I Forgot I Ever Loved You (Zoe and Hayden) novel Chapter 446

Sylvia looked at Zoe with deep concern.

“Zoe, I think you really need to think this through carefully.”

Zoe didn't need long to make up her mind.

“Then let Command HQ come to me. It's just a divorce. I never intended to drag Hayden down to the depths of hell anyway.”

Her main priority was protecting her children.

Subjectively, she felt zero emotional attachment to Hayden, but she didn't harbor any burning hatred either.

She refused to acknowledge the version of herself he claimed she used to be.

Zoe’s phone rang.

It was an unfamiliar landline number.

When she answered, the crisp, formal tone on the other end instantly put her on edge.

“Officer Lynd, this is...”

The caller named a highly classified department. Zoe inhaled a sharp breath.

“Hello.”

It took every ounce of her willpower to steady her voice.

“We received notice of your divorce from Commander Thorne and are calling to verify the details.

We need to schedule a home visit to thoroughly discuss the emotional state of your relationship. When would you be available?”

“...”

Zoe’s gaze instinctively dropped to her swelling belly.

A home visit.

If they saw her like this, her secret would be completely exposed.

Standing nearby, Sylvia looked equally panicked.

Thinking fast, Zoe kept her tone perfectly even. “I'm currently in the middle of a highly critical project and won't be available. Could we push this back by three months?”

A full-term pregnancy. Once she gave birth, she could schedule the home visit without any terrifying complications.
