find such a treasure.”
After seeing Ivy off, Linsey made her way back to the living room. A servant had already set dinner and
respectfully reminded her that the meal was ready.
“Where's Collin?” Linsey’s eyes drifted toward the staircase as she addressed the servant. “Please call him down
for dinner.”
The servant’s expression grew uncomfortable. “Mr. Riley said he won't be eating tonight.”
