Chapter 171 I Will Never Agree To A Divorce

Linsey was taken aback by the sudden shift in Collin's demeanor. His expression hardened, and he gripped her hand tightly, his voice low and intense. "I will never agree to a divorce," he declared, his eyes burning with a fierce possessiveness.

Linsey winced, a sharp pain shooting through her wrist. "Collin, you're hurting me!"

Collin instantly released her hand, his expression filled with concern. "Shit, Linsey, I'm so sorry! Are you okay?"

He gently examined her wrist, his eyes widening as he saw the angry red marks his grip had left. A wave of regret washed

over him.

"I'm so sorry," he repeated, his voice laced with remorse. "I overreacted."

Seeing the lingering seriousness in Collin's eyes, Linsey felt a pang of sympathy.

Trying to lighten the mood, she gave him a playful smile. "Wow, Collin," she teased. "Why so serious? It was just a joke!"

The tension in Collin's face finally eased a bit. "God, Linsey, I'm so glad it was just a joke..."

He looked up at her, his eyes pleading. "But... can you promise me something?"

he asked, his voice barely above a whisper. "Please, never say the word 'divorce' again. I... I might actually believe you."
