“I’m aware of your sleepwalking habits, but why are you bringing that up all of a sudden? Don’t you change the subject. Look at me and answer my question, okay?”

“Sure.”

Zachary curled the corners of his lips. “I’m trying to explain that when I woke up today, that intuition told me that I was sleepwalking last night. Perhaps I did something incredulous to you while I was sleepwalking, but I don’t remember anything.”

Suddenly, Charlotte understood.

‘That would explain why Zachary was acting so out of character. He’d never kiss me that gently if he were awake!’

Apparently, patients with severe sleepwalking tendencies would sleepwalk the entire night whenever they slipped into their habit. They would seem no different from other people but would have completely no recollection of their sleepwalking activities when they awake. She had arrived home to find Zachary standing by the French windows, reading his book like a statue. Perhaps he had already been sleepwalking at the time…

    Zachary felt a tug on his heartstrings. “What’s wrong?”“That locket, what is it doing with you? Is it because of Zenios?” Charlotte was trembling. She stared at the locket with tears flowing freely down her face.Zachary’s seemingly icy pupils displayed a subtle hint of marvel. “What does Zenios have to do with this?”“Where did you get that locket? Did Zenios give it to you?”‘That must be it… Zenios must have snatched this locket after that night, eleven months ago. He must have given it to Zachary after that…’However, Zachary shook his head.“Not at all.”He was mildly sensitive to the subject. After all, he had still been with Lorraine when he slept with that girl. Thus, he had always considered that night his greatest shame and never told anyone about it.To his surprise, Charlotte was so concerned with that part of his past that Zachary’s cold, hard heart melted. He couldn’t bear to keep it from her.“Someone drugged me eleven months ago, and by some unexpected mishap,

    Then Charlotte finally understood…Zachary may be a cold-blooded devil, but his heart wasn’t always cold.It had the capacity for warmth too.“Then, what about your baby?”Zachary, who was a master of concealing emotions, actually felt his throat quiver. His voice was trembling.‘The girl whom I’ve been looking for… It’s Charlotte! I’m the man who had her!’The 23-year-old Zachary had never been so ecstatic in his life.Charlotte’s eyes were filled with tears. Her petal-like lips trembled continuously.“He’s our baby!”“Are you sure?”Zachary remembered that Charlotte and Bryson had been dating for a very long time. That baby’s father could be Bryson too. The thought of that turned Zachary’s gaze into ice once again.“I’m sure! I’m sure!” Charlotte couldn’t seem to contain herself, and she had no idea why. For the first time ever, she had forgotten all manner of decorum in front of Zachary. She was chattering away like a kid, completely carried away.“I had never had sex

    Lucas turned around and said, “Second Master, my major discovery is that the girl you have been looking for is with us the entire time. She’s Mrs. Connor!”Zachary then replied expressionlessly, “Okay.”Lucas was so surprised that he clawed at his oversized earrings. He looked at Zachary and then at Charlotte.“Erm, Second Master, maybe you didn’t get what I’m saying. I’ve run a thorough check, and I can confirm that the girl who spent the night with you eleven month ago is—”“I got it,” Zachary interrupted Lucas flatly. “The focus of your concern right now is not me, nor Charlotte, but Tiffany Miller.”“Huh!?” Lucas opened his pair of clear eyes so wide it seemed as if they were about to fall out of their sockets. In the past, Zachary used to get jealous of Charlotte over a trifling thing. Therefore, Lucas expected him to be delighted when he revealed the joyful truth to him. However, not only did he not say anything and maintain as cool as a cucumber, but he also asked him t

    “What do you want?”Charlotte’s cheeks turned even redder as she met Zachary’s piercing gaze that could sap out one’s soul. Her brain dissolved into a mush, and she began to talk incoherently, “No… No… There’s nothing that I want… Ahem… Ahem…”Zachary parted his thin lips. Just when he was about to say something, Lucas chimed in, “Second Master, there’s no way a pretty, ladylike, and kind woman like Mrs. Connor would shed away her dignity and ask for money openly no matter how much she wants it. Am I right, milady?”Charlotte’s brain was a muddled mess. “What are you talking about…”Lucas squinted his eyes at Zachary. “Hehe, Second Master, did you see that? Mrs. Connor is too shy to ask!”Zachary nodded, “Okay!”Just when Charlotte was wondering what they were talking about, a bank card that gave off a golden radiance appeared in her vision. Zachary said as he held the card in his hand, “I applied for a new one after I tore up the last card. The password is still your birthday.

    Zenios first felt a cold, hard texture unlike Charlotte’s hands. Then, a second later, he realized the person standing in front of him was now Zachary.“Second… Uncle…” Panicked, he shook off Zachary’s hand as embarrassment and disappointment instantly flared in his demure blue eyes.“If you want to shake my hand, just let me know, Second Uncle. There’s no need for you to use such a roundabout way.”Zachary’s expression was dark, and his eyes were cold. “You should be thanking me for saving you. Otherwise, if you’d managed to touch your Second Aunt’s hand, the right side of your face would have been marked with the same fist mark as the left side of your face.”‘Alright then!’Zenios knew his Second Uncle really meant it. Zachary had warned him more than once not to touch Charlotte, and he knew his Second Uncle would not go easy on him if he ignored his warning.“Alright, thank you, Second Uncle!” Zenios said with a pout. “Anyway, what is the thing you wanted to tell me when

    “Carlie, although I have lied to you in this case, I swear to God, in the more than three years I have been with you, this is the only time I have lied to you. I promise this is the last time I lied to you. I will never betray your trust again in the future!”Charlotte did not know what she should say. She was angry and disappointed in Zenios, but at the same time, she felt sorry for him.Zenios gazed excitedly into Charlotte’s eyes. “But Carlie, no matter what happened, we were together that night, and I’m definitely the father of the baby you gave birth to. I’m still doing everything in my power to locate him, and I promise I will bring our son back.”Charlotte could not speak right now, as her eyes were full of tears.Zachary then chimed in, “Well, that’s what you should do as a brother.”Zenios snapped. “That’s enough, Second Uncle! I’m looking for my son, not my brother. How can you mix that up? The person who was with Carlie is…”“Zachary,” Charlotte said, her voice hoars

    Charlotte lifted her eyebrows and said, “Get up from the floor first, and I’ll tell you.”It was only then that Zenios took Charlotte’s hand and slowly got to his feet.A second later, he heard Charlotte say, “You’ll help me seduce Tiffany.”He was so shocked that his legs went limp and he nearly fell to the floor again. After the initial shock ebbed away, there was only disappointment left in his blue eyes, which resembled the sea.“Carlie, I understand that you don’t want me to wallow in sadness and you’re using this way to make me feel happy, but there’s no use. You will never understand how I’m feeling right now, and nothing in this world can alleviate the sadness in my heart.”“I’m not joking. I’m serious. Not long ago, I found out by chance that Tiffany found another man, had him pretend to be you, and… Sigh…”Charlotte’s face burned red from embarrassment when the intimate scene of Tiffany and fake Zenios appeared in her head.“Well, I will leave the rest to your imagin

Anyone can come and go whenever they want, including Zachary Connor, who’s eager to take your life.”“Argh!” Tiffany screamed.“Zachary… He’s blacklisted me. He’s gotten what he wanted. My debt with him has been paid. Why is he trying to kill me?”“Aren’t you good with schemes? When did you become so stupid? You’ve done so much to hurt Charlotte Simmons. Do you really think that Zachary would write off your debt?”The man’s eyes were as sharp as knives, emitting a dangerous, cold light in the darkness.Tiffany shivered.“Who are you? How do you know so much?”The man smirked. “Why, I’m your mysterious backer.”Tiffany gasped. “So it’s you! You… You’re finally willing to see me… Could you step into the light? I want to see your face.”“You’re not worthy.”The man’s grim voice sounded like he had risen from the depths of hell.“Remember, I’v

    As expected, a video had been sent to Charlotte’s inbox.Charlotte opened it and found a video of her recent sexual encounter with Zachary in the car. She screamed and blushed furiously.Before long, she received a message from Rufus.“This exciting clip of you with Zachary is your remuneration. I will keep it safe and save it for my future enjoyment. Our debt has been repaid. You’re welcome!”Charlotte’s expression stiffened.A few minutes later, she received another message.“I won’t let anyone see this. Don’t worry.”Charlotte questioned herself.She had no idea how Rufus had managed to get this video. He was in a different city. However, she let go of the question soon enough, as Rufus had already sent the information to her inbox.The next day, at a high-class hotel in Rothesay.A black Masserati was parked outside the hotel entrance. As two bodyguards escorted a pot-bellied, middle-aged man out of the hotel, the driver hurriedly opened the Masserati’s door and said in a

    “Lory…” A clear and melodious voice called out.A fair hand held her by the wrist as a car stopped nearby.“Zachary is openly making love to another woman in front of you. He’s obviously just trying to hurt you. You know this, so why are you still standing here, watching foolishly?”Lorraine shook her head feebly. It took her a while before she calmed down and replied shakily, “You’re wrong, Jez. Zachary isn’t doing it with her to hurt me. I’m nothing to him now. Carlie is the only thing that matters to him. He would never use tools to hurt me. He’s doing this because he’s so in love with Carlie that he’s lost control!”“Uh…” Jezebel turned awkwardly toward Charlotte’s car, shook her head, and said, “Lory, since you know you mean nothing to Zachary, why are you still torturing yourself? Forget him, and I’ll take you anywhere you like. Isn’t that much better?”“No!” Lorraine grimaced. Her eyes flashed hatefully.“It’s all Charlotte’s fault that Zach and I have ended up this way. I

    The corners of Charlotte’s lips twitched. “I don’t think that’s a good idea.”“Why?” Zachary kept his eyes on her.There was no doubt about it. Not only did his wife have an extremely exquisite face, but her figure was also graceful and well-proportioned, better than a supermodel’s.The subtle display of fair flesh underneath her skirt seemed to exude a seductive fragrance. Her waist, which was the width of an A4 size paper, was slender. He felt an urge to hold her in his arms. She crossed her slender and well-proportioned legs naturally, creating a dark silhouette…‘D*mn it!’Zachary realized that the longer his gaze lingered on Charlotte’s body, the brighter the flames of passion burned within him, even though he had always abstained.“Based on Rothesay tradition, a man and a woman can only be considered husband and wife after holding a proper wedding ceremony. I know we’ve registered, but people will talk if we live together without having a ceremony,” Charlotte replied calmly

    Charlotte remained sitting calmly in the car. She knew that this time, Zachary was determined to strangle Lorraine to death.Of course, she didn’t want Zachary to do it… But not because she didn’t want Lorraine to die. It was because Lorraine had Jezebel’s support. If Zachary killed her, Jezebel would do everything to avenge Lorraine.It wasn’t worth it for Zachary to plunge into mutual destruction with Lorraine. She didn’t deserve him.Charlotte knew very well that since Lorraine, who was a natural schemer, had the nerve to seek her out alone, it meant that she would have been prepared to run into Zachary and would ensure that Zachary would be too afraid to kill her.Thus, even though Zachary was strangling Lorraine, Charlotte did not exit the car to stop him.The car door opened and closed.Charlotte felt a bone-chilling aura throughout the entire car as soon as Zachary entered the co-driver’s seat.Zachary didn’t speak. Instead, he stared at her.Despite her intimate relatio

    “What have you done?” Zachary’s voice was as cold as a frosty wind.“I’ve hired a few assassins. The assassins and I have had an agreement. If anything happens to me, they will do everything in their power to kill Charlotte and her two kids!”Charlotte’s entire body went cold as soon as she heard this.“Hehehe… Sorry, Zach, I misspoke. I shouldn’t have said ‘her two kids’. They’re yours and Charlotte’s kids, aren’t they?”Lorraine supported herself as she rose to her feet.In the past, no matter what happened, she would always do her best to maintain a good impression in front of Zachary, to show him the best parts of her.Now, she knew that his impression of her was gone with the wind. She cackled freely like a maniac. “Hahahaha… Look at that nervous look on your face, Zach. You’ve always been fearless, but she’s the only one who’s ever been able to make you lose your sh*t, isn’t she?”Zachary eyed Lorraine icily, his gaze as sharp as cold knives. Lorraine, whose heart was no

    Lorraine forgot about the pain due to the intense panic she felt and stared at Zachary in disbelief. “Zachary, what do you mean by these scary remarks? I’m pregnant, yet you kicked me, disregarding mine and the child’s well-being. Could you be... Are you thinking of... Are you thinking of killing me?”“A wicked woman like you deserves more than just death.” Zachary’s cold voice slapped Lorraine in the face.Lorraine’s lips trembled, but she could not utter another word, as if her throat was being severely strangled by an invisible hand.Cough! A large mouthful of blood was spat out of her mouth, dyeing her white dress red.Although she did not feel pain or fear, her heart was glacial.She also knew that she deserved more than just death!‘But... wicked woman?‘I didn’t expect to be labeled as a “wicked woman” in Zachary’s heart someday!’As he was glaring at this pitiful woman, there was not even a hint of sympathy in Zachary’s eyes, and his voice still sounded frigid and merci

    Lucas called not long after Charlotte put down her cell phone. “Milady, I just received a call from my ex-girlfriend, who I dumped last month, and she said that she just found out that she’s pregnant and she suspects that the baby might be my child... Ahem!“Therefore, I have to go to the hospital to get a paternity test with her as soon as possible. I don’t have time to drive Naomi back to your house, so you can either pick her up yourself or just let Naomi stay at the Second Master’s house.”Charlotte decided to pick Naomi up.As soon as she drove out of the yard gate, a crimson Ferrari dashed toward her head-on. She immediately turned the steering wheel sharply, avoiding a direct clash with the car.Braking harshly, the Ferrari hit the tree and killed its engine.Charlotte also stepped on the brake.The Ferrari’s door was pushed open abruptly, and Lorraine walked in front of Charlotte’s car angrily. She then pointed at Charlotte with her trembling right hand. “Charlotte Simmon

Ow—” The man’s voice was interrupted by a series of his own cries, and a woman’s moans were coming from the background at the same time.Charlotte vaguely pictured a rather explicit scene, blushed, and cleared her throat. “Um... I can call you later if it’s inconvenient for you to speak now.”“There’s no need. It’s convenient. Very convenient... Good girls, wait for me on the bed. I’ll get angry otherwise, understand?”“Hmph, are we less significant than your phone calls? Hmph!”“Don’t keep us waiting!”The sound of footsteps faded away.The man squinted his rare violet eyes and said languidly, “My little Simmons Princess, I’ve long heard people say that you’re still alive, and I really want to take a look at you with my own eyes, but I’ve sworn to never take another step into Rothesay.

    Zachary looked at Charlotte through the window as a surge of pride swelled inside of him. “She’s my wife right now, so she’s your niece-in-law. You shouldn’t call her ‘that woman’ anymore.”The corner of the man’s lips curled up a little when he heard what Zachary had said. However, he soon reverted to his serious expression and continued. “Zach, even if she’s your wife now, I have to warn you. You have to think twice before you act. My great-grandfather, who’s also your great-grandfather, was framed and died in prison for offending someone from the royal family. Your great-great-grandmother wrote a letter with her own blood and came up with a family rule. The Connors are only allowed to do business. They are not allowed to deal with people from the government. Do you really want to break the family rule for her?”“Yes,” Zachary replied, his deep brown eyes filled with murderous intent. “I owe her a wedding, and I don’t want them to interfere with my wedding.”The man opened his mou
