Marrying A Secret Zillionaire Happy Ever After

Chapter 818:

If not, Linsey wouldn’t have tolerated him purchasing the apartment next to hers four years ago.

“Why don’t you take a seat? Can I get you a drink?” Linsey asked, choosing to overlook his previous statement.

Raising his eyebrows, Gorman replied, “Anything cold will do. I’m quite warm.”

“Here, have some ice water,” Linsey said as she fetched a bottle from the fridge and handed it to Gorman, who had settled onto the couch.

“Thank you,” Gorman said, cracking a slight smile, then smoothly transitioned. “Now that the design competition is done, are you planning to extend your stay in Grester with the kids, or are you leaving soon?”

Taking a seat in the nearby armchair, Linsey responded, “I’ve decided to stay.”

As he began to unscrew the bottle cap, Gorman paused, a fleeting, malicious expression crossing his face.

With a forced smile, he lightly asked, “What’s made you change your mind? Is it difficult to say goodbye to Grester?”

While he was speaking, Gorman’s hand tightened around the bottle. He set the bottle down on the table with a deliberate thud, without taking a sip.

Linsey’s brow furrowed as she noted the emotional turmoil beginning to stir within Gorman.

“Having spent over twenty years in Grester, it’s become home. Ella, who has taken me in, lives here, and my best friend too. I’ve grown accustomed to life in this town. After careful consideration, I’m choosing to stay,” she declared.

Her gaze was steady and determined as she met Gorman’s eyes. For a brief moment, Gorman observed her quietly, then his expression softened into a warm, kind smile.

“Understood. I respect your choice,” he said smoothly. “The Davidson Group has flourished recently. Joining them as Aurora would be an excellent move for you and Dolores.”

Linsey was taken aback by Gorman’s words—they echoed her and Dolores’ own plans precisely.

She hadn’t anticipated that Gorman would agree when she brought it up.

To her surprise, he immediately said he would support her.

Gorman’s opinion would not sway her determination.

Yet, his attitude caught her off guard, leaving her a little surprised. Linsey then asked, “And what about you? Are you planning to leave Grester?”

Studying Linsey’s composed expression, Gorman sensed her courtesy was merely formal—she had no intention of suggesting he stay. To Linsey, his presence or absence was seemingly inconsequential.
