Despite her fear of Zachary, Charlotte visited him at the hospital every day.At the same time, due to her fear, she would keep Zachary company in the room for no longer than five minutes and then hastily leave.Zachary seemed just as cold and indifferent whenever she was around him. However, for some strange reason, he would feel as if something was missing every time she left, as if there was an emptiness deep inside him.A week passed in the blink of an eye.Charlotte arrived at Blue Water Bay to see her son.Zenios stopped Lucas at the doorway when he arrived.“We’re spending time as a family. Outsiders should remain outside.”Lucas raised his brow. “Pfft! Don’t think I don’t know what you’re plotting, Zenios. If you’re sending me away, who knows what you’re planning to do with Mrs. Connor. I’m not just here to see her off. Second Master has asked me to keep an eye on you…”Bam! Zenios shut the door on Lucas’s face before he could continue.“You’ve crossed a line, Zenios
‘The Second Master’s jealousy symptoms have already grown severe! If he finds out about this…’Lucas did not want to upset Zachary, but he had to tell him—he had sworn to do his duty.Thus, the heartbroken Lucas pulled out his phone with tears in his eyes and began recording the entire event.Zenios’s pants were made from flammable material. Charlotte’s consistent patting may have somehow controlled the flames, but she could not extinguish them. Alas, they continued to spread.There was a cup of water on the coffee table, but she could not use water at this point.In the past, when Charlotte and Bryson used to go on bike rides for fun, they would play with fire in the wilderness. Based on her experiences, the flames on Zenios’s pants might be small, but they would spread rapidly if she slacked even for just a moment, and his entire body would go up in flames.Hence, she had no choice but to press on and pat the flames away.Lucas was beginning to regret not stuffing his earphone
Blue Water Bay.Charlotte had exhausted herself in order to extinguish the flames on Zenios’s pants and was currently sitting on the couch, resting. Zenios, whose entire thigh was filthy from the ashes, had gone to take a bath.Boom!She heard a loud noise come from outside. Then, Charlotte heard the butler snapping irritably. “Who do you think you are? What kind of person destroys someone’s door like that? Let me tell you that you’re damaging personal property, you… Ah! I’m so sorry… It’s you, Mr. Connor.”The butler immediately spoke with absolute reverence when he saw Zachary’s cold and lofty face.“How can I help you, Mr. Connor?”“Where is my wife?” Zachary’s voice was as cold as a sharp knife.The butler lowered his head in fright and pointed his trembling finger toward the nursery in the southeast corner.Charlotte had heard Zachary’s voice and begun to wonder if it was just her imagination when the nursery room door was kicked open. As expected, Zachary stormed in.“
Charlotte heard a buzzing noise in her mind as soon as she saw Zachary remove his belt. She panicked. “Zachary, please explain yourself. What do you want?”“Aren’t you an expert at removing men’s belts? Are you telling me that you don’t understand?” The man’s eyes were as cold as ice. His tone was scornful and sullen.Charlotte was in a daze.The image of Victor whipping her with a belt burst into her mind…“Are you… going to hit me?”“Heh…” Zachary’s eyes flashed with increasing disdain and iciness.‘Charlotte Simmons! It’s come to this point, and she’s still pretending!’“Are you really going to hit me?”Charlotte confirmed her own suspicions when Zachary simply sneered in silence. She was both scared and in disbelief.“What’s going on, Zachary? What have I done wrong? Why are you doing this to me?”Zachary pushed her onto the couch as she spoke.“Zachary, let’s talk about this. What have I done to offend you? I— Ah!”‘Wait! He’s not taking out his belt to hit me… Then… W
Zachary was putting on his clothes coldly, and the mist in his eyes still had not dissipated.The image of her pleasing Zenios was still piercing his heart like a poisonous thorn.He thought of the intimate moment that had taken place between them just now. Charlotte had been crying aggrievedly throughout the whole process compared to the passion she showcased when she had taken the initiative to please Zenios...The thorn in his heart went deeper.“Carlie, I’m back... Second Uncle...” Zenios, who had just put on clean clothes and exited the bathroom, was first stunned when he saw the scene in front of him. Everything then started to make sense, and he understood what happened all of a sudden, “Second Uncle, are you even human? You actually did such a shameless thing!”Zenios completely lost his mind and roared while rushing to Zachary with a stern face.Before he got close to Zachary, Zachary’s fist had already hit his cheek firmly.“Argh!”Zenios collapsed on the floor first
Zachary picked Charlotte up and walked toward the door without looking back.Ever since Lorraine had betrayed him, the only people he really cared about were his mother, Miranda, and Zenios.Now, there was one less person worthy of his care!The shock of being picked up by Zachary made Charlotte recover from the trance. She opened her eyes and saw Zenios lying on the ground with blood-stained lips at first glance.“Zenios, what happened to you?”Glancing at Charlotte’s caring gaze, Zenios wiped the blood from his mouth and raised his eyebrows in disdain. “It’s nothing. I just got punched by someone who has nothing to do with me from now on.”‘Okay! Second Uncle, since you’re so determined to break ties with me, then I’ll not cling to you stubbornly. Without the fetters of family affection, I’ll be even more unscrupulous when I snatch Carlie in the future!”Looking at the alienation that had never appeared before in Zenios’s gaze when he glanced at Zachary, Charlotte suddenly und
“It seems that the lessons that I’ve taught you aren’t enough to make you remember.” Zachary’s voice was as cold as a glacier.Charlotte wanted to respond to him with irony, however, Zachary’s hands suddenly grasped her waist at this moment.An ominous feeling spread all over Charlotte’s body instantly like a cold current. “What are you doing!?”“Making sure that you remember.”Charlotte, who knew what Zachary was going to do, paled from the fright. “No! Zachary, I don’t want it anymore, don’t do this to me again—”“Luke, come and save me—”...Lucas did not get into the car until the car stopped.Zachary’s face looked just normal, while Charlotte was so exhausted that she had already passed out. Zachary let her lie on the car seat comfortably, using his right thigh as a pillow. Lucas could not help but sigh emotionally at the sight. “Second Master, since you’ve already made a decision anyway, why bother to make such a move?”“What do you mean by I’ve made a decision?” Zachary
Zachary stopped immediately at this moment. However, upon thinking that he had come to apologize to her, he took another step.“Did you not hear me? Why did you come here? What the hell are you doing...”Seeing that not only did Zachary continue to approach her, but even sat on her bed, she screamed and curled herself up in the corner, thinking that Zachary might assault her like a beast again, and her body kept trembling.A trace of guilt flashed across Zachary’s eyes. “Does it still hurt?” He could not help but reach out his hand to hold her face.She pushed his hand away in resistance. “Don’t touch me!”Zachary felt distressed.Charlotte had tears in her eyes, and she glared at his eyes as if she was staring at a ferocious and evil being. “Zachary Connor, even if you’re as heartless as the rumors say you are, I think you won’t want to abuse your wife to death, right? So, don’t touch me again, okay?”Zachary’s eyebrows were slightly creased, and the ache that he felt deep down
