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
Zayn had never expected that the world would be this small. Hector Caven was unexpectedly Tessa’s father.“Do you know my dad?” Tessa asked in surprise.Zayn was speechless. He knew him but he was not very familiar with him. Zayn had met Hector twice, and he had left a very bad impression on Zayn both times. The first time was when Zayn was about six years old. One year when Zayn’ parents brought to travel outstation to play, they were suddenly threatened by a few of the hooligans. The leader was Hector.At that time, Hector was still very young. He looked like he was in his twenties. He brought about six men and had forced Zayn’s family of three to a desolate place at the tourist attraction. He threatened them, holding a knife. “I urge that you let go of the Smith Group. Otherwise, you will suffer a bad end!”However, what Hector did not expect was that Zayn’s father was not afraid of being threatened. Zayn’s father put his chest against the knife. “I dare you to stab me to death!
However, Hector just could not do it.Hector begged, pestered, and was also unreasonable in front of Zayn’s father. In the end, Zayn’s father indeed had given Hector a million dollars for the sake of him sparing his family’s life. Not only that, but Zayn’s father also had aggressively eradicated that leader’s base overnight with lightning speed. This way, Hector no longer had any worries.Later on, Zayn’s father heard from that leader of the debt collectors that it was Zayne’s uncle and family who wanted to kill them. Hector, on the other hand, was only a pawn being used. Zayn’s father then warned Hector to stop gambling in the future! He has to turn over a new leaf. Sure enough, Hector had never gambled ever since then. However, considering that Hector was not someone with good manners, the Smith family also did not have any more contact with Hector.Almost six years had passed in a blink of an eye. When Zayn met Hector again, Hector already looked quite decent. Zayn had once gone
Hector was startled, but he smiled at Zayn. “Young man, do you know me? You must have come to my store and bought something there. I have never expected you to become my son-in-law, but you have a good eye. My daughter is the cream of the crop. She graduated from a famous college and is currently working in the largest company in South City. I also heard that her boss appreciates her.”“Mister Caven, my name is Zayn Smith. I am the current director of the Smith Group. You should have heard of it, right?” Zayn looked calmly at Hector.Hector had been peeling an onion in his hands. Suddenly, the onion fell to the ground. He glanced at Zayn in horror, and then he immediately fixed his expression. Hastily, he laughed as he looked at Tessa. “You little girl, why did you…not inform me beforehand that you have found a rich boyfriend? You gave me a shock.”Tessa then wrapped her hands around Hector’s neck. “Dad! Although Zayn is the director of the Smith Group, he is just my boyfriend in my
