Marrying A Secret Zillionaire Happy Ever After

Chapter 193 You're Just Joking, Right

A pained expression washed over Kylee's face, and deep down, she was filled with regret.

Had it not been for Collin's disability, she would have been his wife ages ago.

She knew she could never marry a man who had seemingly lost everything, especially one confined to a wheelchair. For years, she had shamelessly kept Collin as a fallback option, convinced that his feelings for her remained unchanged.

Before returning to the country, she had resolved that if she couldn't find a man superior to Collin, she might as well

secure him for herself.

After all, Collin was the founder of CR Corporation, a man of significant wealth and influence.

She had never anticipated that he would secretly marry someone else! Thoughts of Linsey ignited a spark of jealousy and resentment in her eyes.

"Alright, alright, let's not dwell on the past any longer. You're absolutely right-it's over and done with. Besides, you're a married man now. It's not appropriate for me to reminisce about such trivial matters." Narrowing her eyes slightly, Kylee dabbed at the corners of her eyes, feigning a tear or two, and asked with feigned curiosity, "By the way, does Linsey know

about your true identity?"

"Not yet," Collin replied.

Kylee's smugness grew upon hearing his response.

She was convinced that Collin's feelings for Linsey were merely a fleeting infatuation, nothing serious.

Reassured, she gathered her courage, offered a timid smile, and boldly reached for his hand.

In that case, she saw no harm in seizing this opportunity to strengthen their bond.

"Collin, I understand that your grandmother must have pressured you immensely. You must have married Linsey out of

desperation," she remarked, gazing at him with feigned affection, clasping his hand between both of hers. "But now that

I've returned, you can trust me to stand by your side, always and forever. Alright?"noveldrama

Collin's eyes widened in surprise, quickly replaced by a glacial coldness. He withdrew his hand, his voice devoid of any

warmth "Kylee, I am married, and I love Linsey deeply. The only reason I accompanied you today is out of respect for our

long-standing friendship. Nothing more."

He averted his gaze, his voice brooking no argument. "So," he added, "don't ever say anything like that again."

Kylee was momentarily stunned, unable to comprehend the iciness in his

demeanor and the sharp edge to his words.

"Collin, what are you saying?" she asked, a forced smile plastered on her face.

"You're just joking, right? You're still upset that I left for so long, so you're

deliberately saying these things to hurt me... You've only known Linsey for a short while.

How could you possibly have genuine feelings for her?"

Before she could say more, his icy glare silenced her.

She flinched, her face hardening

After a tense silence, despite her reluctance, she dared not utter another word.

She simply lowered her head and mumbled, “Alright. I understand."

Collin didn't even bother to look at her again. He turned his wheelchair and departed, instructing his subordinate as he left, "Please arrange for another car to take Kylee home. We'll be leaving now."

"Yes, Mr. Riley," the subordinate replied.

Tears welled up in Kylee's eyes as she watched Collin's retreating figure.

She had hoped that Collin would at least glance back at her, if only for the sake of their shared past, but he didn't.

It was as if she meant nothing to him, as if he could simply discard her without a second thought.

And he had treated her like that solely because she had brought up Linsey.

A wave of resentment washed over Kylee, her tear-filled eyes hardening with a newfound determination.

How could this be? How could Collin possibly have fallen for someone else?
