Chapter 275
“Zayden?” In the dark garage, the light was on. Susan was laughing at Zayden, pulling him back to reality from her closed memory. He sat in the driver’s seat, motionless looking at the woman standing in front of the car. Her long hair was plain and she wore a light white dress, soft and moving, which was very similar to the previous Nelissa.
But it was not Nelissa.
The corner of Zayden’s mouth twitched sarcastically. He looked back and opened the door to get out of the car. Before he closed the door, Susan had already rushed over and hugged his chest. She rubbed his chest with her delicate and charming face like a little bird. She said in a sweet voice, “Come back early in the future. I will be afraid at home alone.”
“What are you afraid of?” Zayden’s voice was cold, and his slender hands were hanging on both sides of his body. Such a beauty was unmoved in Huai Le, Zayden. Susan looked up at him and saw a handsome face without any emotion. She was anxious and unwilling to give up. She was afraid of Zayden, and she hoped that this man would fall in love with her one day and fall in love with her charm.
The more excellent a man was, the more Susan wanted to conquer him and prove her charm.
Zayden lowered his eyes and asked Susan, “Do you have a lot of bad things to do? Are you afraid of being revenge?”
Susan’s face suddenly turned pale, and she had a lot of guilty thoughts. She looked at Zayden with red eyes and said, “Am I such a person in your eyes? For so many years, have I done anything wrong to you? It’s already in the past that you and Nelissa are together. I just like you, I just don’t want to see you and her good! I can confess to you. From the first time I came to the Quest family to see you, I fell in love with you.”
“I knew I couldn’t compare to Nelissa at that time, so I’ve been trying hard to change myself for you. But what about Nelissa? What did she do for you? What did she sacrifice for? When you were in a dilemma, she didn’t know anything. It was so hard for you to love her, but she finally left. She didn’t want you anymore. What else do you want from her?”
Susan’s tone was hysterical and excited. Half of it was to vent her inner twisted resentment. She was like an actor who had been in the play. She had always regarded Nelissa as an imaginary enemy. She secretly admired Edward while destroying Nelissa’s and Zayden’s feelings. But until now, these two men still loved Nelissa.
Susan was unwilling to give up. She wanted to win Nelissa once and see her completely down and down!
Zayden was silent from head to toe. He reached out and grabbed Susan’s hand. His strength was so strong that Susan almost cried in pain. Zayden said to her in an extremely calm voice, “You are really an incurable madman, but so am I.”
After that, Zayden let go of Susan’s wrist, turned away from the garage, and went into the house.
Susan covered her slightly red wrist with a painful face. She was so angry that she trembled all over and wanted to scream!
When she threw herself into Zayden’s arms just now, she smelled the smell of the disinfectant that belonged to the hospital on his clothes. Although it was light, she was sure that she didn’t smell it wrong.
Zayden had been to the hospital tonight. Was he going to visit Qi Chuying or was it related to Nelissa?
Zayden simply took a shower and came out of the bathroom barefoot. He went to the study and flipped through the documents. After looking at the mobile phone on the table a few more times, he still couldn’t focus. His heart was in a mess and he was in a very bad mood. He left the things on hand, got up, went to a small bar on the side, sat down, and poured himself glasses of wine.
As if he was going to numb himself, he drank all the wine in one gulp. The wine penetrated his intestines, making him numb and heartbroken.RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
Zayden, dressed in ordinary home clothes, was just like an ordinary man. He was handsome and good-looking. When he took off his business suit, it was like taking off his disguise. He also had feelings and would be fragile. Once, as long as he was by Nelissa’s side, he could completely relax himself. Now, he could only rely on alcohol anesthesia. When he woke up from a dream, it was the real life of walking dead.
This kind of life was even more difficult than when he was on the brink of collapse.
Zayden lay prone on the bar counter, drinking one glass after another. He drank a bottle of red wine alone and opened another bottle. His capacity for alcohol had always been very good. In addition, after all these years of training in the business world, he had to deal with the old foxes in the gang. His capacity for alcohol was getting better and better, and it was often difficult for him to get drunk. He clearly wanted to get drunk, but he couldn’t get drunk no matter how hard he tried. It was very bad.
The more he wanted to get drunk, the more he missed Nelissa. Zayden knew that he was the one who had driven himself crazy and was trapped by love for the past.
It was late at night, and it was very quiet.
At this time, the sound of the piano came from outside the study. It was very vague, and it was hard to hear clearly what music it was playing. Zayden’s hand that was holding the wine cup paused, and his turbid eyes became darker and brighter. He suddenly put down the wine cup, got up, and quickly walked to the door of the study, opened the door, and went out. His pace was very fast. The distance between the study and the piano room was only a short distance, but for Zayden, it was a line between the past and the present.
It was far away, not daring to think too much.
He stood in front of the piano room and heard the sound of the zither coming from inside. He put his gentle big hand in front of the door handle and paused for a while. Then he turned the door handle hard and opened the door. Under the soft white light, the slim figure of a woman sat in front of the piano with her back to him, and the sound of the zither could be heard intermittently.
At this moment, Zayden sank into a trance of memories. The past scenes seemed to be overlapping with the present. His Nelissa was waiting for him here. She always liked to ask him, did she know what kind of song it was? He didn’t know. He didn’t know that he didn’t have much knowledge and knew much less about it. But she would tell him patiently that she never showed any contempt for him.
She said that she liked someone listening to her playing the piano. There was no need for more audience, and he was enough.
She always liked to lean on his shoulder and say a lot of childish words to him. At first, he didn’t like her dependence, but later he was relying on her. With Nelissa’s dependence, he felt that his existence was valuable, and he was also needed by others.
It was so beautiful in the past, but now it had become cruel. It was more heart-wrenching than being separated.
Zayden looked at the slim figure in front of him in a daze. He stepped forward and patted her on the shoulder. She slowly turned to look at him. It was Susan.
In fact, Zayden knew very well that it couldn’t be Nelissa. Nelissa couldn’t come back again, but at this moment, he was very angry!
“Have you been drinking?” Susan asked the man carefully. The man’s eyes were red, and there was a kind of fierceness in them, which was very scary. Susan calmed down and asked, “Are you in a bad mood? I’m also in a bad mood. Since no one can find a way to vent, why don’t we be presumptuous once? Let’s do something happy. The night will soon pass, and we can put all the troubles aside.”
Susan wrapped herself around Zayden’s tall body like a beautiful snake. Her red lips smelled his face, and her white hands touched his chest, winding under his body…
