Still Wanna Escape After Stealing My Heart? novel Chapter 1655

Zayn was furious. He took out his phone and called Tessa. The call was picked up very quickly on the other end of the line, and Tessa’s voice was indeed all choked up. "Zayn?"

"Tessa, did your mother harass you again?" Zayn asked straightforwardly.

Tessa immediately insisted. "No, Zayn, she didn't."

"That's not right. You're crying! Tell me the truth, did she harass you again?" Zayn said.

Tessa cried. "No, Zayn. I was the one who called her. I just wanted her to stay further away from me. I didn't want her to harass her, so I took the initiative to call her. It's alright now. Zayn, go back. Don’t delay your work at the company. I want to be alone for a while. I... I will want to cry once I see you, I will not be able to hold myself back. So, go home. I don't want to cry anymore. I want to do my job properly."

Zayn thought about it, Tessa was right. She originally could hold it back and stay strong when she was alone, but she certainly would want to cry when she saw him. It was time to work at that moment, and they could not delay their work.

He sighed. "Stay a little stronger. I will first go back, and I will come and pick you up after work. I will go to your house together with you."

Tessa said assertively. “Mm-hmm, okay then, Zayn."

After he hung up the call, Zayn then walked out of the building. He subconsciously looked towards the direction just now. Nobody was there anymore. Was that woman Tessa's mother? If yes, then Zayn's first impression of that woman was that she did not seem like a bad person. On the contrary, she seemed worried. That woman had no trace of a debauched lifestyle on her face and was not like a woman who cheated others for food and drinks. Could she not be Tessa's mother? However, if she was not, then who could say Zayn was an old man dating young girls? Zayn simply could not wrap his head around it.

After he had driven for a distance, he had made sense of it. After all, a good person would not have anything written on their face, so a bad person would also not have words on their face. That woman did not seem like a bad person at a glance, but perhaps that was her disguise. She should be Tessa's mother. 1

Zayn planned to ask Tessa seriously when he picked her up to send her home that evening. Tessa was his officially acknowledged girlfriend, so Zayn would certainly help Tessa settle her matters properly.

That afternoon, Zayn had come to pick up Tessa early. He even bought a trunk full of gifts for Tessa’s dad. After all, that was Zayn’s first time meeting his future father-in-law. It was a must for the son-in-law to bring luxury gifts when visiting.
