When Love Breaks (Josephine)

"Finally, I get to see you. I really need to thank Mrs. Shaw Without her, who knows how much longer I'd have to wait to see my wife."

Zam wore a light smile as he looked at her from head to toe.

"When did you buy this dress? I don't think I've ever seen you wear it before."

Even though they were going to divorce, Josephine couldn't help but feel a sense of amazement. Incertain ways, Zayn truly went above and beyond.

He could remember every dress she had ever wom, every pair of shoes, and every piece of jewelry she had ever put on

How many men in the world could do that?

In the past, she thought his behavior was a sign of deep affection. Now, she could only commend him for his stellar acting skills.

"Zayn, you know I only agreed to come with you because of Mrs. Shaw. So, spare me the rehearsed lines. Let's go."

Lifting the hem of her dress, she headed for the door. Zayn chuckled softly and followed, saying, "You think everything I say to you is pre-written? Josephine, when did you start distrusting me this much?" She couldn't believe that he had the audacity to ask that.

Josephine couldn't hold back any longer. She stopped in her tracks, her gaze locking onto his proud, deep eyes. "Zayn, I don't

Before she could finish, he suddenly leaned closer. Startled, she thought he was about to kiss her and instinctively stepped back

However, all he did was pluck a tiny piece of lint from her cheek, rolling it between his fingers before blowing it away.

After that, he scoffed. "Did you think I was going to kiss you? Our here in public? You might not care, but I'm not shameless enough for that. Come on, let's not

With that, he grabbed Josephine's hand and led her toward the Bentley parked at the hotel entrance.

Josephine took a deep breath, trying to pull her hand free, but his grip only tightened.

Once inside the car, Zayn crossed his legs and leaned casually against the seat. He glanced at the box in her lap and asked in a serious tone, "Is that the gift you prepared? What's inside?"

To avoid any mishaps at the event, Josephine could only say, "It's a pair of heels, and it's a limited edition design by Thompson"

"Gosh, him again...

Zayn let out a disdainful chuckle

"He's a genius designer, even the biggest names in the industry have to book him months in advance, yet he's always at your beck and call. Don't you think he's being a little too attentive to you?"

That was because Thompson didn't just see her as Zayn's wi

wife. He also knew of her other identity, which was Director Jo

Besides, many of Thompson's designs were actually inspired by her ideas.

To Thompson, she wasn't just a random client. She was a friend, a confidante, and even someone he deeply admired.

Seeing her remain silent, Zayn couldn't help but speak again. "About that dress last time... I admit I was wrong. I've already arranged for someone else to design a new gown for you. It's worth ten times more than that red dress, and I'm sure you'll love it," Hearing his words, Josephine couldn't hold back any longer. "How are you so sure that I'll love it?"

Zayn raised an eyebrow as he asked, "Isn't something worth ten times more enough?"

"The way you measte value and the way I do...are they even the same? Besides...

Besides, if he gave her 100, he would give Nadine 1000.

No matter how valuable that 100 might be, it would always feel meaningless when overshadowed by Nadine's thousand.noveldrama

It was enough to make her feel disgusted.
