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.

She doesn't need to wait for me."

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

Before the butler could respond, Linsey stirred slightly, her eyes fluttering open as she blinked groggily, still lost in the

haze of sleep.

When her blurry vision cleared and landed on Collin, she paused, confused for a moment, still processing the situation.

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.

For a brief moment, he was caught off guard by the softness of his own thoughts, a surprising warmth spreading through

him.

As if to snap him out of his daze, Linsey fully awakened, her face lighting up as she threw the blanket off her, her eyes sparkling with excitement.

"Collin, you're finally back! I have something so important to share with you!" she exclaimed, her voice filled with

anticipation.
