His Hybrid Mate

Chapter 136

　　If they had gone out alone to eat and had been discovered by Jennifer, she would have been the one who was beaten up.

　　But why would Jennifer call her in this situation?

　　Jennifer said, "I'm upset. I went through the hardest time with Zachary. Now that he is successful, he doesn't want me anymore. I knew that men were all like this, but I still felt hurt. I felt that the love I had given him for all these years was not worth it. Ms. Hall, I can't just let go like this."

　　"Jennifer, did you call me because you wanted me to do something for you?"

　　"I just wanted you to ask him why he treated me like this. What exactly did I do wrong? Why did he have to care about other women? If I were that bad in his eyes, why did he choose to be with me back then?" Jennifer said, heartbroken.

　　Annette thought for a moment and said awkwardly, "Jennifer, this is your business. Actually, I'm in no position to interfere."

　　"Ms. Hall, you don't like me, right? So when you heard that I broke up with Zachary, do you think I deserved it? Because I suspected you last week."

　　"I don't care about your suspicions. I just think that you and Zachary are a couple. If you have anything to ask him about, just ask. It's better than letting an outsider like me ask for you," said Annette.

　　"I understand now. You just don't want to help me," Jennifer sighed heavily. "Annette, do you have feelings for Zachary too?"

　　Annette frowned and thought, 'What kind of weird idea is this?' She emphasized, "I have a boyfriend."

　　"That doesn't mean you won't have a crush on another guy. Many people date more than one person at the same time.

　　"Ms. Burns." Annette's tone became colder. She changed the way she addressed Jennifer. She said, "I tolerate you because you are Zachary's girlfriend. I respect Zachary, so I respect you too. But if you have no self-respect, then don't blame me for disrespecting you."

　　"Can you just help me? I can't accept breaking up with him like this. Why would he enjoy his life with another woman after I suffered many hardships with him?" Jennifer's voice became sharp.

　　Annette said again, "I am in no position to interfere with your relationship. Zachary is a very kind person. If he really insists on breaking up with you, shouldn't you reflect on yourself a little? Also, Ms. Burns, please remember that I am not close to you. If not for Zachary, I would not even know a person like you. I will definitely stand on Zachary's side when you have a fight. So I can't help you. Just find someone else for help."

　　She hung up the phone after she finished speaking.

　　Annette had to offend Jennifer this time. She was such an annoying woman. 'I wonder how Zachary has put up with her all these years.'

　　Annette thought of Jennifer and then Connor.

　　'Connor is such an angel. I hope that he will always be kind and never become someone like Jennifer. She is so scary.'

　　She sat for a moment and dialed Zachary's number.

　　"Zachary, it's me."

　　"I know, Annette. What's up?"

　　Annette thought that the mall should be busy today. She quickly said, "It's the weekend. Are you busy? I can call you later."

　　"It's okay. I've finished my work. I'm free now."

　　"Zachary, Jennifer called me just now."

　　Zachary frowned and asked, "Did she bother you again? Just ignore her. She is always like that."

　　"I'm fine. I just want to check on you. Are you okay?"

　　Zachary was silent for a moment and said, "Do you have time at noon? Come to the mall. Let's talk when we eat."

　　"Okay."

　　Annette hung up the phone and went downstairs.

　　When she came to the mall, she sent a text to Zachary and he came down quickly.

　　In order not to lose their appetite, they made a deal to eat first and chat after lunch.

　　After eating and drinking, Annette looked at him and asked, "You really broke up with Jennifer?"

　　"Yes."

　　"There's no room for negotiation?"

　　"Did she ask you to persuade me?"

　　Annette smiled and said, "Yes, but I didn't agree."

　　"Then she didn't treat you as an enemy?"

　　Annette spread her hands and said, "You know her well."

　　"In the past two years, this was all she did. The reason why I insisted on coming back from abroad has a lot to do with her. All these years, I could not talk to any women at all. As long as she knew it, no matter if the woman was single or married, she would always think that I cheated on her and then insulted them. I've never done anything wrong and she was too much. At first, I tried to put up with her and told myself that she did this because she loved me, but later on, I couldn't stand it anymore. After all, she always humiliates women who speak to me right to my face."

　　Zachary was full of complaints. Obviously, he had been suppressing it for too long.

　　"Today, in the busy shopping mall, not only did she slap my colleague, but she also insulted her, saying that she hooked up with her boyfriend and should drop dead.

　　"She is just an intern in the mall. She was stunned at that time. Just now, she went upstairs to resign. She said that she didn't want her reputation to be ruined for no reason. You don't know how I felt at that time."

　　"I think I can relate to that girl," Annette said with a helpless smile.

　　"I'm sorry about what happened last time. My parents don't like her, but for me, they have been putting up with her. No matter how much she resists this time, I don't want to go on anymore. I loved her, but it faded away long ago. I didn't do anything wrong to her, so I don't want to be watched like a prisoner anymore."
