Chapter 1697

“Alright, alright. Thank you, Master Zayn.” Hana was extremely grateful, but she did not go

overboard with her mannerism. Since the very beginning, Hana had never appeared to be

fawning over Zayn or anything like such. When Zayn was leaving Hana’s house in his car, he

thought to himself that no matter how he looked at it, Tessa’s mother seemed to be a woman

who behaved with propriety and had self-restraint. She was not at all like the unbearable woman

that Tessa’s father had described her to be. Could it be that Hector and Tessa were both lying?

Especially Hector, who had once thought of committing a crime and had a gambling problem in

the past. Zayn was slightly doubtful of Hector’s character.

When Zayn left Hana’s house, he wanted to call Tessa to ask her about the matter, but after he

thought about it, this matter was not something that could be easily clarified with just a few

words. He thought that it would be better to slowly talk about it in the future after resolving the

old lady’s matter.

After Zayn sent Aino back to her house, he went home. After he finished washing up that night,

he received a call from Tessa. He called out gently into the phone. “Tessa, haven’t gone to bed

yet?”

“Mm-hmm! You had promised to treat me to dinner today, but it fell through in the end, so I can’t

fall asleep,” Tessa chirped.

“Then I will make it up to you next time. I will do a lot more to make it up to you, alright?” Zayn

said gently.

On the other end, Tessa acted like a pampered child. “ Mm-hmm. I am also a little jealous. Zayn,

how great would it be when you love me as much as you love Aino?

Zayn laughed. “I love you and Aino all the same.”

After giving it some thought, he said truthfully, “ Perhaps I will love you more than Aino someday

in the future. After all, Aino is growing up. After she is all grown up, she will have her own life,

have her own boyfriend, and then get married. She could meet someone who cares and loves

her. Gradually, she will no longer need her parents and uncle to meticulously care for her

anymore. However, we’re different. We have to go through thick and thin together for life. Our

affection will grow deeper with time.”

Tessa was touched when she heard that. “Is that true, Zayn?”

Zayn smiled, “of course! So, do as I say, alright?”

Tessa replied in a sweet tone, “Don’t worry, Zayn. I will do everything as you say. I’ll be at your

disposal for life.”

“Good. You have to keep your words,” Zayn said with an underlying meaning in his words.

“Mm-hmm! I will keep my word.”

“Then I order you to go to bed now. You have to turn in early, then only you can get up early

tomorrow,” said Zayn.

“Alright. Bye-bye, Zayn. Love you!” Tessa was still being lovey-dovey when she was going to

hang up the call soon. However, Zayn loved her being lovey- dovey. Zayn, who had been lonely

for a very long time, could then have sweet dreams then.

The following day, Zayn first went to handle his business affairs at the company. After more than

an hour, he departed his company and went straight to the house that Hana and her aunt were

staying at. 1

When he arrived at the house, he knocked on the door and it opened, when Zayn saw the

people in the house, he was completely stunned. “You...”
