Still Wanna Escape After Stealing My Heart? novel Chapter 1660

Hector sighed again. "Who knows where she has ended up? She was here and there. She did not have a fixed place nor did any honest work! She was a woman who was only active at night, it is such a humiliation to Tessa to have a mother like that!"

When Zayn heard what Hector said, he thought about the woman he met outside Ford Group. The woman had a pale face, but she did not have the aura of a flirtatious and debauched woman who works at night. However, Zayn was not sure if that woman was Tessa’s mother.

He probed Hector. "How did you meet Tessa’s mother i n the first place?"

Hector was stunned. "W-What’s your point in asking this?" He clearly looked nervous and a little guarded.

Zayn smiled a little. He came clean to Hector. "To be honest with you, Tessa has been harassed recently. I think it's her mother calling..."

"This woman deserves to die! How terrible! I had even thought of killing her!" Hector said suddenly.

Zayn was shocked. "What? You want to kill again?"

Hector immediately chuckled awkwardly. "No, no, Director Zayn. I didn't mean anything by that. I only think that this woman is despicable! She has never brought up her daughter. She has never taken care of

her daughter when she was young, now that she's all grown up, she harassed her. What would the child think of that?"

He paused for a while before asking Zayn, "Can't we take her to court over this matter? I heard that as long as you have blood relations, even if she did not bring u p and care for Tessa, Tessa still has to care for her. Is that it?"

Zayn nodded. "It's something like that."

Hector suddenly pounded the railings next to him. " How horrible!"

Zayn said in a persuading tone, "I came here today to d o two things. One is to visit Tessa's father, the other is t o help Tessa solve her problem with her mother because if her mother continues to harass her, it will affect her job and life badly. We must fix this problem. Can you tell me how you and Tessa's mother got married and then divorced?”

Although Tessa has already told him about this, Tessa was not the main person involved, after all. Moreover, her mother left when she was still very young. Many o f her memories were fuzzy.

When Hector heard Zayn asking this question, he sighed and said aggrievedly, "Back then, I took a million dollars from your father. To be honest, it was not enough to pay off my debts. I still had to take care of my old mother. What could I do? I took odd jobs all around. I had a few jobs in a day. It was a very hard time. Also, a few of our surrounding neighbors knew that I used to gamble, so they spread the rumors all around. No one would introduce a girl to me to be my girlfriend. This was on hold as I got older. Even if I tried very hard, no one wanted me. Back then, I regretted it terribly. I regretted gambling, but what use was there regretting? I also had low self-esteem then. I thought that I won't find a wife anymore for the rest of my life."

He continued. "Just when I was in despair, I found a girl by the roadside. She was working at the nightclub at such a young age. That day, when I found her, she had been beaten up badly, covered in bruises. I brought her back home. It took a long time for her to recuperate. Later, I found out that she also owed others money. It was quite a huge sum, about a few hundred thousand. At that time, I was happy. I found this girl. Doesn’t that mean she could be my wife? I did not mind helping her pay back her debt. I also did not mind that she used to be a bargirl, as long as she was willing to spend her life with me. I did not despise her because my life was also tainted. The two of us could just get by like this. She agreed to it too."
