I Forgot I Ever Loved You (Zoe and Hayden) novel Chapter 153

After returning to Blackwood Manor, Zoe stared blankly at the box of comics in her room.

Driven by some strange compulsion, she walked over and pulled one out. It had no cover, just handwritten numbers listing the sequence on the white binding.

She had only taken a small glance that day, but to be fair...

She felt her drawing skills were quite good.

She hadn't drawn this sort of thing before. The strokes, the lines, and the hand-applied screentones—it all gave off a distinctly vintage yet highly erotic vibe.

She had been too embarrassed to look at it in front of Nadia Fox.

Holding a copy like a thief, Zoe thought for a moment before locking her door.

She went in with the intention of just taking a single glance, but as she read, she became completely engrossed.

The explicit scale of the drawings was massive.

Zoe secretly cursed Nadia as a pervert while reading.

Filling her head with this kind of stuff since high school.

Her face flushed crimson, and her mouth went dry as she read.

It was obvious at first glance that the two main characters in the comic were based on herself and Hayden.

Hayden looked impeccably dressed in every chapter, but beneath the suit, he was completely bare.

Zoe was used to seeing his spectacular physique drawn from all sorts of angles.

But she never expected that she could conjure up even more outrageous angles and expressions for him in the comic.

Before she knew it, she had seamlessly flipped through all five volumes.

Zoe was dumbfounded, and eventually, she had to force herself to shove the books back into the cardboard box.

She sat on the floor for ten minutes, slapping her cheeks to cool down, but the tips of her ears still burned.

Damn.

Did she really draw Hayden that...

Seductive?

If it weren't for her absolute lack of interest.

If the "Blaze" under her pen wasn't Hayden...

She definitely would have tried to get a taste.

Zoe finally managed to suppress the wicked thoughts in her mind.

No, keeping this stuff around was a disaster waiting to happen.

She had to get rid of them immediately.

"In a hurry to leave, Mrs. Thorne?"

Hayden hadn't yet focused his attention on the book in his hand.

He had taken his private jet back the moment he received Quentin's message.

Having been gone for a week, he figured Zoe should have realized her mistakes by now.

Instead...

She was out on a date with someone else.

Hayden's face was terrifyingly dark.

Zoe's heart raced as she stared fixedly at the comic in his hand.

She only prayed he wouldn't look at it.

Otherwise...

She would die of social embarrassment on the spot.

Sure enough, Hayden didn't look at it, but he held it in his hand, stroking the pure white, blank cover with his distinct knuckles, almost as if caressing a woman's skin.

With his every movement, Zoe's heart pounded wildly, and her blood pressure soared alongside his actions.
