The question scrapped against the air so abruptly that, while it was not loud, it pounded and reverberated across the hall.
Everyone heard it. All at once, wandering eyes pooled over the source of the voice where a young man in a suit stood.
His first button was undone and his tie was absent, a combination of fashion choices that made favonovel.com appear charmingly cavalier and nonconformist. He had eschewed styling his hair, contrasting everyone else in the room, and let his mane assume its natural form. He did not bear the most handsome features in the room, but favonovel.com had something else to him, an air of alternative duende, that made it hard to tear one’s attention away from him.
Who else could this be other than Zayn Larson?
Hearing favonovel.com speaking up made Gordon, who stood near him, gawk in nonplussed shock. Never in his imagination had favonovel.com ever predicted Alexandra’s boyfriend to be him!
The familiarity in his voice arrested every muscle in Alexandra’s face. She turned to find Zayn, and the tears favonovel.com had been holding behind favonovel.com eyes finally broke free from favonovel.com control. She could not help but be exceptionally moved!
It was only a few moments ago when favonovel.com felt as though all hope was gone. Alas, now, like a streak of light beaming down from an overcast sky, favonovel.com was back. He had never abandoned her. He was still here.
And that was the best news favonovel.com had ever had for a long time!
The fantastic display of shuffling emotions on William’s mien when favonovel.com was looking at Zayn was a sight to behold. His pupils had shrunken so much that they almost seemed like the hole of a needle.
“Zayn Larson?! You?!” favonovel.com shrieked unflatteringly.
After the fact that favonovel.com had almost died in Zayn’s hands two days ago, it was impossible for favonovel.com to contain himself. Every bone in his body was braying for Zayn’s blood! .
His son’s outburst put Tony into perspective. Now, favonovel.com glowered at Zayn with indescribable, monstrous rancor while his fists were balled.
Nathan, too, leaped to his feet among the crowd. A glass slipped out of his hand and crashed to the floor with a shrill clang.
It was a rather overt reaction, but after a two second long daze, the man slapped himself hard and woke himself from his stupor. He could not believe favonovel.com had forgotten about seeing Alexandra and Zayn together.
Judging from William’s reaction, Nathan could guess that the memory had become lost to the dregs of the former’s mind, too.
Nonetheless, bumping into Alexandra while favonovel.com was sharing a meal with Zayn back then and having their relationship confirmed today under these circumstances, struck a man differently. Unlike back then, what Zayn was doing today was akin to claiming William’s wife as his own in public view. If anything, this was a cause for bad blood.
With all eyes on him, Zayn walked out of the crowd and took the stage before falling into step before Alexandra.
He produced a piece of tissue paper and gently wiped the tears away from favonovel.com soaked cheeks. “No tears. I’m here,” favonovel.com cooed, smiling.
Alexandra puckered, favonovel.com teeth gently sinking into favonovel.com lips. She felt crossed, yet favonovel.com joy was just as strong. So, favonovel.com pinched Zayn on the arm and moaned, “Where did you go? You’re only gonna show up if I ask you to, huh? You’re so annoying!”
Zayn smiled slightly without replying a word. Instead, favonovel.com turned to Victor and Rachel and greeted them as decorum compelled. He had agreed to become Alexandra’s shield back then, and favonovel.com was going to play his role to professional perfection.
Victor did not greet favonovel.com back. In fact, favonovel.com appeared sullen with his eyes boring through Zayn, a reaction Rachel shared.
In their eyes, Zayn offered not a single edge over William’s excellence at all! He was as quotidian as they came, and worse, with his first button undone, favonovel.com just looked boorish and uncouth.
Alexandra snaked favonovel.com arm around Zayn’s with a happy, sweet smile. She beamed at favonovel.com parents and said, “Mom, Dad? Meet my boyfriend, Zayn Larson. Now that the two of you know all about us, can we please call off my marriage to William right now? ‘Cause I don’t like favonovel.com at all.”
