Forced Into Marriage: My Husband’s Too Mean novel Chapter 438

Zayn turned his head. Yvette looked at him with a frightened face and looked very apologetic. "I'm sorry, Zayn. I didn't mean to."

Since she had already apologized, Zayn was not bothered. He was not someone who liked to dwell on such small matters anyway.

"It's okay."

On the contrary, Ann, who was standing beside him, swept her gaze over Yvette. A smile that made people uncomfortable appeared on her face. "Ms. Wendell, you’re too careless."

Yvette smiled apologetically at Zayn. "There’s a guest room at the back. I'll have someone send over a set of clothes for you so you can get changed."

Zayn nodded and went in the direction Yvette pointed at with a maid.

As soon as he left, Yvette walked up to Ann with an empty wine glass and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear. "It’s none of your f*cking business."

"You..."

Ann's words were cut off by Yvette. "Hey, don't get too agitated. Look, your face is crooked."

After saying that, Yvette flashed a harmless smile and sashayed away.

Ann clenched her teeth, but she could only watch as Yvette left. After all, they were at the Wendell mansion.

Zayn followed one of the maids at the mansion to a guest room upstairs. The maid nodded to him. "This is the guest room. Mr. Guggenheim, you can go in first. We’ll send you a change of clothes later."

He nodded and pushed the door open. When he was about to enter, he suddenly noticed that something was wrong. He jerked his head up and met Lindsey’s eyes.

The two of them looked at each other for a few seconds. Zayn was against the light, so Lindsey could not see the look on his face clearly. He should probably be a little surprised. Lindsey had a feeling that Zayn was about to leave, so she quickly said, “Zayn, stop right there!”

The man raised his leg and gently put it back down. Lindsey walked up to him and reached out to grab his arm, pulling him into the room. She then closed the door.

She looked firmly at Zayn. "Let's talk."

Zayn did not show much emotion. He just stared at Lindsey and suddenly said, “What about the parent-child event?”

Lindsey did not understand what he was saying. "What?"

Zayn snorted and looked impatient. “Isn’t Dezi supposed to have a parent-child event today?”

"Oh, that..." Lindsey said with little concern, "I asked Quentin to lie to you."

Zayn licked his lips and his eyes were surprisingly a bit sinister at that moment. "Quentin...he’s a great assistant, huh?"

In fact, Zayn had already guessed that this was a trap from the time he saw Lindsey. It was just hard on Lindsey to get so many people to help her. Even his personal assistant had changed allegiance.

Zayn's lips moved a little. He took a deep breath and slowly exhaled as he clenched his fingers. "Do you want me to make it more clear for you?"

"Then say it!" Lindsey stared at him as she shook with anger. "Tell me! Give me a reason to give up on you. Give me a valid reason to sign my name on that divorce agreement!"

Zayn looked at her increasingly cold expression. He turned away and used all his strength to suppress his urge to hug her. He looked up to the ceiling to focus his mind, then closed and opened his eyes repeatedly.

His fists were clenched at his side and he could hear the cracking of his knuckles.

He exhaled deeply, but the weight on his chest was not relieved and grew heavier. "You want a reason? Then...I don't love you anymore. Is this reason enough?"

Zayn sounded calm. It was because he was so calm that it hurt her even more.

Lindsey stood there dumbfounded. She did not know how to respond to that. She was stunned for a moment, like some absurd conjecture in her heart was confirmed. She was not even shocked, just dejected.

Zayn’s usually deep voice sounded a little hoarse as he said, "I don’t love you anymore, so I want a divorce. Is this enough? If it's not enough, then I'll tell you that I’ve never loved you. Is that enough for you? I was only nice to you because you were pregnant with my child, but now, that child is gone. Look, the only reason for me to accommodate you being my wife is gone. Why should I tolerate a woman I don't love as my wife? I..."

"That's enough!" Lindsey’s eyes lost focus as she looked ahead. Her eyes were red and watery. She spoke, but it sounded like someone else was speaking instead, "So...that's the real reason."

"You should’ve said so earlier." Lindsey smiled dismally and raised her eyes to look at Zayn. "If you’d have told me earlier, I would’ve let you go sooner. I'm really sorry that you had to tolerate living with a woman you don't love for such a long time."
