Remarry My Ex-wife: Love Heals A Broken Heart

Chapter 90: Yolanda's Persuasion 

Patricia and Giselle remained in the ward and conversed about Sullivan's birthday.

Zac, on the other hand, was at the end of the corridor.

Lighting a cigarette, he discontentedly dialed Lyndsy's number.

"What's up?" Zac's voice was laced with impatience.

Lyndsy's constant pestering troubled him.

Stunned to hear the impatience seeping through Zac's voice, Lyndsy's words were stuck in her throat.

She couldn't even utter the word "Zac".

Zac's irritability increased when he heard no response from Lyndsy. Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

With anger seething through his chest, he took a drag on his cigarette and asked, "Lyndsy, what's the matter?"

"Zac, are you very busy today? Did you remember that today is my father's birthday? You promised me..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Zac interrupted her.

"I remember.I'll come over if I'm free.Didn't I tell you this yesterday?" said Zac coldly.

He didn't want to be on the phone talking to Lyndsy.Instead, he wanted to go to Patricia and ask her what her earlier expression meant.Otherwise, he would remain in a miserable mood.

Hearing the reluctance in Zac's voice made Lyndsy break down in tears.

Pursing her lips, she said, "Zac, didn't you promise me? You said you would attend my father's birthday party today."

Hearing Lyndsy weeping on the other end of the line, Zac sighed and exclaimed, "No, I said I would attend if I had some free time."

Lyndsy's crying made Zac feel more annoyed.

Had it been Patricia weeping, he would have handled the situation differently.

However, towards every other woman, Zac couldn't be so softhearted.

Rather, he felt great annoyance when dealing with anyone else.

Lyndsy's crying intensified without her realizing it.

Before she could say anything else, her phone was taken away.

That's when Zac heard an eloquent voice speaking to him.

"Zac, today is your Uncle Sullivan's birthday.You should come over, it'll be fun.I know you're a busy man, but you need to relax from time to time,"

Yolanda said persuasively on the other end of the line.

Her reasoning was cogent, and her words were dripping with honey making them pleasant to the ear.

Unfortunately for Yolanda, Zac held a grudge against her.

He would never forget how she had insulted Patricia and turned a blind eye whenever her daughter bullied Patricia.

‘How can I not understand what she means by that? She simply wants me to attend Sullivan's birthday party.

Had Patricia been the one inviting me, I'd have seriously considered accepting the invitation.

However, it is Lyndsy asking me instead.

Furthermore, I dislike the Sampson family, especially after witnessing how they had kicked Patricia out of the house.

However, hearing Yolanda's next words, he couldn't help wondering whether he should go to the Sampson family's home after all.

When she didn't get a response from Zac, Yolanda continued, "Zac, you've been in a relationship with Lyndsy for quite a while now.I think it's time you officially meet her parents.Otherwise, Lyndsy will start feeling insecure about the relationship."

Yolanda's words were elegant yet indirect, but her meaning was crystal clear. Hearing this, Zac couldn't help scoffing.

‘What relationship do Lyndsy and myself have? We have nothing to do with each other!’ However, Yolanda gave him the impression that he and Lyndsy were one step away from tying the knot.

‘I wasn't even aware that our relationship has reached the point of discussing marriage.This was outrageous!’ Zac couldn't help sneering.

Narrowing his eyes, Zac stared straight ahead.From his body, a murderous aura was emanating.

Apparently, he had no choice but to visit the Sampson family at this time.

If he didn't take this opportunity to clear the air, the Sampson family might just send Lyndsy straight to his bed.

Still not getting a response from Zac, Yolanda became a little confused and anxiously called out, "Zac, are you still there? You..."

"Okay, I'll come over after I've finished my work."

As soon as he finished speaking, he hung up the phone, leaving no chance for Yolanda to retort.Turning, he strode towards Patricia's ward.

As he entered the ward, he found Patricia fast asleep on the bed.Quieting his footsteps, he approached her bed.Raising his hand, he gently touched her face.

Zac breathed a sigh of relief when he realized Patricia's temperature had returned to normal.

"Her fever has finally broken." A faint smile touched the corners of his mouth.

Zac looked lovingly at Patricia.

Her image was the only one in his eyes as if there was no room for anyone else.

Glancing at his watch, he noticed it was time for breakfast.

Quietly leaving the ward, he went to purchase her breakfast.

At the same time, in Lyndsy’s room on the second floor of the Sampson family's house, Lyndsy looked anxiously at Yolanda.

She patiently waited to hear her mother relay what she had spoken about to Zac over the phone.

Grasping Yolanda's wrist nervously, Lyndsy asked anxiously, "Mom, how did it go?"

Moments ago, Lyndsy had felt heartbroken when she heard the impatience in Zac's voice.

Thinking about his indifference towards her made her eyes turn red, and she couldn't help but want to cry. She thought, ‘Is he not coming? And if he isn't, how am I going to explain this to wealthy ladies attending tonight?’ Initially, when she thought Zac was coming, she had boasted to the other young ladies of wealthy families.

‘So now, if he doesn't show up, wouldn't it be like a slap to my face?’ Seeing Lyndsy's sorrowful expression, Yolanda regained her senses.

Putting down the phone, she said softly, "My precious daughter, what are you crying for? Zac said he would come after he's finished his work for the day."

Pursing her lips, Yolanda gently wiped away Lyndsy's tears.

‘It seems my daughter has forgotten what I've taught her about being strong and confident when it came to matters regarding love.’ Lyndsy was skeptical when she heard this.

Eyes wide open in disbelief, she asked incredulously, "Mom, are you serious?"

Earlier Zac’s tone had given her the impression that he didn't want to attend the birthday party.

Seeing this, Yolanda touched the tip of Lyndsy's nose and said softly, "Dear girl, when have I ever lied to you?"

"That's great news!"

Seeing the serious look in her mother's eyes, Lyndsy couldn't help cheering and dancing happily in her room.

She muttered, "Since Zack is coming, I won't lose face.Now, I can show off in front of all those rich young ladies as I had planned!"

Realizing this brought a smug smile to Lyndsy's face.

At this time, Yolanda was more focused on figuring out what Zac's intentions were for attending the party that she paid no heed to Lyndsy's jubilant mood.

Although Zac had agreed to come over, Yolanda could sense his impatience through the tone he had used.

It appeared that he had been unwilling to attend at first.

And then he abruptly hung up the phone after speaking, giving her no chance to say anything further on the topic.

Even if Zac was busy, Yolanda thought this behavior was outright rude.His demeanor worried Yolanda.She was fearful that something terrible would happen at a crucial moment.

‘lf Zac is unwilling to marry Lyndsy, then doesn't this mean that all our efforts have been in vain?’ Yolanda felt a headache coming on.

She hoped that today's birthday party was successful and could be pulled off without a hitch.

Seeing Yolanda out of sorts, Lyndsy blinked suspiciously and asked, "Mom, what's wrong? Is it about Zac?"

Lyndsy couldn't help feeling jittery.Her mind was full of thoughts of Zac.

"No, no, no.Don't you worry! My dear daughter, go and prepare for the party."

Yolanda smiled gently at her daughter.

She didn't want Lyndsy to find out about her worries, nor did she want her overthinking this situation.

Besides, no matter what came her way tonight, she would handle it appropriately.
