Marrying A Secret Zillionaire Happy Ever After (Linsey)

Chapter 1023:

Linsey listened quietly, touched by how deeply Dolores cared for Dustin, a warmth spreading through her chest. She had never seen Dolores so devoted to any man before.

Seeing the genuine connection between Dolores and Dustin, Linsey felt a quiet joy for her friend.

Dolores continued, “Besides, Dustin has been really stressed lately because of his mother. I know he’s been working hard to get her to warm up to me, and it’s weighing on him. So, I want to use his birthday as a chance to show him how much he means to me by putting together a memorable celebration.”

Linsey gazed into Dolores’ hopeful eyes and gave her hand a gentle, encouraging squeeze. “You’re so considerate. I’m sure he’ll see how much you care.”

Dolores’ cheeks flushed slightly, a hint of self-consciousness creeping in. “This is my first time picking out a gift for a guy, and I’m pretty new to this,” she admitted, casting a shy glance at Linsey. “I figured, since you and Collin have been together for years, you’d know a thing or two about surprising a partner. That’s why I insisted you come along.”

“I’m more than happy to help!” Linsey replied eagerly. After a brief pause, her voice softened. “I once planned what I thought was an amazing surprise for Collin, but it didn’t go as planned.”
