Forced Into Marriage: My Husband’s Too Mean novel Chapter 735

Zayn only thought that his scars would scare her and ruin her impression of him in her heart, but he never thought that she had endured so much.

The heartache, sorrow, and pain surged at once, which made Zayn's hand that was covering Lindsey's eyes falter.

At this moment, Lindsey spoke again. Her tears were accompanied by sobs as she struggled to sit upright on his lap. Her voice was cold as she said, “Since you care so much about how you look right now and think that everyone only loves you because of your face, then you can just put your mask back on and leave."

When she said this, her whole body trembled and she nearly fell to the ground, but she was held by Zayn. Zayn’s state was not much better than hers either.

Lindsey slapped his hand away. Her crying voice was resolute as she said, “I’ll just take it that you’re really dead. I’ll also do as you wish and marry someone else. I don't want Denarius, I won't care about Aunt Wendy, and I won't want Dezi either."

She bit her lower lip as agony filled her face. It was clear that what she said was not a joke.

Zayn just felt like someone strangled him and his breathing became a little difficult. He did not dare to think how desperate she was for her to say such things.

He looked like he was in pain, which made his already hideous face look even more horrifying. Zayn's hand that was holding Lindsey tightened and he finally said, "Don’t."

Zayn buried his face in Lindsey's neck from behind. His heart throbbing with pain and his tears fell on Lindsey's bare skin. "Why would I want to see you with someone else?"

He never wanted this.

All those days of self-deception and consolation were ultimately no match for the desire that grew from this short moment when she was in his arms again.

She was like a drug that he could not quit.

"In my life..." Zayn's words were squeezed from his throat and his voice cracked as he said, "And for the rest of my life...all I think about is you. You’re all I want."

After that, he cupped Lindsey’s cheek, and his hand that was covering her eyes slowly lifted. Then, he leaned forward and gently kissed Lindsey on the lips.

It was a sincere and passionate kiss, which touched Lindsey more than any other kiss they had in the past.

Her eyelashes that were wet with tears trembled gently and slowly parted.

The two of them were facing each other in the dim light inside the car. Zayn subconsciously wanted to avoid Lindsey's gaze, but he was stopped by her.

"Don't move." Her eyes were bright, having been washed by tears. She held Zayn’s face with both hands and slowly touched every inch of his skin.

Zayn’s face looked like it was separated down the middle. The left side of his face was still the same as what Lindsey remembered with only a few small scars. His entire right side just looked like a burned mess of flesh. Even his right ear was somewhat damaged.

"Does it hurt?" Seeing Zayn flinch every time she touched him, Lindsey asked.

Zayn looked down and could see those piercing eyes. There was no fear, avoidance, or sympathy, only deep heartache.

His thin lips parted slightly. He still could not bear to expose his ugly face in front of Lindsey for too long, so he turned his head to block the right side of his face and lowered his eyes. His voice was low as he said, “It’s all in the past.”

Looking at Zayn like this, Lindsey just felt so sad.

The Zayn she knew was not like this. He was proud, confident, and full of vigor. He was so much better than his peers in both talent and character.

Soon, Zayn raised his head and hugged Lindsey back in the same way she hugged him just now.

After experiencing such great joy, despair, and sorrow, they finally seemed to have completely calmed down. Lindsey enjoyed this rare peace and only then did she feel that this was all real.

Zayn was not dead! He was really back!

‘All this isn’t a dream!’

Zayn also felt the same way.

The two of them hugged each other like this for a long time until a ringtone interrupted the peace in the car.

It was Lindsey's phone.

Lindsey subconsciously looked up at Zayn and found that he was also looking at her. She then explained in a whisper, "It's Aunt Wendy."

His eyes flickered and he did not know how to feel at that moment as he watched Lindsey answer the call.

Mrs. Wendy was worried because Lindsey was not home at this hour. “You said you’re busy tonight. What is it that you’re still not back yet at this hour?”

Lindsey looked at Zayn and pursed her lips. “I still have some things to deal with at work, so I'm staying at the office tonight."
