Forced Into Marriage: My Husband’s Too Mean novel Chapter 499

The guests around them looked at the invitation on the ground and pointed at Ann.

This way, if something ever happened to Dezi in the future, the first person everyone would suspect was Ann. Ann thought, ‘Damn it! I was still looking for a chance to get at this child, but I didn't think that Lindsey would be so unscrupulous. She’s truly crazy!’

Lindsey held Dezi's hand tightly without saying anything and coldly snorted. Her attitude said it all.

Ann wanted to say something else, but Zayn, who had been watching the drama, suddenly spoke coldly from the side, “That's enough!”

The rest of Ann's words were forced back by him.

Zayn swept over Ann’s exquisite face, then looked at Lindsey. His voice suddenly softened as he said, "Keep an eye on the child."

It was just a reminder that others did not care for, but to Ann, it somehow sounded like a warning.

Ann’s nails sunk into her palm and she did not bother Lindsey anymore. She just hugged Zayn’s arm and swung it gently as she whined, “Zayn, do you believe me?”

She stared closely at the man's eyes as she said that, trying to see any hidden emotions inside.

"Of course, I believe you." Zayn lowered his eyes, picked up the glass of wine from the tray in the waiter's hands, and gently took a sip. He then smoothly took his arm out from under Ann's hand and reached out to pat her on the shoulder. "But today is our engagement ceremony, so let’s not spoil the mood."

Lindsey coldly watched this couple interact in front of her, then reached out and pressed down on Shaun’s hand that was itching to punch Zayn. Her eyes still fell on those two, but her words were addressed to Shaun. "Brother, I'm a little tired. Since we've already delivered the gift, let's go home."

As she said that, she held Dezi's hand and was ready to leave. Dezi, who had been very quiet this whole time, looked at Zayn longingly.

Zayn clenched his fingers and waved at Dezi. Dezi looked at Ann, who was beside Zayn, and scrunched his nose. He did not go over to Zayn and just smiled sweetly at him. Then, he held Lindsey’s hand.

After getting Dezi’s answer, Lindsey did not bother about those two and walked out with Dezi.

The engagement ceremony had not yet officially started, but the guests had already seen such a big show in advance and felt like this trip was certainly worthwhile.

Everyone was most shocked by Lindsey. Ann had always been charming yet irksome. After seeing Ann interacting with Lindsey a few times, Ann always ended up on the losing end and was always rendered speechless.

They thought that Lindsey would be upset now that she was no longer Mrs. Guggenheim, but when they saw her again, she looked so stunning and the presence of her child did not diminish her charm in any way. In contrast, they looked so good together.

Moreover, Zayn's attitude today was also very intriguing.

Some people were staring at Lindsey's sexy back as she left, and their lustful eyes caught by Zayn, which made him unconsciously clench his fists.

The engagement party went on in an orderly manner and Lindsey's figure soon disappeared from the hall.

"I never want to see those two people standing together ever again! It's too repulsive!" As soon as they walked out, Shaun could not help but say, "I really feel so annoyed when I see Zayn."

Suddenly, his trousers were tugged. Shaun lowered his head and saw Dezi looking at him with pursed lips.

Shaun gently touched Dezi’s head. "You’re mad at me because of this?!"

His voice was full of incredulity, but when he saw Dezi's stubborn eyes, Shaun finally reached out and gently slapped his own mouth. "Fine, Uncle Shaun shouldn't say bad things about others in front of little kids."

Shaun willingly played along with her contradictory self. He smiled and nodded. "Fine, it's all my fault. I’ll treat you to a better cake later, okay?"

"That's more like it." Yvette nodded haughtily.

Shaun turned to look at Lindsey. "It's still early, so you and Dezi should join us."

Lindsey did not want to be the third wheel for this couple. She shook her head and reached out to pick Dezi up. "Nah, you guys have fun."

"Lindsey, just come with us!" Yvette was petulant and took Lindsey’s arm, then swung it gently. She looked at Dezi and said, "Little Dezi hasn’t eaten anything all afternoon, so let’s go for a nice meal!"

Yvette sounded eager and was petulant when Lindsey refused. Sometimes, even women could not refuse another woman’s pleas.

In the end, Lindsey was unable to refuse the two of them and reluctantly followed them to the car.

......

Upstairs on the terrace.

"President!" Quentin suddenly shouted.

Zayn turned around and shot him a look. Quentin immediately whimpered and said, "Everyone’s looking for you downstairs. Why did you come here?"

As he said that, Quentin stretched out his neck and peered downstairs. “Oh, they just left.”
