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
Charlotte was surprised and delighted. “What do you want me to do? Just name it. I’ll do it as long as it’s within my abilities.”Her lips were open, and her eyes lit up. There was also a surge of joy and touch in her heart!‘Zachary! He’s finally moved! As long as he’s willing to agree to be my lover, I’ll be able to get closer to him in the future. There will be more opportunities for me to warm his cold heart!‘Zachary! He’s going to come back to life again!’The corners of Zachary’s perfectly curved lips lifted coldly. “I want you to run around this restaurant three times without your clothes.”‘What!?’Charlotte seemed to have fallen into an ice cave—the only sensation that she could feel at that moment was a sheer coldness.“Can you do it?” Zachary’s unconcerned and unruly voice brushed through her like a ruthless blizzard.Charlotte stared at him in a daze. Her rosy lips were opened, but she could not say another word anymore.‘Zachary didn’t even think about agreeing w
Charlotte had been accumulating all her strength deep down.“Be careful!” Charlotte screamed as she saw that the pot was about to hit Zachary’s head. At the same time, she used up all the strength that she harvested from each and every fiber of her being to push Zachary’s waist.Zachary, who was as tall and sturdy as the trunk of a tree, actually got pushed forward by her and staggered three steps forward. He then fell into the flowerbed on the side of the road.Crash! The cactus dropped to the ground, and the pot shattered into pieces.This scene attracted the attention of a group of passersby.“Ahem!” Charlotte cleared her throat in embarrassment when she saw Zachary lying in the flowerbed. “Err... I’m sorry! I was too focused on trying to save you. I didn’t expect myself to exert so much force and embarrass you in public. Get up!”She then bent down and stretched her right hand toward Zachary.Zachary did not hold her hand but got back up calmly, his gaze faintly sweeping a
After lifting her face to the fullest extent, he tightened his powerful grasp all of a sudden.“Aah!” The sudden assault of pain caused Charlotte to return to her senses instantly.Immediately afterward, she saw him open his pearl-white teeth and thin lips, and a cold voice hit her face like a ruthless blizzard.“Sotiria, is this the routine that you used on all those men in the past?”Charlotte was rendered speechless, her eyebrows twitching repetitively.An ominous feeling spread like a fog in her heart.Zachary continued to explain in the next second, “That little trick of yours, you might be able to fool others with it, but not me. What happened just now was not an accident. You and the woman from the saloon on the second floor are in cahoots.”‘Oh my God!’Charlotte’s eyes widened while her jaw shivered. She was so scared that she could not even utter a single word.‘Zachary! Although he’s been dead and living like a zombie without any feeling or emotion, his IQ hasn’t go
