Forced Into Marriage: My Husband’s Too Mean novel Chapter 164

Allie felt that things between them should not be so simple. Even though she was quite far away earlier, she could see Shaun’s expression clearly. The delight in Shaun’s eyes when he saw Lindsey was unmistakable.

Also, when the other girl appeared, Allie saw the tension that arose on Shaun’s face.

A man's mouth could deceive, but his eyes could not. That man's feelings for Lindsey were definitely not ordinary.

Allie secretly took note of this and followed Lindsey upstairs. The Guggenheim family’s servant was already standing at the door and was about to give Lindsey a call.

It was not the first time that Allie ate the food delivered by the Guggenheims, but this time, she could not taste anything.

After finishing her meal, Allie sat for a while and waited until 9:00 pm before she got up to leave.

Lindsey sent her to the door, but the doorbell suddenly rang.

Lindsey's first thought was that it might be Zayn, but Zayn had always knocked on the door and never rang the doorbell, which had almost become his unique characteristic.

The small display at the entrance showed that there were two strangers, a couple of middle-aged man and woman.

Allie also stopped and looked at those two people.

No one opened the door, so the people outside seemed a little anxious and pressed the doorbell a few more times. The woman pulled the man and said something, but the man impatiently shrugged off her hand and rang the doorbell a couple more times.

Lindsey did not move, but Allie pulled the door open. "What the hell are you doing?"

Seeing that she did not know these people, Lindsey wanted to pretend that no one was home, but her plan was ruined.

However, she did not mind since the apartment security was pretty decent, so nothing would really happen.

The two people saw the door open and assumed that Allie Wilford, who opened the door, was the homeowner.

Lindsey sized them up and assumed that they were a couple. The man was a bit bald and had a large beer belly, but the woman was well-maintained. However, she looked a little haggard, probably from crying for a long time.

When the door opened, the woman first intended to confront them, but she was pulled back by the man, so she kept quiet.

The couple looked at Allie with a pleading look on their faces and the man said, "Mrs. Guggenheim, my name is Kai Emerson, Chairman of the Emerson Corporation. Ian Emerson is my son. Please be merciful and let my son off the hook. Please, I beg you."

When he said this, the woman next to him cooperated by crying, "Mrs. Guggenheim, Ian is still young, he’s still a kid and didn’t mean to offend you. I beg you to be merciful and let him go."

It was a wonder that she could cry like this yet still be able to say all this so eloquently.

Allie looked at them helplessly and glanced back at Lindsey, then she silently stood to the side.

Kai Emerson did not know what was happening and looked carefully at the two ladies before it dawned on him that they had identified the wrong person.

Lindsey was dressed casually in a hoodie. Aside from her face, there was nothing special about her. Allie, on the other hand, was dressed head to toe in luxury labels, which at first glance, matched the identity of the Guggenheim empire’s lady boss.

Seeing their embarrassed faces, Lindsey was frank because the couple had made their intentions clear.

"Mr. and Mrs. Emerson, I wasn’t the one who called the police, so you shouldn't be looking for me. I’m sorry, but I can't help you."

Kai's face was spouting cold sweat as he looked back at Zayn. His voice trembled as he said, "Mr. Guggenheim..."

The person who sent him the message did not say that Zayn also lived here. That person told him that Zayn's wife was living alone.

Zayn did not even glance at him and walked straight to Lindsey. His voice was low and gentle as he asked, “Are you alright?”

When Lindsey saw him, she somehow let her guard down and even felt a little aggrieved in her heart. This feeling seemed foreign to Lindsey. She nodded and said, "I'm fine."

Only then did Zayn look at the Emersons.

Mrs. Emerson's ferocity and madness earlier had long disappeared and she looked at the young chap apprehensively.

"Why are you two looking for my wife?"

Lindsey froze when she heard the word, “wife”. Allie also raised her eyes to look at the man's towering back. Standing behind such a person and being protected by him must make her feel very secure, right?

Kai recently suffered a double blow at home and the company. These were all thanks to the man in front of him, so he did not dare to underestimate this young chap.

"Mr. Guggenheim, we’ve worked well together for so many years. I'm not asking you for anything else, but can you please be so kind as to release Ian? He’s young and doesn’t know what’s good for him. After this, I promise he won’t ever dare to make such mistakes again. Mr. Guggenheim, please, I'm begging you."

Kai was very humble and polite, which was different from how he was in front of Lindsey earlier. This time, he lowered his voice drastically.

Next to him, Mrs. Emerson wanted to say something, but he pulled her sleeve and stopped her. She then swallowed her words with some reluctance.
