Chapter 476 Are You Not


    Feeling Well


    Linsey''s thoughts were a mystery to Collin.


    He sighed with relief after ending the call


    It was lucky that Linsey hadn''t caught on to anything if she had, it would have spoiled the borate surprise


    he was organizing


    Next to him, Jacquetta Turner, the jewelry designer, offered a warm smile. "Was that your wife, Mr. Riley?"


    Nodding lightly, Collin returned her smile. "It was."


    With a hint of embarrassment, Jacquetta said, "I hope I wasn''t interrupting"


    Collin waved it off with a chuckle, "Not at all. My wife has a sharp eye for design. I was worried that she might recognize your voice, so I ended the call quickly."


    Considering Jacquetta''s reputation in the designmunity, it was possible that Linsey, a fashion designer, could recognize her..


    To protect the secret he had been meticulously preparing, Collin knew caution was key.


    When she heard this, Jacquetta''s interest immediately sparked. "Your wife designs too? How wonderful! I''d love to meet her someday,"


    "Absolutely," Collin replied with genuine warmth. "Her name is Linsey, and she''s an excellent fashion designer."


    Comforted by Dolores" supportive words, Linsey managed to push her suspicions aside for the next couple of


    days.


    She resolved to patiently await Collin''s return before confronting him directly.


    Only afterward would she finally share the joyful news of her pregnancy.


    On a typical workday, Linsey was at her office.


    Her colleague tapped gently on her office door, checking if she wanted anything. "Hey Linsey, we''re ordering


    coffee. Want your usual?"


    Battling fatigue, Linsey almost requested her favorite coffee out of habit.


    "I think-" She abruptly hesitated, changing course mid-sentence. "Actually, my


    stomach''s bothering me today. Could you bring me hot milk instead?"


    10:52


    Chapter 476 Are You Not Feeling Wel


    "Linsey, are you not feeling well? I have some antacids if that might help, her colleague suggested kindly


    Linsey quickly shook her head "No, thanks"


    "Okay then, her colleague replied, who then left without further questioning. The


    door closed, and silence returned to Linsey''s office


    She breathed a sigh of relief in the silence


    Lowering her head, she tenderly touched her stomach.


    Exhaustion from the day nearly made her forget she was pregnant.


    During this period, avoiding coffee and limiting medication was essential


    She reminded herself to keep these precautions in mind.


    Thirty minutester, there was another knock. Her colleague reappeared, this time with a cup of hot milk and an envelope in hand.


    "Linsey,


    while I was at the cafe for the coffee, someone was delivering this to you, so I picked it up."


    Taking the envelope with a hint of curiosity, Linsey thanked her, "Thank you."!! Her colleague grinned. "I took a quick look, and it''s an invite to Miss Lawson''s birthday party! She must really value your work to send one your way."


    Linsey pulled the invitation from the envelope. It was indeed for Carol''s twenty- sixth birthday celebration.


    It seemed Carol meant what she had said recently about sending an invitation Linsey pursed her lips. Attending wasn''t something she looked forward to. However, she kept that thought to herself.


    "It''s probably just a formality," Linsey replied casually.


    Her colleague disagreed immediately, saying, "I wouldn''t say that. The Lawson family is quite selective about their party guests. They maintain a very exclusive guest list each year, with no details ever made public. It sounds like it will be quite the borate affair."
