Chapter 1697
“Alright, alright. Thank you, Master Zayn.” Hana was extremely grateful, but she did not go overboard with her mannerism. Since the very beginning, Hana had never appeared to be fawning over Zayn or anything like such. When Zayn was leaving Hana’s house in his car, he thought to himself that no matter how he looked at it, Tessa’s mother seemed to be a woman who behaved with propriety and had self-restraint. She was not at all like the unbearable woman that Tessa’s father had described her to be. Could it be that Hector and Tessa were both lying? Especially Hector, who had once thought of committing a crime and had a gambling problem in the past. Zayn was slightly doubtful of Hector’s character.
When Zayn left Hana’s house, he wanted to call Tessa to ask her about the matter, but after he thought about it, this matter was not something that could be easily clarified with just a few words. He thought that it would be better to slowly talk about it in the future after resolving the old lady’s matter.
After Zayn sent Aino back to her house, he went home. After he finished washing up that night, he received a call from Tessa. He called out gently into the phone. “Tessa, haven’t gone to bed yet?”
“Mm-hmm! You had promised to treat me to dinner today, but it fell through in the end, so I can’t fall asleep,” Tessa chirped.
“Then I will make it up to you next time. I will do a lot more to make it up to you, alright?” Zayn said gently.
On the other end, Tessa acted like a pampered child. “ Mm-hmm. I am also a little jealous. Zayn, how great would it be when you love me as much as you love Aino?
Zayn laughed. “I love you and Aino all the same.”
After giving it some thought, he said truthfully, “ Perhaps I will love you more than Aino someday in the future. After all, Aino is growing up. After she is all grown up, she will have her own life, have her own boyfriend, and then get married. She could meet someone who cares and loves her. Gradually, she will no longer need her parents and uncle to meticulously care for her anymore. However, we’re different. We have to go through thick and thin together for life. Our affection will grow deeper with time.”
Tessa was touched when she heard that. “Is that true, Zayn?”
Zayn smiled, “of course! So, do as I say, alright?”
Tessa replied in a sweet tone, “Don’t worry, Zayn. I will do everything as you say. I’ll be at your disposal for life.”
“Good. You have to keep your words,” Zayn said with an underlying meaning in his words.
“Mm-hmm! I will keep my word.”
