“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
This strong jolt brought Charlotte back to her senses. She instinctively pushed Zachary back. “Zachary, no! Don’t…”“Mmph!”His hot lips sealed her lips in a firm kiss.Suddenly, her heart raced against her chest.The temperature in the car rose, as if it had turned into a lover’s nest.…“What are you doing?”A rich, magnetic male voice suddenly rang out.Charlotte immediately regained her senses, as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over her head. She pushed Zachary’s head off her chest with strength she never knew she had.“Zachary! Someone’s here!”Zachary turned around and looked at the man outside the car. At that moment, the fiery passion in his icy pupils slowly disappeared and turned into a chilly gaze. “Don’t you know that every moment of a lovers’ tryst is precious? Why are you interrupting me now of all times?”Jebediah had propped his right hand against the car door. His incomparably handsome face looked slightly embarrassed. His eyes then turned col
“It’s about the son you had with Charlotte, Poopoo.”The tips of Charlotte’s fingers trembled.‘Poopoo!’Even though Lorraine had strangled him more than four years ago, she had remembered his face very clearly, a face that was a miniature version of Zachary’s, ever since she had regained her memories. Every time she remembered him, her heart would feel as if it were cut open and the agony of it all would suffocate her…Zachary was about to speak when Charlotte chimed in icily, “You have no right to mention Poopoo. If you hadn’t helped Lorraine that year, she wouldn’t have been able to hide the fact that Poopoo was our son over and over again and wouldn’t have strangled Poopoo to death!”“I know. I know that you and Zachary must hate me and Lory over this matter, which is also why I’ve come to see you today…”Feeling restless, Jebediah tapped his fingers on the car window over and over again.“Poopoo is still alive.”Zachary, who had been helping Charlotte straighten out her cl
All Zachary gave Jebediah was a cold glare.“Are you quite finished?”Jebediah gasped from intimidation when he noticed the dangerous look in his eyes and his icy tone. “I’m done.”Zachary icily raised his dark, shapely brows, “Okay, you can leave then.”Jebediah’s throat quivered. However, he didn’t say anything else. Instead, he gave Zachary a hurtful glance and turned around hesitantly.He and Lorraine once used to be two of the most important people in Zachary’s life.Once upon a time, Zachary would sacrifice himself for him and Lorraine.Now, he and Lorraine had made every effort to turn their positions in Zachary’s heart to ashes. They had even lost the right to look at Zachary…Charlotte dialed the number on the card on her phone.She had just entered four numbers when the name “Julian’s Mom” appeared in her contact details…She took a closer look for comparison and realized that the number on the card given to her by Jebediah was truly the phone number of Julian’s mom
Charlotte watched in silence as he was talking over the phone.Zachary, who looked as regal as royalty, had become accustomed to hiding his true emotions. However, Charlotte could still sense the solemnity that his eyebrows currently exuded.She knew that Zachary wanted to see their son as much as she did.Zachary had the same feeling as her too. While he was ecstatic, he was also worried an accident might have happened…‘He should feel as heavy deep down as I am!’However, he had been by her side without letting his emotions loose, comforting her when she lost her composure and acted irrationally.Zachary hung up the phone and got out of the car. He then got into the driver’s seat and rushed to the airport.A gorgeous woman in a blue uniform greeted him as soon as she saw his car arriving. She opened the door for him and whispered softly, “Mr. Connor, we’ve prepared a private plane for you. We can take off at any time.”Zachary did not even take a glance at the woman but only
Zachary did not know how to comfort Charlotte, so he could only sit next to her and embrace her in his arms.Looking back, he was the one who had thought that Charlotte was insane when she told him the truth in person after she learned that Poopoo was their son.The reason he thought so was not that he did not believe Charlotte but because he had a lot of trust in Jebediah and Lorraine. It had never crossed his mind that the ones who he once regarded as two of the most important people in his life would join hands to deceive him!However, he would never let something like that happen between him and Charlotte once again.Jebediah Valentine!Lorraine Larson!They were dead in his heart.He would only trust Charlotte from now on, never doubting her again whenever she bad-mouthed anyone, no matter how unbelievable Charlotte’s words may seem.Zachary’s private plane arrived in Bay City in just over half an hour.No. 1206, Unit 7, Flat 27, Pretty Scenes Residence—this was the addre
“People who are familiar with Lillian and David know that they can’t have kids, but they suddenly had a son four years ago. So everyone knows for the fact that they’ve adopted that child.”“Julian, he’s smart and cute, so everyone who has met that child loves him. We often discuss in private just how cruel his biological parents were. How could they be willing to abandon such a beloved son? So it turns out that you were separated!““About this…” Charlotte became anxious as she did not expect the woman to talk so much. “Yes, madam, we really want to see our son now, so can you please help us contact them?”The woman shook her head. “I can’t help you to get in touch with them anymore. You guys are too late!”‘What!?’A high-pitched note echoed in Charlotte’s mind. “Madam, what do you mean by that? What do you mean by… We’re too late!”“That’s just how it is. Lillian, David, and Julian suddenly disappeared three days ago.” The woman shook her head. “The whole situation just sounds u
At that moment, even Charlotte, who was feeling depressed, was deeply shocked by Zachary’s cold gaze.She asked in surprise, “What are you going to do to Lorraine?”Zachary looked in the southern sky from afar.To the south, that was where Rothesay was located.“Let’s go back to Rothesay and find her.”Zachary called Lucas immediately afterward.Zachary had always been as cold as an iceberg. However, even if he had been ruthless toward others, he always acted much gentler than usual when he was with Charlotte.But now, even Charlotte could clearly sense his indifference, which made her understand that he must be in as much agony as she was.She also knew that Zachary was a person who always liked to carry all his emotions and digest them silently by himself. Thus, she did not bother him anymore and tried not to talk to him on the way back to Rothesay.Soon, the plane got back to Rothesay.Lucas, who was already waiting at the airport, greeted Zachary in a hurry and said to hi
