NovelApexChapter 1298:
Collin didn’t even bother to look her way. With a stormy expression on his face, he pressed his lips together,
refusing to answer.
Dustin, on the other hand, was quick to respond. “Of course we're friends,” he replied, his response light and
sincere.
After a moment, he turned his curiosity on Linsey. “Wait, are you Collin’s wife? Newly married?”
“Yes, | am.” She gave a straightforward nod.
Dustin took a moment to really look at her, his gaze sweeping from head to toe. “You're gorgeous, honestly. | can
see why Collin fell for you.”
Flattery from someone as attractive as Dustin would catch any woman off guard. A faint blush crept onto
Linsey’s cheeks. Her smile was shy but genuine. “Thank you for saying that.”
They slipped into an easy conversation, barely noticing Collin’s presence in the room.
Collin’s mood only worsened as the two seemed to forget about him. He found himself staring at Linsey, stunned
to see her cheeks pink with bashfulness. She never looked like that around him. This kind of bashfulness was
new.

“That's enough! Leave!”
Linsey was startled, her eyes widening at the sudden outburst. She looked around, unsure who he meant. “Wait,
are you talking to me?” She even pointed at herself for clarity.
Whenever Collin was in a bad mood, telling people to get out bechis favorite tactic. Linsey had been shown
the door plenty of times before, so this wasn’t exactly shocking, just puzzling.
Trying to figure out who had upset him now was pointless. Work had kept her busy all day, and he seemed fine
before she left. Was he really mad at her?
Instead of dwelling on it, Linsey started for the stairs, ready to give him his space. After all, if he wanted her
gone, she had no reason to stick around.

Suddenly, a strong hand cdown gently on her shoulder. She stopped, turning instinctively to see Dustin's
playful grin.
“It’s not you he wants gone. He's kickingout,” Dustin said with a wink.
Without another word, Dustin led the way out, tossing a carefree wave over his shoulder. “I'll catch you later!
Let's grab sdrinks another time,” he called, a playful grin on his face.
No reaction cfrom Collin, who simply sat in his wheelchair, eyes cool and distant. Inviting Dustin to stay
never crossed his mind.
At that moment, Linsey realized Dustin hadn't been joking.
