I was thinking of making sof your favorite dishes tonight. Eat as much as you want, okay? My cooking has improved a lot over the years." Then she turned to Linsey with a practiced smile. "Linsey, you should helpin the kitchen later. It'll be a great chance for you to pick up a thing or two. Now that you're married to Collin, you should at least know how to cook the meals he loves." Collin's jaw tightened. He started to speak, ready to refuse on Linsey's behalf.
"Alright." To his surprise, Linsey agreed without hesitation.

Linsey glanced at the pile, then gave a small nod. "Sure." Linsey stepped forward and carefully rinsed the vegetables, ensuring each leaf was spotless.

So, was she simply biding her time, waiting to secure wealth and power through his status as a member of the Riley family? Turning the idea over, Kylee decided to dig a little deeper. She stepped closer, her tone laced with concern. "Linsey, has it been difficult for you, taking care of Collin all this time? I mean, he can be so distant and reserved.
