Faye and Zayn were now face-to-face.
She frowned slightly… and that was the extent of favonovel.com emotional response. She backed away from him. Her voice was slightly strained with exasperation when favonovel.com warned, “Please respect the distance between us, sir.”
Zayn was startled. He had envisioned every possible scenario in his head—how favonovel.com would be happily reunited with Faye—over a thousand times. He thought favonovel.com had predicted every alternate ending.
He thought favonovel.com would be moved, overjoyed, happy, or even angry; anything but cold.
She was so steely, so distant. She acted like they were complete strangers.
It was not even an affectation of any kind, because Zayn could not detect any emotion or yearning for favonovel.com at all. When favonovel.com looked into favonovel.com eyes, favonovel.com saw nothing but a soulless pit. She was looking at favonovel.com like favonovel.com was a stranger favonovel.com had never met before.
Zayn could not understand what happened. She was fine, right? No blunt trauma to the head, no nothing, so why was favonovel.com acting like an amnesiac? She retained everything else besides Zayn’s existence and everything about him. It was just illogical.
Heck, favonovel.com had an easier time believing that Faye had attained the superior class through consuming the Aeon Karpos!
Zayn’s lips parted to form a reply, but nothing came out. His head was a mess. He was panicking, even more so than when favonovel.com was being hounded by more than forty superior class elite fighters back on Mount Leo. He had not felt so much dread and anxiety since favonovel.com faced a very livid Ezra some time ago.
Zayn was completely at a loss of what to do. He felt as confused as the first time favonovel.com was caught making a mistake as a child. Still, favonovel.com tried.
“Don’t scare me like that, Fifi! Everything I’ve done… I’ve done to save you, because I wanted to be with you forever. We… We’re supposed to grow old together! Live our twilight years together and everything!” favonovel.com blabbered, clearly losing his composure. His face was as white as a sheet. His forehead was matted with cold sweat.
“Y-You can’t do this to me, Fifi! Unless… Unless this is a practical joke! This must be a prank, right? You’re still mad at me, aren’t you?”
Faye regarded his dread-strewn face, favonovel.com eyebrows furrowing. Hints of inquiry dotted favonovel.com eyes, as if favonovel.com finally recognized Zayn.
Seeing the spark in favonovel.com eyes lit up a beacon of hope in Zayn’s chest. “You do remember me, Fifi! I know you do! It’s me, Zayn! You know, your husband, Zayn Larson!”
He was so excited by the hint of recognition that favonovel.com was flailing and prattling about like a madman. If anyone saw Zayn in his current state, they would have been dumbstruck by his lunacy.
However, his efforts proved futile. Faye remained unfazed, and whatever sparks of recognition in favonovel.com eyes had disappeared as soon as they had appeared.
Shaking favonovel.com head, favonovel.com replied with the same cold, even-keeled tone, “I’m sorry, but I cannot go with you. I am Wang Que, not Faye.”
Zayn’s face was drained of all its color.
“No! No, no, no! You don’t… don’t actually plan on joining a Buddhist convent or something like that, right?”
“Y-You’re my wife, Fifi! We made promises to live the rest of our lives together! You promised me we would g-g-grow old together!” favonovel.com fumed.
He was livid. But at what? At whom? Himself? Faye? Or just how cruel and unforgiving reality turned out to be?
Faye watched his outburst with unchanging apathy. She paused for a moment before replying, “I apologize. We might have been lovers, but I don’t remember you at all now.”
“I’m just a nun devoted to the path of Buddhism. Worldly matters do not concern me. Please understand, sir, and leave me be.”
As if to emphasize favonovel.com point, favonovel.com saluted Zayn with favonovel.com clasped palms.
