Rebirth In Divorce My New Mr. Perfect (by Summer Knowles) novel Chapter 822

Men understand other men's thoughts best.

No matter how deeply Leon tried to hide his desires, Zachary saw right through him.

Though he tried to control himself, his mood had soured completely. Getting into the car, he couldn't help but take out some frustration on the door.

Sarah could guess what was bothering him but pretended not to notice.

Fortunately, Mia was in the car. She rolled her eyes and spoke up first. “Zachary, what's wrong?"

Zachary had never been good at hiding things from Sarah. His face darkened as he tried to soften his tone. "What's his condition?"

Sarah played dumb. "Who are you talking about?"

Zachary honked the horn, his anger intensifying. "Sarah!"

Mia deliberately chimed in, "I know! That guy said he has lovesickness, and it's really serious too."

Zachary let out a cold laugh that seemed to drop the car's temperature several degrees.

Mia glanced nervously at her brother's expression and couldn't help rubbing the goosebumps on her arms.

She was most afraid when her brother looked like this.

She remembered clearly—whenever Zachary wore that expression, someone was about to have a very bad day.

The three of them rode in silence. Mia had stayed up late the night before and fell asleep halfway through the ride, using Sarah's lap as a pillow.

Through the rearview mirror, Zachary watched Sarah gently stroke Mia's hair, and felt an unexpected pang of jealousy. He couldn't stop himself from saying, "She's heavy. You can move her head aside."

Sarah shot him a look, annoyed by his chattiness. "Focus on driving."

Zachary had no choice but to shut up.

Leon wasn't nearly as nonchalant as he appeared on the surface.

He'd always been the type who had to possess whatever caught his interest.

He'd only been playing around with the chase because it amused him—acting like some lovesick teenager.

But Zachary's threat had shattered that game.

Though Leon had never directly crossed swords with Zachary, he knew the man's methods wouldn't be easy to handle.

If he kept playing this game, he might walk into a trap someday—hardly worth the risk.

But giving up wasn't an option either.

After leaving the university, Leon made a U-turn and headed straight to the Wilson family residence.
