“Alright. We’ll see when we get home,” he replied, keeping his tone deliberately casual.

Linsey’s eyes lit up. “Okay. Let’s go home.”

She was in high spirits, unaware that elsewhere, two people were in a completely different mood.

Felix and Joanna stood frozen outside the mall, still in disbelief. Just moments ago, they had watched Linsey climb into a luxury car and drive off.

Even now, with the car long gone, they remained rooted to the spot, stunned.

Linsey had gotten into another man’s car. Seriously?

Could it be that she had been telling the truth all along? That she really was married?

And not just to anyone—but to a man who was both incredibly handsome and unquestionably successful?

Before Linsey even stepped out of the mall, the luxury car was already parked outside. The moment the rear window lowered slightly, Joanna’s eyes locked onto the man inside, unable to look away.

In all her years in Grester, she had never seen a man with such striking features.

As he glanced toward the mall, he casually lifted his wrist, checking the time on his watch. Every subtle movement of his sent a ripple through her chest. The air of refinement and authority he carried was something far beyond the reach of ordinary people.

He was way out of Felix’s league.

“What are you staring at? Has Linsey come out yet?” Felix’s voice broke through her daze, oblivious to the fact that Joanna had been completely captivated by another man. His mind was too preoccupied with one thing—when Linsey would appear.

And then, as if on cue, she did.

“Linsey!” Felix called out, his voice filled with excitement as he instinctively moved forward, ready to stop her.

Joanna snapped back to her senses and quickly grabbed his arm, her grip firm. “Felix, don’t do anything rash. There are too many people here. I don’t want security throwing us out again.”

Even as she spoke, both of them watched as Linsey strode straight toward the luxury car and slipped inside.

“Linsey, she…” Felix’s breath hitched, his eyes widening in shock. Since when had she gotten involved with someone like that? Joanna was just as stunned, her mind racing. Then, she suddenly recalled what Linsey had said to them back at the store.

Her voice came out uneven. “Linsey said she’s married. Could that man in the car… be her husband?”

Her mind reeled as Collin’s image surfaced again. He was exceptional in every way—and he was Linsey’s husband!

The more Joanna dwelled on it, the more her anger simmered. How did Linsey, of all people, end up with a man like that?

He was wealthy, young, and infuriatingly handsome—everything Joanna had ever dreamed of.

Her teeth clenched as jealousy twisted inside her, the bitterness so strong it nearly made her want to wring Linsey’s neck.

Linsey had walked away from Felix and somehow landed such an extraordinary man. Who did she think she was?

Beside her, Felix stood frozen, struggling to make sense of what he had just witnessed. His gut told him that Linsey was only putting on a show to get under his skin.
