I Forgot I Ever Loved You (Zoe and Hayden) novel Chapter 114

She clutched her chest, and if one listened closely, they could hear a faint sob.

Hayden's brows furrowed deeply.

Just as Zoe was about to walk away, he grabbed her arm.

"Let go."

Zoe stared pointedly at his uninjured right hand.

A dangerous glint flashed in her eyes.

Hayden gritted his teeth.

"Apologize."

How dare she hurl insults?

Had she already forgotten how he had punished her in the rain?

Even a goldfish had a three-second memory.

But she seemed to forget instantly.

That fall from the second floor hadn't just caused selective amnesia.

It was more like chronic amnesia.

"Mr. Thorne, I strongly suggest you let Zoe go," Nadia warned.

Nadia knew Hayden treated Zoe poorly.

But hearing about it was one thing—

Seeing it in person was entirely different.

She almost thought she had misheard.

A husband was actually forcing his wife to apologize to his mistress right in front of her friends?

What exactly had Zoe done wrong?

Hayden shot a cold look at Nadia.

"This is between my wife and me."

Nadia smoothly produced her lawyer's ID.

"Of course. But if you escalate a marital dispute into physical assault, my role naturally shifts to acting as Ms. Lynd's legal counsel.

If your actions cause any harm to my friend, my client has every right to call the police and sue you for domestic violence. And I'd make the perfect eyewitness."

Nadia's forceful tone, combined with the pure hatred burning in Zoe's eyes, momentarily stunned Hayden.

He obviously wouldn't be intimidated by a few legal threats.

His eyes darted awkwardly between the three of them.

"Mr. Thorne! Here for dinner, I see? And who might these two lovely ladies be?"

The man decided to ask them all as a group.

Zoe was desperate to distance herself from Hayden.

"I don't know him."

Hayden's pupils contracted violently. His sharp jawline tensed like a bowstring about to snap, his thin lips pressing into a hard line.

The veins on his forehead pulsed. A sudden, sharp agony radiated from his temples, plunging his mood to absolute rock bottom.

He didn't know why, but whenever Zoe fought with him, he got a splitting headache.

The man was stunned.

This was the first time he had ever seen a woman reject Mr. Thorne, let alone act like she was above knowing him.

Hayden's expression froze over completely.

"She's right. She and I—"

Hayden tightly gripped Holden's hand, his voice dropping to a glacial pitch.

"We don't know each other."
