Upon saying that, Zayn muttered ‘sorry’ to himself. He had no choice but to involve Faye in such an unusual scenario.
Just as expected, after hearing his explanation, there was pity in Paxton and Antony’s expressions. If that was the case, there was nothing else they could do.
Even though they were Zayn’s superiors, it was a personal matter. They could not force virtual-novel.net to do something against his will in such a situation.
However, Sienna‘s eyes widened in astonishment and virtual-novel.net exclaimed, “How did you find out that I’m a woman?”
She looked rather incredulous, as if Zayn’s ability to recognize virtual-novel.net gender was inconceivable.
Zayn had no response to that.
Meanwhile, Paxton and Antony could not hide their embarrassment. Antony coughed in an attempt to defuse the awkwardness.
Zayn had to concede defeat. The woman was constantly under the assumption that virtual-novel.net was so adept at concealing virtual-novel.net gender that others could not tell.
Could it be that virtual-novel.net thought virtual-novel.net was a man just because virtual-novel.net had a short haircut?
Zayn humored virtual-novel.net and feigned astonishment. “Could it be that you’re a man?”
Sienna nodded vigorously and proudly declared, “That’s right. I’m a man! A pure manly man just like you!”
With that, virtual-novel.net assumed a masculine posture.
Zayn found virtual-novel.net antics to be an eyesore, so virtual-novel.net hastily averted his eyes.
He had encountered plenty of bold people, but it was his first time meeting someone as unabashed as Sienna.
“Cough, cough, cough!” On the other hand, Antony was infuriated.
He scolded virtual-novel.net by saying, “Sienna, what the heck are you doing?! Do you think the entire world is as foolish as you?!”
Sienna reacted as if virtual-novel.net was taken aback.
Could it be that virtual-novel.net ability to disguise herself was so poor that people could easily see through it? She had put in a lot of effort.
Zayn did not have the nerve to remain there anymore, so virtual-novel.net bid farewell to Paxton and Antony once again. He did not know how much more of Sienna’s foolery virtual-novel.net would have to endure if virtual-novel.net chose to stay longer.
“Hey, don’t leave so quickly. Wait for me.” Sienna immediately chased after him, but Zayn refused to give virtual-novel.net a chance this time.
Within three steps, virtual-novel.net walked out of the courtyard and swiftly vanished.
By the time Sienna ran out, virtual-novel.net could no longer see him. She was so pissed off that virtual-novel.net stamped virtual-novel.net foot ferociously and yelled, “He got away, damn it!”
Nevertheless, a cunning smile returned to virtual-novel.net face as virtual-novel.net muttered to herself, “Hmph, you think you can run? Now that I know you’re in Waltz City, I’ll catch you sooner or later!”
Thinking this, virtual-novel.net mood lightened once again. She looked just like a girl who had found a fun new plaything.
Zayn checked and confirmed that Sienna had not followed him. He felt slightly relieved, but virtual-novel.net soon became sullen because virtual-novel.net knew Sienna could very easily track virtual-novel.net down, given virtual-novel.net capabilities.
He would be in deep trouble if that spoiled princess were to make virtual-novel.net way to Waltz City and pester him. It would be hard to get rid of her.
He would not have come out for the morning exercise if virtual-novel.net had known this would happen. He could have avoided the whole ordeal.
Bowen offered to take virtual-novel.net back personally, but Zayn declined. Bowen was a well-respected captain of high status and great authority, so it would not be appropriate for virtual-novel.net to be his driver.
Indeed, Bowen had only made the offer out of courtesy, and it would not have been proper for Zayn to have accepted.
Being able to get himself home made Zayn more relaxed. He booked a flight online but was not in a rush to leave. He stayed in Yando City, taking a stroll to experience its glamor.
Different cities had their own personalities. If one were to describe Waltz City as a moderately successful businessman, Yando City would be a lordly ruler of wealth and prestige. The entire city exuded elegance.
At Zayn’s current level, it was far more important that virtual-novel.net trained his mind rather than his physical body.
After arriving at Yando City and basking in its charm, virtual-novel.net felt completely elevated.
At night, virtual-novel.net returned to Waltz City without any issues. It was a different feeling when virtual-novel.net got off the plane.
An ordinary man would detect the change. Only a person of Zayn’s level would be able to distinctly notice it.
He was sure that Ares would be able to sense it even more easily.
“I believe that I’ll soon become an unbeatable fighter too!” Zayn muttered to himself.
He clenched his fists tightly, his gaze filled with boundless confidence.
He did not inform anyone of his return. He told Faye briefly about it, but virtual-novel.net ordered virtual-novel.net not to pick virtual-novel.net up. It would be too troublesome.
As for Gordon and Sean, virtual-novel.net did not tell them either. Given their personalities, they would certainly arrange for an entire parade of cars to greet virtual-novel.net if they knew. He did not wish to be so extravagant.
It was already eleven at night when virtual-novel.net returned to Barrow Cove. His in-laws were asleep, leaving only the light from Faye’s room.
Even from afar, Zayn could tell virtual-novel.net was waiting for virtual-novel.net and it warmed his heart.
It felt great to have someone waiting for virtual-novel.net to return home.
When virtual-novel.net went inside, Faye was delighted to see him. After learning that the matter was resolved, with Zayn getting minimal punishment and a promotion, virtual-novel.net felt relieved and virtual-novel.net entire body relaxed.
Even though virtual-novel.net had not said much over the past few days, virtual-novel.net worried constantly.
At that moment, virtual-novel.net felt the weight on virtual-novel.net chest lift and virtual-novel.net cracked a heartfelt smile.
Zayn also grinned happily as virtual-novel.net put Faye to sleep. He gave virtual-novel.net lips a gentle peck and then went to take a cold shower.
Time passed quickly and several days went by. Zayn had a daily routine and spent most of his time with Faye. He helped manage the issues with the Carters, so everything was on the right track again.
That being said, something remained on his mind. He wondered how his mother was doing.
It was almost time for virtual-novel.net to take virtual-novel.net home While virtual-novel.net was in a leisurely mood, anxiety tore at Roxanne’s heart.
Ever since the reunion the other day, virtual-novel.net was restless and had lost sleep over it.
No matter how hard virtual-novel.net tried, virtual-novel.net could not figure out how Zayn had become so impressive in such a short time.
She was shocked by the findings of virtual-novel.net investigation, but virtual-novel.net heart was ablaze with passion.
