Chapter 1100:


    Linsey’s heart clenched at the pain written across Dolores’ face. She pulled her friend into a warm embrace. “Dolores, listen to me. Whatever you decide, I’m here for you. I’ll support you no matter what.”


    Linsey could see the truth clearly.


    Dolores truly didn’t care about Dustin anymore; none of this would matter to her. But somewhere deep inside, she still harbored feelings for him and nursed that tiny me of hope despite everything.


    “Look, if you don’t want to go, we’ll make our own ns for the day after tomorrow. We can hit up that new restaurant you mentioned, maybe catch a movie. Who cares about some birthday party?” Linsey offered with an encouraging smile. “But if you do decide to go, Collin and I areing with you. Getting invitations won’t be a problem.”


    Collin remained quiet nearby, nodding his agreement with Linsey’s words.


    His main concern was Linsey’s happiness, honestly.


    But watching how deeply Linsey cared about Dolores, he realized that his wife wouldn’t find peace until this whole situation got sorted out. Plus, being Dustin’s friend, he genuinely hoped things wouldn’t end badly for everyone involved. But Dustin’s n sounded like it was going to be one hell of a spectacle.


    Linsey and Collin didn’t leave Dolores’ ce until well past midnight. Before departing, Collin quietly arranged for a few of his men to watch over the area and keep Dolores safe. They would maintain their guard around the clock, ready to step in if needed.


    Only with these security measures in ce did Linsey feelfortable enough to finally head home.


    Without them, Collin knew he would have no chance of convincing her to leave at all.


    Even in the car, Linsey couldn’t stop ranting. Her jaw was clenched as she snapped, “Dustin is seriously pissing me off! What the hell is he doing? I had to keep it together in front of Dolores, but now he’s inviting her to his birthday? What’s next? Is he gonna propose to Joanne right in front of her? Has hepletely lost it?”


    Collin let her blow off steam, calm and quiet. Once she paused, he gently asked, “Babe, remember what I promised you the day we remarried?”


    Feel the thrill at g aln ov el s .


    Linsey paused mid-rant, narrowed her eyes, and gave him a yful p on the arm. “I’m talking about Dolores, Collin. Don’t go changing the subject on me.”


    Collin held her hand, his voice serious now. “I promised you I’d never lie to you again.”


    He hesitated, then added, “Which is why… Even though Dustin begged me not to say anything, I’ve gotta tell you what he’s really nning.”


    Linsey’s eyes went wide. “Wait—what? What did you just say?”


    The very next day, Linsey went to visit Shari at the hospital again. Shari looked much better after a few days of proper rest.


    “Linsey, I really owe you big time,” Shari said sincerely. “You even got a specialist for Elva. I seriously don’t know how to thank you enough.”


    Linsey let out a softugh. “Girl, I’ve lost count of how many times you’ve said thank you. You know you don’t have to keep doing that. We’re not strangers.”


    As she spoke, she reached out and gently patted Elva’s head. “As long as you and this little one are okay, I can breathe easy.”


    Elva nodded sweetly. “We’ll be alright, Linsey. Mom and me both.”
