Chapter 762:
When Linsey heard him mention Zenia and Zander, she acknowledged to herself that the children did depend on Gorman to some extent.
She believed that the complications between adults shouldn’t affect the children. Gorman had expressed his willingness to remain friends.
Considering this, Linsey gave a gentle nod. “Alright.”
She looked at him and suggested, “Perhaps we shouldn’t see each other for a while, just to give you some space to process everything. Once you feel ready, you’re always welcome to visit Zenia and Zander.”
At her words, Gorman felt his fists clench at his sides, but he quickly relaxed them.
“Understood,” Gorman replied with a mild smile. “Could we start that after tonight’s event? We might still need to help Dolores connect with potential business partners.”
Linsey was momentarily taken aback, quietly impressed that he was still considering Dolores’s business needs.
She nodded again. “Thank you for that.”
Despite his inner turmoil, Gorman maintained a calm exterior. “You’re welcome.”
Linsey sensed a discomfort watching him keep his composure. Realizing she might have been too stern before, she softened her tone. “I just need some time to myself. If I need anything, I’ll reach out.”
After their exchange, Gorman understood he couldn’t push Linsey any further.
Reluctantly, but showing support as a friend, he agreed. “Alright. Take the time you need.”
Linsey smiled and adjusted her dress as she walked to the other side. Gorman watched her walk away with a thoughtful expression on his face.
He stood like that for a while, then pulled out his phone and dialed a number.
“How goes the matter I instructed you on?” he said coldly.
“There’s nothing to worry about, Mr. Green. Haven is already at the banquet,” the person on the other end of the phone said.
“Good. Keep me informed of any changes.”
“Yes, Mr. Green.”
The banquet hall remained lively, even as the courtyard seemed to grow emptier.
Linsey walked down the path, her mind spinning with thoughts of her recent meeting with Collin.
This time, she had seen Collin more closely and clearly compared to the last time, when she had only caught a glimpse of him through a car window. It had been four years. Collin now seemed more mature and thoughtful. However, he gave off a certain coldness she had never felt from him before.
Maybe it was because she hadn’t known back then that he was the founder of CR Corporation.
Previously, she had been unaware of Collin’s other titles and identities. Now that she knew, the relationship between them had changed significantly.
