NovelApexChapter 1226:
But just as the third button slipped free, Collin abruptly pulled his hands away from her.
Without hesitation, he sat up, struggling to steady his jagged, uneven breaths. Linsey stared at the ceiling, her
thoughts tangled, then muttered, “Is something bothering you?”
Trying to steady himself, Collin kept his eyes away from hers. He twisted his neck and focused on a distant point,
refusing to look at her. His voice dropped to a rough whisper as he said, “You've had too much to drink. Nothing
you say now will make sense. We'll talk once you're sober.”
Those words brought Linsey up short. Suddenly, the haze in her mind faded a little.
Was Collin actually showing restraint?
Since when did he act so proper?
Her confusion grew, but Collin’s tone cut through, firm and unmistakable. “Linsey, we're married. You belong

rolled up her sleeve and took a determined whiff, watching her own reaction twist in the next moment.
No question about it—the odor was downright awful.
Reluctantly, Linsey pushed herself upright and shuffled in the direction of the bathroom. Before she got far,
Collin reached out, catching her arm. “Hold on.”
“What is it?” she wobbled, frowning in confusion.
Without offering an explanation, he leaned over and pressed the intebutton. The line buzzed to life, and
Collin spoke with measured authority. “Send a maid up to the suite.”

“Yes, sir,” Roland responded right away, not bothering with any questions. Linsey heard every word and shot him
a bewildered look. “Why do we need a maid up here?”
Collin fixed her with a blunt stare and replied, “Frankly, you're too drunk to handle a bath on your own. I'd rather
not have to fish my new wife out of the tub before the ink’s dry on our marriage certificate.”
She had no comeback for that.
