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
The next day, Charlotte got up as soon as the alarm clock went off as usual.She walked out of the bedroom and came to the living room, just to find out that those roses were still in the living room.Although it had been a whole night and the petals were not as delicate as the night before, the flowers were still fragrant and beautiful.Looking at these flowers, Charlotte could not help but think of Zachary.Thus, she subconsciously looked towards the French window, but Zachary, who was used to practicing his reading routine in front of the French window, was not there at the moment.“Are you looking for Zachary?” Garrison’s melodious voice sounded at that moment.She found out that Garrison was sitting on the sofa, and she put on a smile immediately. “Hehe, yes! Didn’t he move to our house that day? Why is he not here today?”Garrison smiled gently. “He left after you and Naomi went back to the bedroom last night. I think he probably has some things to attend to.”Charlotte n
After saying so, Charlotte rubbed Naomi’s little head. “Naomi, let’s go.”“Carlie!” The agitated Garrison suddenly strode in front of Charlotte, blocked her way, and hugged her tightly. “I know that you’re a good woman, and I also know that the person you love is Zachary. By now, I don’t expect to have you for myself. I’m just asking you to have pity on me and share your love for Zachary with me. Is that okay for you?”Charlotte’s mind turned blank, and as a result, she forgot to push Garrison away for a short while.Garrison hugged her tightly. His thin lips were pressed against her ears—the scorching warmth seemed to have melted her away. “You can never imagine just how deep my love for you is. I’ve had insomnia every night since the day you regained your memory. I think about what I should and would do after I lose you every night. And the more I think about it, the more scared I get. Because after I’ve gotten so used to living my life with you in it throughout the four years, I’
Charlotte called Marco immediately after sending Naomi to the kindergarten.The second Charlotte answered the phone, Marco’s voice sounded in Charlotte’s ears.“Tiria, I was just looking for you for something, but you’ve always liked to sleep in. I was afraid of waking you up, so I decided to call you after 10:00 a.m. I didn’t expect you to wake up so early today.”‘Okay!’Charlotte admitted that she did have the habit of sleeping in. Even her alarm clock could not wake her up sometimes, and the ray of the sun would be strong enough to shine into her room through the window when she woke up naturally.She smiled. “Marc, tell me first, why are you calling me?”Marco, who was on the other end of the phone call, patted the urn on the table. “Don’t you know what happened? Virginia was executed yesterday.”At that moment, Charlotte seemed to be able to imagine Virginia’s bloated face in front of her eyes.‘Virginia, that vicious woman was executed so quickly. It’s what she deserved.
