Chapter 900

900:
There were so many beautiful women in the world—women better than her. And with Gorman’s looks and status, he could have anyone. Yet still, he wanted her. She simply couldn’t figure it out.
Gorman read her expression like a book.
He let out a cold scoff, his eyes narrowing. “Why can’t you see me, Linsey? I’d do anything for you. I’d even treat your children with Collin like my own. But you? You won’t even let me in. And now, you’ve barely returned to Grester, and you’re already thinking of going back to Collin…”
His eyes darkened with resentment. But he quickly wiped the emotion from his face and spoke calmly. “What a shame. So what if you still have feelings for him? You gave Zander to Collin yourself, but it won’t make any difference.”
He smiled as if nothing had happened, reaching out with his other hand to run his fingers through her hair.
Linsey stiffened. Every part of her rejected his touch. She tried to pull back, but he held her tightly, giving her no room to move.
“You saw it, didn’t you?” Gorman’s voice was soft, almost like a lover’s whisper. But his words were sharp as knives. “Collin spent a fortune on the Star of the Desert. And now? It’s hanging around Haven’s neck. I heard it’s a birthday gift from him to her.”
Color drained from Linsey’s face. Her breath hitched as she whispered, “You called her here on purpose.”
Gorman chuckled, amused. “Of course I did. Why would I argue? Without me, do you think Haven could have shown up here?”
He paused for a moment, then continued, “Anyway, since you’ve already sent Zander to Collin, it should’ve been easy for him to find you. But tell me—why hasn’t he come?”
Linsey slowly closed her eyes. When she opened them again, they were red with emotion. “Because he’s marrying Haven. I don’t matter to him anymore.”
Linsey’s hands curled into fists. “For the record, I never planned to send Zander to Collin. He’s my son. I would never hand him over to a man I can’t stand.”
That much, Gorman didn’t bother disputing. He had spent enough time around Linsey to know that there wasn’t a chance she would have sent Zander to Collin.
He had told Caylee to poison the kids’ perception of Collin, painting him as the one who had mistreated Linsey. But truthfully, the outcome didn’t trouble him in the slightest. Zander had never been someone he was fond of. In fact, seeing him leave Linsey’s side made Gorman’s life easier. Zenia, though, was a different matter. She resembled Linsey so closely that her presence didn’t feel like an intrusion.
And as long as one of the children stayed close, it gave him exactly what he wanted: something to hold over Linsey whenever necessary. Once the wedding went through, he figured the kids would matter less. They would have a family of their own eventually, and these complications would fade.
