Forced Into Marriage: My Husband’s Too Mean novel Chapter 187

"Don't put it that way." Allie would be inexplicably nervous in front of Zayn, but in front of Shaun, she was frank. "Don't you want to help Lindsey forget Zayn? You've waited for her for so long and you’re now watching her suffer every day. Doesn't it hurt you? This won’t only help you, but it’ll also help Lindsey. It’s the best of both worlds!"

Seeing Shaun's thoughtful face, Allie hurriedly added, "Zayn’s blatantly hanging around those women on all sorts of occasions. He even let reporters write all that nonsense. How do you think Lindsey will feel? He simply doesn’t love her!

"Only you can give Lindsey true happiness. Otherwise, why would I, as Lindsey's best friend, risk her cutting off all ties with me to give you this idea? Lindsey’s hoodwinked because of Zayn's grandfather. Can't you see that Zayn’s just using her?"

Allie's tone as she said this showed disgust for Zayn, which was very fitting to her trying to help her friend at this moment.

Shaun was already suspicious of Allie, but at that moment, he was somewhat convinced by her words. His expression faltered and his eyes showed an internal struggle. He really wished that Lindsey would leave Zayn.

At that time, Allie's devil’s advocate voice, which seemed so compelling, sounded again, "Besides, don’t you want Lindsey?"

This was like the last straw that pushed Shaun over the edge. Shaun's already faltering self-control was about to be untenable.

He looked up at Allie, who also looked straight at him as she said, "Just do it. What’s done is done. If she hates you, then it just means that she has you in her heart. I'm going to check on her."

After Allie said that, she left looking a little pleased. It was time to let Shaun ponder over this by himself. Lindsey was Shaun’s heart’s desire and torment. Allie did not believe that Shaun would not be moved.

Shaun stared at his own shadow on the ground and stood there for a long time. The sound of the kettle boiling behind him suddenly pulled his thoughts back.

A drunk Lindsey was not too difficult to handle. Probably because she had too much pressure from the bottom of her heart, the alcohol seemed to have unlocked her shackles and made her want to let off steam. Every time she struggled to get up, she would fall back down because she had no strength.

Allie was trying to provide the best possible care for Lindsey, but her eyes were on Shaun.

"It's late, so I'm going home first." Allie smiled suggestively as she opened the bedroom door and looked back at Shaun. "Help Lindsey and help yourself as well."

Shaun looked at the woman with flushed cheeks who was lying on the bed seemingly in deep thought and looked as if he had not heard Allie.

Nonetheless, Allie knew that he would definitely consider her suggestion. She hooked her lips and did not hesitate to close the door behind her.

Shaun was silent for a long time and finally, the long-dormant beast in his heart conquered his reason as she slowly reached out to the button on Lindsey's collarbone...

On the other side, Zayn tiredly pinched his brow. He looked at his watch and saw that it was already past 9:00 pm.

He had been distracted since Quentin said those words that his work efficiency reduced.

When he thought that Lindsey and Allie always got into all sorts of trouble together. Zayn could not feel at ease and raised his hand to dial Quentin's internal hotline.

"Is Lindsey home yet?" As soon as Zayn said this, the phone on the table suddenly lit up.

The caller ID showed "Grandpa". Just then, Quentin's voice came through, "Not yet, they went back to Opal Suites."

Zayn’s eye twitched and slammed the phone down. He then picked up his grandfather’s call.
