Marrying A Secret Zillionaire Happy Ever After (Linsey)

Chapter 1032:

Only days ago, Dolores had been crushed over Dustin, so much so that she even lost weight. There was no way Linsey would risk dragging her back into that spiral of heartache, especially not now.

Dolores had finally found a spark of joy again, throwing herself into the preparation of Dustin’s birthday surprise with genuine excitement. Linsey couldn’t bring herself to ruin that flicker of hope with Joanne’s schemes.

Besides, Joanne’s obsessive chase after Jeffery had nothing to do with Dolores—it was her own mess to deal with.

A gentle smile touched Linsey’s lips as a new idea formed in her mind, giving her the perfect excuse to steer the conversation elsewhere. “Did you ever get around to organizing those gifts you picked out?”

Dolores lit up instantly, her worry forgotten. “Yep, all done! And I made sure to hide them well. Dustin won’t be dropping by my place anytime soon, so the surprise is safe.”

“Let’s talk in the car,” Linsey said as she gently took Dolores’ hand and led her into the vehicle.
