Chapter 69: Valerio Bacini
It’s been two days in a row now and Evelyn has barely seen Zayne.
He would leave work very early in the morning before she could even catch up. Of course, there was Enzo to drive her, but she’d usually gone with Zayne and stepped down at her company.
Now...he didn’t even bother seeing her face before he left. And when he came back, he never held conversations like he always did with her. He was quiet, and even when they did end up bumping into each other, he wouldn’t even look at her twice before walking past her.
He’d made her feel like she didn’t exist these days, which of course wasn’t how it used to be. Heck, Zayne was always in her space. Everywhere you saw her, you saw him.
Now it felt like...she lived in this house alone.
Even now, it was still as early as nine a.m., but Zayne Mancini had already left for work without seeing her face or even saying a word to her.
Oh, oh, but that wasn’t even the worst part. Since the entire thing, he completely abandoned the bedroom for her. He never bothered coming and apparently now uses the guest room.
And of course, she could tell him to come right back, but wouldn’t that just be embarrassing herself? Getting too close to that man had somehow begun to make her lose control of herself.
Two months, she said. There were barely three weeks left. If she kept faltering, she’d end up becoming his wife.
But then again...what was even so bad about being his wife? She couldn’t find any. Was it just her pride? After all, she’d rubbed it so bad in his face how she was going to win this. And now it looked like he might actually win without even trying so hard.
Evelyn slurped her coffee roughly.
