Chapter 6

The photo frame was shattered into pieces and even the photo inside was torn apart, with the crack concentrated on his face. His once smiling, and blissful expression now looked twisted and terrifying. Zayn's emotions surged momentarily but were quickly suppressed.

"Who did that?"

The housekeeper smiled wryly and said, "Mr. Forbes, apart from you and your wife, who else would dare to touch these things?"

Josephine?

Zayn gripped the broken photo frame firmly, oblivious to the blood oozing from his fingertips picked by shards of glasses.

"It was just a few days of not spending time with her, and she's throwing such a tantrum? Find a way to save this tree and call the photographer to have them locate the negatives of the photographs so they can be reprinted and hung back up." After speaking, he took a deep breath to quell his anger.

"Where's Mrs. Forbes?"

Luke lowered his head. "She just went out."

Looking at the diamond ring in his hand, Zayn paused before he took out his phone and made a phone call.

"Shawn, contact Pacific Tower immediately, I want to book the entire venue for tonight."

Shawn replied, "Mr. Forbes, the company's budget has been severely overdrawn this month..."

"Don't worry about the cost, use my personal account."

"Noted."

After hanging up, Zayn called Josephine.

At that moment, she was already in the cab heading to the airport.

When she saw Zayn's call, she hesitated to pick up the phone. After a long pause, she finally answered.

"Josephine, I need an explanation."

Needed her explanation?

She gripped her phone tightly, letting out a wry chuckle she couldn't voice. "What do you need me to explain?"

"Josephine." Zayn sighed, his tone heavy with weariness.

"I know, I have been busy with work lately and neglected you, I apologize for that. But no matter how angry you are, you shouldn't take it out on our acacia tree. That tree is our testament to love. For three years, we have watered and cared for it together, watching it grow strong. How could you...And the wedding photo, don't you think that you have gone too far?"

Her eyes welled up with tears as she replied faintly, "If all you want to say is that, then there's nothing for me to explain."

"You..."

Zayn frowned.
