I Forgot I Ever Loved You (Zoe and Hayden) novel Chapter 192

Sienna hung up the phone, a triumphant smile on her face.

Hayden's dismissive attitude toward Zoe and Lily finally put her mind at ease.

She still remembered the sharp sting of jealousy she'd felt when Holden was hospitalized. She had wanted that wretched girl, Lily, to donate blood, but Hayden had defended her, saying Lily was his daughter too.

But after seeing his attitude today, she realized she had been overthinking it.

Still—

She had to be careful.

She could sense that Hayden's feelings toward Zoe were shifting from how they used to be.

Meanwhile, Zoe felt a small sense of comfort after getting Hayden's promise to attend the conference.

She could already picture the beaming smile on Lily's little face.

The next day.

Zoe dressed Lily up like a beautiful little princess.

Hayden changed into a smart-casual outfit, and the three of them headed to the Thorne Manor to see Grandmother Thorne.

When they walked through the door, Sylvia Thorne, Sienna, and Holden were already there.

Sienna had assumed Grandmother Thorne wouldn't invite Zoe to a family dinner.

Not only was Zoe here, but she had arrived in Hayden's car.

A bitter knot formed in Sienna's chest, but she plastered on a sweet smile and walked over to greet them.

"Hayden, Grandmother has been talking about how you never visit. You should go see her right away."

She naturally looped her arm through Hayden's.

The moment Holden saw Hayden, the chubby boy barreled forward, shoving Lily hard to the side.

He crashed into Hayden's arms. "Uncle Hayden! Why didn't you pick me up today?"

He shot a vicious glare at Lily.

That stupid girl was probably trying to steal his uncle.

As if she deserved him.

What a crybaby.

Hayden hugged Holden back while Sienna clung to his arm, instantly creating the picture-perfect image of a family of three.

Zoe reached out to steady Lily, her eyes flashing with anger.

"Are you okay, sweetheart?"

Lily shook her head, her tiny fists clenched tightly at her sides.

Sienna's son was the worst.

She wrapped her arms around Zoe's neck, the usual timidity completely gone from her wide eyes.

Lily leaned in and whispered in Zoe's ear.
