True Fated Marriage novel Chapter 1849

However, Leah's bullheadedness made everyone worry about her.

Yet, Leah was as fearless as an Amazon warrior, holding her head high as she looked at Zayne.

Zayne smiled coldly, "Are you trying to lecture me?"

"No way, I wouldn't dare do that. I'm just giving you a gentle reminder to appreciate the people before you so you won't regret it when they're gone. This is the Jones family home, and Aunt Smith is our host. You and I are both guests, and I have to seek Aunt Smith's permission before I invite anyone over. Hence, I don't think you have the right to scold me like this."

Zayne sneered, "Who cares what your intentions are? I don't believe that you're not doing this on purpose."

"Well, it was on purpose," Leah admitted coolly, "Essie likes you, and I admire her boldness. So, I'm willing to help her. Plus, I'm not afraid of you, Mr. Yarbrough. You can do whatever you like to me. Since I've already offended you, what's a few more insults tossed into the mix?"

Leah was rather relaxed about the whole affair.

Both Grace and Alice were a little embarrassed.

It seemed that Leah was really willing to risk everything to help Zayne get married.

Not bad.

"Mr. Yarbrough, you're the most dramatic man I've ever met. If you don't like Essie, just marry another woman and let her move on. However, you insist on making your presence known in her life."

Zayne frowned and snorted mockingly.

However, Leah ignored his sour attitude. She smiled and continued, "Aren't you just playing hard to get?"

Zayne's brow furrowed. He had never tried to play hard to get.

"Well, I think Leah is right. Zayne, we are all the Jones family's guests. Hence, we should be more polite with our words instead of threatening people willy- nilly," Alice chuckled at Zayne and added oil to the fire, "From the looks of it, you really are playing hard to get."

It seemed like Essie did have something going on with Zayne.

Zayne's staunch grip on bachelorhood was about to end. How exciting!

Alice felt like the trip to the Jones family home was quite worth it. It was very rare to see Zayne so out of control.

Likewise, Grace couldn't help but admire Leah's boldness.

It seemed that Zayne's love life had been a cause for concern for everyone, and even Leah was worried about him. Grace was really impressed by Leah.

Leah hadn't even married into the Jones family yet, but she considered their affairs her own. Hence, it was clear that Leah had a heart of gold.

Perhaps this was why Ernest loved Leah so much.

Zayne swept his gaze over everyone present before leveling a glare at Leah. He did that for a while before he immediately stood up and left.

Everyone was stunned. They did not expect Zayne to leave.

Leah was caught off guard. If Zayne left, Essie's trip would be in vain.

She suddenly regretted bringing up this matter so early. She should've waited until Essie had arrived at the Jones family home.

Meanwhile, Grace stood up and called out to Zayne, "Zayne, where are you going?"

She'd stood up too quickly, and as a result, swayed unsteadily on her feet. Everyone was immediately alarmed.
