Chapter 1255:
Collin’s words made Ivy glance at him knowingly, and she decided not to press the subject any further. Instead, she shifted the conversation. “I’m getting older, and you aren’t exactly young anymore either. You should start thinking about having a child.”
A lazy smile spread across Collin’s face as he lifted a hand to rub his forehead. “Grandma, I’m disabled.”
Ivy wanted to retort right away, but a thought stopped her. She let out a long sigh and said, “Don’t put pressure on yourself. I’m not demanding you have a child.”
Once the conversation with Ivy ended, Collin made his way upstairs. As soon as he entered his room, he noticed Linsey perched on the edge of the bed, her face showing clear signs of worry. The sound of the door caught her attention, and she immediately looked up.
When their eyes met, Linsey quickly got to her feet. “Collin…”
She was just about to say something urgent when Collin, already guessing what was on her mind, interjected, “Grandma was just joking with you. We’re only staying here for tonight. We’ll leave first thing tomorrow.”
Linsey’s surprise lasted only a moment before she let out a relieved breath, her happiness shining through. “That’s wonderful!”
Before she could say more, Collin added, “There’s something else…”
The uncertainty in his voice made Linsey uneasy. “What is it?”
Collin arched an eyebrow, then loosened his tie with three fingers, his voice calm and measured. “Grandma is really hoping we’ll have a baby soon. Since we’ve been married for a while and haven’t even spent a night together, don’t you think it’s about time we changed that?”
Linsey went completely still, her cheeks turning red without her even noticing. She nervously twisted her hands at her waist and looked away, unable to find any words.
Collin could tell right away from her reaction that Linsey had no interest in going through with it.
He had half expected this response, but it still left him feeling a bit frustrated. Without beating around the bush, he asked, “Why don’t you want to?”
Linsey pressed her lips together, her thoughts tangled and uncertain. In the past, she would have immediately said she was staying faithful to Felix. But now, no clear excuse came to mind. All she felt was a sense of fear about what might happen next.
Collin struggled to keep hold of his patience, which was quickly running out. Finally, Linsey managed to say, “You’re disabled, so…”
The words had barely left her mouth when Collin’s mood shifted. His face turned cold, and his voice was tight with anger as he chimed in, “I might have a disability, but that has nothing to do with what I can do in bed!”
Linsey stood frozen, unsure how to answer, her discomfort showing plainly on her face.
The accusation only made Collin angrier. He could hardly believe she would even question his ability as a man. At first, Collin had only meant to tease her, but now her remark pushed him to act.
He rolled his wheelchair closer, his eyes focused and intense. Linsey caught the warning in his gaze and tried to move away.
Collin moved much faster than she expected. Before she could make it very far, he reached out and pulled her straight into his lap.
