I Forgot I Ever Loved You (Zoe and Hayden) novel Chapter 410

She knew Hayden treated her like something precious. No matter how much Zoe fought, Sienna would always be the ultimate winner.

Sienna gave him a gentle smile. She resolved to play the role of the perfect, supportive partner even better from now on, handling her own messes so she wouldn't be a burden to him.

The next day, when Zoe and Garrett arrived at the military base, Hayden was already there.

After their recent clash, Zoe assumed Hayden would give her attitude or outright ignore her.

Instead, he acted completely normal, treating the base like any other workday.

He even greeted Garrett with a polite "Mr. Kendall" before diving into a progress report with Director Yates.

Once they got down to business, it was actually Hayden and Zoe who interacted the most.

The two of them engaged in an intense, high-level debate over jet propulsion technology and aerial stealth mechanisms.

Garrett couldn't understand a word of it and just watched in silence. Timothy chimed in occasionally, but even he struggled to follow their most advanced technical arguments.

In terms of real-world combat experience in Southeast Asia, Hayden definitely outranked Timothy. Timothy had to admit he was out of his league here.

"It seems even Mr. Thorne isn't immune to Ms. Lynd's brilliance," Timothy chuckled, whispering his grievances to Garrett.

He had initially thought Hayden was only at the base to chase a pretty face, but over the last few days, he had witnessed a genuine mutual respect between them.

"Mr. Thorne and Ms. Lynd actually... make a really good match."

Timothy sighed in genuine admiration. Garrett shot him a strange look, then glanced at Hayden with an inward sneer.

He wondered what the Director would think if he knew Hayden and Zoe were actually married. Would he still think they were a 'good match' if he knew this so-called husband constantly belittled his own wife to protect another woman?

Still, objectively speaking, when they weren't at each other's throats, Zoe and Hayden did look striking together.

Both ridiculously attractive, both brilliant in their fields.

Whenever Zoe and Hayden got locked in a work discussion, it was nearly impossible for anyone else to interrupt.
