"I am relieved to hear you say that." When Ashley met her gaze, she suddenly had an illusion that she had been seen through by this pair of watery eyes, and those dark thoughts could not be hidden...

Ashley moved uncomfortably and changed the topic, "It's time for these maids to be dismissed. I’ve been here for a few minutes and I haven't even be served by a glass of water."

"She is a member of our family. Naturally, she has no obligation to serve tea and water for outsiders who harbor evil intentions."

"Don't get me wrong. I'm not talking about you," Zoey said with a smile as she lifted her eyes to look at Ashley slightly changed expression.

"Of course. We are besties!" The smile on Ashley's face stiffened, doubt arose in her heart as she thought,

“That was wired...

Could it be that this idiot had hit her brain when she was kidnapped by the robber, so the way she spoke and her gaze was different from usual?

Or did she know something?”

Above the stairs, Wyatt listened to the conversation between the two of them. Wyatt's hands, hanging by his side, were clenched so tightly that blue veins popped out,

“What a joke. Her changes these past few days made him naively think that she had really thought it through and planned to start over with him again. It turned out that it was just a new trick...

Her acting skills were getting better and better.”

After Ashley left, Zoey found that he was standing there, staring at her with a strange and unpredictable gaze.

Her heart skipped a beat.

"You still at home? Since when?"

"I just came out." Wyatt raised his eyebrows, and his breath was a little dangerous, “Why?"

"No, nothing."

Zoey breathed a sigh of relief. She saw him walk to the pantry and pour himself a cup of water. He held the cup in one hand and tugged at his collar. Two buttons on his shirt loosened from his collar, revealing his sexy Adam's apple...

She subconsciously swallowed her saliva.

In her previous life, she had probably been blinded by lard. She had actually ignored such a top-grade man and loved that scum, Howard.

"I plan to bring Vanny back from Mom in a few days. We are his parents, and we have the responsibility to take care of him."

"Zoey, I know what you want to do. I can endure it, but Vanny is still a child. As a mother, can you consider his feelings?"

"What do you mean?" Zoey's eyes widened.

She thought that what she had done was enough to show her attitude, but he thought that she was just acting and that she could even do something to hurt Vanny for the divorce?

That's right...

Her attitude towards him and Vanny in the past was so repulsive. The sudden change should make people think twice. Now that she had fallen into such a situation, it was all her fault.

"I am Vanny's mother. How can I hurt him?"

Wyatt stared at her closely. Naturally, he would not miss the slightest change in the expression on her face. After seeing her first shocked and then bitter face, he somewhat regretted what he had just blurted out without thinking.

He wanted to go forward and comfort her, but after his reason returned, he remembered what he had just heard.

It was all because of the man surnamed Tanner that she canceled her plans to divorce and stayed by his side.

The atmosphere was somewhat oppressive.

Or, it could be said that the aura on Wyatt was very low.

Zoey didn't want to explain any further, so she turned around and returned to the bedroom.

The night was dark, like a dark knitting network, covering the entire city. Outside the window, it was raining.

"Ahhhhhhhhh!"

In the dim light, Zoey was awakened by a nightmare, and her back was covered with a layer of cold sweat.

Her heart pained like it was being torn apart.

She once again dreamed of the scene in the mental hospital. Her parents, Wyatt, Vanny... all her relatives had left her, she had been aborted, and Ashley's hideous and twisted face.

Zoey hugged the pillow and got off the bed barefoot. She quickly ran to the next room, Wyatt's room.
