They specifically said... your father and Fernanda are looking forward to meeting your new bride." "Is that so?" Collin let out a cold chuckle, his expression unreadable.
He wasn't naïve enough to believe that the Riley family had suddenly developed an interest in his marriage out of genuine concern.
"They must have caught wind of Haven running off and my abrupt wedding. Now, they're just seizing the opportunity to have a good laugh at my expense." With a flick of his wrist, he tossed the invitation onto his desk, his tone laced with indifference. "Since they're so eager to meet my wife, then let them. Make the arrangements." "Understood," the subordinate said, turning to leave.
But after a brief hesitation, he recalled the way Linsey had looked earlier-her red-rimmed eyes, the trace of distress on her face. He hesitated only for a second before speaking up. "It's not my place to interfere in your personal matters, but..... there's something I feel I should mention." Collin lifted his gaze slightly, his expression sharp and unreadable. "Since when did you start hesitating to speak? If you have something to say, just say it." The subordinate straightened and replied at once, "When I cin earlier, I noticed Mrs. Riley seemed upset. Her eyes were red-like she'd been crying. You just got married. If there's any misunderstanding between you two, it's best to clear it up quickly before it turns into something worse."

Once the study fell silent again, Collin finally had a chance to gather his thoughts.
His mind drifted back to the moment when Linsey had accidentally bumped into his chin and cried out in pain.
It hadn't hurt him in the slightest, but thinking about her delicate skin, he couldn't help but wonder if she was still hurting.
He guessed that even if she was, she probably wouldn't admit it.
After a brief pause, he pushed aside his work, turned his wheelchair, and decided to check on her himself.

As she stepped into the living room, the butler immediately noticed something was off. "Mrs. Riley, is everything all right? You don't look too well." our media Linsey froze for a second before snapping out of her thoughts. She instinctively touched her face and quickly replied, "I'm fine."
The butler misread her reaction, assuming she was frustrated over failing to convince Collin to take EP.

He gave her a warm, understanding smile and reassured her, "Mrs. Riley, don't take it to heart. Mr. Riley has always been stubborn when it comes to his health. We've all tried to persuade him to take better care of himself, but none of us have ever succeeded. It's nothing personal-he's just like that."
