Chapter 1084:

A low chuckle escaped Collin’s lips before he spoke with deliberate slowness. “Linsey, I genuinely wish you would rely on me completely. Everything I possess, everything I am, belongs to you if you want it. All of it is yours to command.”

As he spoke, Collin dipped his head gently, pressing his forehead against Linsey’s. A wave of tingling heat swept over her, and her heart gave a quiet jolt. Then, in a low, tender voice, he murmured against her ear, “You probably don’t realize how happy I am today.”

The elevator chimed softly as the doors slid open. They stepped inside together.

There were already a few people standing within, and as Collin’s gaze scanned the floor numbers, he noted that more passengers were likely to board soon.

Without hesitation, he guided Linsey to a quiet corner and wrapped an arm protectively around her, shielding her from the crowd.

Nestled in his embrace, she could smell the crisp scent of his cologne, the warmth of his body pressing gently against hers. It made her feel oddly grounded, safe—like nothing could touch her.

She tilted her head up slightly, only to find him looking down at her, his gaze brimming with tenderness and devotion.
