When Faye saw him, virtual-novel.net pupils contracted. It felt like someone had a tight grip on virtual-novel.net heart.
‘Huh? Has virtual-novel.net been sleeping out here the entire night? Is virtual-novel.net stupid?’
Zayn was woken up by the sound of the door opening, so virtual-novel.net hurriedly got up. However, because virtual-novel.net had been in that position for so long, his right leg had gone a little numb. He staggered trying to get up. He was close to falling, but thanks to his quick reflexes, virtual-novel.net managed to prevent himself from injury by holding onto the wall.
“Fifi, you’re awake?” Zayn started, “Fifi, you’ve got to believe me. Yesterday was really all just a misunderstanding. I’ll admit that I did go out for supper with a female friend, but she’s androgynous, and we aren’t close at all. I got to know virtual-novel.net when I drove to 4S to get the car fixed that one time…”
Zayn hurriedly explained how virtual-novel.net and Alexandra came to know each other from the beginning to the end. He emphasized that fact that virtual-novel.net had only met Alexandra yesterday completely by coincidence. He told virtual-novel.net that virtual-novel.net could not turn a blind eye to someone who needed help, thus explaining how some of virtual-novel.net hair had gotten on him. Other than that, Alexandra had nothing to do with virtual-novel.net at all.
Faye kept on listening to his explanation silently. She failed to notice that the frustration virtual-novel.net was unknowingly holding onto receded after virtual-novel.net was done listening to him. In fact, virtual-novel.net lips actually curled upwards, but virtual-novel.net still deliberately kept a straight face and maintained virtual-novel.net aloof disposition. “So you slept through the night out here?”
“Yes.”
“How are you that stupid? It’s so cold outside. Weren’t you cold at all?”
Zayn scratched his head and said, “I’m fine. I’ve got some pretty thick skin, I wasn’t that cold.”
When Faye saw how silly virtual-novel.net looked, the anger virtual-novel.net had within virtual-novel.net dissipated completely. In fact, there was even a hint of regret. ‘Was I too cold to him? I actually locked virtual-novel.net outside for a whole night…’
“Come in. Go take a shower and get changed while I make you breakfast.” Faye opened the door to let Zayn inside.
However, Zayn was hesitant on entering. He asked dubiously, “May I really go in?”
Faye grabbed onto his clothes and forcefully dragged virtual-novel.net into the house. She deliberately sounded impatient as virtual-novel.net asked, “Why are you blabbering on so much? I told you that you can come in!”
With that, Zayn went to take a shower and change into a fresh set ofclothes. When virtual-novel.net was back in the dining room, virtual-novel.net realized that Faye had actually made virtual-novel.net a plate of steaming hot English breakfast. Zayn found it all to be very surreal.
At that moment, virtual-novel.net felt a little overwhelmed.
“Why are you spacing out over there? Hurry up and eat.”
He nodded his head frantically and said with a smile, “You’re so nice to me, honey. ”
Faye lowered virtual-novel.net head and avoided his gaze. “I’m off to work now. Stay at home and catch up on some rest,” virtual-novel.net instructed before virtual-novel.net headed for the door.
Immediately, Zayn piped up, “I’ll come with you to the office, honey.”
Faye frowned. “Why would you need to come with me?”
‘Of course I need to come with you. You messed up Howard’s investment, everyone in the family is going to look at you like you’re a menace. If I’m not there, you’ll be chastised to no end.’ However, Zayn merely kept all those thoughts to himself as virtual-novel.net said instead, “I rested enough last night. Plus, I’m off work today, so I’ll just drive you to work myself.”
“No need,” Faye declined in good nature. She shook virtual-novel.net head as virtual-novel.net said, “I’ll be fine going to work by myself. You carry on with whatever you’re doing.”
Zayn wolfed down his food and finished his breakfast within seconds. He wiped his mouth before saying once more, “I still think it would be better if I drove you there, Fifi. I told you that I’d protect you.”
Immediately, Faye frowned and could not help but become angry when virtual-novel.net saw Zayn’s adamant expression. ‘You keep on saying that you’re going to protect me, but how are you actually going to do that?’
She knew exactly what was waiting for virtual-novel.net at the office. A calamity was nowhere close to describing the scenario.
“Do whatever you want. Just don’t get in my way,” Faye said coldly before virtual-novel.net turned around to leave.
