“Yes, Mr. Connor hasn’t left the house since he came home last night.”“In that case, that’s all I need from you.” Charlotte raised her eyebrows triumphantly. “Just you watch. I’ll get Zachary to come down here and welcome me through this gate personally.”The security guard chuckled, looking embarrassed.He would have laughed out loud as if he had just heard the joke of his life if somebody else had been confident enough to say this to him.However, he believed Charlotte when she said this!Everyone that worked in the Divine Sanctuary District knew how things worked between Mr. Connor and Charlotte!Mr. Connor might be a regal, indifferent devil in disguise when he was in public, but he became a toothless tiger when it came to Charlotte.He might look extremely ruthless and glacial, but he would never defy Charlotte when she asked him to do something and he would never reject her when she requested a favor...Charlotte took her cell phone out of her pocket and called Zachary.
Creak! The door opened.When she saw Zachary step out of the car, Charlotte’s clear eyes lit up. “Hmph! You’re finally here! The security guard won’t let me in without seeing you, and he won’t open the gate either. Now, get him to open the gate.”After saying this, Charlotte turned around and walked back to her car, which was parked outside the gate.“Why should I ask the security guard to open the gate?” Zachary’s melodious voice came from behind her abruptly.“To let me and Naomi in, of course...” Charlotte, who stopped stepping forward, pointed to her car and then to the narrow opening of the gate, which could only allow one person to go through.“I brought Naomi here to see Poopoo today. I know that even though you won’t allow me to see Poopoo, you’d never be cruel enough to prevent Naomi from seeing him. If you’ve come to welcome us in at the gate, it means that you’ve already made up your mind to allow Naomi to see Poopoo, haven’t you?”Zachary, who looked as regal as a kin
Naomi immediately yelled out crisply, “Daddy!”Zachary, who had always been as cold as a glacier, was so excited that his Adam’s apple rolled and his fingers trembled. If one were to stand right in front of him and take a closer look at him at that moment, one would discover that the surges of emotions in his indifferent, charming eyes were as huge as waves during a tsunami.At least three seconds later, Zachary tried his best to respond calmly. “Good.”He then said immediately, “Now come with me.”“Oh, oh, okay.” Naomi immediately ran over to Zachary happily and held Zachary’s big hand with her tiny hand. “Daddy, where are you taking me? Are you taking me to see Poopoo?”“Yeah.” Zachary grabbed Naomi’s little hand. However, he was afraid that he might hurt her because of his enormous strength, so he only grabbed it lightly.“Why isn’t mommy coming with us?” Naomi asked.Zachary turned around and glanced at Charlotte. “I have an agreement with mommy. She can come with us when sh
“I thought about it calmly after that incident. You agreed to let Lindsay violate my chastity that day just to make sure our son was safe.” Zachary’s clear, melodious voice sounded like musical notes.“Yes!” Charlotte’s eyes lit up. “Zachary, you’re so smart that you actually figured it out by yourself. Then you shouldn’t blame me anymore or prohibit me from entering your house, right?”“No.” Zachary shook his head indifferently.Charlotte’s eyebrows twitched again.Zachary opened his extremely charming lips. “The purpose of me telling you this is to clarify to you that the only reason I don’t allow you into this house is that you haven’t married me. It has nothing to do with anything else.”‘About this...’Charlotte’s lips trembled like a sieve.However, Zachary had already gotten into the car, restarted the engine, and left decisively.Almost at the same time that Zachary drove away, the security guard pressed the “close” button and the heavy steel door closed tightly.Charl
However, even though she hadn’t heard her voice in years, hearing it again still felt warm and kindly…Then, Miranda helped the woman who had just spoken out of the car.The woman stared at Charlotte’s face, looking taken aback. Then, she said, “Carlie, I heard from Miranda that you don’t look the same anymore, and it’s true. Look at you. I wouldn’t have recognized you if I had seen you on the street.”Charlotte stared at the rich woman absent-mindedly.‘Annalita!’Her ex-mother-in-law.She was closer to her than her own mother!She felt a warm sensation on her skin—Annalita was already in front of her and was holding her hands.“I heard about what happened between you and Zachary from Mimi. Sigh! The past four years have been difficult for you and Zach! But it’s alright! Even though you and Zach have gone through a lot, you’re still alive. That’s better than anything else… Carlie, when I found out that you’re still alive and have given me a grandson and granddaughter, I was so
Naomi woke Charlotte up in the morning. Previously, she had thought that she would be allowed to see Poopoo if she brought Naomi along, so she had been in high spirits. Now, knowing that it would be impossible for her to meet Poopoo today, she grew so tired that she dozed off… She had decided to go back to the car to take a nap while waiting for Naomi to come back.Charlotte, who lay in the car, soon fell fast asleep.“Milady!”“Milady…”Thud!A loud banging noise startled Charlotte and woke her up from her nap.She opened her eyes and immediately saw Lucas’s face pressed up against the car window…Even though Lucas’s features looked out of place due to being squashed against the glass, he still looked outstanding because he was good-looking in the first place.She rubbed her heavy eyelids and lazily rolled the car window down.“What’s with the racket, Luke? Can’t you see that I’m sleeping?”“Hah! That’s just like you, milady! You’re really bold. The Second Master has already
Charlotte nodded. “But you haven’t told me the password to this debit card.”Lucas fiddled with his large earring out of habit.“Oh… I’m such a scatterbrain. I almost forgot that important detail. The Second Master said that the password is the date of your marriage registration five years ago.”Charlotte’s heart was filled with a wave of emotion.As it turned out, it had been more than five years since the day she and Zachary had met.However, why did it feel as if everything had only just happened yesterday?Why, to this day, did she feel such a huge wave of emotion every time she saw Zachary, just like the first time they had met?“Look at them.”Lucas’s voice rang out again.Charlotte turned in the direction of Lucas’s finger…Apparently, the security guard had left the gate momentarily open for Lucas to go back inside, as he had opened the gate when Lucas had walked out.Charlotte looked at the open gap in the gate and saw Naomi, Poopoo, Zachary, Annalita, and Miranda
Charlotte arrived at the hospital.She remembered that Zachary had brought her to an office on the second floor not too long ago to meet Lisa-Luna. This time, she went straight to the second floor and made her way to that office.The door was closed. Charlotte knocked for a very long time, but no one answered.Just as she was about to give up, a gentle voice rang out in the hallway.“Miss Simmons, is something important going on? Is that why you’ve come to visit me? Why didn’t you call me to set up a meeting? What if I were not at the hospital? Wouldn’t you have wasted a trip here?”Charlotte turned toward the voice. It was Lisa-Luna.She smiled.“I know you’re a busy woman. I considered calling you beforehand, but I forgot to ask for your phone number the last time we met, so I thought I’d try my luck.”“You could have asked Mr. Connor for my number!”Lisa-Luna strode forward and patted Charlotte gently on the back.“Okay! We may have encountered an obstacle during our meeti
