Chapter 211
211:
A flicker of annoyance crossed Kylee’s lips, but after a brief pause to compose herself, she forced a smile.
“Oh, I see. You truly are Collin’s wife? I apologize profusely. I mistakenly assumed you were lying earlier, which unfortunately led to some misunderstandings. Please don’t take offense at my previous remarks.”
Linsey regarded her calmly, remaining silent for a beat.
A moment later, Kylee beamed, extending her hand towards Linsey. “Let’s start fresh. I’m Kylee Russell. Collin and I grew up together.”
Linsey’s impression of Kylee was less than favorable.
However, recognizing that Kylee was Collin’s guest, Linsey politely accepted her hand. “Linsey,” she responded.
Their hands met briefly before separating.
At that moment, Collin’s car pulled up.
Recognizing the familiar sound, Linsey stepped forward to welcome him.
However, Kylee reacted more swiftly. Gathering her dress, she rushed out, bumping forcefully into Linsey as she passed.
The unexpected jolt caused Linsey to stumble and nearly lose her balance.
By the time she regained her footing, Kylee had already reached the villa’s entrance.
As Collin was assisted out of the car and into his wheelchair, he noticed a familiar figure he hadn’t seen for quite some time.
“Collin! You’ve finally returned. I’ve been waiting for you at home,” Kylee exclaimed affectionately, her eyes brimming with emotion as she gazed at him.
A flicker of surprise crossed Collin’s eyes as he inquired, “What brings you back to the country?”

His entourage, noticing Kylee, greeted her respectfully.
“Miss Russell.”
“I missed you, of course,” Kylee replied demurely.
Her gaze fixed on Collin, and she frowned with concern. “Collin, it’s only been a short time since we last saw each other, yet you’ve lost so much weight. Haven’t you been eating properly while I was away?”
Pouting, she moved closer, attempting to take his arm, but he subtly evaded her touch.
Kylee paused momentarily, not pressing the matter further, and said playfully, “Collin, if you don’t start taking better care of yourself, I’ll be quite cross with you.”
“I’m perfectly fine, Kylee,” Collin replied, his voice cool and composed. “No need to fret over me.”
As if recalling something important, he added, “I heard you sustained an injury while filming abroad. Are you alright?”
Kylee’s spirits lifted at the sound of Collin’s concern. A sheepish grin spread across her face. “Oh, it’s nothing serious,” she assured him. “You know me, Collin; I’m not some fragile flower. It’s just a minor scrape, nothing to worry yourself over.”
Collin offered a curt nod, his expression remaining unchanged.
To Linsey, their easy banter resembled a scene straight out of a movie—a handsome man and a beautiful woman completely engrossed in each other’s company.
For a moment, Linsey hesitated, unsure whether to intrude upon their intimate exchange. She felt a pang of awkwardness, like she was an outsider looking in.
Despite being married to Collin for a considerable period, she had never once heard him mention Kylee.
