NovelOnlineChapter 243 Chapter 243 I'm Completely Drained The next morning, Linsey woke up with her mind still in a haze.
She puzzled over a dream, an old memory that had surfaced unexpectedly.
Why had it appeared now after so much time? Linsey touched her forehead, feeling a mild ache.
Perhaps her tiredness from last night was to blame.

Without thinking, she attempted to rise, only to find she was still wrapped in the arms of the man behind her. She shifted gently, and Collin, who had been holding her, stirred awake.
"Hmm? Up so early? Don't you want to sleep more?" Collin's voice was husky, his tone teasing. "I thought last night's exhaustion would make you sleep in." His words triggered her memory of last night, and warmth spread across her cheeks.
She had not expected to take such initiative with Collin, especially when they were both wide awake.
At that moment, Linsey felt completely drained, ready to drop back into sleep. Yet, she didn't want to seem frail in front of Collin. She clenched her teeth and declared, "I'm not that frail. Letgo!" Collin raised an eyebrow, his amusement clear.
He glanced briefly at the marks on her neck, his eyes darkening, then he released her.
Linsey tried to stand, but her legs failed her, and she nearly collapsed.
She cried out and fell back onto the bed.
Collin reacted swiftly, pulling her back into his arms.
"Collin, you're too heavy! Let go of me!" Linsey protested, her brow furrowed.

Linsey looked up into Collin's surprised face. "Collin! You..." He inhaled deeply and gently stroked her cheek.
The awkwardness that had flickered across his face vanished, replaced by a soft chuckle. "What's the issue?" "How can you even ask?" Linsey frowned at him. "After we stayed up so late, and you're still like this... Aren't you 00% 19:51 Chapter 243 I'm Completely Drained insatiable?"
Instead of showing any embarrassment, Collin gressed down more boldly his gaze intense as he looked into Linsey's eyes.
"Honey, I'm a grown man; this is a natural reaction," he said calmly. "Besides, since we got married, bur ince we intimate moments have been few and far between. Did you really think last night's brief encounter would be enough for me?"
Linsey was so taken aback by Collin's blunt reasoning that she wasmomentarily speechless. After a brief pause, she surrendered. "Collin, please let go. I'm completely drained." 7 She thought back to yesterday, the sight of his wheelchair, and suddenly, she couldn't bear to look at it. And truthfully, taking the initiative even once had been utterly exhausting.
Collin's laughter broke through her thoughts, his hand slowly trailing down from Linsey's ear.
"It's okay. Believe it or not, I can handle things this time, so you won't need to make any effort," he said. Linsey's eyes widened in surprise, and she shot back, "Why didn't you say something so crucial earlier?" She had been so worn out last night all because of him! This infuriating man.
