Charlotte panicked.“I don’t think it’s appropriate to discuss this now.”“Why is it inappropriate?” regal, perfect Zachary asked.“Well… Sigh!” Charlotte glanced at the employees who were eyeing her in a peculiar manner. She blushed from embarrassment. “I thought we discussed this? This time, I want to openly make those who’ve slandered me look at me in a new light. We can’t talk about getting married until I’ve announced my real identity!”Once she said that, she added, “Besides, I might not marry you again even after I’ve announced my real identity.”“What?”Zachary’s chiseled face immediately turned very dark.“Marrying you again has been my end game ever since I discovered your real identity, and now you’re suddenly telling me that you might not marry me at all?”Charlotte hung her head at the sight of his icy glare. Then, she tried her best to act naturally as she chuckled. “That’s right! Even though I mentioned that if you wanted me to marry you again, I must do it openl
Lucas saw the increasing decline of the look on Zachary’s face and quickly laughed. “He he… Of course, you’re perfect, sir. However, your perfection doesn’t mean that you’re perfect in every woman’s eyes. Maybe an icy, indifferent man like you isn’t really Mrs. Connor’s type… Sigh! That year, Mrs. Connor was forced to marry you when her family was in trouble to save her father. At the time, you were the only one who could save her, so she didn’t have a choice. Now, she doesn’t need you to save her, and a lot of good men are in love with her. Why must she marry you?”Zachary immediately stopped.The most regal, powerful man in Rothesay suddenly felt as if a sharp knife had been driven through his heart. He was in so much pain that even his thin, addictive lips were trembling.“Don’t keel over just yet, sir. Maybe it’s not that you’re not charming enough. There’s another possibility.”Lucas hurriedly consoled Zachary at the sight of the pain on his face.“The other possibility is th
The four people walked past Zachary, carrying Lorraine, who had tears all over her face.However, all Zachary was thinking about in his head at the moment was Charlotte. He did not even glance at Lorraine from beginning to end.At that moment, the door of the white Lamborghini opened, and the tall, handsome Jebediah strode over to Lorraine. “Put her down.”The four men refused to put Lorraine down, and one of them responded, “Sorry, Mr. Valentine. Mr. Connor ordered us to bring Ms. Larson here, so we must take her back directly. We’re not going to put her down without Mr. Connor’s permission.”Jebediah’s eyes looked as cold as the eyes of Hades. “I’m the person who loves Lory the most in this world. Compared to you four, wouldn’t it be safer for her if I brought her back?”The four men looked at each other. They did not dare offend Jebediah, so one of them could only look at Zachary awkwardly. “Mr. Connor, did you hear what Mr. Valentine said? What should we do? Please give us an
Jebediah’s expression had remained unchanged while Lorraine had slapped him twice. However, the pity in his eyes overflowed his eye sockets the moment Lorraine slapped herself. “Lory! What are you doing?”Lorraine stared at him coldly. Irony was the only emotion that could be seen in her teary eyes. “I slapped myself because I was blind, Jebediah Valentine! I bet everything I had on you, thinking that you were the only person in this world who wouldn’t betray me. I never thought that I would actually go down in your hands in the end. The person who helped Charlotte defeat me wasn’t someone else. It was you!”As he looked at her flushed cheeks, a hint of agony flashed across Jebediah’s eyes. “Lory, I‘ve told you before that I’m the person who loves you the most in this world, and everything I do, I do it for you...”“Shut up!” Lorraine interrupted him agitatedly, her voice sounding as sharp as a scream.“You’re the person who loves me the most in this world? Jebediah Valentine, don’
It turned out that the four walls of the huge living room were full of delicate roses.None of the lights in the room were turned on. Only six lit candles were on the table. The magenta candlelight illuminated everything in the room beautifully, making it look like a dream.While all that was going on, Zachary was sitting on the sofa, and Naomi was sitting quietly on his thighs, staring at Charlotte with her crystal-like eyes.After spending at least three seconds to calm herself down, Charlotte found her voice. “Zachary, Naomi, why did you decorate the house like this?”Naomi blinked her huge eyes. “The bad uncle said that all girls like this. He also said that if mommy were to like it, mommy would say yes to his marriage proposal.”‘What?’Charlotte was stunned, while Zachary, who had long legs and a large stride, had already placed Naomi on the sofa and approached Charlotte. “Carlie, marry me!”The corners of Charlotte’s lips twitched.Before she could speak, Zachary had alr
However, after thinking about it more carefully, Charlotte realized that Zachary had just turned a deaf ear to everything she had just said—‘I said that I’d fight for myself this time! I must find a suitable opportunity to disclose my identity and rectify my name on the premise of having to go to jail. Then I’ll think about the matter between me and Zachary!‘Wouldn't I become a laughing stock in front of everyone else if I became Zachary’s fiancée before I separated from Garrison?!’Zachary pointed to Naomi. “I discussed this matter with Naomi before you came home and she agreed to the idea of you marrying me.”‘Oh my God!’Charlotte could not help but stare at Naomi.‘My daughter is actually very arrogant deep down, and it‘s extremely difficult to coax her into anything, okay? Zachary has only been in contact with Naomi for a few days, yet he already bribed Naomi so thoroughly that she’d even sell her biological mother out?!’“Yeah...” The adorable, innocent baby stretched ou
“Hah! Looking at this scene! It looks so familiar!” Garrison’s cold eyes skimmed over the red roses on the wall and the candles on the table. “Zachary, do you think I haven’t read The Book of Love? Not only is the whole proposal you just made original lines found in The Book of Love, but the rose and candle setup is also taken directly from the ninth chapter of The Book of Love, which is the ‘proposal’ chapter!”Charlotte was embarrassed, and her face kept blushing and turning pale from time to time.‘It’s no wonder Zachary, who’s always been as cold as a glacier, would say such touching words... After that entire setup, it turns out that he was only reciting what was written in the book...’Charlotte did not see that Zachary’s hands had already clenched into fists at that moment. If it weren’t for Garrison and Charlotte’s extreme proximity and the fact that Zachary was worried that Charlotte would be injured by mistake, he would have punched Garrison in the face long ago.Zachary
The corners of Zachary’s perfectly curved lips gave off a mischievous lift. “You said it yourself. You’ve also read the “Book of Love”. Didn’t you read that book just to steal the routines to go after her?”Garrison was rendered speechless, and a trace of obvious embarrassment could be seen through his delicate and handsome face.Yes!In the past four years or so, he had already lost count on how many times he had asked Charlotte to marry him. However, he would always get more and more courageous after each failure, never giving up.In order to ensure that Charlotte got a feeling of novelty from each and every proposal that he came up with, he would never use the same idea every time he proposed to Charlotte. He had to admit that he had almost gone through all kinds of books related to love and learned all the methods and routines from them.At this time, Garrison realized that a shadow just swayed in front of him.It turned out that Zachary had already walked past him and went o
