Forced Into Marriage: My Husband’s Too Mean novel Chapter 414

"We can’t wait until then." Lindsey emphasized again, "Zayn didn’t commit a crime. We must find a way."

Mr. Zurek was the top lawyer in the industry. If he could say this, it meant that Zayn was indeed in a pickle.

"Take it easy for now." Shaun looked back at Lindsey. He was not in a hurry to drive. He looked at Lindsey's nervous face and comforted her. "Things haven’t reached that point, so don’t scare yourself just yet."

Lindsey wanted to say that they had nothing to hide and the truth would come out eventually. However, Zayn had gotten into such a horrible situation without a warning, so she did not believe that anymore.

Things had come to a dead end.

Shaun sent her back to her temporary residence and pointed to a villa next door. "I’m staying over there. Call me anytime if you need anything."

Lindsey looked in the direction he was pointing. She remembered that Shaun used to live alone in his apartment. She did not know if it was because of this incident that he had moved here.

"Alright, go inside." Shaun stroked Lindsey's head. "Don't worry, I’ll help you think of a way. Rest early."

Lindsey nodded and smiled at him. "You should rest early too."

After Shaun left, Lindsey turned around and slowly walked back.

Mrs. Wendy was standing at the door waiting for her. When she saw Lindsey, she hurriedly greeted her. "Madam, the Young Master is throwing a tantrum and can’t be coaxed."

Lindsey hastily suppressed her emotions and asked anxiously, "Is Dezi not feeling well?"

"No."

The child was usually very well behaved. At first, he did not like people getting close to him. Over time, after he got familiar with others, although he still did not speak, he could still communicate with gestures and did not reject them. Dezi was even willing to let Mrs. Wendy help him get dressed and take a bath.

Little Dezi rarely got emotional and hardly ever cried. He would only make some trouble when he was very upset.

In the past two days, Lindsey knew that she had neglected him a bit. She hurried upstairs and saw Soren and Sieben standing at the door of Dezi’s bedroom, looking at the closed bedroom door in front of them rather helplessly.

Seeing Lindsey, Soren sighed and said, "Madam, the Young Master seems to be upset."

While Lindsey was not here, Sieben and Dezi played together with Soren watching over them. After playing for a while, Dezi suddenly threw the small plane in his hand and ran upstairs. He had not come out of his room ever since.

Sieben looked at Lindsey with some apprehension. "Lindsey, does he not like to play with me?"

There were tears under her eyes. Sieben was particularly sensitive. Lindsey reached out and patted her head. “Of course not! Dezi just misses his Mommy, so he’s upset. He really likes you, Sieben.”

After saying that, Lindsey knocked gently on the closed door and said as softly as she could, "Dezi, it's Mommy. Can you open the door please?"

Lindsey held her breath for a moment. Her phone's lock screen had a photo of Dezi and Zayn.

It was a candid photo that Lindsey took when they went to the children’s playground last time. Dezi was smiling happily while Zayn held him tightly in his arms. However, Zayn was looking at Lindsey with a tender gaze.

Lindsey loved this photo so much that she set it as her lock screen’s wallpaper.

Dezi’s meaning was very clear, “Where’s Daddy?”

When Lindsey did not answer him, Dezi tapped on the screen again. He even made a sound like he wanted to speak, but no words came out.

Lindsey did not notice this. She squatted down and looked into his eyes. "Dezi, do you miss Daddy? Daddy has to go out for a few days. He’ll be back after that. Do you understand?"

Dezi nodded, then shook his head a moment later. Lindsey sighed in her heart. "When Daddy comes back, he’ll look for us, then Mommy will get him to play with you, okay? It’s Mommy’s fault for not waking you up when Daddy left."

Little Dezi shook his head. This time, he moved his mouth again. He pursed his little lips and looked very serious, then reached out and pointed around the room. He also pointed outside.

Lindsey froze for a moment before she realized that since the time Zayn was arrested until now, she had only been thinking of ways to save Zayn and Denarius, but she had forgotten to explain to Dezi why they could not live at their old house anymore. They even had to move to a place that was completely unfamiliar to Dezi.

Lindsey’s throat was dry. She stroked Dezi’s head and tried to suppress the emotions in her eyes. She spoke with difficulty, “Something happened to our house, so we need to fix it. This is your uncle's house. We’ll live in Uncle's house for a while. When Daddy comes back, we can go back home. Don’t worry, okay?"
