Chapter 56
“Finally, I get to see you. I really need to thank Mrs. Shaw Without her, who knows how much longer I’d have to wait to see my wife.”
Zam wore a light smile as he looked at her from head to toe.
“When did you buy this dress? I don’t think I’ve ever seen you wear it before.”
Even though they were going to divorce, Josephine couldn’t help but feel a sense of amazement. Incertain ways, Zayn truly went above and beyond.
He could remember every dress she had ever wom, every pair of shoes, and every piece of jewelry she had ever put on
How many men in the world could do that?
In the past, she thought his behavior was a sign of deep affection. Now, she could only commend him for his stellar acting skills.
“Zayn, you know I only agreed to come with you because of Mrs. Shaw. So, spare me the rehearsed lines. Let’s go.”
Lifting the hem of her dress, she headed for the door. Zayn chuckled softly and followed, saying, “You think everything I say to you is pre–written? Josephine, when did you start distrusting me this much?”
She couldn’t believe that he had the audacity to ask that.
Josephine couldn’t hold back any longer. She stopped in her tracks, her gaze locking onto his proud, deep eyes. “Zayn, I don’t

With that, he grabbed Josephine’s hand and led her toward the Bentley parked at the hotel entrance.
Josephine took a deep breath, trying to pull her hand free, but his grip only tightened.
Once inside the car, Zayn crossed his legs and leaned casually against the seat. He glanced at the box in her lap and asked in a serious tone, “Is that the gift you prepared? What’s inside?”
To avoid any mishaps at the event, Josephine could only say, “It’s a pair of heels, and it’s a limited edition design by Thompson”
“Gosh, him again…
Zayn let out a disdainful chuckle
“He’s a genius designer, even the biggest names in the industry have to book him months in advance, yet he’s always at your beck and call. Don’t you think he’s being a little too attentive to you?”
That was because Thompson didn’t just see her as Zayn’s wi
wife. He also knew of her other identity, which was Director Jo
Besides, many of Thompson’s designs were actually inspired by her ideas.
