Forced Into Marriage: My Husband’s Too Mean novel Chapter 615

Although this phone was exactly the same as Lindsey’s previous one, it was a brand new phone, not the one she had before.

When Lindsey first woke up, she did not even notice the difference because the phone already came with her old number and her wallpaper was a photo of her and Dezi. Even the apps she normally used and their placement was the same as before.

However, this brand new phone was still a little different from a phone that was aged. Even if Lindsey was slow, she had figured it out by now.

Zayn already drove them to the city center. There was heavy traffic and their surroundings looked vibrant. Lindsey clutched her phone, then waved it at Zayn. “You changed this for me?”

He did not deny it and let out a short “mm”. He then explained, “Your previous one was broken.”

Lindsey wanted to ask him if he changed her wallpaper and how did he know about her usual preference for the app placements.

However, those questions only festered in her heart. In the end, she only managed to say, "Thanks, I'll pay you back later." Her polite tone made it seem like they were ordinary friends.

Unfortunately, her politeness always provoked Zayn. The man sneered and suddenly slammed on the brakes.

Lindsey's body jerked forward from the momentum, and she was pulled back by the seatbelt. She let out a muffled grunt.

She blinked and finally came back to her senses. Zayn had turned to look at her at some point. He was staring at her motionlessly with a glum face.

"What are you doing?" Lindsey was startled by him and spoke rather impulsively.

Zayn could not help but lean over and instantly closed the distance between the two of them. "You want to pay me?"

Lindsey instantly widened her eyes, but she could not avoid him, so she could only endure it as the man's breath surrounded her.

She was rendered speechless by Zayn’s sudden approach. Zayn paused for a few seconds after he said that and suddenly sat upright again. He straightened out his perfectly ironed cuffs and lightly said, “Fine, then pay me for my services last night.”

Lindsey's eyes that were already wide open bulged even more, which made it seem like her eyes were about to pop out of their sockets.

She could never imagine that one day, she would hear such words coming from Zayn Guggenheim. She could not help but ask, "Zayn Guggenheim, what do you think you are?"

After saying that, Lindsey realized what she had implied, but she could not take it back even if she wanted to since she already blurted them out.

The man snorted coldly with a hint of anger. "What kind of person do you take me for?"

"I..." Lindsey could not speak and finally managed to say, "I didn't take you for anything..."

Zayn gave her another cold snort and did not speak again. Lindsey thought that he would get mad. After a while, she realized that he only snorted.

Since he was not angry, Lindsey’s tone turned soft. "I didn’t mean anything else. It’s just that I should pay you back for my new phone."

Lindsey knew that a smartphone was nothing to Zayn. Zayn knew that Lindsey still had something to say, so he waited patiently.

After a few seconds of silence, Lindsey gritted her teeth and finished the rest of her sentence, "You...you helped me a lot. What happened last night..."

Lindsey was stuck as soon as she said this. After preparing herself for so long, she still found it difficult to speak. Finally, she just went along with it. "I was drugged and delirious. I...I...let's just pretend that it never happened. Yup, just like that."

Since they both decided to pretend that it never happened, the awkward atmosphere seemed to be somewhat lifted. Zayn did not speak and quietly started the car. The two of them remained silent the rest of the journey.

Zayn drove a little faster and they soon arrived at Opal Suites. Lindsey actually had some things she wanted to ask him, but after she got to the neighborhood, she still did not manage to speak.

Lindsey pushed open the car door and waved at Zayn, who was motionless. “Bye!”

Zayn was expressionless and did not say anything. He just stepped on the gas pedal and sped away.

Lindsey shook her head and turned to head upstairs, but she took a few steps and was still hung up on what she was thinking about the entire journey. She was worried and turned to walk to a pharmacy outside the apartment compound.

Zayn did not go far. He just drove out of the compound and parked in a hidden corner behind a streetlight right outside Opal Suites.

He was planning to calm himself down, but when he looked up, he saw the woman who had just gotten down from his car walked out of Opal Suites and went into a pharmacy by the roadside.

Zayn thought about how Lindsey struggled to talk to him on the way back. When he saw that she was buying medication, he was speechless.

He made a fist and slammed it hard on the steering wheel.

After sitting there quietly for a while and watching Lindsey’s figure disappearing inside Opal Suites, Zayn still felt heartbroken. He took out his phone, found the number he knew by heart, and sent a message.

The message ringtone sounded with the elevator chime when Lindsey arrived at her floor.
