Chapter 1599
Zayn took out the pendant from the box, walked around Nia, and put the pendant around her neck. "I'm not a person who doesn't count. I said that the book was for you, but another person suddenly called and said that he wanted it. He rarely wants it from me, so it must be very important. Since I took it back from you, I'll buy another gift for you."
Nia blinked and looked at the mirror behind her, where Zayn was helping her with his pendant.
"I asked Jin to book this for me the day before yesterday. There is a custom-made theme for a lover in the brand of the book. It cost several times the money, and it will be ready in two days," Zayn said softly. "This pendant is called the Red Bean Pendant. Red Bean was born in the Southland and is also called the Nia Bean. It is a gift for love. It matches your name and is most suitable for you."
"It's... it's so beautiful." Nia looked at the pendant on her white neck in the mirror and couldn't help touching it. "Thank you, Mr. Ali. I'm very happy."
Zayn put his hand on her shoulders. He didn't use much strength, but the temperature of his palm really made Nia feel it.
The four pairs of eyes in the mirror met. In silence, love grew.
"It's me who should thank you." He said, "Thank you for saving my life ten years ago, Nia."
He called her Nia.
Without a surname.
It was extremely intimate.
Nia was very touched and a little flustered. She knew how to answer, but when she looked back, her eyes were a little red. "I don't regret it."
"Don't regret anything?" Zayn smiled.
"Don't regret saving me?"
"Yes."
"Really?" Zayn reminded her. "If grandma doesn't tell me this time, you will never tell me what happened ten years ago in order to keep the agreement with the Ali Enterprises.
Then I will never know what you have done for me. Is it worth it?"
"Love is not worth it. It's just whether I'm willing or not. Nia said softly, "Anyway, I'm willing to save you. If I come back to that vear, I will still do that, even if you will never know me."
As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly fell into a hug.
She widened her eyes.
His heart was beating wildly, and his blood seemed to flow against the current.
He was hugging her... It was unbelievable.
Zayn frowned slightly, and there was a hint of sadness on his handsome face, but a smile appeared on his lips. He tried his best to hold the woman in his arms. "I'm not a good person. I have done many bad things and betrayed others. Maybe someone hates me, or someone scolds me. When I hurt Chloe, some people may think that I deserve to be lonely for the rest of my life. If I'm really lonely for the rest of my life, then I really have nothing but the identity of the ruler of the Ali Enterprises and my son."
His arms slowly retracted, as if he was holding the last trace of happiness in his arms to prevent her from escaping again. "It's my luck to meet you. Thank you for loving me so much, saving me unconditionally, loving me unconditionally, regardless of the fact that I'm a bastard."
Nia should have been moved to the point where she couldn't control herself. Hearing Zayn's words, she suddenly raised her head, and her eyes were full of stars and lake water. "No, Mr. Ali, you are not a bastard. You are a good father and a good man for me. You helped me a lot and saved me and my grandma from Harry... You don't mind my bad family background. In short, you are the best person I have ever seen."
"That's the only way you can say that."
Zayn smiled and pushed her hair away from his ear. She seemed to have come out of mud but was not stained. She was as plain as a lotus. She looked excellent but had no decoration. There were two ears in her ear, but she didn't even wear a nail.
Zayn's fingers gently stroked the small white earlobe. She was excited and trembling slightly.
"It's true. If someone said you were a bastard in front of me, I would definitely refute him." Nia had never seen Zayn so lonely, which made her heartbroken. She anxiously told him, "They don't understand you and don't understand your situation and feelings. But I know that you are not a bad person, Mr. Ali."
With his sharp eyebrows lowered, Zayn smiled. He picked up Nia's hand and said, "My grandma is right. You are indeed a girl worthy of my love. You are different from Chloe and Kate Bishop. You are the only one.
One of them is chasing me, and the other is being chased by me. You are the woman who is silently waiting for me."
When Zayn looked up, he saw Nia biting her lower lip and crying like a steamed bun. Her cheeks puffed up and her tears flowed wildly. "Mr. Ali, I'm so happy."
He finally knew that she had admitted her.
Looking at her crying regardless of her image, Zayn was a little stunned. He raised his hand to wipe his tears away. "I will like you very much and treat you well. From "Girlfriend?" Nia suspected that she had heard it. She sniffed and said, "No, I know you just met me. Mr. Ali, you don't have to force me. I know you are grateful to me, so you don't have to care about my feelings. I just want to stay with you..."
"This is what I owe you. I owe you ten years. I didn't force you. I'm willing." Zayn held his face, which had wiped her tears for her. The atmosphere drove him to slowly lean toward her.
Nia raised her head, closed her eyes, and waited for his kiss to fall.
Just as her heart was pounding, the door slammed open. "Nia! Are you done?"
Zayn quickly withdrew his hand, and Nia also quickly stood up.
"Why didn't you knock on the door when you came in?" Zayn taught his son. "How did you learn etiquette lessons?"
Maxwell was already dressed neatly and was about to leave.
When she came in, Zayn was also there. He immediately stood still. "It turns out that my father is also here... I, I came to see if Nia is ready. I'm very excited to think that I can go out with Nia and Dad."
Maxwell looked at Nia again. Nia was lowering her head and didn't dare to look around. Maxwell walked over and looked up at her face. "Nia, why is your face so red? Are you uncomfortable?"
"No..." Nia turned her face away. "No, it's a little hot."
"It's not hot! I turned on the heating!"
"Well, don't talk nonsense. Since you want to go out, let's go." Zayn took the lead in walking out of the door.
As soon as he went out, Zayn received another phone call. After asking Nia and Maxwell to get in the car, he went back to the study and came out with a book in his hand.
It was in the morning when the car left the Shallow Bay. The autumn sunshine was just right, and it was as warm as bathing in a greenhouse. When the window rolled down, Nia was looking at Shallow Bay in surprise. Maxwell was introducing to her. How many rich people lived here in Shallow Bay? And which famous rich man did they live in? From which road did these rich people come in from? And from which way did they go out? It was clear that the Shallow Bay was located in the Shallow Bay.
