“I’m taking you to get a marriage certificate,” Zayn said.Tessa looked at Zayn in shock. “Za-Zayn, are you…being serious?”“I have not joked with others for a very long time,” said Zayn.Tessa’s tears immediately streamed down her cheeks. “Zayn, I’m…sorry. I have misjudged you this morning. However, why would you be in touch with that woman? That woman…”Seeing that Zayn has a stern expression, Tessa did not continue. She bit her lips. “Have you thought it through about taking me to get a marriage certificate?”Zayn smiled lightly. “Of course, I have thought it through.”Prior to that day, Zayn had never thought about getting married so soon. After all, marriage was a matter that would last a lifetime. He did not wish to get married a second time in his life. He originally wanted to know more about Tessa and see how compatible they are with each other. However, after what Hana said that morning, Zayn had made the decision to marry Tessa. A voice from the bottom of his heart was
“Sebastian, what’s the matter?” asked Zayn.Sebastian did not answer but instead, he asked, “Zayn, you’re here?”“Sebastian, this office is so huge and yet, the smoke is so thick. How many cigarettes have you had exactly? Sabrina had always told me that if I ever see you smoking so badly in the office, I have to stop you. You can’t smoke so heavily. It’s not good for your lungs!” Zayn took a big step forward and snatched away the cigarette in Sebastian’s hand.Sebastian sighed. “How close are you to Sabrina?”Zayn was stunned. Suddenly, he stood up and glared at Sebastian audaciously with a cold and stern gaze. “Ford! Don’t think that I will be afraid of you just because you’re the King of South City, you’re decisive and can kill without even batting an eyelid! I have f*cking pulled through from being on the verge of dying, so I am not afraid of you! There is nothing going on between Sabrina and me! We’re very innocent! If you dare to blame Sabrina just because she and I, as well a
Zayn was startled. Nobody in South City and Kidon City combined dared to speak to Sebastian with that voice, that tone, and that arrogant attitude as the person on the other end of the line. Zayn understood instantly who the other person was on the other end of the line. He patiently called out, “Holden, I…you and Sebastian are twin brothers, so it’s not wrong for me to address you by your name, right?”“Who the hell are you? Get the hell away! Ask Sebastian to answer the call!” The person on the other end of the line still had a dreadfully cold and arrogant tone.Zayn was speechless. He turned his head back and looked at Sebastian. After that, he covered the receiver and called out, “Sebastian…”“Hang up the call,” Sebastian said calmly.Zayn was speechless. There was a pause before he hung up the call. Seeing that Sebastian did not utter a single word, Zayn did not say anything either. He had come in contact with Sebastian quite often during that period, so he more or less unders
“Besides, Aino was also very sensible. I had already explained it to her, and she understood it very well,” said Zayn.“Zayn, it’s still working hours now, but you suddenly came running over. What is on your mind?” Sabrina knew Zayn the best.“I…am going to get a marriage certificate with Tessa tomorrow,” said Zayn.Sebastian was speechless. There was a pause before she asked, “What is the matter that you can’t still let go of?”Zayn replied truthfully, “Sabrina, do you think I’m too stingy? Perhaps I have gotten used to the tough life that we had in the past? Therefore, I can’t stand girls who keep spending my money?”“Tessa spends a lot of money?” Sabrina immediately asked.“She did not spend more than my income, but she had already spent a few million dollars yesterday,’ Zayn said. “Tomorrow, she still wants to…”Sabrina was speechless. She knitted her eyebrows tightly. There was a pause before she said, “Actually, that’s also not a big deal. Which girl today doesn’t like sho
“Have you experienced any major trauma in the past?” Doctor asked Zayn very solemnly.“I had broken my legs before. I went through physical therapy as well as high technology surgery later on, so my legs have recovered now,” Zayn answered.“Then that makes sense. When you had broken your legs at that time, it indirectly affected your…” The doctor stopped mid-sentence, but Zayn understood what he wanted to say.This information was like a bolt from the blue for Zayn. It never crossed his mind that his broken legs would affect that aspect of himself. After all, he had never thought of checking that aspect during his previous health checks. He asked quietly, “Can this…be…cured?”The doctor shook his head. “Nobody dares to promise anything on that. In any case, looking at the numbers, you are infertile.”Zayn was speechless. He turned to look at Tessa, who looked stunned.“Tessa…I’m sorry,” Zayn first apologized to Tessa.The doctor had already left. He was only there to notify them
He did not understand Tessa's intention for turning back and saying that.“You are a relative to the Ford family. You are Director Ford’s brother-in-law. How can I still continue to stay in the Ford Group?” said Tessa coldly.Zayn forced a smile. “Don’t worry. I am not a petty person. That’s a separate matter. We are broken up, but that doesn’t mean you can’t work at the Ford Group anymore. Besides, Director Ford is also not the kind of person you think he is. Us breaking up doesn’t affect your future at all.”Tessa sneered. “What you said is nice to the ear, but will I be foolish enough to believe you?”Zayn was speechless. There was a pause before he said calmly. “You can choose not to believe me.”“So, I want you to compensate me for my loss!” Tessa finally revealed her request.Zayn was speechless, and then he suddenly laughed. “Alright, how much do you want?”“Ten million dollars.”Zayn was speechless. He was not short of money. However, he never expected that the girl he
Hana was startled. “What did you…what did you say?”The Zayn that she saw had a depressed, hopeless, miserable, and helpless expression on his face. He was originally such a mature and reliable man. However, at that moment, he seemed like a homeless and incomparably helpless child. He was so pitiful, and he kept having a catch in his throat. Hana could clearly tell that Zayn was trying his best to suppress his tears.She saw Zayn gradually raise his head and look at her with despair. “Your daughter doesn’t want me anymore because I am like a castrated man. The doctor said that I am infertile. I am not a man, I am a…useless person. To put it nicely, I am a useless person. If it were to be said bluntly, then I…am neither a man nor woman?” This was the greatest blow Zayn had suffered in thirty-two years of his life.He had broken his legs during the six years he spent being on the run with Sabrina, and he had spent a few years in a wheelchair, but he did not feel that it was a big deal
Zayn had such a cathartic release from bawling out. Perhaps it was because Hana was the only suitable person Zayn could turn to. He was very close to Sabrina, but she was pregnant, so he could not upset her. What about his parents? They were even more so unable to take such a blow. Therefore, Hana became the best person for him to vent his sorrows.After crying for half an hour, Zayn had calmed down quite a bit. He lifted his head and looked at Hana apologetically. “I’m sorry, Madam Sharpe. I truly was in shock. I’m sorry you had to see that.”“It's fine, Master Zayn.” Hana felt more relaxed.“Don’t call me Master Zayn, and don’t call me Mister Smith either. Just call me Zayn,” said Zayn.Hana nodded. “Zayn, don’t be sad. You have to be strong. You still have your parents, who need your care, so you can’t collapse.”“I know. Thank you, Miss Sharpe.”“Why did you change the way you address me to Miss Sharpe?” asked Hana with puzzlement.Zayn smiled with sorrow. “I used to call yo
