I Forgot I Ever Loved You (Zoe and Hayden) novel Chapter 113

Hunter's face darkened as he yanked Zoey to his side, speaking with an unprecedented harshness.

"Let's go."

Seeing that Hunter was genuinely furious, Zoey's beautiful face scrunched up in ultimate grievance.

It was clearly Zoe who had seduced him!

She absolutely didn't believe Hayden had planned this gathering.

She just couldn't fathom why Hayden was protecting Zoe so fiercely.

Their marriage was famously known as a sham in both families.

Hayden had never given his wife the time of day.

Rumor had it that the woman Hayden truly loved was his late brother's widow.

The highly praised socialite, Sienna Winters.

"But—"

Seeing that Zoey was about to argue, Hunter tightened his grip on her arm.

"Haven't you embarrassed us enough? If you're not leaving, I am."

Hunter turned and stormed off.

He looked so utterly defeated that even Zoe felt a pang of pity watching his retreating figure, though there was nothing she could do about Hayden.

Seeing Hunter leave without her, Zoey wiped her tears and scrambled after him.

Zoe immediately slipped off Hayden's lap, forcefully prying his restrictive arm from her waist.

Before she could even demand to know why he was here—had he been stalking her?

A small figure sprinted over from a distance and threw himself straight into Hayden's arms.

"Uncle Hayden."

Holden Thorne glared at Zoe with absolute hostility, clinging to Hayden and refusing to let go.

"Hayden, Holden saw you and just had to run over. Sorry about that," Sienna Winters said smoothly as she approached.

Sienna cast a dismissive glance at Zoe and Nadia.

Her entire demeanor oozed condescension.

She seamlessly glided over to stand right next to Hayden.

"Ms. Fox, you and Zoe are eating here too? Would you like to join us?"

She spoke as if she owned the place.

In five years, Hayden had never once taken her to a nice restaurant.

Though Zoe didn't have all the details.

She knew perfectly well that Sienna and her so-called husband used to be an item.

The media had publicized their romance so relentlessly back then.

To the point where everywhere they went, they made front-page news.

Yet facing Zoe now, Sienna had never once acknowledged her properly.

Zoe's expression turned glacial. "No thanks. I don't like sharing a table with a bitch."

The moment the words left her mouth, Sienna's face twisted.

How dare she?

And to insult her right in front of Hayden?

In the past, Zoe had been so desperate for approval she practically bowed down to her.

Whenever Sienna was around, Zoe had always cowered and hidden.

Sienna was so furious her face flushed crimson.
