Forced Into Marriage: My Husband’s Too Mean novel Chapter 425

Lindsey actually wanted to ask him, "I miss you too. Did you miss me?" However, she did not ask this in front of Dezi.

That was because after Zayn had regained his freedom, his attitude towards her twice over the phone was very strange. He was just indifferent.

After saying that, Zayn did not say anything else. Lindsey was mad at him, so she said coldly, "Then goodbye."

"Mm."

The usually short journey felt extraordinarily long today. Even Dezi could see that Lindsey was a little distracted on the road and looked at her with worry.

To comfort Dezi and to distract herself, Lindsey explained softly, "Daddy’s waiting for us at home. Are you excited?"

She forced out a smile. Even if Dezi was a little genius, he was not old enough to learn how to read people's expressions. He happily wiggled his short little legs on the seat and held Lindsey's hand. He nodded incessantly and smiled to reveal his pearly whites.

"Dezi, do you love Daddy?" Lindsey suddenly blurted out without thinking.

The little person beside her nodded heavily, then he looked at Lindsey again and reached out to hug her arm. The look on his face was clearly saying, "I love Mommy more."

Lindsey's heart instantly melted.

When they got to the entrance of Jade Garden, Lindsey could already see a black MPV parked in the courtyard from afar. It was the car that Quentin usually drove.

Lindsey felt a dull pain in her heart that caught her off guard. She pressed her chest slightly to relieve the pain. Then, she held Dezi’s hand as they got out of the car.

Dezi was very excited. He shrugged off Lindsey’s hand and ran into the house. Lindsey was stunned. She was afraid that he would fall and hurriedly chased after him.

When she went in, she saw Dezi jumping into Zayn's arms. Zayn reached out to catch him with a doting face.

"Have you been good these days? Did you listen to Mommy?" The man's low voice sounded like a pleasant cello tune.

Little Dezi nodded and leaned his head on Zayn’s chest. Zayn gently stroked his head before he looked up, just in time to see Lindsey standing dumbfounded at the door.

The smile on his face instantly faded and his tone became dull. "You’re back."

Lindsey's overjoyed heart was hammered by such a dull tone and all the joy in her instantly vanished. She moved the corners of her mouth and pulled out a somewhat stiff smile. "Mm, when did you arrive?"

She pretended that nothing was wrong and walked over to sit down opposite Zayn. She lowered her head and fixed her gaze on Dezi, who was still clueless. She also ignored the man's scrutinizing gaze.

"I arrived not long ago."

Lindsey nodded and was silent. There was an awkward tension between the two of them like they were strangers.

At this time, Mrs. Wendy came out from the kitchen. She smiled so brightly and was clearly elated. "You’re all back! Just wait a little longer, dinner will be ready soon."

Zayn let go of Dezi and let him play on the side. He gestured for Mrs. Wendy to take it easy. "I’m not staying for dinner."

Shortly after, he looked at Lindsey again and straightened out his cuffs. He then took a document handed over by Quentin, who was behind him, and said, "Sign this."

"What’s this?" Lindsey raised her eyebrows at Zayn and did not take the document from him.

She stretched out her hand and slowly reached for the light blue folder on the table. The moment she touched it, she wanted to withdraw her hand, but she still firmly picked it up.

Her hands were shaking, but she held it in front of her and opened it slowly like she was opening Pandora's Box.

The words, "divorce agreement", on the top stung Lindsey's eyes.

Lindsey did not even read the contents on the few pages because her eyes were blurred. She only saw Zayn’s signature at the bottom of the last page.

As always, his penmanship was sharp, as if it could cut her.

"Why?"

Sieben had already taken Dezi out to play. Lindsey clutched the folder in her hand and only looked up at Zayn's eyes after a long time.

Only then did Zayn withdraw his gaze. He glanced at Lindsey with complex emotions in his eyes. Lindsey was in a trance for a while, but she was quickly awakened by the deep iciness in the man’s eyes.

The man in front of her, whose face was engraved in Lindsey’s mind, was expressionless. His thin lips parted as he spoke indifferently, "Why? You’re actually asking me why? Why don’t you look at yourself? What did you do during my absence?"

"What did I do?" Lindsey stared at Zayn. "Look me in the eyes, Zayn. Tell me, what did I do during the time you were gone?"

Lindsey was so agitated that she stood up and looked down at Zayn with doubt, disbelief, and deep, intense pain in her eyes.

"You know what you've done. I don't want to say more. Just hurry up and sign this." Zayn waved his hand and did not want to speak anymore.
