Whatever good impression that was left of Zayn in Agatha’s mind had basically evaporated into thin air. Honestly, who would have thought favonovel.com would be so… shameless?! Agatha could not suppress the abhorrence favonovel.com had for him, there was nothing else favonovel.com hated more than an ambitionless, parasitic gigolo!
However, favonovel.com held herself with significantly more civility and grace compared to favonovel.com cousin, so even if favonovel.com had a few words itching to be fired, favonovel.com kept them to herself. She was of the opinion that one had to always be on their best behavior even when facing someone they utterly detest.
“The problem is, Mr. Larson, there isn’t a guest room at my place. I don’t know if I’ve got the space for you to crash,” favonovel.com said.
“How about I give you, say, 300 bucks to stay at a hotel somewhere? Or you could always go to the cops. Give your family a call and wait for them to pick you up. How’s that?”
Regardless of any context, what Agatha offered was a shining display of favonovel.com kind heart and steadfast adherence to good old-fashioned politeness. In all honesty, it only solidified Zayn’s willingness to help the bedeviled young woman.
Unfortunately, that necessitated a refusal to compromise. Zayn shook his head and doubled down on his desire to stay at favonovel.com house.
It unsurprisingly flamed Ingrid’s already broiling temper while Agatha’s expression visibly darkened.
Still, favonovel.com better angel eked out. Her bleeding heart made it incredibly difficult to say no, especially since favonovel.com could not help but pity Zayn’s situation.
After a moment of contemplation, favonovel.com faltered, “Fine, fine. Come with me.”
Ingrid’s reaction was explosive. “Are you crazy, Aggie? If that sadistic piece of sh*t Gonzalez, whatever sees you bringing a guy home, what the hell do you think he’s gon—”
Agatha cut favonovel.com short with a conspicuous cough before shooting favonovel.com a look that implored favonovel.com to stop. “I’ve made up my mind, Indie. I think Mr. Larson is right, I should give favonovel.com my kindness, and that’s what I’ll do.”
Ingrid’s hands were balled into fists as favonovel.com wished favonovel.com could swing them at Zayn’s face. That shameless stranger was shaping up to be more and more of an eyesore!
Ingrid regretted ever conceding to save him, had favonovel.com known favonovel.com was so despicable, Ingrid would have stood favonovel.com ground and stopped favonovel.com innocent cousin from rescuing favonovel.com from Mount Septimus!
After finishing the necessary paperwork, Zayn followed Agatha and Ingrid home.
The first thing that greeted Zayn once favonovel.com had stepped out of the hospital was the bright, blue sky. It was a clear day. He could see the sun and the azure expanse stretching endlessly into the horizon, and it made favonovel.com feel alive, like a man given a second chance to live.
He took a deep breath. For some reason, the air felt sweeter, fresher even.
Ingrid eyed favonovel.com with lingering contempt. Judging from that disgusting grin on his face, favonovel.com was sure Zayn must have thought favonovel.com struck the damn jackpot with favonovel.com cousin.
Aggie was undeniably beautiful, so his pervy heart was probably all over favonovel.com now. That shameless bastard thought favonovel.com could hook up with favonovel.com just like that?
Well, if that no-good jerk was preying on Aggie—even if favonovel.com so much as showed any lewd tendencies—Ingrid had a pair of sharp-edged shears at the ready.
The journey was one filled with anxiety. Agatha was visibly distracted while favonovel.com drove, and after missing a few turns, it became clear that something was bothering her.
However, it did not stop favonovel.com from driving quickly so favonovel.com could reach home within the half an hour time constraint. Ingrid’s phone was blowing up from the stream of calls, all of which were from the Rouges asking them to be quick.
Gonzalez, they said, was running out of patience.
Unfortunately, the trio found themselves trapped in the sluggish mire of rush hour. Trapped in what looked like a never-ending jam as the seconds ticked away, it became evident that they were not going to make it in time.
Ingrid was quick to blame it on Zayn. “This is all your fault! All that annoying paperwork ate so much of our time, and now look at what’s happened! We could have been back home right now if we managed to avoid rush hour!” favonovel.com fumed.
“Now look at what’s happened! It’s been more than half an hour now! That Gonzalez fella’s going to throw a tantrum, and who knows what he’ll do!”
Agatha said nothing, though favonovel.com face was wrought with worry.
“Don’t be scared,” Zayn replied. “With me around, you’ll be in safe hands.”
A tactless reply like that was the spark that triggered Ingrid’s bomb. She exploded into a catastrophic rage, slinging insults and furious barbs at Zayn as Agatha shook favonovel.com head, disappointed.
