Forced Into Marriage: My Husband’s Too Mean novel Chapter 65

Zayn Guggenheim had tried his best all day to make Lindsey happy, but in the end, Lindsey thought of him like that.

‘Apologize on behalf of Jenny Lenig? Ha! Only she could think of this!’

Lindsey wanted to be sarcastic, but she was silenced.

Zayn had always been dominating in bed.

Lindsey kicked him and said, “Zayn, I’m still sick!”

‘Was he that desperate?’

“It’s good to sweat it out.”

Even though this was just an excuse, Lindsey’s head actually did not hurt as much the next day.

They did not mention what happened that day. Zayn did not explain himself because he felt that his actions were enough to prove his feelings for her. On the other hand, Lindsey just did not want to waste her effort overthinking things.

Lindsey felt so much better, but she was still on her third day of sick leave. She was in a great mood and cooked a few dishes with Mrs. Wendy.

Zayn ate the dishes Lindsey cooked without commenting on them, but he ate more than his usual portion.

It was rare for the two of them to get along so well. Mrs. Wendy was so delighted that she secretly called the old man to report the situation.

Once the three days of vacation were over, Lindsey, who was hyped to get back to work, met another tough nut to crack.

Mr. Spencer was the person in charge of the Schanely Corporation's dealings with Hemera. He had suddenly resigned and left without doing a handover, but the project still had to be discussed. Hemera’s management was not aware of the full story and asked Lindsey to continue handling this project.

Somehow, Schanely Corporation was not compatible with Lindsey. She called them several times consecutively but failed to get an appointment. After finally getting an appointment, the other party just beat around the bush and neither rejected nor accepted the deal.

"Mr. Zanders, you should be able to see Hemera’s sincerity about this deal. Even though we’re not the best in the industry, we still have the capital and resources to work with your company. It’s a mutually beneficial deal for both our companies. Since we’ve already met several times, I’d like to get an answer today so I can get back to my bosses." Lindsey had a polite smile plastered on her face, but her patience was running out.

"Ms. Juhl, what’s the hurry? Let’s have a drink first." Mr. Zanders was an old-timer in the industry.

There were rumors that Denarius was also interested in cooperating with Schanely, but it was not confirmed yet. In order not to end up empty-handed, he was dragging on Hemera while trying to get in touch with Denarius.

Lindsey did not know why the other party was dragging her on like this, but that did not mean she could not tell that Schanely did not have the intention to cooperate with Hemera.

She picked up her purse and packed her things, ready to leave. "Mr. Zanders, I understand what you mean. In that case, I won't bother you any longer. Let's work together again when the opportunity arises."

Mr. Zanders thought that Schanely’s business would be very valuable to Lindsey seeing that she looked so young and inexperienced, but he did not expect her to be so decisive.

He opened his mouth to stop her, but he heard a voice from behind him, "Jake Zanders! What are you doing here?"

Jake Zanders quickly stood up. The arrogant attitude he carried in front of Lindsey disappeared and was replaced by a respectful one.

"My wife, Lindsey Juhl." Zayn's words were brief and concise, not knowing that he had just dropped a huge bomb.

The air became still for a few seconds and Lindsey felt incredulous.

She looked up at Zayn and could not see a hint of sarcasm on his face. Lindsey was completely at a loss for words.

This was the first time Zayn admitted their relationship in front of others.

It was a lie to say that Lindsey was not shaken by this. Lindsey had always thought that Zayn hated her and that he would not keep a woman he hated as his wife. She thought that they would get a divorce one day and no one would know that he was even married before. That woman was her.

Even though this was the first time Zayn introduced Lindsey to an outsider, the word “wife” sounded very natural coming from his mouth.

"I still have some things to do. I’ll get Wilburn to pick you up after work." After Zayn said that, he looked like a king being escorted by a group of people as he strode into a private room.

Lindsey returned to her senses and picked up her things, ready to leave.

"Hey, Ms. Juhl, please stay." Jake Zanders quickly returned to his senses and stopped Lindsey.

"Mr. Zanders, since you don’t have the intention to cooperate, let's not waste each other's time."

"No, no, Ms. Juhl, you’ve misunderstood." Jake hurriedly added, "What I meant was that we’d be happy to cooperate with Hemera. If it's convenient for you, we can sign the contract tomorrow."
