Chapter 763
763:
It was difficult for them to go back to how they used to be.
Her thoughts drifted for a while before she snapped back to reality with a bitter smile.
As Gorman had said, she really couldn’t forget Collin.
In that moment, a female voice rang out.
“How have you been, Collin?”
Linsey’s heart skipped a beat upon hearing this.
Hurriedly, she hid in a corner and turned in the direction of the voice. It was Collin and a woman.
Linsey immediately covered her mouth with her hand, trying not to make even the slightest sound.
From her hiding spot, she could hear Collin say, “I’ve been well.”
Although his tone wasn’t particularly friendly, it wasn’t cold either. Linsey felt there was a deeper meaning behind his words. However, she wasn’t sure if that was the—
case or if it was just her imagination. What confused her most, however, was why she was hiding and eavesdropping on them.
Annoyed at herself, she wanted to leave, but her legs refused to move.
Collin and Haven, however, hadn’t noticed Linsey yet.

Haven smiled at Collin and said, “That’s good. While I was overseas, I was worried you weren’t happy. I’m relieved to see that isn’t the case.”
Although Collin’s face was a mask of polite civility, irritation had begun to build within him.
However, he maintained the polite act because of the call he had received from his grandmother a few minutes earlier.
Five years ago, he had agreed to marry Haven, the daughter of the Walton family, because of his grandmother’s close ties to them.
However, Haven had suddenly left on the day of the wedding.
His grandmother had been extremely angry when she heard the news. Later, she calmed down upon learning that Haven had to leave because her mother had suddenly fallen ill.
This explanation, coupled with the closeness of both families, caused Ivy not to press the matter further.
Years had gone by, and Ivy had long since let go of her anger.
Just moments ago, she had even called Collin herself, asking him to keep an eye on Haven. Haven had just returned and wasn’t used to Grester anymore.
That was why Collin stood patiently in front of Haven now, quietly listening as she chatted about small things.
But in truth, ever since he had run into Linsey again, his mind had been full of her. He had no interest in anyone else.
Haven noticed his prolonged silence and felt annoyed. Still, when she remembered how she had left him on their wedding day, she couldn’t bring herself to blame him.
