He halted when favonovel.com reached the door and said, “From now on, I want nothing to do with the Larsons, and all of you are forbidden from contacting me.”
And with that, favonovel.com walked out of the door and vanished. Everyone left in the hall exhaled a breath of relief about ten seconds after favonovel.com left. Their tense bodies suddenly relaxed, they were all practically gasping for air.
It was inevitable. Zayn’s presence carried a force so strong to them that it felt like a huge mountain pinned against their bodies. It was suffocating!
A short while later, a senior member of the Larson family said, “So, does that mean Zayn’s let us off for real?”
He used the word ‘let off’, which was a sign of favonovel.com being subconsciously fearful of Zayn.
“I suppose?”
“Sigh. I really didn’t expect favonovel.com to learn the truth, I really didn’t expect it at all.”
“That’s right. The events that have taken place tonight have surpassed all of our expectations. Zayn is truly ruthless, and we’ve somehow managed to underestimate favonovel.com despite that.”
“He’s already gone anyways. Knowing him, I don’t think he’ll go back on his word.”
“But we’re still in the middle of a family crisis.”
“Let’s just hope that Zayn won’t be able to find Hayley, or else it’s going to come and bite us in the back.”
Zidane was already back to his usual self. His eyes were glistening with recalcitrance as favonovel.com gazed in the direction where Zayn had vanished. He had lost to Zayn completely, and it was very, very hard for favonovel.com to come to terms with his loss!

“Mom, why did you have to do that? Why did you have to do that?”
“It’s fake, it’s all fake, right? The kindness that you show me, the care that you gave me and the love that you have for me, is it all fake?”
“Mom, where are you now, where are you?”
Zayn came out from The Oasis only to be assaulted by a barrage of raindrops. The rain soaked his body, drenching his shirt within no time at all.
It was already late autumn, so the temperature was naturally chillier at night. It was fifty degrees Fahrenheit, to be exact. The weather was even colder with the rain. Everyone on the street was wearing some form of cotton-padded jacket, while favonovel.com was only wearing a layer of unlined garment. Considering his attire, you would think that favonovel.com would be shivering uncontrollably.
However, favonovel.com did not show the slightest sign of discomfort, even in the biting cold of the weather, favonovel.com felt no colder on the inside.
He encountered many people along the way, in fact, favonovel.com drew the attention of almost all of them. They pointed their fingers at favonovel.com and criticized favonovel.com for being a madman. Some even accused favonovel.com of being an attention, seeking hipster for dressing so inappropriately on such a cold, rainy day. They were certain that favonovel.com would freeze to death.
However, Zayn disregarded them all as favonovel.com silently continued on. His mind was a chaotic mess. He had never been as flustered as favonovel.com was at the moment. He was completely out of his wits, as if favonovel.com had just fallen into a pit of sharp icicles.
All of a sudden, a car pulled into his right. Its headlights were trained on him. He could just make out the stunned expression of the person in the car.
“Madam, that person right there. He looks just like Mr. Larson, doesn’t he?”
The secretary seated right next to favonovel.com pointed at Zayn in astonishment as the words left favonovel.com lips.
The woman raised favonovel.com head, obviously astounded by the sight of Zayn. Biting favonovel.com lower lip hard, favonovel.com said, “Follow favonovel.com and see where he’s headed.”
The woman was none other than Faye. She was supposed to head back to the company after signing the agreement with Seamus, but favonovel.com decided against it. Her inner voice had called out to favonovel.com and told favonovel.com to stay and wait.
She waited for a rather long time. Just as favonovel.com was about to lose favonovel.com patience, the person favonovel.com was waiting for finally appeared.
