Linsey, standing close by, observed the surprise that flickered across his face as he beheld the timepiece. "Collin," Kylee began with a smile, "I've al remembered your passion for antiques, even from when we were kids. During my years working abroad, I kept my eyes peeled for anything that might be a worthy addition to your collection. Fortunately, I stumbled upon this and brought it back for you. What do you think?" Collin raised an eyebrow, curiosity piqued. "There are less than three of these antique watches left in existence," he remarked. "I once spoke with a billionaire collector, but he refused to sell it to me. Where did you manage to find it?" "The collector you're referring to wouldn't happen to be Mr. Bruce Quimby, would it?" Kylee asked with a knowing smile. Seeing Collin nod in confirmation, Kylee explained, "It was quite a coincidence, actually. Mr. Quimby is a huge fan of one of my films and considers himself quite the admirer. I paid him a visit, and after a bit of persuasion, he agreed to part with it." Kylee tilted her head slightly, her gaze fixed on Collin. "So, Collin, do you like it?" "Of course," Collin replied without missing a beat. "It's something I've wanted for a long time." Kylee breathed a sigh of relief, placing a hand on her chest. "That's wonderful,” she said. "I was so worried you might not like it." Linsey, who had remained silent throughout the exchange, felt a pang of bitterness.
She felt utterly like an outsider.

Until this moment, she had believed they were growing closer.
Now, Linsey recognized the naiveté of that belief.
Throughout her conversation with Collin, Kylee had been discreetly observing Linsey's reactions.
Noticing Linsey's evident disappointment, Kylee felt a surge of satisfaction.
She firmly believed that no one understood Collin better than she did.
Linsey was merely a temporary distraction, an insignificant blip on the radar.
With a little more effort in the coming days, she was certain she could make Collin lose interest in Linsey.

Feigning a sweet smile and a hint of regret, she said to Linsey, "I didn't know about you before I came, so I didn't bring a gift. I'm so sorry. I'll definitely make it up to you next time." 0.0% 17:56 Chapter 191 Do You Like it
Linsey managed a polite smile.
"That's not necessary. But thank you. Since it's been a while since you tw have seen each other, I'll leave you to catch up. I have swork to do, so I'll head out now."
Linsey took a deep breath, masking her mixed emotions, and turned to leave, her heart heavy. Collin frowned, noticing Linsey's unusual dejection.
He was about to follow her when Kylee suddenly blocked his path.
Grabbing his hand, she smiled.
