Still Wanna Escape After Stealing My Heart? novel Chapter 1648

Seeing Tessa explode in anger like that, Zayn immediately asked with concern, "Tessa, what’s wrong? What happened?”

Tessa immediately put her phone down, raised her head to look at Zayn. She smiled miserably. "I'm sorry you had to see that, Zayn. I...actually, it's nothing much. It's nothing."

She lowered her head, and her tears dripped down. After taking a pause, she raised her head to look at Zayn again. "Zayn, let’s...eat."

Zayn held Tessa's hand. "Tessa, I am your boyfriend. W e are going to be married in the future. Your matters are mine as well. No matter what issues you need to handle, I can help you with it. Trust me. Your future husband still has this bit of capability."

Tessa pursed her lips and smiled. After that, she shook her head. "It's nothing, Zayn.”

"What exactly happened? Do you want me to die of anxiety? You are already going to take it to court! Who is pestering you? Quickly tell me!" Zayn was anxious. H e looked at her with concerned gaze, and Tessa finally could not hold back anymore. Her tears came gushing down her cheeks.

She looked at Zayn very helplessly. "Zayn, I... I have a mother who is insatiably greedy, especially when it

comes to money. Actually, she and my father are already divorced. However, she kept pestering my dad and has been greedily eyeing my dad's property."

"Your...your mother?" Zayn asked.

He looked at Tessa in great shock. He had already known Tessa for one and a half months, and he had never heard Tessa mentioning her mother. However, h e had occasionally heard her mentioning her father. She had mentioned that her father had opened a medium size tobacco and liquor store, and he was also into some wholesale business. His annual income is almost two million dollars. Zayn had heard from Tessa that although her family was not extremely wealthy, they were also considered well-off. Therefore, Tessa had never needed to worry about living necessities since young, and she was a pure child with little concept of money. Zayn also knew that Tessa’s dad doted on his daughter very much. He loved Tessa dearly. He was a very good cook and always cooked for Tessa.

Tessa had once even told Zayn, "There was once I was so well fed by my dad that I truly was as fat as a little pig."

From what Tessa had said, Zayn could tell that she and her father had a very good relationship. However, the only thing was that Zayn had truly never heard anything about Tessa’s mother. In the past month or s o, Zayn had always thought that Tessa's mother might also be doted on by Tessa's father just like Tessa, as if she was a teenage girl. He thought that her mother rarely needed to ask about family matters, so that was why Tessa rarely mentioned her. However, Zayn only learned that day that Tessa’s parents are actually divorced. 1

"How long...have your parents been divorced?" Zayn tried to understand the situation. Only by understanding the situation could he know who should help her. After all, she was Tessa’s biological mother. Therefore, what exactly was the situation? Under normal circumstances, reconciliation was of course the main goal for mothers and daughters. Why would any daughter in this world want to take her mother to court?

"When I was ten," said Tessa miserably. Immediate after that, she smiled and said helplessly, "It's hard for you to imagine, right? I was actually brought up by my father alone. That woman had never taken care of me even before she and my father were divorced. It had always been my father who brought me up by himself. That woman's name is Hana Sharpe."

Tessa never addressed her mother anymore, but called her by her name instead. "Hana was very young when she married my dad. It was said that she lacked discipline back then. She had been mingling around with those hooligans in the society when she was about eighteen years old. One day, Hanna was chased after by several hooligans, and my father, who had finished his night shift, saved her and brought her home. Ever since then, Hanna had just been clinging o n to my dad. She was lazy but fond of enjoyment, and

had never done any work."
