Forced Into Marriage: My Husband’s Too Mean novel Chapter 442

Quentin stopped in his tracks and stood three meters away from Zayn. He avoided the man's gaze and pretended to look at the pattern on the carpet. "President, you asked me to pay close attention to S.P. Corporation's market trends lately. They’ve been growing during this time until last night. They suddenly stopped."

Zayn retracted his gaze. His cold voice was raspy from staying up all night. He gave a faint "mm", then rubbed his brow and continued, "Later, spread the news of my divorce."

Hearing his words, Quentin’s heart sank and he looked hesitant. Zayn saw through his thoughts, stood up, and walked barefoot to Quentin. He reeked of alcohol and his dark eyes were cold as he said in a flat voice, "Just do as I say."

Quentin wanted to nod, but Zayn’s phone on the bar counter suddenly beeped. The man that was as cold as an iceberg suddenly revealed an indescribable expression as he quickly went over to pick up the phone.

If Quentin had to use words to describe Zayn's expression earlier, it would probably be a mixture of struggle, pain, and anticipation.

However, the person who sent the message was not the one he was hoping for.

When Zayn saw the contents of the message, the little bit of light in his eyes quickly darkened.

Quentin pretended not to see anything and was just about to leave when he heard Zayn's voice that was colder than earlier calling out to him, "Wait."

Zayn threw his phone on the bar counter and did not look at Quentin. He just walked to the bathroom and said, “Don’t spread the news yet. Go out with me later.”

In just a few minutes, Zayn's attitude changed drastically. It was obviously because of that message earlier, which made Quentin even more curious about who the sender was.

However, he soon found out.

After Zayn washed up and got dressed, he did not look the slightest bit hungover. Rather, he was glowing. Quentin finally believed that all people were not born equal.

"Let's go."

Zayn did not say where they were going. Usually, Quentin would not take the initiative to ask. After Zayn instructed the driver to go to Denarius, Quentin’s face lit up. "President?"

"Let's go." Zayn reached out and propped his forehead on his hand. He looked a little tired. He closed his eyes and did not seem like he was in the mood to explain too much.

However, Quentin already understood what this meant. Denarius was caught in a scandal and even dragged Zayn into it. The company was under investigation for more than a month. Even after Zayn was released, he was helpless. Going to the office all of a sudden only meant that the police investigation finally came to fruition.

Lindsey sent Dezi to school with huge dark circles under her eyes. She stayed at the entrance of the kindergarten to talk with him for a long time before watching him walk inside.

The entrance to the kindergarten was filled with parents who sent their children to school. There were some mothers and some fathers. Some kids were as well-behaved as Dezi, while some were crying as their parents patiently comforted them.

Lindsey stood and watched for a while. She waited until the kindergarten bell rang and there were no more people before she turned around and walked back.

The kindergarten was just a few hundred meters away from Jade Garden, so it was not that far to walk back.

She said as she wiped her tears and added, "I know this is your private matters. After all, I’m just a servant and can’t tell you what to do, but Zayn, I’ve watched you grow up. You...you...sigh..."

Mrs. Wendy finished speaking and let out a long sigh. She looked up and suddenly saw Lindsey standing there.

"Lindsey, you’re back?" Mrs. Wendy looked at the clock on the wall. Only then did she realize that she and Zayn had been talking for a bit too long.

The call was disconnected when Zayn heard Mrs. Wendy calling Lindsey’s name. Mrs. Wendy put the phone away and Lindsey pretended not to notice anything. She just smiled and nodded.

Lindsey suddenly thought of something and said to her, "By the way, I have something I want to discuss with you."

"What is it?"

Lindsey changed her shoes and went over to sit by Mrs. Wendy. "I have an apartment in Opal Suites. Originally, I wanted to move there after we moved out of the mansion, but at that time, considering you, Soren, and Sieben, I chose to come here. Now that Soren and Sieben have gone back, I think I’d like to move back to Opal Suites. If you want to, the three of us should have no problem living there."

Opal Suites was an apartment, which was not as big as the Jade Garden villa or the Guggenheim mansion. Lindsey wanted Mrs. Wendy to consider this again since Mrs. Wendy had been staying in the Guggenheim mansion for so long that it was practically her home. Now that Mrs. Wendy was following her and Dezi, although Mrs. Wendy did not mention it, she would definitely feel some discomfort.

When Mrs. Wendy heard this, she did not look like she wanted to go back to the mansion. Instead, she looked at Lindsey apprehensively and said, “I was afraid that you can’t handle raising a kid on your own. If you think that I’ll bother you and Dezi, then I won’t follow you when you move.”
