After Dirvorce I become a SheEO by Vada Weeks - Chapter 866
Chapter 866 The Gossip
Lincoln glanced at him and spoke in a deep, assured voice, “This is the unwavering love my wife has
for me. What would you know, you lonely bachelor?” Aziel was speechless. It wasn’t highly offensive,
but it carried a strong sense of insult. After the wedding, as per tradition, Zayla returned home, but this
time, Theodore didn’t let her leave. As long as Zayla packed her suitcase, Theodore would start
shedding tears, wiping them away while pitifully muttering. “You only come back for just a few days,
and now you are leaving. You have got a husband, and forget about your parents.”
Zayla was speechless. Zayla immediately discussed with Lincoln to stay a few more days. Lincoln had
no objections as long as Theodore and Scarlet let him in. He would be happy if they could allow him to
sleep with his wife every night, no matter where they stayed. So, what was originally planned as three
to five days turned into thirty to fifty days. During this period, every time Zayla mentioned going back,
Theodore would start crying, from the initial murmurs of grievance to silent tears now. “Dad, please
stop crying.” Zayla handed him a tissue, comforting him softly.
Theodore covered his face, wiping away tears, his voice muffled. “Leave me be. Let me silently stay in
the corner, silently shedding tears, missing my daughter who’s about to leave home.” Theodore, who
used to scold her as a brat and say she was always causing trouble, had suddenly turned into a crying
old man. Zayla looked puzzled, not understanding what was going on. She immediately turned to
Scarlet and asked in a low voice, “Mom, what’s wrong with Dad?” Scarlet shrugged, equally perplexed.
“I’m clueless too. I asked him, but he won’t say anything. He just says he can’t bear to see you go. You
can come back anytime you want, and we can visit anytime too.” Zayla nodded, watching the pitiful
Theodore’s back, gently touching her chin, lost in thought. “Mom, did something happen at home
before I returned?” “No, nothing.” “Did Dad meet anyone?” Scarlet quietly recalled from two weeks ago
and replied truthfully, “The day before you returned, your dad played a round of golf with Mr. Lee.” “Mr.
Lee? Which Mr. Lee?” “The one whose three daughters all married matrilocal sons-in-law.” “Oh.” Zayla
nodded, seeming to understand something. “So, it was his idea!” Theodore envied Mr. Lee’s three
daughters finding matrilocal sons-in-law. No wonder he wanted to keep her at home. If it went on for
too long, it would be unclear whether Lincoln was a matrilocal son-in-law. After all, he gave her all his
wealth, and now he essentially worked for her. It wouldn’t be a problem if he became a matrilocal son-
in-law of the Vargas family, right?

If her guess was correct, there were probably already rumors and discussions in the group and
company. Even the high society of Harper was probably speculating about whether Lincoln had
become a matrilocal son-in-law of the Vargas family. Zayla smiled, took a few steps forward, and
placed a thick pack of paper napkins in front of Theodore. “Dad, go ahead and cry. It’s fine for men to
cry. Anyway, I’m definitely leaving tonight.” With those words, Zayla turned and left. After she walked
out of the villa, Theodore was furious, grabbing several napkins and wiping his nose! “You brat! I’m
helping you solidify your position! Have you no conscience? Just watching me cry like this?”
