It must have been a long time since Zayne was last provoked by someone as the frustration he felt was written all over his face. In the end, he gritted his teeth and glared at John before marching out of the villa.
When the man was about to reach the entrance, he paused and turned around, shooting a glance one last glance at me before departing.
John scowled, “Does he really think the Ziegler family can get whatever they want in K City? Since he has the guts to pick on us, I’ll be sure to teach him a lesson!”
“John, cut it out.” I needed to keep the saga under control for the time being because the things they might be capable of had exceeded our expectations. As there were way too many variables, it would be better to lie low for the time being.
My brother finally kept his mouth shut at my warning. After we exchanged glances, he glared at Ashton before bouncing up the stairs, leaving Ashton and I alone in the living room.
Mrs. Eriksen had not seen me for a long time. After she had everything sorted out in the kitchen, she approached me with a bowl of soup and offered, “Mrs. Fuller, why don’t you finish this?”
To be honest, I was envious of Mrs. Eriksen and her bright personality. The woman became thrilled simply at another person’s presence.
I took the soup she offered me and said, “Mrs. Eriksen, could you give us a moment? Ashton and I have something to talk about. Please tell the others to stay away from us for the time being as well.”
“Alright. Please, take your time. I’ll go get you something else to eat. You have been away from home all this while. I’m afraid you’re not getting the attention and care you need. Since you’re back, make sure you’re not leaving anymore, okay? Allow me to take good care of you and your beloved children!”
“Mrs. Eriksen, please leave us alone,” Ashton interrupted her, chasing her out of the room without a second thought.
Immediately after her departure, Ashton took over the soup and started feeding me.
The man’s gorgeous face was merely a few inches away from mine. It felt so surreal. I secretly hoped everything that had occurred was nothing more than a nightmare.
After I finished half of the food, he broke the silence. “Why don’t you go ahead and ask me the things that are bothering you?”
