Love That Wasn't Meant to Last novel Chapter 60

"Hudson, what are you zoning out for? Think of something!" Zion interrupted my thoughts.

I glanced at Sylvia's number on my phone and sighed.

When he saw this, Zion rolled his eyes. "I haven't even started sighing, so why are you sighing?"

He rubbed his brow, looking visibly troubled and upset by Sylvia's sudden arrival.

"I don't know why your girlfriend came to Adenville. Whether she's here to see you or just to have fun, one thing's for sure. Selena can't know she's here, and she absolutely cannot find out about this girlfriend of yours."

He scratched his head, rolling his eyes again. "If Selena finds out, it would be a miracle if she didn't get mad."

Of course, I knew that. It was why I called Zion here in the first place.

After all, two heads are better than one, right?

Zion stood up and started pacing, as if trying to work off his frustration. Then, he turned back to me and asked, "So, how long is your girlfriend planning to stay? When will she be leaving?"

"I don't know," I answered hopelessly.

Since arriving in Adenville, and under Zion's watch, I didn't get many chances to speak to Sylvia. I had no idea what she had been going through lately or what she was thinking.

She didn't discuss it with me before coming to Adenville. Her unannounced appearance had completely thrown me off.

When he heard this, Zion's eyes widened in disbelief. "Hudson, be honest with me. Did you really have no clue she was coming?"

It triggered me and I shoved him away. "If I break up with my girlfriend, then I'll leave Adenville, and I won't be around to help with Selena's treatment."

I turned to him with a cold smile. "Then let me ask you, what's so special about Selena that makes her worth all this trouble for you?"

A few months ago, Zion was full of confidence. Even as Selena's assistant, he had approached everything with a bright and upbeat attitude.

Now, though, it was visibly different. He looked exhausted all the time. Though he was in his 20s, he looked as tired as someone in their 30s, like me.
