Forced Into Marriage: My Husband’s Too Mean novel Chapter 162

Lindsey froze. There was no place to hide, so she could only helplessly lean back as she watched Zayn approach her.

When the two of them were facing each other, Zayn suddenly smirked and pinched her nose. He then reached out to pull the seat belt behind Lindsey's head and said, "What are you thinking about? Fasten your seat belt."

While saying that, he helped her to fasten her seat belt.

The oppressive feeling brought by the man abruptly dissipated, but Lindsey's heart was still pounding.

In the morning light, the Guggenheim mansion exuded a different kind of warmth.

Lindsey and Zayn got out of the car one after the other when the door to the house slowly opened. Mrs. Wendy then pushed the old man out.

"Grandpa!" Lindsey smiled.

The old man happily waved his hand at her. "Lindsey, come here."

He looked to be in good spirits, so Lindsey felt more at ease and handed the things she had bought a while back to the maid behind her. She then took out the nicely wrapped walking cane from a bag.

"Last time, I said that I’ll buy you a gift. Grandpa, try it." Lindsey offered it up like treasure as she took the cane out and presented it to the old man.

The cane was ordinary in style and only had a nice engraving at the head. It looked very rustic.

The old man was delighted and tapped the cane again in his hands a few times. He then put it on the ground and even stood up himself.

"Good, good. Grandpa likes it very much. Thanks, Lindsey."

Lindsey held her breath when she saw the old man stand up. She only let out a breath quietly when she saw that he was standing firm. "I’m glad you like it."

She bought this cane with the money she earned from working at Wilford Corporation as well as some of her previous savings.

Seeing the old man so elated, Lindsey felt very satisfied.

Next to her, Zayn looked on and smiled with his eyes.

The two of them stayed until the afternoon when Lindsey reluctantly said goodbye.

Mrs. Wendy still wanted her to stay, but this time Zayn rejected Mrs. Wendy before Lindsey could refuse.

"Aunt Wendy, next time."

Since he said so, Mrs. Wendy did not insist, but the old man was still worried and pulled him aside to quietly exhort him.

The scenery outside the car window flew by and Lindsey looked a little lost in thought.

"I just told Grandpa that the two of us made up and won’t get divorced anymore." Zayn suddenly said.

Lindsey came back to her senses for a moment. She was surprised and asked, "What did you say?"

"I told Grandpa that the two of us made up. That's what I wanted to discuss with you." Zayn turned a corner while he said this calmly.

After Lindsey digested his words, she did not get angry, which was rare. It was probably because she could already guess why Zayn said this to the old man.

Sure enough, Zayn turned his head to look at her. His eyes were serious as he said, "Grandpa’s health isn’t very promising, so I wish that you can play along with me during this time. Let’s pretend that we’ve reconciled until...until after...then we can consider whether to go ahead with the divorce."

Seeing that he really could not say those words, Lindsey felt heartbroken.

When Liam saw Lindsey, this was the first thing he said, "Zayn’s going to bring my company down. What do you think about it?"

It was amazing that he could still laugh in this situation.

Lindsey clasped her arms and looked indifferent as she said, "Then you should be looking for Zayn, not me. If you have the time to talk nonsense with me, then you might as well think about how you can plead for mercy so that Wilford Corporation won’t end up in deep sh*t."

"Tsk tsk...why are you always so sharp-tongued?" Liam sighed pitifully.

Then, the smile on his face abruptly disappeared. It was like he had a split personality. He suddenly became gloomy and cold. "Darling, don’t you forget our agreement. You and I are on the same boat."

When he said that, he saw a crack in the coldness on Lindsey's face and smirked again. "I let you use me for your revenge and now you’re abandoning me as soon as you’re done with me? You're really playing with my feelings here, babe."

Lindsey said coldly, "Don't put it in such a revolting way. Think about it, what have you helped me with since the beginning?"

She had nearly forgotten about her agreement with Liam. He probably came over to remind her.

"What a heartless little b*tch." Liam sighed as he closed in on Lindsey. "Do you think you can stand here and talk to me if I wasn’t merciful? You would’ve been a corpse by now."

"Then I should really thank you for not killing me." Lindsey also looked at him coldly and was not willing to compromise. "It seems that you’ve found what I sent to Ms. Sophie Leger?"

When Liam heard the name, “Sophie Leger”, his murderous intent almost reached its peak.

"Let me emphasize this again. We’re in a mutual partnership, so you’re in no position to ask anything of me. Otherwise, I can void this contract any time and you’ll lose whatever you care about most." Lindsey threatened him. In fact, she was simply taking a gamble.

Liam glared at Lindsey and felt like eating her alive. In the end, he just drove away without another word.

When Lindsey thought about that look in Liam's eyes, cold sweat broke out on her back.
