Chapter 516 Faye’s Confession
Although Zayn’s eyes were tightly shut, he could still feel Faye standing by his bedside. In fact, she had even bent at the waist to lean in closer towards him, causing her long silky hair to cascade down her back. The ends of her hair just so happened to brush against Zayn’s face gently, making him quite unsettled. This was even worse when her hair grazed his nose.
However, what was most unsettled was his pained heart!
Originally, Zayn was already feeling a little languid and was prepared to sleep. However, Faye’s arrival completely made his drowsiness disappear, and he was now wide awake.
‘It’s late in the middle of the night, and there are only a man and a woman in the same room, but the most important thing is that regardless of her figure or her looks, Faye’s a goddess in her own class!’
Although Zayn and Faye had been married for four years and should have been used to their married life by now, thanks to their unique relationship, they still remained pure until that moment and neither of them had once crossed that border. Therefore, the moment they started to become intimate with each other, the greater the both of them were affected!
The best example would be how nervous Zayn was feeling at that moment. His body slowly warmed up as its temperature continued to increase. In fact, he did not know what he should do at that moment. ‘Should I continue to pretend that I’m asleep, or should I wake up?’
Just as he was hesitating about what he should do, Faye spoke again. This time, she tried to extend her hand, retracting it the moment she very gently touched his face with a very timid expression on her face. Then, she asked again in a very soft voice, “Are you really sleeping, Zayn?”
After thinking for a moment, Zayn still decided to continue to pretend to sleep. ‘She might just walk away if she realizes that I’m fast asleep.’
After that, Faye gently poked him again. When she realized that Zayn still did not react, her originally timidness slowly shifted in the opposite direction. She actually used her hand to cover his face very carefully and gently caressed it.
At that moment, Zayn was even more high-strung as his muscles instantly tensed up!
In fact, even his breathing became disoriented. Thankfully, Faye had placed all her attention on Zayn’s face at that moment, hence she did not notice his erratic breathing for a moment.
Next, the courage that Faye built up started becoming greater and greater as she became more presumptuous while caressing Zayn’s face. At the same time, she took a close look at Zayn’s plain face with the dim light shining from the corridor through the door that was left ajar.
‘I’ve clearly seen this face for four years already, plus I used to hate it so much in the past. But, now, I can’t help but find this face more and more pleasant to look at. There’s a certain charm in it that I just can’t describe. The more I look at it, the deeper I fall in love with it.’
“Zayn, I know that I shouldn’t come here and see you so late at night since we’re already divorced. I know that it isn’t appropriate for me to do so, but I just can’t hold it in anymore…” Faye muttered to herself.
“Thank goodness you were there tonight. Otherwise, I would’ve definitely been picked on again.
“I can’t remember how many times you’ve already saved me. In the past, I always thought that it was you who would always cause me trouble. However, now, I realized that it was me who’s been bringing you trouble all along. I used to think that I was the unluckiest person in this world and lamented if I had done something wrong in the past to end up married to you. I realize now that I was wrong. Marrying you has been the happiest thing to have happened in my life. I can’t help but feel that I must’ve spent all my lucky stars to be able to meet you and get married to you!
“I’ve never believed in things such as fate before, but I’m starting to believe it now. It’s possible that our encountering each other was meant to be, and you’re the best present God has ever given me.
“I’m sorry for mistreating you in the past, Zayn. I’ve never once sincerely admitted that you were my husband and always thought that you’re a deadbeat who’s way out of your league. However, I now realize that it was actually I who was way out of my league! On the other hand, you clearly had other better choices, yet you chose to keep on tolerating me.
“I’m starting to believe something someone told me once—how I must have been the world’s savior in my past life—that’s why I’m now able to enjoy being protected and loved by you.”
In the beginning, Faye had muttered to herself very softly. Then, as she continued, she became more and more immersed in her monologue and even directly held onto Zayn’s hand. In fact, she was so immersed that she failed to notice that his eyelids had trembled a few times.
