Their Villain, The Mogul's Beloved

Chapter 359

After they got home, Zinnia was so tired from everything that happened that afternoon she didn’t even want to move. Yannis made her comfortable on the sofa and made her hot chocolate to help her feel better.

“Zinnia, wait here for me. I’ll make us some dinner,” Yannis said softly. He realized that after everything they’d been through, his plan to make her gain weight hadn’t worked out.

“I want meat!” Zinnia hugged a plush toy tight, feeling sad as she remembered what she had vaguely heard earlier. “How can you take that away from me?”

“Don’t worry, there’s meat,” Yannis said with a laugh. Feeling better, Zinnia relaxed back on the sofa with a sigh, while Yannis went into the kitchen.

Zinnia took out her phone to check the group chat, where others were talking about plans. In three days, there would be an event, and they wanted to go together. Zinnia quickly sent a hand–raising emoji. She definitely wanted to join the fun.

Maisie: [Zinnia! We asked you to play games this afternoon but got no reply. Did something happen?]

Maisie wanted Zinnia to join her for games that afternoon but couldn’t reach her for hours. Worried, she messaged Yannis, who told her Zinnia was safe with him, which made her feel better.

Zinnia: [Just got too sleepy this afternoon and fell asleep.]

Then, a private message from Lydia popped up: [Did something happen this afternoon?] Her worry was clear in her words. Lydia saw that Zinnia hadn’t replied for hours that afternoon, so she checked and saw Zinnia was at Perkins Group.

Their security was very tight. She couldn’t get in quickly. Not wanting to waste time, she went straight to Maisie, who told her Zinnia was with Yannis.

Lydia finally relaxed, knowing Zinnia was safe. To make sure she wouldn’t miss anything, she set up an automatic alert to notify her instantly whenever Zinnia sent a message.

Zinnia: [Just felt a little sick this afternoon and took a nap, so I missed your messages. Are you done with work now?]

Zinnia casually explained, not going into details about what had happened that afternoon. She remembered Lydia mentioning she had a part–time job now.

[Almost done. What do you want to eat tomorrow? I’ll make it for you.] Touched by Zinnia’s
