Love Mission: Ex-wife Strikes Back

"Thank you." Peter took the card key and carried Zoe upstairs.

Once they got inside the room, he put her on the bed. She couldn't even sit properly so he didn't have to worry that she would run away.

He pinched her cheek and said sweetly, "Wait for a bit, beauty. I'll be back after a shower."

"Peter, you'll regret this!" Zoe warned. Even though her body was weak, her will was the opposite. "I won't let you go!"

The lack of strength in her threat made it sound like a coquetry in his ears.

A malicious smile appeared across his lips. "Same here. If I let you go, I'll regret it."

Peter left a lingering kiss on her as he eyed her wickedly. After that, he whistled and went on his way to the bathroom.

Despair crept in her heart as she heard the gush of water within the shower room.

Once Barton arrived at the restaurant, he went

without further ado and hurried to the elevator. Jean and Terence trailed behind his rushing figure.

"Terence, what brought you here today?" Jean asked as if it was such an important matter than Zoe.

"Uncle Barton, don't worry. Everything will be fine," Terence assured, ignoring Jean once again.

"I hope so." Barton smiled bitterly. "Thank you for your help. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't know what to do."

"Let's exchange words later. Our priority right now is to save Miss Lin."

Upon hearing the men's conversation, Jean couldn't help but roll her eyes. "I think Zoe wanted this to happen. She must be enjoying it. She doesn't need your help at all."

Terence raised his brows at Jean. "Just so you know, you won't die if you shut your mouth."

"I'm just telling the truth."

"What made you so sure?" Terence scoffed at her.
