Half an hour later, Zayn arrived at the door of his house, but he did not enter right away because he was feeling slightly nervous. He found that rather unusual. After taking a deep breath, he chuckled bitterly twice before he mustered the courage to open the door at last. After entering the house, he heard joyous laughter and not the sound of people quarreling. The overall ambience was very harmonious, and he found the three women interacted harmoniously in the living room. Other than them, his in-laws were there too and also some relatives, all chatting happily. There were quite a number of young relatives surrounding Annabelle, sucking up to her in all sorts of ways. It was apparent that they were Annabelle’s fervent fans. It was a harmonious sight to behold. Zayn’s arrival immediately drew the attention of everyone in the house. “Zayn is home,” his father-in-law said happily. He waved his hand at Zayn and said, “You’re back, Zayn. We missed you very much, hah-hah!”His
They were very curious where Zayn had been for the past three months. These relatives were only ordinary people, so they were unaware of his heroic deeds in Yingland and Murica. It was unnecessary for him to tell them about all that, so Zayn casually made up an excuse. He held an extremely high status now, so these people would believe him without any hesitation regardless of what he told them. Annabelle found their interaction to be rather harmonious. It seemed that Zayn’s in-laws were unaware that Annabelle had been silently acknowledged as one of his mistresses. They regarded both her and Shaelyn as Faye’s friends. After the meal, it was already getting late. It was inappropriate for Annabelle to stay late because it was her first time being a guest here. However, Faye insisted on her staying the night. Annabelle was delighted, but at the same time, nervous and puzzled. She had no idea why Faye would be so enthusiastic. Could it be that Faye did not feel jealous at all?
Zayn was becoming infuriated. Was that how his wife Faye should behave? She behaved as if her husband was a public property and she was shoving her to another woman eagerly!Moreover, he had never thought of Faye as being such a person before.Even when he had been hiding his identity by acting like a deadbeat, Faye still had a strong sense of possession over him and would never allow him to flirt with any other woman. Nevertheless, it felt as if Faye was a changed woman and it was very strange. A tinge of agony appeared in Faye’s eyes and vanished instantly, so fast that not even Zayn noticed it. She furrowed her brows and said in a slightly angry tone, “What do you mean by what I have on my mind? Are you sick of me now?”Zayn was stunned and he was caught off guard by Faye’s unexpected anger. He hastily explained, “That’s not what I mean…only that you weren’t like this in the past. Have you forgotten that we’re husband and wife? It’s fine that you’ve accepted Shaelyn. After
Her reasoning was excellent. However, just as he opened his mouth to speak again, Faye hugged him. She placed her cheek on his chest and said softly, “Don’t question me like that anymore, Zayn, alright? It’s enough for me to know that you love me the most in your heart. A man as outstanding as you should not be kept all to myself. It’s unfair for you.”Upon hearing that, Zayn was rendered speechless and had no idea what he should say. In the end, he heaved a sigh, hugged Faye, and said, “I won’t make things difficult for you then, Fifi.”Faye smiled and said, “No, you’re not making things difficult for me. I’m very happy, you see. The more outstanding you are, it just signifies that I’ve got good taste and I’m lucky. I enjoy having a crowd. It makes the house livelier.”Zayn said, “Alright. However, I want to sleep with you tonight, is that alright?”“No!” Faye rejected him without even considering. She was very determined. Zayn asked, “Why?”Faye said, “Because tonight… I…
Zayn immediately knew that it was Annabelle when he heard the sound. She came just as expected. Moreover, he knew that it was Faye’s idea. Otherwise, Annabelle would never be so bold. The footsteps soon arrived at his door. Zayn heard Annabelle place her hand on the door knob in an attempt to open the door, but she did not have the courage to do so. She was anxious and hesitant. Frankly, Zayn felt rather frustrated. Annabelle lingered at the door for one full minute, yet she still could not muster the courage to open it and her breathing quickened. At last, she mustered her courage and opened the door. There was a soft clack. The dim lighting from the corridor shone into the room, followed by a charming silhouette. Who else could it be if not Annabelle?Zayn lay on the bed. Even if his eyes were close, he could tell how Annabelle looked now. She was overwhelmed with complicated emotions. After entering the room, she closed the door gently. Her heart was racing and beat
This time, Annabelle immediately came to understand it. Her face blushed scarlet instantly and she was extremely shy!She understood it well!Hence, the room was ghastly silent until Zayn said, “Go back to your room.”Annabelle clenched her teeth tightly, but she did not back away. On the contrary, she walked over and sat on the edge of Zayn’s bed. She said, “I’m not afraid!”Zayn said nothing.He felt very gloomy that Annabelle had utterly no idea what she had gotten herself into. Let alone an ordinary person like Annabelle, not even Faye and Shaelyn combined were his match. However, he knew that Annabelle would never retreat in the face of difficulties had he not taken some action. Hence, he wrapped his arms around Annabelle’s waist at once. Annabelle was startled just as expected. She shriveled at his touch. “Hey, don’t do that…”“I thought you claimed to be prepared? Why are you scared now?” Zayn's tone was tainted with a tinge of mockery. Annabelle was stuttering. Zayn
More accurately, her real identity was not Faye Carter and she was not the biological daughter of Waine and Ruby Carter. She had been adopted by Waine and Ruby. This was a secret that Waine and Ruby did not even know themselves!Waine and Ruby’s memories had been tampered with!In her dream, she was constantly running and there were numerous people chasing after her. The dense fog dispersed gradually and slowly turned the blurry scene crystal-clear. “Hydra, my sweet daughter. Why are you always trying to avoid me when I’m your father? You’ve already recovered your memories and you know that you don’t belong to the common word. Why won’t you open your heart to me?”Faye could hear a middle-aged man’s voice in her mind. The voice was filled with aggression and it was deafening without being loud. It was not the voice of a common man. It sounded like the voice came from the sky, like that of a god. Faye listened to the voice way too many times, and it was the voice that she feare
“It’s him! My father!”Shaelyn asked in astonishment, “Your father? Isn’t your father Mr. Waine Carter?”Faye shook her head and said, “No. Waine is my adopted father. I’m talking about him, my biological father. He’s about to find… He’s taking me away from here to go back to that icy cold place… But I don’t want to go back. Sob…”Even Shaelyn could not help feeling extremely shocked upon hearing that. Her jaw dropped in surprise. She knew that Faye had been having nightmares for a while, she had no idea that she was not the daughter of the Carters and had another identity!Shaelyn patted her and said, “Don’t be scared, don’t be scared. You have Zayn and he will certainly be able to protect you…”However, Faye interrupted her in a panic before she could finish her sentence. Faye hastily covered her mouth. “Don’t mention Zayn! He’s going to kill Zayn! If he finds Zayn, Zayn will die. He’s going to die…”Shaelyn was shocked even more after that, but after the momentary shock, s
