Chapter 7 Sealed With a Kiss

Half an hour later, a beam of bright light shone on Zoey.

She raised her hand to shield her eyes, and as the lights went out, she slowly lowered her hand.

Troy had already opened the car's back door and walked up to Zoey, gripping the handle of the suitcase.

"Mrs. Maddox, please get in the car."

Zoey said thank you and then got into the car.

She turned her head and smiled at the man, "Honey, nice to see you again!"

The pure smile made Russell smile lightly, "I thought you were crying just now when I heard your voice."

Zoey blinked. “Of course, I missed you so much it made me want to cry.”

“Liar,” he replied, but his lips still curved into a slight smile.

Zoey leaned forward and raised her bright little face, "Did my nose get longer?"

Russell chuckled and said, "How do you feel?"

"That must not have happened, because I never lie," Zoey laughed.

A faint scent of pear lingered around her, and Russell couldn’t help but swallow. “Sit properly.”

Zoey let out a soft "oh" and leaned against the man's arm.

At this moment, Troy got in the car.

Russell regained his serious demeanor and instructed him to return to Serene Manor.

Yes, Troy replied, and then thoughtfully raised the partition in the carriage.

Zoey was very familiar with Serene Manor.

Its location was near the eastern outskirts of Woodmerrow, where every inch of land was valuable.

However, that was not something that could be bought with money; it was simply a paradise on earth.

In the past, she, as Russell's chief secretary, would often come here to have him sign some documents or retrieve some information.

Of course, she had taken photos of those documents and materials, and gave them to Nelson.

The heavens allowed her to live another life, not only for her to seek revenge, but also for her to atone for her sins.

Zoey tightly clung to the man's arm, unaware that his arm was stiff.

Russell closed his eyes and couldn't ignore the soft touch, luckily they soon arrived at Serene Manor.

His voice was hoarse, "We have arrived."

Zoey was taken aback at first, then she looked out of the window.

Although it was night, every corner of Serene Manor was installed with ground lights, casting a dim and warm glow that appeared both cozy and romantic.

"Do you like it here?"

Zoey turned around and nodded, "Yes, I like it."

"This will be your home from now on."

Zoey suddenly clenched her hands. In her past life, she never received the warmth of a family until Russell brought it to her in this life.

She curved her lips and smiled, "Okay."

Zoey got out of the car and pushed Russell towards the villa.

At this moment, the villa gate opened and ten servants, led by butler Brent Sherman, stood in a row, bowing ninety degrees.

"Good evening, Mr. Russell. Good evening, Mrs. Maddox!"

Russell glanced sideways, "They were waiting for you to speak."

Zoey looked at a row of bowing people and cleared her throat, "Please stand up, everyone."

Upon hearing these words, everyone stood up straight.

"Brent is a man in his early sixties, who looks kind and benevolent. 'Madam, please give us your instructions,' he said.

Instructions?'

"Zoey pondered for a moment and said, ""I hope everyone will adhere to the 'Three Must-Nots'."

"Three Must-Nots?" the crowd echoed in surprise.

Brent wiped the sweat from his forehead, realizing that the new mistress was a formidable figure. Already setting rules on the first day of arrival.

Observing the crowd's astonished expressions, Zoey struggled to suppress her laughter. ""Absolutely no gossip, absolutely no betrayal, and absolutely no taking advantage of others for personal gain. I expect everyone to strictly comply with these principles.""  Ah, so that's what it was. Everyone let out a sigh of relief."

Thirty million?

Everyone: !

Brent wiped the sweat off his forehead, the new mistress was a tough character.

This cannot be fully explained in just a few days and nights, can it?

Zoey looked at the twitching corners of everyone's mouths and suppressed a laugh. "Never stir up trouble, never betray trust, never prioritize personal gain over others. I hope everyone strictly adheres to these principles."

Originally, it was like this, thirty million, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Russell chuckled.

Zoey lowered her head and whispered in the man's ear, "How did I do?"

The soft and fragrant strands of hair brushed against the corner of Russell's lips, causing him to catch his breath for a moment. "Well said," he said.

"Well, as long as I didn't embarrass you."

Russell made a soft sound, "Emilee, tidy up the room for Mrs. Maddox, the one next to mine."

Emilee Lopez nodded in agreement.

Zoey knew that Russell was pretending to be disabled now, so if she were in the same room as him, he would definitely be inconvenienced.

She didn't say much either.

After all, he had secrets, and she had secrets too.

Because Russell was in a wheelchair, the villa had an elevator installed.

The master bedroom was on the third floor, and Zoey pushed Russell into the room.

The sight was a black and white gray minimalist style, whether it was the decoration style or the items and supplies inside the room, it looked simple yet luxurious.

The walls were installed with a row of handles, and the tables and chairs had no sharp edges to avoid any collisions.

Russell looked up at her. “There aren’t any feminine products here, so you’ll have to make do tonight. I’ll have everything you need brought in tomorrow. Our marriage came as a bit of a rush, and due to my circumstances, we’ll have to keep things private for a while. I apologize if this feels unfair to you.”

Zoey’s eyes sparkled. “Well then, if you’re apologizing, how about a little compensation?”

Russell raised an eyebrow, "What compensation do you want?"

Zoey smiled brightly and said, "Come and kiss me."

Russell's gaze swept over her beautiful clear eyes, elegant straight nose, and curved diamond-shaped lips, delicate like a doll.

His heart rippled, he reached out and supported the back of Zoey's head, tilting his head and capturing her lips.

The man clumsily pecked, his teeth bumped, causing Zoey to burst into laughter.

"So you couldn't kiss, huh? That's why you didn't respond in the car earlier? Ah, I see now, you were afraid Troy would make fun of you."

“Don’t laugh,” Russell said, his voice hoarse.

But Zoey couldn't hold back her laughter, and the two of them were like children, really funny.

Russell's eyes darkened, and he sealed it with a kiss.

You have to admit, men are self-taught in this regard.

He silenced her with a deep, claiming kiss, leaving Zoey breathless. Not bad for a beginner—he learned fast.

The sound of knocking on the door rang out.

"Mrs. Maddox, I have already tidied up your room."

The lips of the two separated, and Zoey trembled with her eyelashes. She found that her hands had involuntarily wrapped around the man's neck, and the originally soft seat seemed to have turned into a hard seat.

Russell's eyes were filled with desire, and he lightly tapped the girl's slender back. His voice was deep and sexy, "Go back and rest."

Zoey knew that he didn't want her to notice his eraction, so she immediately jumped down and pursed her lips. "Well, I'll go then. Goodnight."

Russell nodded and said, "Goodnight."

Hearing the sound of the door closing, he abruptly stood up and walked to the door with his long legs, locking it, and then went into the bathroom.

He turned the knob to the cold water side, and icy water sprayed out from the showerhead.

The man saw the girl's delicate face in front of him, her eyes black and white, innocent yet captivating. Her thin lips were irresistible, and with just one kiss, he wanted to crush her in his arms.

A wave of heat surged in his lower abdomen, and a metallic clasp resounded in the surroundings. The man lifted his neck, and his rigid Adam's apple rolled...

In the next room, Zoey took a bath.

She heard the sound of a message coming in on the counter, wiped her hands and took a look. She couldn't help but squint her eyes.
