HappyNovelChapter 212 Chapter 212 I Won't Do Business With Them After dressing Collin's wound, Linsey studied his face, searching for any sign of discomfort.
Was he skind of painless miracle? The cut had been deep, and the blood loss should have made him wince, but instead, he barely flinched.
He only let out a soft breath, as though it were nothing. Caught in her thoughts, she stared at him.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCollin noticed her gaze and, with a subtle smile, asked, "What's going on, Linsey?" She blinked, snapping back to reality, and raised an eyebrow. "Are you sure nothing's off with how you feel pain?" He took a brief pause before answering, his voice steady. "I've been through worse. This is nothing." As he spoke, she couldn't help but recall the rough treatment he had endured from his family. It made sense now-his pain tolerance was extraordinary. A wave of sympathy washed over her.
After a moment, she glanced around, changing the subject. "Where's Kylee?" Collin responded casually, "She complained about her leg hurting, so I had someone take her to the hospital." He hesitated for a beat before adding, "She won't be back tonight." Linsey froze, surprised. "Why not?" "I made other arrangements for her," he said, his tone serious as he met her gaze. "Linsey, please don't misunderstand. I promise, I'll stay away from Kylee from now on. Can you stop being angry with me?" Before Linsey could respond, he quickly added, “It's not just Kylee. I'll keep my distance from all other women, too." A playful grin tugged at his lips as he continued, "From now on, only you, Linsey, get to be close to me." Linsey found herself frozen for a moment, captivated by the warmth of his smile.
Although Collin's words echoed what Felix had once said, there was a sharp contrast. Back then, when Felix had learned of her concerns, he hadn't comforted her. Instead, he had blamed her for being unreasonable.
But Collin... Collin didn't judge her or dismiss her feelings. He made her a promise-one that felt both sincere and unwavering.
An unfamiliar emotion stirred within her chest.
Her heart began to race, despite herself.
"Then... what about your work? You'll always have female business partners, won't you?" she asked, her curiosity getting the better of her.

"What's funny?" he asked, pausing as a slight frown creased his brow. "You don't believe me?" Before she could respond, he pulled his phone from his pocket. "I'll call right now and cancel every partnership with my female clients."
Linsey froze, startled by the the seriousness in his tone. She quickly reached out to stop him. "Collin, ET you're kidding, right?" But Collin remained unfazed, his expression resolute. “Linsey, I'm not kidding."

She shoved the phone back into his pocket, feeling a mix of frustration and amusement. "Collin, I'm starting to think you're a little out of your mind sometimes." Her brow furrowed. "This is between us. There's no need to drag other people into it. And the whole 'staying away from all women' thing? It's over the top." She then added," Besides, how could you just cancel business deals over something so small? Your partners haven't done anything wrong. If you start backing out of deals like this, who's going to want to work with you next time? Collin, don't you care how this might affect your reputation?" 100.0%
