Zayn carefully put Lindsey on the bed and patiently coaxed her before she finally settled down. He then sat down on the carpet next to the bed.
After some thought, he took a set of pajamas from the closet and helped Lindsey change into it so that she could sleep more comfortably.
The person on the bed just let him turn her around and was obedient.
She was so well-behaved.
When Zayn raised his head, he met Lindsey's round eyes, but those eyes were a bit wandering. It was obvious that her body was awake, but her mind was still confused.
Lindsey looked at the man in front of her with a somewhat strange expression. "Are you a dog?"
Zayn thought she would say something, but it turned out to be this. His voice was deep as he looked at Lindsey with dark eyes. “If I don’t bite you, you’ll never learn.”
Lindsey could not digest those words and just stared at Zayn for a long time. Suddenly, she leaned forward.
Zayn did not dodge and the next thing he knew, Lindsey bit him on the chin. He felt the pain within a few seconds.
Lindsey bit him for a while and saw that Zayn did not have any reaction, so she loosened her grip grudgingly. She then touched the mark on Zayn's chin and revealed a satisfied smile before lying back on the bed.
"You're the dog," Zayn said in a low voice after a long time.
He force-fed Lindsey the hangover tea, which helped with her headache. Lindsey made a fuss for a while and finally fell asleep.
Zayn sat on the edge of the bed and looked at her sleeping face. Only then did he have time to think about why Lindsey would be drunk.
Was it because the scandal he deliberately created over the past few days finally took effect?
Did this mean that Lindsey’s heart was not as tough as her mouth? But why did she refuse to admit it?
This knowledge did not bring Zayn much joy. Instead, it made his heart sink even more.
He had to force her like this before she was willing to reveal that little bit of concern for him, so what was he to her?
His heart that had just softened abruptly became cold and hard again.
"Lindsey Juhl, you only have two options, loving me and loving me more. There’s no third option." The man leaned in close to the ear of the unconscious woman on the bed and did not hide his thoughts.
When Lindsey woke up, Zayn was long gone and there was no trace of him left in the room. Lindsey had a splitting headache from her hangover. She thought that Allie had sent her back until she heard from Mrs. Wendy at lunchtime that Zayn had carried her back.
"Zayn, that kid...he left before dawn. Is he really that busy at the office?"
Lindsey silently drank the clam chowder and did not say anything for a while. Thinking of Zayn's scandals during this time, she suddenly felt a blockage in her throat and could not finish her soup.
"Aunt Wendy, today's soup seems a little fishy." She put the bowl down. She thought that the soup was a little too fishy, which made her feel like throwing up.
