Forced Into Marriage: My Husband’s Too Mean novel Chapter 533

Mrs. Wendy had a tray in her hand and put it next to Lindsey's computer. "You haven't eaten much tonight. I just made some cinnamon rolls, so you can eat some."

Lindsey actually did not have much appetite, but she did not want to refuse Mrs. Wendy’s good intentions, so she said, "Just leave it here. I'll eat it when it cools a little."

After saying that, Lindsey thought that Mrs. Wendy would leave, but she did not. Lindsey looked away from the computer and turned to Mrs. Wendy. "What's wrong?"

Mrs. Wendy rubbed the hem of her apron as if she did not know how to say this. Only when she saw Lindsey looking at her curiously did she finally speak up.

"When I picked Dezi up from school today with Sieben, Dezi said goodbye to his teacher, then a man came out of nowhere and asked me if Dezi is my grandson. I was stunned for a moment and said yes, then he told me that the boy is really cute and asked which class he’s in. I was in a hurry to get home and left after a few short replies. The more I thought about it, the more I felt that something was off."

When it came to Dezi, Lindsey became tense. "What’s off?"

"That man was in his early thirties and looked like he was also there to pick up the kids, but at that time when I picked Dezi up, he didn’t look inside for his own kid and kept asking about Dezi instead. Also, that man doesn’t look familiar."

Lindsey’s brows were slightly furrowed and some doubt flashed in her eyes. “I’ll leave work half an hour earlier next time to pick Dezi up from school. Don’t worry, maybe that man was just asking casually.”

After reassuring Mrs. Wendy and watching her leave the room, Lindsey let her mind wander.

Dezi’s identity was not a secret, but it had been so long, and even Ann, who had been hostile to her, had not made much noise. So why would a stranger suddenly inquire about Dezi?

Lindsey kept trying to console herself that the man might just be asking casually, but she could not put her heart at ease for some reason.

After all, this was about the child’s safety, so Lindsey approached Shaun the next day and left half an hour early in the evening to get to the kindergarten before Dezi got out of school to pick him up.

However, it seemed that they were overreacting and that the man that day was just casually asking about Dezi. That was because Lindsey went for several days in a row and did not find anything unusual.

Lindsey took a vacation during Dezi's kindergarten holiday so that they could spend more time together. Gradually, Lindsey completely put this little episode to the back of her mind.

However, there was another little episode that took form in her life.

Lindsey kept getting invites from Mitchell Wadleigh. He asked Lindsey out about once a week, each time with a valid reason, like some ballet company that came to town or a new store that his friend had opened. Lindsey went a few times out of respect, but after she found out that Mitchell was romantically interested in her, she refused to go again.

Mitchell did not give up and would send her flowers from time to time.

Since Lindsey knew that Mitchell was interested in her, she did not want to lead him on and found ways to reject him.

After all, she was a divorcee and had such a big kid. It was not that Lindsey was belittling herself, but she felt that they were not suited for each other.

Mrs. Wendy was busy in the kitchen with her face glowing with happiness. Shaun, the President of a public-listed company, was also in the tiny kitchen giving her a hand. After a while, they could all smell Mrs. Wendy’s delicious cooking.

The city did not allow fireworks, but while it was silent outside, the warmth inside the house was infectious.

"Hey, it's snowing!" Just after dinner, Quentin was playing with Dezi and Sieben when he suddenly pointed out the window and shouted. Lindsey was cleaning up the table with Mrs. Wendy at that time. When she heard this, she held two glasses of water and walked over to the window. It was indeed snowing, and it looked pretty heavy.

‘I wonder how Zayn is celebrating abroad today...’

His name suddenly popped up in her mind and Lindsey realized that they had not seen each other in a long time since the cocktail party.

Earlier, Mrs. Wendy looked like she was enjoying herself, but she secretly sighed a few times probably because she was thinking about Zayn. She watched Zayn grow up, so on a day that was their family tradition to celebrate together, Zayn was far away in another country and perhaps even forgot that it was Valentine’s Day.

Quentin, who was sitting on the side, saw that no one was paying attention to him and sneakily took a few pictures of Lindsey.

The sky was already dark outside. Lindsey stood by the window wearing a small pink apron and looked out of the window with unblinking eyes. She looked so peaceful standing there.

Quentin smiled mischievously as he scrolled through the photos of their food and the photos he took with Dezi, Sieben, and Mrs. Wendy. He then sent these pictures as well as the ones he just took of Lindsey to a group chat with only three people inside.
