I Forgot I Ever Loved You (Zoe and Hayden) novel Chapter 135

Mentioning her younger son brought Sylvia endless heartbreak.

Hayden lit a cigarette, extending his hand out the window. The smoke drifted away with the light breeze. He didn't take a drag, his expression remaining perfectly stoic, but the corners of his eyes reddened slightly.

Charles—

That was the only place in Hayden's heart that still held any warmth.

Hayden finally crushed the cigarette and flicked it into the trash can, letting out a cold scoff.

"Take Lily away? You almost had your bones broken by Zoe today. With the way she is now, are you planning to risk your life fighting her?"

Sylvia was stunned, and after a moment, anger flared up in her again.

"You! You go take Lily. Keep her around as a blood donor for Holden. Just don't let Zoe see her anymore. If you don't even have the capability to do that, what use are you?"

Hayden stared at Sylvia coldly. "False imprisonment is a crime. Leave me out of it."

Sylvia choked on her words, taking a few seconds to finally understand.

"I think you've gone crazy too, actually speaking up for Zoe. Don't tell me you're actually falling for that lunatic. What's wrong with Sienna?

She had a son with your brother, and your brother has been dead for four years. You and Sienna used to date anyway. Keep Lily, tell Zoe to get lost, and marry Sienna. Even Grandmother would support it.

If she disagrees, I'll go talk to her myself. I am your mother, Zoe almost killed me, and you still want her. Are you even my son?"

Sylvia aggressively swept everything off the bedside table onto the floor. Realizing her eldest son's subtle emotional shift toward Zoe, her face twisted in absolute fury.

Hayden let her throw her tantrum. Zoe had been driving him crazy for five years; if he didn't have a strong heart, he truly wouldn't have been able to handle bringing a woman into his home.

He was used to it. Sylvia's little outburst was nothing compared to Zoe's.

He waited until Sylvia had exhausted herself and run out of breath before standing up straight.
