I Forgot I Ever Loved You (Zoe and Hayden) novel Chapter 553

Right now, Hayden was definitely doting on Zoe. The way he carried her out of that restaurant didn't look like an act.

Seeing her daughter still weighed down by anxiety, Mrs. Winters ignored Julian's shameless flattery.

"What exactly is going on between you two? Tell me."

"I think he's treating Zoe differently. He's been going over to Sterling Group a lot lately. And last time I was in his office, there was another woman—someone I'd never seen before. She's the one who nearly broke my wrist."

Over the years, she had always been confident that she was the only woman in his life. But suddenly, everything felt tilted on its axis.

Mrs. Winters was stunned, refusing to accept the narrative.

It was impossible. He hadn't felt a spark for Zoe in five years—how could he magically fall in love with her now?

Especially when Sienna was at the absolute peak of her success.

"Are you just stressed from work and letting your imagination run wild? What does Zoe have that could possibly make him fall for her? Any other man might mess around, but not Hayden.

"Have some confidence. He's had eyes only for you for years. A man with his wealth has women throwing themselves at him constantly, yet he never bites. Stop overthinking."

She almost laughed at the absurdity of her daughter's fears.

Julian, on the other hand, sat on the sofa deep in thought. Who knew his straight-laced future brother-in-law had a wild side?

He had always assumed Hayden was relentlessly devoted to Sienna, but apparently, the guy played the field behind closed doors.

If he had known, he wouldn't have hidden his own habits. They could have partied together.

Then he wouldn't have to sneak around with the company interns until the early hours of the morning.

Those fresh college grads were so naive and easy to manipulate. Buy them dinner twice, and they wouldn't even ask for their intern stipends.

He expensed it all to the company anyway, pocketing the difference. He didn't care about the chump change, but he loved the variety of women.

The top-tier beauties required heavy investment, while the random flings were just for a quick thrill.
