When the Haskins family heard the address, their heads all turned towards the corner of the room.
Previously quiet in the corner, Zoey suddenly became the center of attention.
Her cheeks blazed with a heat she couldn't hide; her posture stiffened.
"Mr. Haskins."
Fitch's brow furrowed at the formality. She usually called him “Fitch” when they were alone, but now it became “Mr. Haskins”?
He was slightly displeased, "Come here."
Zoey made her way over, acutely aware of Mia's cold, disdainful, even hateful gaze upon her. It all came back to Mia in a rush: wasn't this the same woman caught in a scandalous embrace with her brother in his car that very night?
Damn it, this woman was still trying to make her presence felt while her brother was grappling with amnesia!
Mia glared fiercely at Zoey, but she bit back her anger, knowing that now was not the time to cause a scene. Her brother's surgery was paramount—
He must remember everything soon, so that the situation with the Haskins family could stabilize.
Fitch caught Zoey's hand, sensing her unease.
"Are you worried about me? It's just a minor operation. The doctor said I'll be awake in three hours."
Zoey's mouth was full of bitteness, but in front of so many people from the Haskins family, it was inappropriate to be too blunt.
She bent down slowly and whispered in his ear: "Fitch, when the surgery is done, could you call out my name first?"
Her posture could be considered humble; her lowered eyelashes also made her seem somewhat fragile.
Fitch immediately tightened his grip on her hand.
"Yeah."
Relieved, Zoey released his hand. "Go on in, then."
Fitch thought it over, then addressed the others of the Haskins. "I have no intention to divorce Zoey. You can save your breath. From now on, she is my wife."
Mia's world spun. This shameless woman, Zoey, was pretending to be her brother's wife while he was vulnerable? That was truly despicable!
"Brother! You've been deceived by this woman; she has no relation to you. She’s just a lowly harlot. She has no right to be my sister-in-law!"
"Shut up!"
Fitch's expression turned very cold. Even with his memory lost, his presence was formidable.
Mia was afraid of him and quivered with fear.

The readers' comments on the novel: Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja)
Author, would you story about Ryan settling down and another story on Eric regaining his body and memories back from Patrick, and Eric also settling down as I find it so disheartening for him to have gone through what he went through at the research institute, and I'll like for him to get his "golden boy" life back though, not at the detriment of Ian....
When will the author update to finish Beck's story? What about Dylan and Tyler's love lives? Also, I'll like the author to write on Wilma and Elvis ending up together as she was quite persistent in pursuing him. And Shawn's story, Cornelia Sullivan and Omar Casson. Also, a little write-up on Jeff (Ian's assistant) love life, too. Thanks, author for updating....
