Their Villain, The Mogul's Beloved

Chapter 591

Edward soon left.

Seeing that Yannis couldn’t take his eyes off Zinnia, Toby tactfully said, “Mr. Perkins, I should get back to the office. There’s some business I need to handle.”

Yannis replied, “Okay.”

Finally, only Yannis and Zinnia remained.

Now that she was alone with Yannis, Zinnia suddenly regretted staying behind. Feeling nervous, she fidgeted with her bag. Suddenly, she felt warmth on the back of her hand. Looking down, she saw that Yannis was holding her hand. Her heart skipped a beat.

Yannis said gently, “Let me carry the bag for you, Zinnia.” As he spoke, his fingers slid down and hooked onto her crocodile leather clutch.

Zinnia’s ears burned with embarrassment. She thought, ‘So I misunderstood after all. I thought he was going to hold my hand.‘ Yet, strangely enough, in that moment, she hadn’t even wanted to pull away.

“Thanks,” Zinnia said.

Yannis replied, “Zinnia, you’re being so distant with me.” He lowered his gaze, a shadow passing through his

eyes.

Although he knew she’d lost her memory and no longer remembered him, actually feeling her estrangement still made his heart ache.

Zinnia gazed at his dejected expression, her lips slightly parted as if to speak, yet no words came out. She had no memory of their past together and no idea what their relationship had been like; all she could do was maintain basic courtesy.

She never expected that her courtesy could hurt Yannis so much.

Yannis smiled and said, “It’s alright. Let’s go. I’ll show you around Jinston, Zinnia.”

Just having Zinnia here, alive and well, was a blessing Yannis never dared expect. All he truly wished for was that she would live, even if she no longer remembered him.

“Alright,” Zinnia replied. She lowered her gaze, trying to hide the remorse in her eyes.

Yannis led Zinnia to his car. He opened the car door, glanced back at her, and called softly, “Zinnia.”

Zinnia slid into the passenger seat.

Only then did Yannis walk around to the driver’s side and get in.

Zinnia surveyed the car’s interior.
