Chapter 409 Give Me Back


    The Album


    Linsey blinked, and suddenly, the image of Collin''s bare physique shed in her mind


    His body was strong and lean, muscles defined and powerful.


    An unexpected warmth spread across Linsey''s cheeks, and she quickly looked away, feeling a rush of


    embarrassment.


    Luckily, Collin and Ivy were still wrapped up in their yful banter, oblivious to her reaction.


    Otherwise, Linsey would have been mortified!


    Ivy paused, a thoughtful expression crossing her face before she sighed. "It''s hard


    to believe it''s been three years since I left. So much has changed since I wasst in town. On the way here, I couldn''t help but notice how


    different it all looks."


    Linsey chuckled, trying to shake off the awkwardness. "Has it really changed that much? I hadn''t even noticed."


    Ivy took her time before replying, "Of course, things have changed. Not just Grester, but it looks like my grandson has changed quite a bit too."


    "Hmm?" At the mention of his name, Collin raised an eyebrow. "Grandma, are you saying I''ve gotten older or


    taller?"


    Ivy shot him a teasing sideways nce. "I''m saying you''ve be a lot livelier. Ever since you turned eighteen, you''ve gotten colder, more distant. But now? You''re much more pleasant to be around."


    Linsey couldn''t help but grin. "Ivy''s right. When I first met Collin, I thought he was a little intimidating."


    At her words, Collin turned toward her, his gaze softening with nostalgia.


    Their first meeting had been at the wedding.


    Ivy sighed dramatically, growing animated as she reminisced about Collin''s childhood. "Some people were just adorable when they were kids," she said fondly. "He used to be so clingy, always on the edge of tears if left alone. Never wanted to be apart from me, not even for a second!"


    Linsey''s eyes widened in disbelief. She couldn''t picture that scene at all.


    Collin was caught off guard by his grandmother''s revtion, his face immediately darkening, his embarrassment written all over it.


    "Grandma, please stop," he muttered, clearly ufortable.


    But Ivy was having too much fun,ughing as she squeezed Linsey''s hand. "I''m


    not lying! I have a whole collection of Collin''s childhood photos. I''ll show them to youter, and you''ll see for yourself!"

    "Really?" Linsey''s interest piqued, her excitement growing.


    She had never seen Collin as a child before!


    After dinner, Ivy eagerly led Linsey to the living room sofa.


    "Go, open my suitcase and bring me the albums from the bottom," Ivy instructed a servant nearby with a smile,


    her tone casual.


    "Yes, Mrs. Riley," the servant responded promptly.


    Momentster, the servant returned with two photo albums and handed them to


    Ivy.


    As Collin approached, his eyesnded on the familiar album in his grandmother''s hands.


    He quickly stepped forward and snatched it away from her.


    The moment he saw the cover, Collin immediately recognized it as his childhood photo album.


    So his grandmother hadn''t been joking after all!


    She had actually been carrying this album around with her.


    "Collin, what are you doing? Give me back the album," Ivy said, her voiceced with displeasure.


    Collin stubbornly shook his head. "No way, Grandma. I''m keeping this album from now on. You''re not looking


    at it anymore."


    He wasn''t kidding. Why should anyone be flipping through his childhood photos while he was right there?


    Wasn''t he better looking now?


    Ivy''s irritation red instantly. "I brought this album back. What right do you have to keep it from me?"
