Marrying A Secret Zillionaire Happy Ever After

Chapter 565 It Would Only Remind Me Of Linsey

Gorman arched a brow. "A proposal?"

He paused briefly before adding in a lukewarm, almost indifferent tone. "Congratulations."

When Gorman finally laid eyes on the woman who was married to the CR Corporation's founder, Dustin wondered how he managed to remain so composed.

"In that case, I'll be expecting you at the annual gala." Dustin placed the elegant invitation on the table with deliberate ease.

Gorman lowered his gaze, staring at the finely crafted card.noveldrama

Yet, for some reason, it felt oddly out of place.

Perhaps because, in his current state, he had no patience for witnessing other people's happiness.

Dustin noticed the silence but wasn't the least bit bothered. He was about to rise and take his leave when Gorman slid the invitation back toward him. "I'm sorry, Mr. Wade, but I won't attend your annual gala. You should keep this."

Dustin raised a brow, mildly surprised. "Mr. Green, perhaps I wasn't clear. The founder will be at the gala. That night, everyone will finally see his real face."

Leaning back, Dustin offered a knowing smile. “I know you're curious about the founder's identity. If you come, you'll be the first to meet him. And who knows? You might even land a business deal. Wouldn't that be worth

As soon as he was gone, Danny approached, fuming, "Does Dustin not get it, or is he just pretending? Everyone in town knows you and their founder don't see eye to eye, yet he still had the nerve to invite you. What an insult! You made the right call not going."

Gorman leaned back against the sofa, exhaling as if suddenly tired. His voice was calm, almost indifferent. "My reason for declining has nothing to do with my issues with the founder."

Danny hesitated, sensing there was more. "Then, is it because-"

Gorman closed his eyes, his voice laced with a quiet melancholy. "I just don't have the patience to watch happy couples right now. It would only remind me of Linsey."

Silence settled between them.

So that was it. He wouldn't have to think about her as long as he didn't have to witness love in full display.

Danny sighed inwardly. There was no point trying to talk Gorman out of it.

It was better to let Gorman process his heartbreak in his own time.
