Charlotte ignored the pain and got back on her feet. Then, she pushed the door before Zenios could close it and ran into Zenios’s study. Zenios’s expression darkened, and a surge of anger flooded his heart. He pointed at her face with a trembling finger while his shapely lips were quivering vigorously. “I warned you before, and I will tell you again, stop defiling her name. You’ve stepped out of line, and if you don’t want me to hit you, then get the hell out of my house now!”Charlotte heaved out a sigh and said innocently, “I know. I know that it’s almost impossible for you to believe me, but can you stop being so furious when I mention her name? Think about it calmly. I know how sad you are about her death, so how are there any chances I would use her death to provoke you for no reason? Do you think I’m a fool?”Although Zenios had regained his composure, his gaze was still filled with indignation and coldness as he stared at her. “I’d rather believe that you are a fool than b
“Carlie!” Zenios was overfilled with joy, but he regained his composure in the next second.“Cut it out, Sotiria! You think you can fool me just by rolling your eyes and pretending to fall down?”“What are you talking about, Zenios? I’m Charlotte! If you don’t believe me, you can ask me something that only we both know.”Charlotte walked step by step up to Zenios, but Zenios stretched his hand to stop her.“Stand where you are. If you’re really Carlie, then tell me where we first met?”“Cardinal Place,” Charlotte answered without any hesitation.Zenios’s tall body shook, and his voice began to tremble as he asked the second question.“Then, how did we meet that time? What were you doing at that time?”Charlotte curled her lips up calmly and replied, “It happened so many tears ago. On that day, my father contracted a serious illness. He was in the hospital with a persistent high fever, and when he was in delirium, he kept mumbling Kourtney’s name. As such, I went to beg Kourtne
Charlotte was nearly choked to death in Zenios’s embrace. She grinned painfully and said, “Zenios… You’re holding me too tight. I… I can’t breathe…”“I’m sorry.” Zenios hastily apologized and let go of her. He lowered his head slightly and gazed at her with his blue eyes filled with tears. At that moment, her face seemed to have become Charlotte’s beautiful face in his eyes.“I thought I would not be able to see you ever again in my life. Carlie, I’m so happy to be reunited with you. Why don’t you just make Sotiria’s body your own? In this way, you can stay by my side forever!”“I’m afraid I can’t do that.”Charlotte smiled through her tears as she recalled those scenes that she had read from ghost stories in the past. Then, she said, “Listen to me, Zenios, ghosts and human beings are two different species. Although I can return to the mortal world through Tiria’s body, I can’t linger here for too long. My soul can only stay in her body for a few minutes at maximum. However, I won’
Charlotte was smiling inside of her heart, but she did not let her true feelings appear on her face.“It’s alright, Mr. Zenios Connor. Didn’t I already tell you that I’m doing this because Charlotte asked me for my help in my dream last night? Well, Charlotte is my idol, and I’m more than willing to help her. Since my job is done here, I think I should leave now.”With that, she turned around and left.” Wait!” Zenios was born with long legs, and it only took him a few large strides to arrive in front of her. Looking at her nervously, he whipped up a smile on his face and said, “Don’t rush off yet. Think about what you like or need, and as long as I can afford it, I will buy it for you.”“But…”Charlotte shook her head, but she nodded in the next second.“There’s really nothing I want, but if you want to thank me so much, can you do something for me?”Zenios, who just wanted to make Sotiria happy, looked at her with tears in his eyes as he said, “Just shoot it. As long as I can
Although she still could not tell Zenios the truth, he seemed to have been reborn just by knowing that she was actually still alive and he could still meet her through Sotiria’s body. His eyes were filled with vigor and vitality again, and he shaved off the beard that he had not shaved in more than four years...‘One day, I will tell Zenios everything without hiding any part of the truth.‘One day, I’ll change my face back and return with my true identity so that everyone who cares about me will no longer have to mourn for me.’Charlotte walked out of the living room. She passed through the yard and started walking toward the gate. That was when she saw two women walking by in front of her and to the right. She inadvertently looked over and saw a face that looked as fair as the first snow. She could not help but scream. “Tiffany Miller!”Tiffany did not react at all.Only the maid who was supporting Tiffany on her right-hand side smiled politely at Charlotte. “Ms. Green, although
The restaurant where Zenios had invited Zachary out to lunch was called “House of the Seashells”.Charlotte parked her car outside of the restaurant and started walking to the entrance of the restaurant. Suddenly, she felt a chill on top of her head and looked up—It turned out that the female shopkeeper of a salon that was located on the second floor was watering her plants, and because she had spilled water, she’d accidentally poured it on Charlotte’s head.Charlotte went straight to the second floor.Upon seeing her, the owner put down the watering can and apologized to her instantly. “Miss, I’m so sorry. I wet your hair and clothes because I wasn’t paying attention and didn’t notice that someone was downstairs. If you don’t mind, I own this salon, so I’ll wash your hair for free. We can also use my hairdryer to dry your clothes. Is that okay with you?”“I didn’t come to find you because of this.” Charlotte looked at the pots of flowers on the window sill, stuck her head out of
Charlotte was stunned slightly. “What are you talking about...”“I said, Garrison still can’t satisfy you.” The corners of Zachary’s lips were lifted indifferently, and his eyes looked unconcerned and indifferent. “Otherwise, why would you feel so lonely that you’d come back to Rothesay to find yourself another man?”A bomb seemed to have been set off in Charlotte’s mind.Zachary, who was regal and decisive, ignored her, shifted his gaze away from her face indifferently, and walked out of the private room with huge strides.When Charlotte came back to her senses, Zachary’s figure had already disappeared through the doorstep.She chased after him immediately, but when she walked out of the room, she realized that Zachary had a 35-feet head start. She stared at his cold back in disappointment as loss and unwillingness were intertwined in her eyes.“Zachary Connor, after experiencing so many things, it’s excusable for you to be prejudiced against me. For some reason, I can’t tell yo
“Just now in the corridor, you swore that you really love me.” Zachary’s clear voice was faint.The few people nearby who heard what Zachary said looked at Charlotte even more contemptuously.As the saying goes, good news crawls on its belly, but bad news has wings.Sotiria had become notorious ever since she had been discovered getting it on with Zachary in the bathroom during her wedding to Garrison. Now, everyone in Rothesay knew her!Sotiria Green! She really was a b*tch with no integrity.Forget about the fact that she’d been caught cheating on her wedding day. She was still shamelessly trying to get involved with Mr. Connor although he had already gotten married. She wanted to be a homewrecker!Charlotte ignored the gazes of other people and nodded without hesitation. “Yes, I’m being sincere.”Zachary’s eyes were as clear as an ice crystal, and a sneer formed momentarily on his face. “Since you’re sincere, do you have the guts to say it out loud so that everyone in this re
