Forced Into Marriage: My Husband’s Too Mean novel Chapter 546

Lindsey covered her mouth. “I...I've never seen him before. I've never even heard of his name before he asked us to cooperate. Dezi’s still so young, so he wouldn’t have any ties to this man. Why is he following us then?”

After that, Lindsey stared at Shaun. "Is he responsible for Dezi's disappearance?"

Shaun shook his head. "We still can’t be sure, but he’s the biggest suspect."

Lindsey somehow thought about all the gory and serial killer horror movies. The more she thought about it, the paler she became.

Zayn did not stare at Lindsey the entire time. Somehow, he sensed that Lindsey was thinking about something and lowered his head to look at her, then stroked her head. “Don’t overthink things. Dezi will be fine.”

Lindsey could not help but glance at him. Zayn was against the light. His dark eyes were somehow so reassuring that Lindsey unconsciously felt comforted.

She knew that it was useless to cry and blame anyone for Dezi’s disappearance. When Lindsey had completely calmed down, it was already midnight.

Zayn and Shaun’s people were frantically searching for Arthur's information while another team was searching for Dezi’s whereabouts.

Atlantic City was big and the other party was deliberately hiding their tracks, so it was like looking for a needle in a haystack. Lindsey looked at Zayn’s side profile and wanted to say something, but stopped.

"What do you want to say?" Finally, after she swallowed her words and withdrew her gaze, Zayn turned and asked her. Her eyes were red and swollen from crying so much, and Zayn could see his tiny reflection inside.

Lindsey pressed her lips together and averted her gaze as she said softly, “I know it’s wrong for me to say this, but your fiancee, Ann, has targeted me a few times before. She even got someone to harass Dezi when he was at school, so I have reason to suspect her.”

By the end of it, Lindsey lifted her head and looked at Zayn with burning eyes, but found that Zayn's face was cold.

It made sense. Although Zayn was gently comforting Lindsey earlier, Ann was still his fiancee. Lindsey just felt a sudden sadness.

It was probably because Lindsey was too emotional, so this sadness was triggered by Zayn’s cold look earlier.

Zayn just looked at Lindsey like that without saying a word for a long time. Yvette, who was sitting on the side, perked up her ears as she was afraid that the two of them would get into a fight again.

The last time Lindsey hid in a corner alone and cried secretly after drinking too much was still fresh in Yvette’s mind.

However, after watching for a while, the look on Zayn's face suddenly changed. It was a rather self-deprecating expression, then he said word by word, "She wouldn’t dare!"

Lindsey frowned. "How would you know?"

She just stared at him unblinkingly as if she did not understand why Zayn would have such confidence that Ann was not behind this. “You didn’t even investigate her, so how are you so sure that it’s not her?”

Zayn looked at Lindsey’s agitated face and sighed a little. He could not possibly tell Lindsey that he had people watching Ann’s every move because this would just make Lindsey even more confused.

However, he did not want Lindsey to misunderstand the situation.

Lindsey was frozen in place and did not get to push Zayn away. ‘Was Zayn aware of what he just did?’

The good thing was that although Zayn was impulsive, he still had some sense and did not get so mad that he completely forgot where he was now. He kissed Lindsey for a while before he let her go. There was some anger under his eyes as he said, "Try saying another word."

Lindsey just looked at him dumbfounded and did not know what Zayn was up to.

‘What is this? It’s fine if we hugged, but we even kissed...and in such a situation?’ Lindsey did not even have the strength to get mad at Zayn, nor did she feel any joy in it.

She was completely silenced and Zayn somehow achieved his purpose. Zayn just looked to the side with his head slightly tilted, then said, "I'm going to make a call." He then walked over to the window.

Lindsey subconsciously looked at his back and felt that Zayn was just running away from the situation.

‘It must be an illusion.’

Outside the window, there were only a few lights lit up from the apartment block opposite them. It was a quiet night and it had been several hours since Dezi went missing.

However, there were not many useful leads, so the search was pretty slow.

Lindsey's attention was only on Zayn for a short moment before it was quickly thrown back to Dezi. She was worried, scared, and terrified. Her heart was tormented by her concern for Dezi's safety.
