The next day.
Zoe woke up early to interrogate Mrs. Gable.-
"You were carried back to the house yesterday. You lost consciousness briefly, but the doctor assured us it was nothing serious.
Mr. Thorne had a full medical team run tests on you, and it was just a mild concussion. The doctor never mentioned anything about amnesia. Are you entirely sure you don't remember anything?"
Mrs. Gable stared at Zoe with overt suspicion, clearly not buying a word of it.
"When did I marry Mr. Thorne?"
She sat rigidly on the sofa, feeling entirely out of place.
She felt like an imposter in this house, let alone the mother of Hayden's child.
Mrs. Gable's suspicion deepened.
"You married him five years ago, Ms. Lynd. Lily just turned four."
Zoe furrowed her brows. Was this a sick joke?
Today was supposed to be Hayden and Sienna's wedding day. How could she have been married to him for five years?
Footsteps echoed from the staircase. Hayden descended, looking impossibly elegant. He wore a crisp white dress shirt with a tailored black suit jacket draped over one arm.
Zoe studied him closely, realizing that compared to the man from five years ago in her memories, this Hayden carried a distinct, mature air of a husband.
He walked right past her, exactly as she remembered him doing.
His gaze didn't linger on her for even a second.
It didn't matter that her beauty was legendary across New York's high society; to him, she was invisible.
"Hayden—"
She called out. Hayden paused, turning his head slightly toward her as if just noticing she was there.
Mrs. Gable stole a glance at her boss and immediately noticed his expression darkening like a storm cloud.
Terrified, the housekeeper kept her mouth firmly shut. Hayden looked away, resuming his path toward the dining room.
"Honey?"
With that single word, Mrs. Gable's fear dissolved into amusement.
She let out a laugh before hastily clapping a hand over her mouth.
