Zachary went forward and stood in front of Charlotte. He glanced indifferently at the men in the front like a king as he said, “Whoever dares to come within one meter of her today will get his feet cut off. Whoever dares to lay a finger on her will get his hands cut off. Whoever dares to hug her will be killed.”Those people slowed down at the same time.Ivan scoffed coldly, “The first person to catch her will be rewarded with 100,000 dollars!”The moment they heard what Ivan said, they all cast their fear aside and dashed toward Charlotte like a bunch of lunatics.“Argh!”The man who rushed at the front was kicked away by Zachary and smashed into the group of people behind him. Immediately, Zachary punched another person’s face, causing blood to gush out of his mouth and two of his teeth to fall to the floor.“Argh!”“Argh!”“Argh!”The six men who had rushed into the bathroom first screamed in pain as they were defeated by Zachary one after another. However, before he c
Charlotte's face turned red as she looked at Garrison with clear eyes full of apology.“I’m sorry, Garrison. I didn’t expect things to turn out this way…”“I remember telling you before that you never have to apologize to me.” Garrison interrupted her, his beautiful eyes filling with sadness and gentleness.“Besides, I know your true identity, so fundamentally speaking, you're not my wife and you don't have to apologize to me.”The corner of Charlotte’s lips twitched.Garrison!He had always been so nice to her, which was why she could not hate him although he had been lying to her for the past 4 years.“Alright.”When he saw that Charlotte was about to say something, he winked at her and added, “You'd better stop talking now given your current condition. Hurry up and get dressed.”“Okay…”Charlotte lowered her head slightly and walked toward the door.What she did not notice was that Zachary’s face had become as dark as the bottom of a pot.Although she could not control h
“Mommy!” A silvery voice erupted and brought Charlotte back to reality.By the time she regained her senses, she saw Naomi run toward her and throw herself into her embrace.Delighted, Charlotte picked Naomi up from the floor and habitually pinched Naomi’s chubby cheek. “Look who’s here! I missed you so much, my sweetheart. I’m so happy to see you!”Naomi’s big, crystal-like eyes blinked as she said, “I missed mommy too and I’m very, very happy to see mommy.”Zachary was standing in front of the French windows. His eyes were filled with a turmoil of emotion as he stared at Naomi, whose face was a miniature version of Charlotte’s face.Upon realizing that Zachary was staring at her, Naomi pouted in discontent. “Hmph! What are you looking at, Mr. Meanie?”Zachary’s brows furrowed as a hint of embarrassment appeared on his face.Naomi rolled her eyes at Zachary and added, “You always bully my mommy. I hate you! Stop staring at me!”After saying that, she buried her head in Cha
“No, I can’t…”The adorable little girl, who was as cold as ice yet as smooth as a marble statue, shook her head vigorously.“My daddy and mommy told me that I can’t just call anyone ‘daddy’. I only have one daddy, Mr. Meanie. You can bribe me with chocolate all you want, but I won’t call you daddy.”A hint of disappointment flashed across Zachary’s inky eyes.Then, he heard Naomi giggle and say, “Did you know, Mr. Meanie? I love Chocolate Teddy Bear chocolates. That chocolate shop isn’t too far away from my house. If you buy a piece of my favorite chocolate from that shop, I’ll give you a hug or a kiss.”Zachary, who rarely showed any emotion, actually displayed a hint of glee on his perfect, glacier-like face. “If you hug and kiss me right now, I’ll buy the entire chocolate shop for you.”Naomi wiggled away from Charlotte’s arms as soon as she heard this and scurried toward Zachary on her little feet.Zachary knelt compliantly and stretched out his arms.Naomi threw herself
“Gary! Why did you have to come back now of all times? You completely ruined my plans! Did you know that?”Garrison stared blankly at her.“I know.”‘What?’Lorraine’s pretty, limpid eyes displayed a hint of shock.“Are you saying that you knew that I asked dad to break into your house to catch them in the act? And you knew that I asked our father to bring a large group of men over because I wanted to forcibly drag Charlotte back to Bay City to be with you?”Garrison nodded.“But… you came back anyway…”Extreme shock and confusion made Lorraine’s voice tremble.“Gary! Don’t you realize that if I brought Charlotte back, we would both benefit? Why are you…”“Lory.”Garrison gently cut Lorraine off.“Do you still not understand? It’s time for us to give up on love and voluntarily step aside. That’s the only way. It will be good for Carlie and Zachary, and it’ll be good for us too.”Lorraine trembled.She hadn’t slept the entire night, so the dark circles around her eyes made
Jebediah was sitting in the driver’s seat. The dazzling rays of the sun were shining on his incomparably handsome face.Click!The door was suddenly pulled open. Then, Lorraine’s resentful voice hit him. “You knew, didn’t you?”Jebediah stared at her haggard face, then at her still-flat belly.“Yes.”“Heh…”Lorraine laughed. The tips of her fingers trembled even more violently than ever.“Sometimes, just to make you happy, I would tell you not to use a condom. In the end, I hit the jackpot. Since you found out, you should feel even sorrier for me, you should thank me, and you should pour even more effort into helping me with my campaign against Charlotte. But what did you do instead? You helped the enemy behind my back. Just as victory seemed well within my grasp, you summoned my brother back to Rothesay and saved her!”The hurt on her face made Jebediah’s deep, icy pupils overflow with sympathy. “I’m doing this for us.”“For us?” Lorraine sneered. “Fine! I’ve had enough, Jebe
Jebediah got out of the car. He then gently held her small trembling hands.“Open your eyes to reality. Give Zach what he wants, divorce him, and I promise to love you and our child for the rest of our lives, okay?”He gently pulled her into his arms, fully intending on helping her into the car.“Get away from me!”Lorraine summoned strength from nowhere and pushed Jebediah away at once.The tall, stalwart Jebediah actually took a large step back thanks to her push and landed in a sitting position in the driver’s seat.Lorraine stared icily at him. Her pretty, limpid eyes were a mixture of disdain and disappointment.“Wake up, Jebediah. I’ll never love you. Your love is not important to me, and I’m never going to give birth to this child because you don’t deserve it!”Jebediah shivered, as if a bucket of ice-cold water had been poured over his head.Lorraine’s trembling right hand stroked her belly. “The b*stard growing in my belly is a constant reminder of the humiliation I
Lorraine stared at Charlotte hatefully. “Jebediah said that you made a deal. What kind of deal did you make with him?”Charlotte shook her head and smirked. “That’s a secret between us. I’m not telling you.”“A secret between you?”A hint of disdain appeared in Lorraine’s resentful glare. “I see. It’s just as I thought.”Charlotte was slightly stunned.“What did you think?”Lorraine’s smile was filled with even more ridicule. “What else could it possibly be? Your best quality lies in seducing men. Isn’t that right? You must have seduced Jebediah, just like you seduced Zach. Who knows, maybe you crawled into his bed. That’s why Jebediah is willing to abandon me for you.”“You…” Charlotte couldn’t take it anymore. She raised her hand and slapped Lorraine’s face.“Argh!”Lorraine’s graceful figure, which was already extremely haggard, wavered. She landed on the ground with a thud.She didn’t seem to feel any pain. Instead, she lifted the half of her face that had been sl
