Chapter 787
Sylvie hugged her knees and cried silently. That was when she recalled seeing Zayne's reddened and swollen
fingers. Right then, her heart ached for him.
After a while, she stood up and looked through the peephole, only to find Zayne still standing outside.
Before she could react, her hand had already reached out to open the door.
When Zayne turned toward her, she asked, “Didn't I ask you to leave? What are you still doing here?”
“I'm worried about you. Since it's already five in the morning, I thought I should just leave when your assistant
arrives.” Zayne then noticed her puffy and reddened eyes. Instantly, he looked concerned as he asked, “Why are
you crying?”
Sylvie simply wiped the tears off of her face and said, “Don't mind me. Come on in.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe would always get injured when she filmed, so she used to keep cold medications and medicines for bruises in
her condominium and minivan.
After finding the swelling and pain-relieving spray from the first aid kit, Sylvie went to the living room, spraying the
medication on Zayne's reddened and swollen fingers.
“I'm sorry,” Sylvie uttered softly.
“It's all right. I was careless.” Zayne pursed his lips. His heart was fluttering when he felt Sylvie's delicate touch.
Zayne kept his head lowered and stared at Sylvie the whole time. When she was about to get up, he suddenly
grabbed her and sat her down on his lap. In order to stop her from getting away, he wrapped his arm around her
waist tightly.
“I like you.” Zayne looked into her eyes and added, “This is not sympathy. I really like you, and I want to be with
you.”
Having endured all those years in the entertainment industry, Sylvie knew long ago that Zayne was into her. Now
that she had directly received his confession, her mind was a mess.
Taking a deep breath, she suppressed her anxiousness and said, “I'm not the one for you—”
“How would you know that if you've never given it a go?”
“I don't have to. In terms of age and all the other factors, we're not suitable for each other.” Sylvie pushed his hand
away. “You should leave.”
Even so, Zayne pulled her back into his embrace. This time around, he hugged her from behind and placed his
head on her shoulder. “So what? Didn't I take care of you when you got injured during filming and when you were
moody? I'm much more mature than men in their thirties. I can take care of you.”
“Zayne, let go of me.” The more he confessed his feelings to her, the more she was reminded of how filthy she
was. “You should be loving women like Faith instead. They're the ones who are worthy of your love.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmZayne kept mum and continued hugging her. No matter how much Sylvie struggled, he just wouldn't let go.
Finally getting tired, the woman gave up struggling.
While feeling Zayne's breaths on her neck, her eyes turned watery again. In a cold tone, she uttered, “Do you think
I was really into you? I was just using you. I wanted to use you as a backer. I made Stella up, and I don't even know
your aunt. However, the story I've told you is true, and I'm that girl in the story. I was the one who killed Armand's
cousin. In fact, I've also killed those who posed a threat to me.”
She paused for a while before continuing, “The second time General Zeigler suspected me and asked for a blood
test again, I also thought about killing him. I'm a heartless person who's willing to do anything for fame and
fortune.”
Zayne froze, and he slowly raised his head.
Crying uncontrollably, Sylvie added, “The videos you saw were all real. I've slept with all of them. In the hotel, on
the cruise ship, and everywhere else. I'm full of lies, and I'm even filthier than the women in the red-light district.”
Gritting her teeth, Sylvie stood up and took a few steps forward. With her back facing Zayne the whole time, she
said, “I'm not worthy of your love and sympathy, so leave.”
