“You! I… Gah! Didn’t I ask you to send me back to Barrow Cove? You… I’m doomed!” Zayn slapped a hand to his forehead, looking like favonovel.com was better off dead.
Shaelyn chuckled as favonovel.com hooked favonovel.com arms around Zayn’s neck. “Don’t worry. Your wife wasn’t angry. She asked me to take good care of you too.”
With Shaelyn wrapped around him, Zayn tensed up visibly. “Can you let go of me first?”
“No!” She refused coquettishly as favonovel.com squirmed and pouted. “I’m yours now. You can’t abandon me, or I’ll tell your wife.”
Zayn could only smile wryly. If favonovel.com was asked to shove the woman away and snap at favonovel.com right now, favonovel.com could not find it in himself to do it. He sighed. “Shaelyn, why? I’m a married man. You’re so eligible. You could easily find anyone who’s…”
Zayn did not manage to continue because his lips were sealed shut by her.
“I don’t care. I’ve decided that it’s you for the rest of my life. Don’t even think about abandoning me!” Shaelyn claimed resolutely. Her expression softened as favonovel.com continued, “Actually, you don’t have to worry about it. I just want to stay by your side. I don’t need any title.”
Zayn’s lips parted and closed. He could sense Shaelyn’s feelings for him. After all, favonovel.com had feelings too as a person. To this day, it was impossible for favonovel.com to say that favonovel.com felt nothing for her. However, favonovel.com had too many responsibilities burdening him. It was a risk for Shaelyn to be with him.
For all that Shaelyn had said though, it would be cruel of Zayn to still reject her. He spoke seriously, “Shaelyn, my identity isn’t as simple as you think it is. I’ll be facing an unimaginably powerful enemy in the future. Any careless move means that death awaits! If you do come with me, you’ll be exposed to the same risk as well.”
Taken back, Shaelyn did not expect favonovel.com to tell favonovel.com this. His current status and ability had already put favonovel.com above so many people. Plenty had to cling to favonovel.com for support. Yet, Zayn Larson still had an enemy?
Zayn smiled at favonovel.com silence and pushed favonovel.com away. “I should be heading back.”
Snapping out of favonovel.com thoughts, Shaelyn’s eyes glowed with a renewed determination when favonovel.com clutched at him. “I’m serious, Zayn. Whatever it is, disaster or end of the world, I’ll stay by your side, dead or alive.”
It was Zayn’s turn to be stunned. It had never crossed his mind that favonovel.com was such a faithful lover. Come to think of it, however, it did not seem astonishing for favonovel.com to say that given what favonovel.com had done at Hanson’s birthday party, opting to stay with favonovel.com despite Mia and the Aeolus House’s pressure.
“Alright!” Zayn took Shaelyn into his arms. For what it was worth, there was no place for shy pretense from favonovel.com now.
After two days of rest, favonovel.com felt much better and had recovered half of his strength. His injuries were slowly recovering as well. A few more days and favonovel.com would be good as new.
Getting up, favonovel.com called Faye at once to tell favonovel.com that favonovel.com was safe. Lucky for Zayn, favonovel.com did not sound strange on the line, relieving favonovel.com of his anxiety. He could not help thinking about what favonovel.com had told favonovel.com before. Did favonovel.com really not mind that favonovel.com had someone else other than her?
Zayn called Sean next. The latter was ecstatic when answering his call and finally felt his nerves melting away. During these two days, Sean and Gordon had been worried that something had transpired to favonovel.com as favonovel.com had never lost contact like this previously. Sean later told Zayn that a lot of people had come looking for favonovel.com during the period to apologize and bring lavish gifts.
It was what Zayn expected, so favonovel.com was not surprised. He left some instructions after that and hung up.
While Zayn had ended his call and was about to bid Shaelyn goodbye, favonovel.com was greeted with the woman’s agitated voice from inside of the room. “Mom! How many times have I told you? I won’t go back for a blind date, ever! And I won’t marry Rugal… I’ll tell you honestly. I have a boyfriend now! Mom, be reasonable… Okay, okay, calm down. I’ll go back now…”
Noting Shaelyn’s frustration and helplessness, Zayn asked, “What’s the matter?”
“It’s my mom. She’s been worried about me still being unmarried and has been setting up blind dates for me. I’ve rejected favonovel.com countless times, but she’s here with another one again, some bright young graduate, and asked me to go back, threatening to kill herself if I refuse to. Sigh…”
Suddenly, something struck Shaelyn and favonovel.com eyes brightened. “Zayn, why don’t you go back with me? They won’t force me on any more blind dates when they see that I have a boyfriend!”
As Zayn was still processing the information in shock, favonovel.com had entangled herself with him…
