Given how smart Zayn was, he knew what Allana was thinking just by a glimpse at her expression. He asked with a chortle, “What now, Ms. Owen?”Allana felt wronged. She felt like crying. She had already ended up like this from her fall, and Zayn was still laughing at her! She wondered what her grandfather and father were thinking when they insisted that she marry a man like this!“You!” Failing to control her emotions, Allana’s eyes rimmed red and she actually teared up.Zayn was stunned. He did not mean anything else other than to joke with the girl, yet she was crying? What a weakling… He was a man who could not see women cry though, so he quickly said, “Alright, alright, let’s get you up. What are you even crying about? I was just kidding, didn’t you know?”Allana was further nettled by what he said. She had never had to put up with such annoyance! Immediately, she slapped away the hand that Zayn extended and barked, “Scram! I don’t need your help anymore, you annoying fella! Pig
Allana was terrified. She had been a clean freak since she was a child and was incredibly scared of creepy crawlies. In addition to her injured right leg, she clung to Zayn tightly. She patted herself at once to sweep the ants off. They were utterly disgusting!However, when her body moved, Zayn had to suffer.“Hey, can you not hug me so tightly? You’re snapping my neck off,” Zayn grumbled. He was currently nursing a headache. If others were to see Allana clinging to him so intimately, he could forget about actually clearing the air.Allana, who finally caught up with the situation, screeched in surprise and shoved Zayn again. She had forgotten that she was injured, so in her panic, she both pushed herself away and sprained her foot once more, making her fall yet again.Zayn was really speechless about her foolish manner. She was really clumsy. Unable to do anything else, he could only wrap his arm around her waist again to secure her.“Give me a break, will you?” Zayn scowled, lo
It was a heavy fall that probably slammed Bo’s butt flat. The young man hissed in pain. It only made him resent Zayn more as he struggled back up and commented icily, “So, you’re a martial artist too, I see. How dare you lay a finger on my girlfriend? You must be bored of this world!”Bo twisted and moved his body, his joints popping with the movement. Coupled with his sinister and enraged expression, he was pretty intimidating.Zayn wore a slight frown in annoyance. He had not gone all out on the guy because of Allana, but this fella was asking for it and pushing his limit.As a reputable person, it would really damage Zayn’s reputation if he fought with a mere experienced fighter.Allana spoke up quickly, “Bo Donough, what are you talking about? Stop it! He’s my friend. If it weren’t for him, I’d have been eaten by the stray dogs just now!”Bo could only stop and ask in concern, “What? Stray dogs? Are you alright now?!”He was about to help Allana over to him as he spoke, but t
“His name is Zayn Larson and he’s a friend of my grandfather.” explained Allana. Her brows were furrowed ever so slightly from being displeased with Bo’s attitude of obviously not trusting her. Bo immediately expressed his doubt, “Your grandfather’s friend? That’s impossible, right. I can see that this man’s not even 30 years old.”Allana’s brows furrowed even tighter now. She said in resentment, “Bo, what are you trying to say there, don’t you trust me? I’ve already explained to you that my relationship with him is innocent, it’s not what you’d imagined!”Bo was infuriated by Allana’s tone. He let out a heavy grunt and said, “Heh-heh, not what I’d imagined? Then you’re going to have to tell me what had I imagined then? Allana Owen, we’ve been together for three years or so and you’ve only allowed me to hold your hand at most. Other than that, there’s no other intimacy between us! On the other hand, you were cuddling in each other’s arms with him earlier…”A loud clap was heard.
For the next few days, Xander still did not come looking for trouble with Zayn while the entire Northmob Council remained still. It was as if Xander had forgotten all about Zayn. This made Zayn’s reputation grow even more famous without his notice. More people shifted their attention to Zayn, they anticipated how Xander would come looking for trouble with Zayn. As a result, more than a week passed, yet Xander had failed to do anything. It was completely different from Xander’s usual domineering mannerism. Did this mean that Xander was scared already and that he was too afraid to come looking for trouble with Zayn?As a result, the hottest topic of discussion in the circle recently was on this issue. Many people were talking about this. Zayn did not let his guards down because he knew that Xander would never possibly let him off easily. It had already been such a long time yet there was still nothing from Xander in the meantime. There could only be one reason for that. It was that
He felt mentally exhausted in the meantime. His father Fabian insisted on soliciting Zayn into the Owens through a marriage alliance. As a result, both Zayn and Allana objected to the idea strenuously. It was truly arduous for him to bring Allana and Zayn together forcefully by himself. Looking at his daughter’s stubborn yet disappointed face now, he felt tender-hearted so he waved his hand in frustration and said, “Alright, alright, if that’s how both of you think, I won’t impose anymore then.”Allana relaxed the tensed expression on her face. She was especially delighted because she did not expect that Zayn would speak on behalf of her. It seemed that the old man was not as evil as she imagined. Then, Seth apologized to Zayn, “Zayn, I’m really sorry that my daughter is so mischievous. Please don’t mind her.”Zayn waved his hand dismissively and said, “It’s fine, it’s fine. In truth, I admire Allana for her straightforwardness and outspokenness.”Allana rolled her eyes in conte
Yes. The silhouette that Zayn saw in the car was precisely Allana’s boyfriend, Bo, who he met a few days ago!Bo was enjoying an intimate moment with a woman in the car now. F*ck me, what a coincidence!Zayn was shocked. He had never experienced this throughout his 28 years of life. Moreover, the window of the Mercedes Benz was not shut. Zayn could hear their conversation across the distance of tens of meters due to his sharp hearing. Zayn shifted his gaze to look at Allana standing in front of him who was confident no for apparent reason. He was at a loss for words all of a sudden. If he were to let Allana witness the scene, how hurt would she be? Perhaps, she would even throw her doubt upon love even. Allana had no self-awareness. She let out a grunt and said in a displeased tone, “Why are you making that face, don’t believe in me? Bo and I have been dating for over three years and he has never attempted to take advantage of me. He has always prioritized my opinion and resp
Allana then took a few steps back to distance herself away from him. She said scornfully, “How could you still try to make excuses, you damn rascal. You’re disgusting!”Zayn felt speechless. He said, “It’s not me who is shameless but it’s your boyfriend Bo.”“Shut up!” Allana scolded ferociously, “You’re not allowed to criticize my boyfriend like that!”Zayn chuckled and pointed at the shaking Mercedes Benz ahead while saying, “What’s wrong with me criticizing me? If he has the audacity to do this, why isn’t it permitted for someone to criticize him huh.”Allana furrowed his brows in the meantime. “What nonsense are you talking about? Since when does my boyfriend engage in this sort of act? It’s best for you to explain yourself clearly or I’ll sue you for slandering at any moment!”Zayn said with a peculiar expression, “Could it be that you’re shortsighted that you can’t see who that is in the car?”It was only tens of meters away so theoretically, Allana was supposed to be able
