Forced Into Marriage: My Husband’s Too Mean novel Chapter 3

International Finance Center.

After Zayn Guggenheim finished his last video conference of the day, his secretary knocked on the door and entered the room.

"President, you’ve received a call from the mansion. They said you haven’t gone back in a long time, so they would like you to go back for dinner tonight."

Zayn’s hand that was flipping open a file paused in mid-air as he thought about the last time he went back. It was half a month ago.

Since there was no mention of Lindsey Juhl from the mansion, he accepted the invite.

This woman would not be around for long, so there was no longer a need to make a show of it in front of Grandpa.

In the evening, the black Maybach stopped at the entrance of the mansion.

The first thing Zayn saw was Lindsey sitting on the sofa, laughing with his grandfather. He was about to turn around quickly to leave but was stopped by his grandfather.

"Zayn, you’re back! Sit down, let’s talk."

Zayn had no choice, but to obey. He handed over the things he brought to the maid and sat down next to his grandfather.

"You kids...you haven’t visited me in half a month and didn’t even give me a call! Lindsey, you’re still such a sweetheart. I'm a lonely old man and it is so nice of you to come and keep me company."

After the old man spoke, Zayn's piercing glare fell directly onto Lindsey.

Lindsey's heart tightened as she ignored his intense glare and replied, "Don't say that, Grandpa. I love visiting you."

"Since you enjoy it, why not keep him company for these few days," said Zayn. His veiled question did not embarrass her, but Lindsey could infer the true meaning behind his words -- after these few days, she would never have the chance to come to the mansion again.

Lindsey pretended to not understand Zayn's underlying message, looked up, and forced a smile as she said, "Okay."

"Grandpa, didn't you say you’ve got a new vinyl? I’d like to go with Zayn to have a look."
