Chapter 748
748:
That child had to be Linsey’s. And he had just heard her call Gorman Daddy.
Everything pointed to the same painful conclusion: Linsey had moved on. She had a family now. And whatever hope he had held onto—was gone.
Collin’s entire demeanor shifted. A cold, distant air surrounded him, his expression turning frosty and unreadable.
“Let’s go,” he said quietly, his voice low and firm.
Dustin understood the weight behind those two simple words. That brief exchange between Gorman and the child had said enough.
He opened his mouth, unsure of what to say.
Truthfully, Dustin understood.
Four years was a long time—long enough for people to change, for lives to move on.
And now, he finally grasped why Dolores had been so furious the last time Linsey’s name came up.
Dustin wasn’t just Collin’s friend—he was also an outsider to Linsey’s life. He had no right to ask about her choices, especially not now, when everything pointed to her having built a life with someone else, with Gorman, and a child.
Still, he hesitated, then said cautiously, “Collin… shouldn’t we follow them? Just to be sure? Maybe the child isn’t Linsey’s. Maybe she only looks like her. We haven’t heard anything about Linsey being back in town. That girl might be Gorman’s daughter with someone else.”
Collin gave a faint, weary smile. His eyes dropped, a quiet sorrow clouding them. “Confronting Gorman now won’t help. Besides, we might end up scaring the child,” he said softly.

Dustin blinked, surprised.
He hadn’t expected Collin to be so gentle—especially toward Gorman’s daughter. Still, he nodded. “Alright. Let’s go.”
“Alright.”
The two men began walking out of the terminal.
Just as they reached the exit, Collin instinctively slowed his steps.
Ahead, Gorman was helping the little girl into a car, carefully fastening her into the child seat in the back.
Collin’s gaze locked on the scene. Then, just as Gorman straightened up to close the door, Collin caught a glimpse of someone sitting inside the car.
It was a familiar face.
His expression instantly changed. Without thinking, he stepped forward, his brows furrowed sharply.
But Gorman quickly shut the door and moved to the passenger seat.
“Collin, what’s going on?” Dustin asked, noticing his shift in mood.
Collin kept his eyes on the car until it finally pulled away, then slowly turned back to Dustin. “I saw Aurora in that car.”
