Chapter 404 Let's Go
Welcome Grandma...
Linsey blinked in surprise.
As he spoke, Collin took her hand, his grip firm. "I'm going to use this banquet to show everyone in town that Linsey's husband is no failure," he said, emphasizing each word.
Linsey's eyes flickered, her heart swelling with a mix of surprise and warmth.
She hadn't expected him to have such a plan.
The weight of his conviction settled in, and she realized arguing wouldn't change a thing.
He had already made up his mind.
"Alright, I'll go with you," she said, after a moment of thought. The Lawson family's banquet was a big deal, and going with Collin would be good for both of them.
Collin, finally hearing the words he had been hoping for, let out a quiet sigh of relief.
Suddenly, a piece of gossip from work popped into Linsey's mind, and she said out of curiosity, "By the way, I heard the founder of CR Corporation will be at the Lawson family banquet too. Dustin is the public face of the company-he must have met the founder already, right?"
Collin held back a smile, his eyes glinting with mystery. "You'll find out when the time comes."
Linsey nodded, her curiosity momentarily satisfied. Then, a new thought struck her. "Oh, when is Ivy coming back? Aren't we still planning her birthday banquet?"
"Grandma is coming back, but the birthday banquet might get canceled," Collin replied, glancing at the time. "Her flight lands tonight."
Linsey's eyes widened, a mix of surprise and excitement flooding her face. She stood up quickly, her voice a little flustered. "She's arriving in town tonight?"
She paced for a moment, looking anxious. "How could you not tell me something this important sooner?" Taking a deep breath, Linsey shot him a pointed look. "If I hadn't thought to ask, were you just not going to tell me at all?"
Collin raised an eyebrow, an amused glint in his eyes. "Of course not."
He reached out, gently guiding her back into her seat. His voice was calm, steady. "I just didn't want you to get all worked up right away. Look at you now-you're already shaking. Relax, we haven't even had dinner yet." Linsey pressed her lips together, at a loss for words for a moment.

Chapter 404 Let's Go Welcome Grandma Together
He was right-she was jittery and had completely lost her appetite.
"I'm not hungry anymore," she murmured. "What time does Ivy land? Should we go to the airport to pick her
up?"
Seeing the tension in her face, Collin reached out and rubbed her back, his touch warm and comfortingnoveldrama
"No need, I've got everything arranged. She should be here any minute," Collin said.
Just as he finished speaking, the sound of a car pulling up echoed from outside the villa.
Linsey froze, panic creeping in.
She hadn't even prepared a gift for Ivy's first visit!
That frustrating Collin hadn't told her a thing!
This was a disaster. Meeting Ivy for the first time, and she wasn't even ready. What kind of impression was she going to make?
Linsey was a whirlwind of anxiety and frustration, her anger directed squarely at Collin.
"Collin, you're really something! Throwing this meeting at me so suddenly." She lowered her voice, her glare sharp. "If you weren't injured, I'd seriously want to punch you right now!"
Collin smiled faintly, his eyes soft with tenderness. He stood up, offering her a hand. "Come on, honey. Let's go welcome Grandma together."
