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
“Hah!” Lucas did not know how to react to Charlotte’s reply. “Ms. Green, don’t feel too good about yourself. You obviously just screwed yourself up just now, okay? Let me tell you, even if Second Master got married to any other woman, he wouldn’t have an extramarital affair. Even if Second Master had fallen for you back then, it’s no exception, unless...”Charlotte asked immediately, “Unless what?”Lucas rubbed his oversized earrings. “Unless Charlotte comes back from the dead.”Charlotte looked at Lucas in a daze while tons of emotions were surging in her heart.Lucas sighed and continued. “Unfortunately, Mrs. Connor has died. Even if someone were to have a second life, it has been more than four years. Mrs. Connor might have been reincarnated as another baby. Sotiria, I would advise you to give up. Don’t waste all your energy for color again.”After saying that, he opened the door and got into the car.Charlotte lifted her eyebrows confidently, her eyes filled with determinatio
This was also the first time Charlotte had met Lorraine after her memory came back to her.Seeing her, Charlotte instantly returned to her senses as if a pail of iced water was poured directly on top of her head. She pushed the car door to open it, and the corners of her lips were lifted sarcastically. “Lory, there’s no need to throw me such a huge ceremony even if you plan to welcome your sister-in-law back to Rothesay, right? My body won’t suffer much when you crash into me, but your body is so delicate. You’re the new daughter-in-law of the family, so it’d be bad if you were to hurt yourself through this accident.”“Cut the bullsh*t!” Lorraine glared at Charlotte, her beautiful eyes filled with resentment. “Let me ask you, what on earth are you planning to do!?”“Huh!?” Charlotte pretended to be confused. “Why don’t I understand you? What do you mean by what I am planning to do?”“You’re still pretending!” Lorraine was so angry that her voice sounded sharp, and her whole body wa
