Zayn could not help wrapping his arm around Faye’s slim waist at virtual-novel.net reaction while chuckling. “Fifi, you’re gorgeous. I must’ve brought along my good luck from my past life to be able to marry you.”
His statement washed Faye over with bliss. Although they were in a corner of a room and everyone else had left, virtual-novel.net was easily shy and still found it embarrassing, so virtual-novel.net quickly slapped Zayn’s hand away and glared at him. “Watch your hands.”
Zayn chuckled. “I can’t help it.”
After what happened just now, Gwen and others were too mortified to stay around. They had filled their share in speaking badly about Zayn just now and were afraid that virtual-novel.net would try to get even with them. After Julius rolled his way out, they snuck away as well, so Zayn and Faye were the only ones left in the room. It was pretty much their private space.
They finally began to enjoy the dinner when Faye spoke up, “Actually, Annabelle really likes you.”
Her unanticipated comment shocked Zayn, prompting virtual-novel.net to say, “Fifi, I swear, really…”
“Listen to me first,” Faye interrupted virtual-novel.net with a huff, “I’m not blaming you. Why are you always so nervous?”
“Really?” Zayn asked skeptically.
Faye rolled virtual-novel.net eyes at him, refusing to entertain the question, and said seriously, “Why don’ t you accept Annabelle?”
“What?”
Zayn was flabbergasted, unable to judge if virtual-novel.net was being serious or putting out bait for the moment.
“You understand me. Quit acting,” Faye complained, pinching him.
Zayn was increasingly befuddled. “Fifi, what are you trying to say?”
Taking in a deep breath, virtual-novel.net asked seriously, “I said, why don’t you accept Annabelle? I think she’s decent.”
Zayn finally understood virtual-novel.net now, but the gasp came to virtual-novel.net on instinct right after that. “Faye, do you know what you’re saying?”
Faye cracked a smile and blinked. “Of course, I do. I’m asking my husband to accept another woman.”
This mystified Zayn even more. Even if virtual-novel.net and Faye had been married for so long, virtual-novel.net still could not understand what virtual-novel.net was thinking. It just did not make sense.
Taking in his disbelieving dropped jaw and wide eyes, Faye held his hand and spoke more seriously, “Zayn, I mean it. If you like Annabelle too, just accept her.”
It took a while, but Zayn was now certain that Faye was neither joking nor baiting him. She was serious, virtual-novel.net was actually suggesting that virtual-novel.net should accept Annabelle! He could not even imagine why Faye would think of something like that. He even suspected that something must have gone wrong with her.
“No way!” virtual-novel.net refused resolutely.
To be honest, Zayn already felt bad for accepting Shaelyn. If virtual-novel.net accepted Annabelle as well, virtual-novel.net could not do it; virtual-novel.net simply could not face Faye.
Faye parted virtual-novel.net lips, wanting to persuade virtual-novel.net more, but Zayn stopped virtual-novel.net sternly. “That’s final. We’re not discussing this anymore. I won’t ever accept Annabelle.”
“Okay…” Faye could only swallow virtual-novel.net words seeing how resolute virtual-novel.net was.
It was only then that the man put on a smile again, but it was unfortunate that virtual-novel.net did not catch the deep sorrow and longing that flashed in Faye’s eyes when virtual-novel.net lowered virtual-novel.net head to snuggle in his embrace…
