Trinity felt that she must be drunk and delusional. This must be a sweet dream? But she still had to face the sad reality when she woke up, right?In that case, she might as well discard this dream sooner!Trinity bit her lips. The pain cleared her mind a little, and she shoved Fredric away to stand firm and kept up her facade.“No need, really! I know you’re busy. I can actually—”“You can’t! Why don’t you need me?” Fredric grabbed her hand. He had drunk a little as well, and some things could only be said while he was tipsy.“Trinity, I’m sorry. I’ve understood it too late. I—”“Let go of her.” A cold voice suddenly sounded at the door.Fredric and Trinity were stunned at the tall figure under the dim light.Footsteps approached them slowly before a force separated the two of them. Trinity was pulled to someone else.“Mr. Constable, don’t you think it’s too late to say these now?”“Neil!” Trinity warned softly.Fredric opened his mouth but said nothing. His fists on his si
When Zephyr and Cordelia arrived at the police station, they saw Fredric and Neil sitting on each end of the bench in the lobby. Both of them looked horrible, while Trinity, who was in the center, looked at them with a troubled expression. When she looked up and saw Cordelia, it was like she saw a savior and hurried over to hold her hand.“What happened?” Zephyr was bewildered as he glared at Fredric. “You, a lawyer, fought?”The corners of Fredric’s lips twitched, and he turned away. It was rather embarrassing when he was controlled by alcohol.Usually, he was the one who bailed people out of the police station. Now? Zephyr was here with other lawyers to bail him out.The Hamertons’ legal team was efficient and completed the procedures shortly. The lawyers tried to hold their laugh back when they saw Fredric and went to inform Zephyr before they left the police station.Cordelia found the whole matter unbelievable as well and ran over to check Neil’s face after comforting Trini
Trinity stepped forward then and gave them a hit each.“What’s wrong with the two of you?”Neil and Fredric looked at her in unison and wanted to say something but swallowed it back after glancing at each other.They were smart, and no one wanted to be the first to speak and let another man catch any weakness.“Alright, stop arguing!” Trinity looked at them with a frown. She waved her hand. “Leave!”“Okay, I’ll send you back!” Neil stood next to her first.Fredric paused. How could he react so slowly at a time like this!?“Trinity, let me send you.” He smiled. “We spent the night in the police station and haven’t eaten. I’ll take you for breakfast first… What do you think about the soup and buns at the school gate? I remember that you like them!”Neil smirked. Child’s play—did Fredric want to defeat him with a shared memory?“Mr. Constable, I think it’s best that you go back to your firm to salvage your reputation as the ace lawyer! After all, the legal field isn’t that big. Y
Zephyr’s heart thumped, and he quickly went after Zennie.Cordelia dared not run too fast as she was pregnant, so she followed behind him by walking fast. He stopped in front of the outpatient building, looking rather gloomy.There was only one department, the psychology department.There was a counseling room there. Important figures of Centrolis frequented this place to vent whatever they had.Cordelia was worried and instantly thought Zennie might be there to talk to a psychologist, not for the college entrance examination, but for the strange message from an anonymous number.She had Seth guiding her for the examination. She was usually great at taking stress, and she had always aced in school.Therefore, that should not be it.So… the message was the only reason!Cordelia jolted and looked at Zephyr. They soon understood what they had in mind from each other’s eyes.“Hubby!” Cordelia quickly pulled him. “Don’t go in now!”He stopped.That was right. He was too impulsive
Suddenly, there was passion in the atmosphere, and the air around was getting warm.The best actress’ beautiful face was stunning under the colorful lights.Fredric was sweating. He would dodge whenever Millie inched closer to him. He was bending so much that he almost fell—there was nowhere that he could avoid her anymore.Fredric forced a smile. “M-Ms Hill, can you calm down? Please…”Millie looked at him for a while and suddenly straightened her body. She drank in a carefree manner and teased him. “Boring!”He widened his eyes.“Why are you so nervous? Are you scared that I will eat you?” she asked in disdain.The dress she was wearing was dark red embroidered with golden peonies. It was eye-catching.She opened a button at the collar, showing her long and fair neck. Her collarbones were seductive.She was charming.Millie thought it was funny when she saw his blank face. “That was the audition scene for my new movie. How was it? Can I get the role?”Fredric was rendered
“I…” Fredric licked his lips and smiled awkwardly.“This is a bar. It isn’t a place where girls like you would come. I thought I saw you, so I came after you… Wouldn’t your brother flip the entire Centrolis over if something happened to you?”“I’m an adult, okay?” Zennie mumbled. “Also, can’t I come here to relax due to the stress I’m getting from school? Who said bars prohibit students…”“Okay, okay.” He was helpless, “Don’t stay out late. Go home soon.”“Got it. I’m going home now!” She waved at him and hopped toward the main street happily.Fredric frowned as he watched her leave.He was unsure why, but he had a feeling she seemed to be different from how she usually was. Although she had tried her best to force her usual cheekiness… No matter what, she was different.He hoped that he was overthinking. After thinking it through, he decided to inform Seth. He was the boyfriend that everyone wished Zennie would end up with!He walked to the car park to hail a cab and texted
Phil kept challenging Zennie’s sensitivity, driving her mad.“I’m begging you, Phil…” Zennie looked at him while crying. “Let me go. I really can’t do it… I’ve no grudge against the people at the bar. Why would I want to harm them with drugs?“Phil, I won’t tell anyone if you let me go. Okay? Let me go… I’ll give you money, I’ll give you a lot of money, enough for you to leave Centrolis and live a good life…”She was panting from crying and sounded incoherent.Although it was the main street, not many people walked by.Even when there were some pedestrians, whenever Zennie wanted to beg for help, Phil would grab her waist to hug her. He would lift his baseball cap and smile at the passersby apologetically.The more she struggled, the more he wanted to fight her.‘Stop it, baby. Come home with me!”His voice was even gentler than the light at dawn. The passersby would smile from their hearts when they heard what he said.Zennie shrieked with all that she had. “Help! Help me!”
“Work well!” Liam smiled. “I believe your wife will treat you well!”What?Zephyr was stunned and could not react for a long time.“Say… What’s wrong with you? Why do you keep zoning out?” Liam glanced at him, irritated. He could not believe the heir that he trained himself was only left with a handsome face now. He had nothing in his brain.Zephyr forced a smile. “Grandpa, I don’t understand what you mean…”“I’m saying that you should work for your wife. Don’t let her exhaust herself! Cordelia is reasonable. I heard that she gives you… allowance? I’m sure she’ll raise your allowance a little bit!”Zephyr was rendered speechless. He stared at his wife, who was laughing out loud.In the end, he was still a bee that worked for his wife?‘Alright, then…’He had signed the labor contract for life. He would belong to her as long as he was alive. He would forever be hers, even in his next lives.He patted her head with allure in his eyes. He could not hide the sweetness his smile o
