Chapter 18 I Found A Job

The butler instinctively lowered his voice, sensing the tension, and replied, "Mr. Riley, Mrs. Riley made dinner and has been

waiting for you ever since."

A flicker of irritation crossed Collin's features as he frowned, his voice sharp. "Didn't you tell her? I'm swamped with work.

His gaze lingered on Linsey's sleeping face, and in a muttered, almost spiteful tone, he added, "So unnecessary."

haze of sleep.

Collin's breath hitched unexpectedly, his heart skipping a beat as he caught sight of her. Her innocent, sleepy expression

made her look almost... endearing.
