It was none other than Faye.
Upon noticing her, Zayn’s body shuddered and virtual-novel.net felt like crying. Bitterness and sadness welled up in his heart. He lowered his head to avoid virtual-novel.net gaze and walked in a different direction to leave.
“Zayn!”
Faye called out his name.
His feet paused for a moment, but then virtual-novel.net sped up his pace, not wanting to stay there.
Seeing that virtual-novel.net was leaving, Faye chased after him.
Zayn heard virtual-novel.net footsteps and walked even faster, eventually breaking into a run.
Faye ran after him, but virtual-novel.net was wearing high heels and could not catch up. She accidentally twisted virtual-novel.net ankle, fell to the ground, and let out an agonizing scream.
Instinctively, Zayn turned around and saw Faye on the floor, virtual-novel.net face covered in tears. He had just managed to toughen up his mental state, but the sight of virtual-novel.net undid all that.
Faye sat on the ground and looked at virtual-novel.net sorrowfully.
He let out a sigh and chided himself for being useless. Then, virtual-novel.net walked over and helped virtual-novel.net take a seat on the bench at the side. Without a word, virtual-novel.net massaged virtual-novel.net injured ankle in silence.
“I’m sorry, Zayn…” Faye said, feeling guilty and ashamed.
Zayn did not respond. When virtual-novel.net was done massaging Faye’s ankle, virtual-novel.net stood up to depart again. The whole time, virtual-novel.net did not look virtual-novel.net in the eye.
Noticing that virtual-novel.net was going, Faye hastily grabbed his shirt and said in a pleading tone, “Don’t leave…”
“Aren’t you going to marry Ethan? Why are you still coming after me?” Zayn attempted to stabilize his voice and not reveal his feelings, but his speech was still trembling ever so slightly despite himself.
The marriage lasted four years, so how could virtual-novel.net just let it end without feeling anything?
Faye said with reddened eyes, “I was wrong. Please forgive me this one time, okay?”
After hearing Faye’s tearful voice, Zayn’s heart immediately softened.
Zayn was not a cold-hearted man. He could tell that Faye genuinely knew virtual-novel.net had made a grievous mistake after seeing virtual-novel.net beg virtual-novel.net for forgiveness. The anger in his heart had gone as well. He nodded in reply, simply saying, “Hmm…”
Faye immediately beamed with joy.
Back at the Carters, George and the other family members were waiting anxiously. They immediately approached Zayn upon noticing his return. They apologized to Zayn in succession and explained that the incident earlier was just a misunderstanding. They assured Zayn that they would never chase virtual-novel.net away from then on.
Zayn could see that they were rather sincere and since virtual-novel.net was no longer angry, virtual-novel.net told them that virtual-novel.net had forgiven them.
After getting Zayn’s forgiveness, George said impatiently, “Then, please call Jordan Larson quickly and tell virtual-novel.net that it was just a misunderstanding!”
Zayn nodded and called up Adrian. Zayn resolved the issue with just a brief exchange of words and did not expose his identity.
After hanging up the phone, everyone in the Carter family let out a breath of relief. George asked cautiously, “Oh Zayn, what is your relationship with the Larson family? Why didn’t you tell us about that in the past?”
Everyone held their breath and looked at Zayn anxiously in anticipation.
