NovelEndChapter 71 Chapter 71 Let's Meet Up "Yes, Mrs. Riley," the servant answered before carrying the lavish breakfast tray out of the room.
Linsey quietly slipped back into her bedroom, needing a moment to gather her thoughts.
The memory of that lingering, tender kiss sent a fresh wave of heat rushing to her face, her heart thudding against her ribs all over again.
Right now, she had no idea what to make of her relationship with Collin.
They were married, yet they had barely known each other for long.
Had she been too forward by kissing him like that? Would he think she was being too bold? Her nerves twisted, but she quickly forced herself to calm down. They were husband and wife, after all. Holding hands or sharing a kiss shouldn't feel like something to overanalyze. It was perfectly normal... right? She thought back to their wedding night-she had even helped him unbutton his shirt. She hadn't bathed him, but she had caught a glimpse of his sculpted, muscular chest.

For someone who couldn't walk, it must have taken incredible effort to maintain a figure like that.
Her face burned hotter. Biting her lip, she screamed inwardly for what felt like forever.
Unable to handle it, she yanked her blanket over her head and buried her face in it, willing herself to settle down. It took ages before she could breathe normally again.
Then, her phone suddenly rang, jolting her out of her daze.
Startled, she grabbed it and glanced at the screen. It was Dolores Davidson, her best friend, calling.
Dolores had been her closest friend, someone she had met at the orphanage. Even though their personalities had always been different-Dolores had a strong-willed nature and effortlessly took charge among the other kids- they had formed a bond that nothing could break.
Back then, Linsey had been an easy target for the older children, but the moment Dolores took her under her wing, no one dared to lay a finger on her.
As they grew older, Dolores had chosen a different path, striking out on her own to build a business from the ground up.
Dolores now ran a thriving company, her schedule packed year-round. Even though they rarely had tto catch up, their friendship had never wavered.
When Linsey saw Dolores' nflash on her screen, a wave of excitement rushed through her.
Without hesitation, she picked up "Dolores!" There was a buzz of background noise on Dolores' end-it sounded like she was at the airport.
