I Forgot I Ever Loved You (Zoe and Hayden) novel Chapter 166

He had definitely seen Zoe laughing and talking with the professor just a moment ago, which was exactly why he had walked over.

He hadn't absorbed a single word Sienna had just said.

"Hayden—"

Noticing he had zoned out again, her face grew icy.

He snapped back to reality, his gaze turning distant.

"You handle things here for now. I have some business to take care of."

It was almost time for Lily to finish school, and he had texted Zoe to go pick her up.

Lately, Zoe had been like a slippery eel, impossible to catch.

He didn't even have to try to avoid her.

She disappeared on her own accord entirely.

He vaguely felt that she had been very "busy" lately.

For the past five years, she had been incredibly busy too.

Whenever he was expanding the company's operations, she was working overtime day and night.

Her performance metrics were consistently the best in the company.

But because of her title as a secretary, all the credit went to the department, and none of it directly to her.

She had never asked him for a bonus. She never fought for annual company rewards or vacation spots.

And he had never offered them.

In his world, she was like a hidden diamond, glowing quietly in the background, her true value completely unacknowledged.

He never felt the need to give her anything.

From what he remembered, the only thing she ever wanted was his love.

Hah—

Such a ridiculous, worthless thing in the eyes of a man.

He didn't even know if the "love" she wanted truly existed.

And now, she finally didn't want his "love" anymore.

But he felt like she had started wanting other things instead.

Like buying herself a car.

She wore the ridiculously expensive designer clothes he bought her without even saying thank you.

She was becoming materialistic.

She even went to the company's finance department and withdrew the four years of salary she had never touched.

The only thing she didn't want anymore.

Seemed to be that "love" he believed had never existed.

But now, it was his turn to be unhappy.
