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.

Zoe unconsciously rubbed her belly and offered a faint smile.

“Well, that's a problem for three months from now.”

For the next several weeks, Zoe pushed all thoughts of the impending divorce to the back of her mind, dedicating herself entirely to her studio work.

She was fully immersed in developing her AI emotional companion robot.

Once the full-scale prototype was completed, she hosted an exclusive reveal inside her studio.

Professor Layne attended, alongside Zenith’s top engineers and a group of his brightest students.

When the incredibly lifelike emotional companion robot was unveiled, Zoe stepped up to demonstrate its capabilities.

It featured realistic synthetic skin and was designed for face-to-face interaction. The microscopic cameras embedded in its eyes analyzed the micro-expressions of anyone it interacted with, feeding the data directly into its core processor.

The AI could instantly assess the user's emotional state and react flawlessly.

Human-machine interaction became astonishingly vivid and engaging.

“This AI robot will officially hit the market next month. Godfather, I'll be counting on you and Garrett to help with the promotional seminars.”
