“Breakfast is made.” Zaire strode toward the woman who didn’t bother to hide her intense gaze and blew warm air into her ear.Lotus jumped in shock, not expecting Zaire to catch her red-handed. Her face reddened upon realizing that Zaire had prepared food. She didn’t even realize when he did because she had been so fixated on his handsome figure. “Yes. Yes.” Lotus nodded her head fawningly and walked toward the dining room eagerly.Just the scent drifting from the meal made her know that Zaire’s meal would definitely be delicious. Just what can’t Zaire do? No wonder he's famously known as a genius!It was after Zaire placed all the meals on the table that Lotus realized that Zaire had made her a five-course meal. Just the meal arrangement made her feel as if the meal were made by a top chef. The sight and scent were enough to make her mouth water.Lotus eagerly picked up her cutlery and placed it into the meal. Immediately, she scooped up the meal and raised the cutlery toward her mo
“Mr. Zaire?” Lotus suddenly called, attracting Zaire's attention.Zaire’s detached facial expression softened, and his hand holding Lotus’s hand tightened, signifying that he was listening to her.Ever since the duo alighted the car, Lotus noticed that all the staff were addressing Zaire with the boss tag. Even though Lotus had never shopped in the Luxurey shopping mall before, the rumors that circled made Lotus know that the Luxurey company had an anonymous boss and strict regulations concerning their customers. It’s famously known that regardless of one’s wealth and status, the shopping mall staff tends to treat all their customers with the same treatment, and no one can show off airs to the staff. Before they could, the customer would be politely thrown out and banned from the shopping mall forever. It was even famously known that the manager’s face is hardly seen, and the number of times the manager has stepped out of his office for the customer to see can be counted on one han
Unfortunately, the actions of Zaire pulling Lotus behind him interrupted Anonymous X’s words. “Don't even think about it,” he asserted imperiously. Anonymous X stood arms-akimbo and stared at Zaire fearlessly. “It turns out that this was the reason the boss suddenly sent a design. The boss already has a muse next to him.” His eyes bulged, and he turned up his nose. “However, don't you think you're being cruel to me? I should currently be in country X with a sexy and beautiful girl at my beck and call, but all because of you…” he pointed at Zaire with teary eyes. “I'm cooped up in the design room without going out for months. Now that I need one thing from you, you'll cruelly evade me?” He quipped Zaire wrapped his hands around Lotus’s waist and retorted coldly. “She's not your muse.” Immediately, Anonymous X broke into a shrill and unpleasant cry, “Wahhh!” He sobbed. Even though his sobbing sounded extremely pitiful, his eyes that were glinting with a devious glint made him look
CHAPTER 52: Night Activities Zaire led Lotus toward the section of the mall famously known as the most expensive section of the mall. There were fewer people in the section compared to the other sections of the mall.Lotus’ brows knitted in curiosity. Since Lotus and Zaire already got the dress Lotus wanted to wear, what were the two doing at the expensive section of the mall? “Zaire?” Lotus tugged at Zaire’s cufflink curiously. “Secretary wears,” Zaire commented. He elegantly sat on a sofa and took out his phone to focus on it. Immediately, Lotus understood that Zaire was asking her to select the clothes Lotus would be wearing as his secretary. Lotus smacked her lips together. All she needed was a suit, wasn’t it? They don't need to buy something expensive, right? However, thinking about it, she's Zaire's wife and secretary, so she can't dress too shabbily or it'll speak badly of Zaire.Lotus’s hand stroked her card that was placed in her purse. The money in her card should be en
The car sleekly drove until it conspicuously stopped in front of the city's famous cinéma. Zaire alighted the car and stretched out his hand toward Lotus. Immediately, Lotus alighted the car also.Upon seeing the cinema, Lotus' eyes widened and her lips parted in astonishment. “Boss Zaire, are we on a date?” she inquired The two had just shopped for the things Lotus wanted to gift Grandfather Ludovic, and Lotus expected that the two would return home. However, Lotus didn't expect that Zaire would bring her to the cinema instead.Zaire shook his head and responded calmly. “Bring you to have fun.”Upon hearing this, Lotus smacked her lips together and lowered her head, a trace of gloom flickering past her eyes. Lotus didn't know whether to feel joyful or… She raised her hand to massage her chest. But why does her heart ache a bit with sadness and disappointment?Zaire paused and extended his hand to rub her head endearingly. He lowered his head next to her ear and bit her ear gently, “
Lotus clumsily sucked the tip of Zaire's tongue before shoving her tongue into his mouth.Although the woman's kiss was inexperienced and clumsy, it was enough to light up Zaire's desire. He held her thin waist and grabbed her chin softly.He licked, nibbled, and swept over her lips domineeringly until the woman's knees softened and her brain became muddled. Lotus had to cling to Zaire for support. It was only after Zaire noticed that the woman was getting short of breath that he reluctantly parted from her. He kissed her forehead and whispered next to her ear. “Thank you.” Thank you for accepting me so soon. Thank you for pardoning my previous actions and opening your heart to the new me. I promised not to hurt you ever again.Although Zaire only said two words, the raw and sincere emotions conveyed all the emotions he was feeling.It was after Lotus separated from Zaire did she paid attention to the crowd. Her face flushed red, and her eyes moistened upon realizing that they were
"Although I'm just watching this after a few years. I still can't help but realize that the male lead is very handsome. Worthy of capturing my..." Before Lotus could complete her words, Zaire's face contorted in a gloomy frown, and a cold aura began to ooze out of him. Lotus' eyes shone with amusement, and a playful giggle spilled past her lips. This man is so good at eating vinegar! Immediately, Lotus wrapped her hands around Zaire's hand coquettishly and smiled coyly. "Regardless of how handsome the men are, they pale in sight to my..." Lotus paused and bit her lower lip, a trace of red creeping on her face due to embarrassment. She let go of Zaire's hand and tiptoed next to Zaire's ear before whispering. "Hubby." The instant Lotus let out the words, she let go of Zaire's hand and dashed into the car with a flushed face and moist eyes. Upon hearing the beautiful address of the woman, Zaire's mood became exceptionally good. Without realizing it, the cold facade on his face di
Zaire's lips curved up, and he alighted the car. Immediately, he stretched out his hand and held Lotus' hand. Lotus alighted from the car. Immediately, they strode into the restaurant. The restaurant was quiet and empty except for two famous Michelin-starred chefs.There was an extravagant and decorated table with two chairs facing opposite each other at the center of the table. On the table, there were two glasses and a bottle of wine.The vintage warm lights were soft and romantic. On the right side of the restaurant, one will see the beautiful city view. On the other side, the magnificent view of a beautiful fountain surrounded by a beautiful garden filled one's vision. Soft symphonies invade one ear, making one inexplicably relax.Zaire strode toward one of the chairs and pulled it backward; he bowed slightly and stretched out his hands toward Lotus, "Please, sit, my lady." He expressed.Upon seeing such gentlemanly actions, Lotus' heart felt warm and sweetened. It was as if her
SIDE STORY 1: CHASING ZELDA “Ahhhhh!” Quist raised his neck and let out his outburst into the sky for the umpteenth time. After receiving two pieces of good news at the same time, how could he hold back from screaming? He certainly can’t. On the same day, Quist knew about Zelda's pregnancy, and on the same day, Zelda accepted his proposal. Quist felt that he could die tonight in bliss. Wait. No. No. He can't think so badly. If he dies tonight, then how can he end with his Zelda? No, he doesn't want to die! Immediately, Quist snapped out of his thoughts and hugged Zelda. “Wife…” Immediately, Zelda snorted, slapped Quist's hand, and glared at him. This silly playboy. She told him to chase after her properly; is this how to chase after a girl? “Mr. Quist, the proper way to chase after a girl is starting from introduction…” “Yes. Yes. Yes.” Quist nodded his head obediently and introduced, “I am Quist, Zelda's future husband. You are Zelda, Quist's beautiful wife.” The minute he comp
“Mom, I just called Dad, and an aunty with a sweet voice picked up the call.” The four-year-old Agassiz lowered the phone from his ear and blinked his black eyes innocently.As soon as he completed his words, he threw his phone onto the table and happily sauntered toward Arina, his younger twins. He cruelly tugged at Arina's hair twice and grinned wickedly.Arina pressed her lips together and glared at Agassiz before continuing to play games on her phone.Immediately after Lotus and Zaire’s wedding five years ago, the couple decided to settle down with the Landry family. Upon seeing the Landry family's top-notch medical skills and service, Zaire immediately switched to being a medical researcher with the intent of finding cures for rare diseases for non-profit use.Upon hearing Agassiz's words, Lotus carefully held her waist; her stomach bulged, revealing her six-month pregnancy. She stared at Agassiz gently and softly asked, “You called dad?”Agassiz paused in front of Lotus, blinke
“Your phone is ringing again. It’s your hubby Zaire.” Zelda enunciated and sighed for the umpteenth time while raising Lotus's phone in the air for Lotus to see her phone screen. Upon hearing Zelda’s words, Lotus’ eyes lit up, and she hurriedly separated from the hair and makeup staff who were currently applying makeup to her face while fixing her hair. “Bring it over. Bring it over.” Lotus waved her hand in the air and enthusiastically beckoned Zelda Upon hearing Lotus’ words, Zelda shook her head, snorted, and threw Lotus’ phone into the drawer. Lotus's expression changed immediately, and she glared at Zelda unhappily. Zelda folded her arms and began to chide Lotus. Zelda has always believed that Quist was the most clingy, but upon being in the couple’s vicinity, she realized that Lotus and Zaire were super clingy with each other. “Don’t even think about it.” The both of you just didn’t meet each other last night, but you still won’t let each other be. Just this morning you
Lotus held Zaire's hand and strolled her high school street, her eyes bright and a pleasant smile plastered on her face.Even though Lotus enjoyed visiting this place in the past, ever since she married Zaire, she was a bit worried about visiting this place. Lotus was afraid that Zaire might be unhappy with her visiting this place since she and Dylan were the ones who used to come here.But it turns out that her thoughts were really unnecessary because Zaire was the one who brought her here for a date.Lotus held Zaire's hand and eagerly strolled into her high school building. Currently, the school was on vacation, and it was during the weekend, which means no one was in the school's vicinity.Lotus held Zaire's hand and eagerly led him toward her classroom while pointing and explaining every part of the school.Lotus beamed and pointed at one of the front seats. “That's where I sit." Immediately she dragged Zaire toward the chair and table, and they sat down next to each other.Back
“Please come in, young master.” The instant Zaire arrived at the Landry mansion early the next morning, one of the Landry guards bowed to Zaire and said.Upon hearing the guard’s words, Zaire’s eyes flickered with amazement. He already expected the Landry family to scheme and prevent him from stepping into the mansion, but it turns out that they won’t resort so low...“Daddy, you’re here!” A loud scream resounded in the mansion and invaded Zaire’s ears. Instantly, two cute little legs bolted toward Zaire and jumped on Zaire.Zaire bent low and carried Maeva. Immediately, Zaire raised Maeva and twirled her around, causing her to giggle joyfully.It was only after a minute or two did Zaire hug her and pull her cheeks endearingly, a fatherly smile on his face. “Little princess.”“Good morning, dad. I missed you.” Maeva hooked her hands around Zaire’s neck and placed a loud kiss on his cheek. Zaire chuckled and rubbed her hair endearingly. “Dad missed little Princess Maeva a lot.” He exp
Upon seeing the fierce gazes that landed on them, Lotus’ face flushed red in embarrassment. She subtly pinched Zaire’s waist before inwardly chiding him for his actions. Zaire’s lips curved up, and he rubbed her endearingly.Lotus’ attention was grabbed by Reuben’s presence, and she lowered her head slightly to greet Reuben. “Reuben…”Reuben took a step forward, and his eyes brushed Zaire before flashing a provocative smirk at Zaire. So what if Zaire and Lotus are together? Reuben and Lotus came from the same world. Reuben smiled at Lotus gently, “I didn’t want to yet somehow I ended up here to sightsee, but it turns out..." He paused and took a glance at the place with eyes flickering with contempt. “Is this what you go through here…” unclean air, not so clean water...Understanding what Reuben implicitly meant, Lotus’s eyes flashed with disapproval. “I was born here all my life. What do you think?” Lotus retorted with a frown. No one chooses to be born in a certain place; how can
“Zaire?” Lotus’s eyes widened and her lips parted upon hearing Zaire’s words. She turned to Zaire in shock, not expecting him to sacrifice so much just for their family.Zaire had his family, friends, and life here, but he’s willing to sacrifice it just to make their family return to being together. Lotus’ heart melted, and she felt a surge of warmth invade her whole being. Zaire really loves her a lot.The Landry family's eyes flickered in amazement, but they disappeared in the next minute. The Ludovic family was calm as if they expected that result.Immediately, George snorted and rebutted harshly, his displeasure and loathing evident on his face and voice. “We have no space for strays,” he intoned.“Dad. Grandpa. Mom. Grandma.” Lotus’ expression changed, and she rebutted unhappily. How could they just come to a conclusion without even giving them the chance to prove themselves? Zaire is more than capable; how could her father call Zaire a stray?Zaire subtly held Lotus’s hand and
Lotus burrowed into Zaire’s embrace and puffed her cheeks in unhappiness. “I really itch to give that bitch a slap or flaunt to her at least.” Unfortunately, Lotus didn’t even cast a glance at Venus that bitch.Zaire poked her cheeks and chuckled in amusement. “She’s not worthy.” Lotus doesn’t need to dirty her hands because of a bitch like Venus. He consoled.Upon hearing Zaire’s words, Lotus nodded in agreement, her unhappiness dissipating without a trace. She hooked her arms around Zaire’s neck and rubbed her head in his neck coquettishly. “That’s right.” She acquiesced. Zaire gently placed a kiss on her fingers and played with her fingers. “Let’s go on a date.”Upon hearing Zaire’s words, a surge of happiness overwhelmed Lotus’s whole being, but in the next minute, she harrumphed, thrust out her chin, and puffed her cheeks cockily. “Why should I go on a date with you? You should coax me first.” She braggedZaire’s expression softened, and he poked her cheeks. His little and arrog
“Boss,” Wolf called and bowed respectfully the instant he picked up Zaire’s call. Zaire leaned back, his face blank and his eyes glazed. “Capture Venus; she’s making her escape out of the country,” Zaire ordered coldly, his head fixated on the keyboard screen. Upon hearing Zaire’s order, all trace of leisureness in Wolf disappeared, and his fist clenched. He hesitated, “Boss. Miss Venus has always…” Zaire’s brows arched, and his glazed eyes were replaced with extreme coldness. “Huh?” Even though Zaire and Wolf weren’t in the same place, it was as if the temperature had dropped, causing a trace of chills to run down Wolf’s spine. Although Zaire only let out a sound, it was enough for Wolf to know the implicit meaning behind Zaire’s words. He could only bite down his words and replied carefully, "Yes, boss.” As soon as Zaire cut off the call, Wolf lowered the phone from his ear. Wolf’s fist clenched, and his thoughts began to run chaotically, his emotions spiraling. He suddenly
