Marrying A Secret Zillionaire Happy Ever After

Chapter 189 You're Welcome To Stay Here

Josh overheard the exchange and stepped in with a gentle smile. "Indeed, Miss Russell, my memory isn't what it used to be. Please, don't take offense. Just let me know what you'd like to eat, and I'll have the kitchen prepare it right away."

Kylee's smile didn't falter. "Thank you, Josh," she replied sweetly.

Collin, Linsey and Kylee moved into the spacious living room and settled on the plush sofas.

Kylee, eager to impress, launched into a series of amusing anecdotes from her recent trip abroad. Collin, however, responded with polite but detached interest.

He meticulously wiped his hands with a napkin, then picked up an orange from the fruit bowl on the coffee table and began to peel it with practiced ease.

Kylee watched, her heart fluttering with anticipation. As Collin finished peeling the orange, she instinctively extended her hand, expecting him to offer it to her.

But to her dismay, Collin placed the peeled orange directly into Linsey's outstretched hand.

"These oranges are particularly sweet today," Collin remarked. "Try one."

Linsey, who had been lost in her own thoughts, blinked in surprise. "How do you know?"

After all, he had just returned home.

Collin chuckled. "I had one before I left this morning," he explained.

Linsey plucked a segment from the orange and popped it into her mouth. Her eyes lit up. "Mmm," she hummed in

satisfaction. "It really is sweet."

She casually broke off another segment and offered it to Collin, who leaned in and took it from her fingers without

hesitation.

Kylee sat on the sofa, fuming silently as she observed their easy, intimate interaction.

After a tense silence, Kylee cleared her throat, desperate to break the spell. "Oh, Collin," she began, forcing a bright smile. “I just remembered something I wanted to discuss with you."

"Go ahead," Collin replied, his attention still focused on Linsey.

Kylee feigned hesitation, glancing at Linsey. "Well..." she began, her voice dropping to a conspiratorial whisper. "I'm not sure if it's appropriate to discuss in front of Linsey."

Linsey looked up, her brow furrowed in confusion.

Collin's brow furrowed slightly. "Just spit it out, Kylee."

Emboldened by his response, Kylee finally revealed her motive for visiting. "I came here today hoping I could impose on you for a short stay. My return to the country has unfortunately attracted a lot of unwanted attention online. The paparazzi have exposed all of my properties, and even my parents' home is constantly surrounded. I'm quite frightened to go back-I don't want to cause them any more distress."

She then continued, "I know Vista Villa is very private and secure; the paparazzi won't be able to find me here. I was hoping I could stay here for a few days."

Kylee sighed helplessly. "However, I wasn't aware you were married before I arrived. Now I'm concerned that Linsey might object. Perhaps I should consider alternative arrangements. I could always stay at a hotel."

Upon hearing this, Linsey remembered a news article she had come across earlier while conducting some research.

The renowned actress Kylee had once found herself in a perilous situation due to the relentless harassment of the

paparazzi.

Some paparazzi were known to cross any line in pursuit of a sensational story.

It couldn't be easy for a woman like Kylee to endure such constant scrutiny and intrusion.

Therefore, Linsey responded, "I don't mind at all. You're welcome to stay here." Kylee was surprised by Linsey's immediate agreement and beamed with delight. "Truly?"

She turned her gaze back to Collin, her eyes filled with hope.

Collin glanced at Linsey, confirming her sincerity before responding, "Since Linsey has no objections, you're welcome to stay. Our bedroom is on the second floor. There are numerous guest rooms on the first floor. Choose whichever one you

prefer, and I'll have the staff prepare it for you."

"Thank you," Kylee replied with a grateful smile.

Dinnertime arrived soon after, and the three of them gathered at the table to eat.

Linsey picked up some food with her chopsticks, intending to place it in Collin's bowl. "Have some more," she encouraged.

"Hold on!" Kylee abruptly interrupted.
