Charlotte drove her car into the courtyard.Once she and Naomi exited the vehicle, Mr. Gold happily exclaimed, “Miss, over the past four years, I’ve always thought that I’d never hold on long enough for your return, even if I waited in this villa for the rest of my life. I never imagined finding out about your survival via Internet news today. This seaside villa has a mistress again.”“Mm.”Charlotte, who stood in front of her car, stared absent-mindedly at the villa. At that moment, it felt as if time had turned backward. Unforgettable memories from her past seemed to flash across her mind’s eye like a high-definition movie…Back then, she had been deeply in love with Bryson.Her father may have objected to her relationship with him, but she insisted on accepting his proposal and decided to marry him.This villa was the newlywed home that Bryson had bought for her on the eve of their wedding.She had been living there from the day she married Bryson to the day she gave birth to
‘Yes! I’d love to have my old looks back.’However, four years ago, she had lost her entire face due to that accident. Ever since the doctor had shaped her face into Sotiria’s features more than four years ago, this face had been hers. Was it possible for her to retrieve her old looks?As expected, even the living room was the same as when Charlotte had left it. It looked as if no one had been there at all.The sky was getting dark.Naomi was just like Charlotte. She had difficulty falling asleep at night whenever she arrived at a new place. Thus, that night, Charlotte slept in the same room as Naomi and shared the same bed with her.Normally, Naomi would sleep before 9 p.m. Tonight, she only fell asleep in Charlotte’s arms at 10 p.m. However, Charlotte had difficulty falling asleep.Thus, she took out her phone to fiddle with it.She saw her picture as soon as she tapped on the web browsing app… Or rather, Sotiria’s picture!As it turned out, ever since The First Sorceress Pri
“Mm?” Charlotte was stunned. “Where to?”“You’ll find out once you’re there,” Zachary replied, looking as handsome as a god.‘Is that even an answer?’Charlotte was overflowing with curiosity, as she still had plenty of questions. Zachary had released her hand and walked out of the door.“If you miss your chance, you’ll regret it for the rest of your life.”Charlotte raised her brow.‘Fine!’She knew that Zachary would never fool her. Since he had paid her a visit early in the morning and said something like that, whatever happened next would be very important to her.Thus, she moved her feet and followed him.Zachary’s international limited-edition Rolls-Royce was parked in the courtyard. Zachary opened the car door and sat in the backseat.“Get in.”“Oh.”Charlotte only realized that Lucas was sitting in the driver’s seat when she got in the vehicle.“Long time no see, milady. Miss me?”Charlotte chuckled. “Yes, of course.”Lucas beamed. “I missed you too, milady. I’
Usually, a large group would crowd around to take pictures with Charlotte and ask for her autograph. However, Zachary, who was on her left, carried himself with such coldness and iciness that no one dared take a step forward.Snap!A female student took a picture of Charlotte and Zachary standing together and happily exclaimed, “Ha ha! I’m gonna be rich! Miss Allegra is now the hottest star, and I’ve taken a picture of her with her boyfriend. I’ll sell this picture to the press. I’m sure I’ll get a lot of money for this.”“Pfft! I don’t think this is going to be a windfall. Who knows, you might get unlucky!” A man grinned.The girl was so angry that she blushed furiously.“What are you talking about? You’re the one who’ll get unlucky!”The man sneered. “Use your brain, girl. Look, there are so many people here. Who else except you had the nerve to take pictures?”The girl blinked. “It’s true! Miss Allegra is with a mysterious handsome man. This is explosive news! Why isn’t anyon
“That’s right!” Lisa-Luna stared at Charlotte intently. “You’re really lucky, Miss Simmons.”Charlotte was a little taken aback. “Huh? Why would you say that?”Lisa-Luna chuckled. “I’ve known Mr. Connor for many years, and you’re the first woman who’s ever been able to motivate him to go through such trouble.”Charlotte wanted to ask Lisa-Luna how she had spurred Zachary into going through such trouble, but Lisa-Luna got a look from Zachary and began worrying that she had leaked a secret, so she grabbed her hand and said, “Miss Simmons, I’m sure you’ve heard of an announcement I made once that I’d never leave my country. I’ve broken an important vow just for you. It wasn’t easy for me to come to your country, so let’s not waste any time. Let’s start your consultation.”“Oh…”Charlotte and Lisa-Luna walked into the office together.In the next half hour and a bit more, Lisa-Luna gave Charlotte a thorough check-up, then heaved a sigh of relief and said, “I’m absolutely confident
Three years ago, she had set the world on fire. Once she had her looks restored, she would publicly announce her return! She wanted to set the world on fire again!“Mr. Connor, please hang on a minute. I need to speak with you.” A stranger’s voice rang out behind Charlotte.Charlotte turned around and saw a middle-aged doctor in a white lab coat and thick spectacles hurriedly walking toward her.The doctor bowed before Charlotte upon noticing her stare and smiled in adoration. “Miss Simmons, I heard from Doctor Lisa-Luna that your looks can be easily restored. Congratulations.”Charlotte chuckled.“Thank you.”Meanwhile, Zachary was standing on Charlotte’s right. The doctor approached him and spoke to him in a respectful tone. “Mr. Connor, the medical project that you asked me to pay specific attention to has experienced some new developments. Last week, the doctors from Country D used their newly developed drug to restore the health of three patients.”‘I see!’ Charlotte though
Charlotte felt as if a hole had been carved into her heart. An endless stream of emotions poured out of the hole as though it was a broken dam.‘Zachary! I knew it! He really does love me! He was under the false impression that I was dead, yet he bought the seaside villa on the Platinum Coast for me and he’s been keeping an eye on the people I cared about and taking care of them…’“I understand…” Charlotte calmed herself. “But you said that the drug is still experimental and may not be suitable for Arisian bodies. Wouldn’t using Nicky as a test subject be risky?”The doctor nodded.“Generally speaking, any form of medication comes with its own side effects. Based on my estimations, the possibility of Nicholas awakening from this medication is around 60%. If this medicine fails to wake him up, I’m not sure what kind of side effects he’ll experience.”“The possibility of the medicine having an effect is only around 60%...” Charlotte gasped. “Heavens! Isn’t that akin to using Nicky a
“He sent me a message on WhatsApp more than ten minutes ago, asking for the day off to go shopping with his girlfriend. I approved his leave.”“I see. Then we shouldn’t disturb him. Let him enjoy his shopping trip with his girlfriend. I’ll drive.”She moved to close the car door and get in the driver’s seat once she said her piece.However, Zachary’s right arm suddenly wrapped itself around her body and pulled her into the car.“Argh!”Charlotte landed firmly on top of Zachary’s body with a scream. Her lips happened to land precisely on top of Zachary’s rose-petal-shaped lips, kissing him firmly on the mouth.Charlotte panicked. She hurriedly removed her lips from his. Her blushing face was suspended a few centimeters above his, staring at him nervously.“Zachary, what… are you doing?”“Give it to me.”Zachary, who was as cold as an ice mountain, released a breath that was as hot as flames from his lips, letting it brush freely against her sensitive face.The corners of her l
