Chapter 653 I Haven't Been With Anyone But Linsey

As he caught sight of Collin at work in his office, Dustin's thoughts immediately jumped to Zander-the boy he had spotted earlier at the restaurant.noveldrama

There was no doubt in his mind. The resemblance hadn't been imagined. That child truly looked like a younger

version of Collin.

Regret hit him hard. He hadn't managed to take a photo as proof.

Having known Collin for years, Dustin understood him inside and out. Without something concrete, even the most detailed explanation wouldn't hold water. Collin would dismiss it without a second thought.

What made it even more bewildering was the fact that Collin hadn't been romantically involved with anyone but Linsey in all these years.

So the appearance of a child bearing Collin's features came as a complete shock.

A sudden possibility dawned on Dustin. Maybe-just maybe-Linsey had already been pregnant when she and Collin parted ways four years ago.

The idea stunned him.

"What are you just standing there for?" Collin asked in a steady tone, then lifted his gaze toward Dustin, who stood by the door.

That snapped Dustin out of it. Seeing the stunned look on his friend's face, Collin arched a brow. "What's going

on?"

Still rattled, Dustin tried to gather himself. He opened his mouth, hesitated, then forced himself to walk toward the desk. "Can I ask you something... personal?"

Collin didn't even glance at him. "No."

Dustin ignored the rejection, sat down with a straight face, and leaned forward. "Look, Collin, this might come off as invasive, but it's something important. You deserve to know."

Lifting his gaze, Collin fixed his eyes on him. "Then quit dragging it out. Just say what you came to say."

Dustin paused briefly, unsure how to phrase the question without sounding intrusive. Still, he pressed forward. "Collin, have you been with anyone... romantically, in the past few years?"

That line barely left his mouth before Collin's expression shifted into something cold and sharp. "What did you just say?"

Noticing the irritation flare across his friend's face, Dustin quickly raised his hands in defense. "I didn't mean

anything by it-1 was just wondering"

With a slight drop of his gaze, Collin grew thoughtful before asking coldly, "Did you go talk to Dolores again

Over time, Collin had picked up on Dustin's strange concern for Dolores-far too frequent to be casual.

There was no doubt in his mind that Dolores, being Linsey's closest friend, probably knew everything about Linsey's whereabouts since the divorce.

But at this point, Collin had lost any right to approach Dolores and ask where Linsey might be.

Instead, he pinned his hopes on Dustin. Maybe one day, he would come back with news about Linsey. Maybe he would say the words Collin could no longer ask for himself.

That was why he had always allowed, even quietly encouraged, Dustin's connection with Dolores.

A moment ago, when Dustin suddenly threw the question at him, Collin instantly suspected that Dolores might be using Dustin to speak on her behalf.

To him, that suggested the question Dolores raised could very well reflect Linsey's true intentions.

That thought alone lit a spark behind Collin's eyes.

"It's nothing serious, Collin. I was just wondering, that's all. You don't need to explain if you'd rather not." Dustin's thoughts kept circling back to Zander, whose resemblance to Collin was impossible to ignore.

But now he was starting to believe it might have been nothing more than chance, convincing himself that Zander likely had no connection to Collin whatsoever, and the idea had just been something he imagined.

Collin fixed his gaze on Dustin, silence thick between them for a moment. Then, with deliberate calm, he replied, “No. I haven't been with anyone but Linsey. And I never will."
