Seeing Tessa explode in anger like that, Zayn immediately asked with concern, “Tessa, what’s wrong? What happened?”Tessa immediately put her phone down, raised her head to look at Zayn. She smiled miserably. “I’m sorry you had to see that, Zayn. I…actually, it’s nothing much. It’s nothing.”She lowered her head, and her tears dripped down. After taking a pause, she raised her head to look at Zayn again. “Zayn, let’s…eat.”Zayn held Tessa’s hand. “Tessa, I am your boyfriend. We are going to be married in the future. Your matters are mine as well. No matter what issues you need to handle, I can help you with it. Trust me. Your future husband still has this bit of capability.”Tessa pursed her lips and smiled. After that, she shook her head. “It’s nothing, Zayn.”“What exactly happened? Do you want me to die of anxiety? You are already going to take it to court! Who is pestering you? Quickly tell me!” Zayn was anxious. He looked at her with concerned gaze, and Tessa finally could no
“My dad tried but also could not chase her away. Besides, my dad had thought that she was very young, so he was worried that if he had driven her out, she would be bullied by those hooligans again. He could only bite the bullet and let her stay at his place. Later on…they had me. I heard that Hanna was only eighteen when she gave birth to me. Now, by calculation, she is only forty years old. You probably could not imagine that a forty-year-old woman, who is clearly still very young, is still only fond of enjoyment and is lazy. She is unmotivated and is only thinking of splitting half of my dad’s property all day long.”“Was your dad’s store opened before their divorce or was it already opened when he was with your mother, I mean Hana?” Zayn asked.Unexpectedly, Tessa’s reply shocked Zayn. “They had never actually been married. It was only because Hana could not endure the tough life, so she abandoned me and my dad and ran away alone. After she ran away, only then did my dad open the
Zayn was even more shocked when he heard Tessa say that. It was simply inconceivable. Before he had met Tessa’s mother, he already had an extremely terrible impression of her. The world was truly filled with wonders. If there were such responsible mothers like Sabrina in this world, then there would also be such irresponsible mothers like Hana.Hana was forty years old, which was not that much older than Zayn. He must bring Tessa along and argue face-to-face with Hana one day. Never mind the past, but since Zayn would be around from now on, he certainly could not let such a cheating and irresponsible mother harass Tessa again.“This woman is indeed too much. Your father is so nice to her, and she actually had an affair!” said Zayn furiously.Tessa sighed. “Before Hana, my dad had a wife. They have been together for many years, but they were unable to have a child. Later on, that woman blamed it on my dad, so she divorced him. My dad did not look for another partner for several years
Zayn was speechless. How could he bear to beat Aino up?Tessa, on the other hand, had always been a sensible and understanding person. She still smiled. “I’m sorry, Aino. I’m not very happy today, so my smile is more awful than my crying. I'll apologize to you, alright?”“Alright,” Aino said nonchalantly.Tessa then looked at Zayn again. “Zayn, you should look after Aino. The company is so huge. If she simply ran around by herself, Director Ford would not be able to find her later. I’ll go to work first. I’m fine. I’ll call you after work.”“Alright. Don’t hold it against Aino, she is just a little brat!” Zayn said.Tessa smiled. “I know. It’s fine, Zayn. I’m going in.”Zayn nodded. He watched Tessa enter her office, then suddenly felt a little pain in his feet. He looked down and saw that Aino was stepping on his feet with both her little feet and she was grinding them fiercely.Zayn was so angry that he suddenly roared, “Aino Scott!”“I told you I forbid you from dating Tessa
The woman Aino pointed at was squatting in a corner of the wall. Her clothes were extremely ragged and her hair was in a mess. When he looked closer, she actually still had some grey hair. The woman had a bony appearance and seemed to be at least forty years old. Also, she seemed very down-and-out at a glance. She could be…a cleaner who swept the streets? However, she was not wearing a uniform, and she was not holding any cleaning tools. She was just squatting there and what she was doing was unknown. At first glance, she looked like a homeless woman.Zayn had never discriminated against vagrants who were homeless. This was because once when Zayn and Sabrina brought Aino along to wonder, they simply were no different from the beggars. They had once lived the toughest life. Therefore, Zayn had always only had compassion and not contempt for such people.However, even so, he could not marry one to be his wife, right? Zayn was also considered a young master from an eminent family back t
They had been living together for six years. The little girl actually had remembered it all and had been taking that to her heart. Aino and her parents were already living together at that moment, so only her uncle was left alone. Aino had always wanted to find a home like that before for his uncle. Such a small person who has such an innocent heart. She was just thinking that only that kind of home could make her uncle feel happy.It was Zayn who had nasty thoughts. It was him who did not understand what the little child was thinking in her mind.Zayn squatted and hugged Aino in his arms. “It’s my fault, baby. I’m mistaken. I did not know you too well. You’re the best child in the world. You have the brightest eyes and you’re the best at thinking on my behalf, right?”Aino rolled her little eyes, she then raised her hand and pointed at Zayn. “Uncle Zayn, you’re finally enlightened. Now you know that the girlfriend I found for you is good, right?”Zayn nodded. He did not know if he
That woman had an indignant expression on her face. “I am saying that you’re an old man dating young girls! No matter how you look at it, you seemed to be in your thirties! This is called cheating. Do you know that?”“What…what are you talking about? Do we know each other?” Zayn stuttered.At that moment, he did see the woman’s appearance clearly. The woman had a bit of grey hair and she seemed like she was not that young anymore. Her features were decent and there was a deep vertical line in between her eyebrows as if she had many dreadfully worrisome matters. The woman looked like a homeless person from afar, but she did not give off an unkempt feeling to others upon seeing her up close. On the contrary, she was very clean and tidy. However, her clothes were discolored all over from being washed too many times, and there were also torn places on her sleeve and hem of the shirt. Such a person did not look like an unreasonable woman. She was more like…a fallen princess.“Ma’am, I…I
Zayn was furious. He took out his phone and called Tessa. The call was picked up very quickly on the other end of the line, and Tessa’s voice was indeed all choked up. “Zayn?”“Tessa, did your mother harass you again?” Zayn asked straightforwardly.Tessa immediately insisted. “No, Zayn, she didn’t.”“That’s not right. You’re crying! Tell me the truth, did she harass you again?” Zayn said.Tessa cried. “No, Zayn. I was the one who called her. I just wanted her to stay further away from me. I didn’t want her to harass her, so I took the initiative to call her. It’s alright now. Zayn, go back. Don’t delay your work at the company. I want to be alone for a while. I…I will want to cry once I see you, I will not be able to hold myself back. So, go home. I don’t want to cry anymore. I want to do my job properly.”Zayn thought about it, Tessa was right. She originally could hold it back and stay strong when she was alone, but she certainly would want to cry when she saw him. It was time t
