True Fated Marriage novel Chapter 1810

Upon hearing that, Zayne's eyebrows twitched subtly. Instead of looking at Essie, he looked at Leah and asked Ernest, "Is this girl your girlfriend?"

Being shocked, Leah stood up quickly and said, "Hello, Mr. Yarbrough. I'm Leah."

Zayne lowered his head and smiled in a faint, polite and gallant manner.

"Hi, I'm Ernest's uncle, Zayne. Don't be a stranger. Just call me 'uncle', like Ernest does."

Flushing, Leah was too bashful to call him that.

"Ah, it turns out that the two of you are actually Zayne's nephew and niece-in-law." Essie looked at Ernest, and then at Leah. She said glumly, "I really like the two of you. I don't want to take advantage of you by becoming your elder. However, I love Zayne too much. I have no choice but to be your aunt-in-law."

Leah and Ernest exchanged a look before both of them swept their eyes over Zayne in unison.

Zayne was very collected, as if he hadn't heard it. He said to them, "Ernest, how long have you been

back?"

He completely ignored Essie.

She had been given a cold shoulder.

Zayne's usual way of handling such situation was to take no notice of her.

Despite being rebuffed in no uncertain terms, she still pestered him relentlessly. Thus, he just treated her coldly and let her do what she wanted.

Being ignored by Zayne completely, Essie pouted resentfully with a touch of distress in her eyes.

However, soon enough, she had pulled herself together again. She looked at them in excitement, without getting angry.

Anyhow, it was not the first time for her to be treated with indifference. It didn't feel that bad after she had gotten used to it.

It was just that she was in a rather gloomy mood.

Regardless, it didn't matter. As she was wooing him then, she had prepared mentally to be spurned.

Ernest grinned at Zayne and said, "I just came back. We bumped into my uncle-in-law yesterday, and we see you today."

"When are you going home?" asked Zayne.

Ernest was astounded. It seemed that Zayne had already known that he had not yet returned home.

He wondered if many relatives of his had also known it.

"In two days, I suppose," answered Ernest.

"All right." Zayne nodded and said, "Enjoy yourself. I still have some things to attend to. See you in a few days."

"Okay, uncle, I'll see you off." Ernest stood up and was ready to see Zayne off.

Zayne did not reject him, and the two of them went out together. Zayne paid the bill for them with cash at the counter near the door. He even tipped the waitress.

Seeing his action, Ernest was embarrassed. "In fact, I can pay the bill myself."

Zayne replied, "What's wrong? Are you feeling that you will lose face in front of your girlfriend when I'm footing the bill?"

"No, actually it makes me feel very proud." Ernest answered with a smile, "Isn't it a sign that I have many relatives?"

Zayne also smiled faintly, and his expression was always subtle. He simply left without even glancing back at Essie since he arrived.

Watching how he left without paying attention to her, Essie gave a moue and grumbled to Leah, "I've been hurt heartlessly and tortured by that man, but I still love him. Leah, what should I do? Does love always exist in this way? The more unattainable he is, the more precious and desirable he will be."

Leah felt that it was too scary. Zayne didn't even look at Essie once. Her heart went out to Essie.

In spite of being turned out ruthlessly by him, she still had her mind set on him. It was definitely true love.

How could he disregard that lovely girl so callously?
