t genuinely interested in my designs, you should cancel the order."


    Gorman''s eyes met hers, his face a mask of solemnity. Then, with a voice thick with earnestness, he dered, “No. I owe you. You saved my life. Without you, I wouldn''t be here. Besides..."


    He paused, leaving his deeper feelings unspoken.


    Back then, he had been critically injured, convinced he was on the brink of death.


    Yet there she was, aplete stranger, dedicating her days and nights to his care, never wavering in her hope for his


    recovery.


    Linsey remained quiet, perceiving the weight of what he left unsaid. Nheless, she gently shook her head. "Mr. Green, I didn''t do it for a reward. When I helped you, my only wish was for you to survive. Nothing more."


    Gorman moved closer, his determination clear. "Linsey, will you marry me? I want to make you the happiest woman in


    Grester."


    His unexpected proposal stunned Linsey, almost taking her breath away.
