Hector stammered. "D-Did...Tessa tell you about this?"
Zayn smiled lightly. "No. Didn't you say that when you took in Tessa's mother, she was only eighteen, so you can’t officially register to get married?"
"Yes, yes, back then, it was because of this matter that was why I did not get married to that woman, but we were in fact husband and wife."
Zayn nodded. "I know." He paused for a while. "If that’s the case, since she is Tessa's mother after all, see if you could ask her out if you happened to meet her? Let me have a chat with her."
"Zayn, you treat me too well," Tessa said.
"You've already said it yourself. I'm the future son-in-law of this family. Of course, I have to bear the responsibility of a future son-in-law," Zayn replied.
The entire family laughed, they were delighted. Tessa was even more elated. She even coquettishly leaned her head on Zayn's shoulder in front of her father and grandmother. However, there was something on Zayn's mind. His instincts were not wrong. Back then, Hector indeed treated his wife badly. Furthermore, the woman he met outside the Ford Group was not as how Hector described her to be, engaging in dishonest work and selling her body for a living. As for what was the twist in this, before Zayn could meet Tessa's
mother, naturally, he would not say anything.
Zayn was still handling this matter with the thought o f helping his girlfriend settle her problems. At that moment, Zayn did not expect that the things that happened next would be way beyond his expectations or control.
After Zayn left Tessa’s home, Tessa’s father and grandmother were extremely pleased with this future son-in-law of theirs. Hector was feeling dejected, so much so he could not sleep the entire night. On the other hand, Tessa was feeling extremely moved and warm. She thought to herself that if she were to meet that woman again in the future. Yes, Tessa only addressed her mother as that woman when she was thinking to herself. Tessa also thought that if she were to meet that woman again in the future, she would get her boyfriend to help teach her a lesson! Then, let her die in the end! That way, Tessa would not need to see her for the rest of her life.
However, Tessa's wishes only came true for three days before reality ruined it. Ever since Zayn made a trip to her house, Tessa and Zayn got even closer. She even actively expressed to Zayn that she could be his woman. However, Zayn was too reserved and decent. H e said that if he did not propose to her and if there was no ring on her finger, he was determined not to touch her at all.
