Forced Into Marriage: My Husband’s Too Mean novel Chapter 482

"There will be a marriage alliance between Denarius and S.P. Corporation soon," Shaun looked at Lindsey and said word by word.

Lindsey did not react and had an absurd conjecture. "Denarius only has Zayn, so who’s going to fulfill this marriage alliance with S.P.?"

After she said that, Lindsey finally returned to her senses and abruptly closed her mouth. The look on her face gradually turned into a cold and incredulous expression. "Brother, what exactly do you mean?"

"It means that..." Shaun touched the tip of his nose and avoided Lindsey's gaze. "Zayn and Ann are getting married."

"No way!" Lindsey subconsciously retorted. Only after she said that did she realize that her tone was somewhat stern. Even Dezi, who was playing on the side, lifted his head to look at her.

The pain in her chest felt like she had just suffered a heavy blow. Her brain became a little numb. Lindsey smiled at Dezi with difficulty. "It's okay. Mommy’s just talking to Uncle Shaun."

She gulped and folded her arms together. She then propped up her chin with one hand and looked a little lost. All the various emotions surged in her, making her look confused and dazed.

Shaun looked at her worriedly. "Are you okay?"

Lindsey hurriedly waved her hand. Her mouth trembled but she failed to utter a single word.

As if knowing what she wanted to ask, Shaun said, "I just got the news. I don’t think it’s fake."

In fact, Shaun was very certain that this was real.

When he first learned about it, he was shocked and was torn about whether to tell Lindsey about it before he decided to make the trip here.

"I think this news will be dominating the headlines in the next two days, so I hope that you can be mentally prepared." Shaun calmly said to Lindsey, "Moreover, this doesn’t mean anything. Zayn might have some sort of purpose for..."

"Brother, it’s okay." Lindsey interrupted him. "When we first got divorced, I thought so too."

She let out a bitter and absurd laugh as she stared into a corner of the living room. "But every single thing...everything he did just pushed me further and further away...and I really can't see that he was forced to do so. Do you get it?"

In the end, Lindsey clenched her fists tightly, as if this would give her some strength. "I shouldn’t have those unrealistic fantasies, so this is good too. At least I can completely give up on him now."

Her reaction was much calmer than Shaun had expected. She did not cry nor make a fuss. She was just incredibly calm.

However, this made Shaun more worried. At the same time, he was cursing Zayn in his heart.

He would rather Lindsey have some sort of reaction, whether it was crying, scolding, or making a scene, just not like this. Lindsey had a coldness in her like she did not have any expectation. Sometimes, she was like a lifeless doll.

However, emotional scars were not something that others could cure for her.

Shaun was right. The next day, news of the impending engagement between the President of Denarius and the President of S.P. Corporation’s North American region dominated the headlines in Atlantic City.

Lindsey, a person who was not keen on all kinds of current affairs, also saw it inevitably several times.

Seeing the couple that looked like a match made in heaven, Lindsey did not even have the strength to laugh.

Little Dezi shook his head.

Lindsey patiently explained to him, "It's a very special relationship..."

She spent half an hour explaining to Dezi what marriage was before she finally said, "Daddy and Mommy got divorced, so we won't live together anymore, but you’re still our baby. Daddy and Mommy will always love you. Do you understand?"

The little one in her arms nodded, then shook his head again. Lindsey gritted her teeth. "You'll understand when you're a little older."

Dezi looked at her. After a long time, he pointed at the TV again.

The black screen reflected their figures. Lindsey understood what he meant and took a deep breath before saying, "That's Daddy and another woman that you saw. They will get married soon. That’s why we can't live with Daddy anymore because that Auntie will be staying with Daddy and we’ll disturb them."

Lindsey could never have imagined that the day she described herself as a disturbance to Zayn would be like this.

The pair of glistening big eyes in her arms just a moment ago was now welling up with tears.

Lindsey’s heart shook violently. Before she said anything, Dezi blinked and his tears rolled down his cheeks.

He could not speak and cried without making a sound, but it was still heart-wrenching to watch.

Lindsey panicked and scrambled to help Dezi wipe away his tears. The sadness and grievance that she suppressed seemed to overwhelm her, making it impossible for her to calm down.
