I Forgot I Ever Loved You (Zoe and Hayden) novel Chapter 193

Grandmother Thorne's words drained the color from Sienna's face, leaving her flushed with embarrassment and then stark white.

Sylvia bristled at the mere mention of Zoe's name.

"Mother, I actually think Sienna and Hayden are a perfect match. It's only a matter of time before they end up together. Zoe is just being stubborn by refusing to let go of him."

"That will never happen."

"That's absurd."

Hayden and Grandmother Thorne spoke at the exact same time.

The moment his grandmother had scolded Sienna, Hayden had subtly pulled his arm free from her grasp.

"Sienna and I will never be anything more than brother-in-law and sister-in-law. There will never be any other relationship between us."

Sienna hadn't expected Hayden to say that out loud. Her face turned ashen.

Sylvia's face flushed bright red with indignation.

Grandmother Thorne paused, then smiled in satisfaction at her grandson's firm stance.

"Did you hear that, Sienna? Keep your boundaries clear."

She then pointed an accusing finger at Sylvia. "Sienna is young and confused, but you aren't senile yet, are you? That is in the past. You're completely out of line as a mother-in-law.

Instead of helping Hayden and Zoe repair their marriage, you're constantly stirring the pot. If you still want to be respected as the matriarch of the Thorne family, I suggest you take a long, hard look in the mirror."

The harsh reprimand completely silenced Sylvia.

"Alright, out, all of you. It's time for dinner, and I'm starving," Grandmother Thorne announced.

Mary helped the older woman up from her chair.

As she stood, a book she had been sitting on was revealed.

Hayden glanced at it and casually reached out to pick it up.

Panic flashed across Grandmother Thorne's face, and she snatched it back instantly.

"Don't go snooping through my things! Show some respect," she scolded, clutching the book tightly to her chest as if guarding a top-secret file.

Hayden's gaze darkened.

Wasn't that one of the comics Zoe had drawn?
