Chapter 464
464:
Collin stepped out of the bathroom, towel in hand, expecting to see Linsey in the bedroom. But she wasn’t there.
Where had she gone?
“Linsey…” he called out, running the towel through his damp hair and scanning the room. Just as he was about to head out, Linsey’s cheerful voice came from the walk-in closet behind him. “I’m here!”
Collin turned and found her standing inside, a measuring tape dangling from her hands.
“Honey, come here quickly!” she said, her eyes bright with excitement. Her beaming smile was contagious. Collin couldn’t help but smile back. He crossed the room, drawn in by the excitement in her eyes.
“Why do you seem so happy?” He paused, then added, “Is it because of Grandma’s thoughtful gift?”
Linsey blinked, then nodded. “That’s part of it! By the way, I still don’t have Ivy’s contact info. Maybe you could take me to the nursing home sometime so I can thank her in person.”
“Of course,” Collin agreed without hesitation. For something so simple, he never thought twice.
Realizing something, he studied her for a moment, then raised an eyebrow. “You said Grandma’s gift was one reason. What’s the other?”
Linsey had been waiting for him to ask that question. With her eyes sparking with excitement, she grinned from ear to ear and held up the measuring tape. “Collin, I want to design a suit for you!”
The flicker of surprise on his face was exactly what she had hoped for. “What do you think? Bet you didn’t see that coming!” She chuckled, playfully swinging the measuring tape.

“Design a suit for me?” Collin arched a brow, then nodded. “You’re right. I didn’t expect that. What made you suddenly decide to do that?”
He had always known about Linsey’s extraordinary talent for design. But right now, what mattered most wasn’t how amazing the suit would be. It was the fact that she was the one making it. Anything she created with her own hands was something he would cherish.
The thought of her designing something just for him filled his chest with warmth.
Linsey met his gaze and said softly, “Isn’t the Lawson family banquet coming up soon? Since they’re inviting you, I figured it’s the perfect chance for you to showcase your style and charm.”
At her words, Collin’s eyes flickered, and his breath hitched. He didn’t speak; he just listened.
Linsey had clearly put a lot of thought into this. Now that she had started, there was no stopping her. “When you walk into that banquet, everyone in town will see that you’re not just some slacker. You’re truly a remarkable man!”
As she spoke, a proud smile spread across Linsey’s face, and her voice brimmed with confidence. “I believe in my design skills. With your great physique and handsome looks, plus the suit I design for you, you’ll be the star of the banquet!”
Collin watched her, amused by the sheer excitement in her eyes. A low chuckle escaped him, drawn by her sweet yet unwavering enthusiasm.
“You think I should use my charm to steal the spotlight?” Collin asked, raising a brow.
Linsey shook her head, completely serious. “Of course not! I just think a little polish wouldn’t hurt. But at the end of the day, your skills matter most. If you present yourself well, those high-profile guests will be more inclined to engage with you. That means more opportunities.”
