That being said, no matter how many times Charlotte had cruelly rejected Garrison, he was indomitable and continued to pursue her with determination.Six years ago, when their school had organized a field trip to “Rainbow Bridges”, Garrison had proposed and given Charlotte a love letter on Rainbow Bridges in front of many students.Left without other options, Charlotte had pointed at “Rainbow Bridges” and said, “Alright, Garrison, you said you would never give up, right? From today onward, you have to come to this bridge every day and wait for me for two hours, rain or shine. If you can keep it up for ten years without fail, after ten years, I will marry you and become your wife.”Charlotte had left right away after that, and she had also thrown the love letter that Garrison had given her into the river. Charlotte had been under the impression that Garrison would give up on her after hearing what she had said. It was just that she had never expected that since then, Garrison would
Since he had not received any response from Zachary, Lucas pulled out his phone, tapped on the information he had found, and then showed it to Zachary.“Look, Garrison gave Mrs. Connor 237 bouquets of flowers, wrote 698 love letters, and declared his love for her 1,966 times in the span of one semester. It may have been more than that if we consider the times no one knew about or the ones that cannot be traced.”Zachary remained tense. His eyes darkened in a terrifying manner.Lucas could only try his best to soothe him.“Nevertheless, Mrs. Connor was not moved. She had even played a prank on him—asking him to wait for her at the bridge. That means that Garrison is nothing more than a dispensable toy to her.”“What did you say?” Zachary finally spoke.Lucas was completely focused on the information on his phone. He did not notice how Zachary’s gaze had plummeted into an icy apocalyptic glare. He continued his explanation. “Uh, frankly speaking, I think that, to Mrs. Connor, Garri
Charlotte turned around and saw Garrison kneeling on the bridge, with his hands on the ground. His face was pale, and his forehead was drenched in beads of sweat. His arms and legs were shaking.“Look at me, a small illness has rendered me useless. I can’t even walk straight. Don’t help me. I can get up on my own.”He forced himself to his feet, but he was aching and weak. He couldn’t stand up at all.Charlotte pursed her lips.Garrison had been the pride of their high school in the past. Not only had he been an untouchable valedictorian, but he had also been the gym teacher’s pride and joy and had broken a few long-distance running records.It’s no wonder Jameson had asked her to come along. Garrison, the champion runner, was now so sick that he couldn’t even walk!“Stop pushing yourself. Come on.”Charlotte had arrived by his side and reached out her hand to him.Garrison, who was surprised by this sudden display of affection, was stunned. Then, he quickly grabbed Charlotte’s
It had been a year since then, and Zachary had never once seen or contacted him at all. He had thought that knowing Zachary’s proud and arrogant personality, Zachary would never contact him again unless he took the initiative to do so. To his surprise, Zachary had broken his streak for Charlotte’s sake!Zachary helped Garrison off the bridge.Charlotte knew of Garrison’s relationship with Zachary, so she wasn’t surprised with their acquaintance. The surprising thing was, in the past five minutes from the time Zachary had helped Garrison down from the bridge to Jameson’s car, they had never said a word to each other. In fact, they didn’t even look at each other…Thus, they walked together with a cold look on their faces, in a bizarre manner the entire way, like two mountains of ice joined at the hip.Charlotte, who stood next to them, felt as if she were at risk of being frozen to death because of them. Hence, once they got off the bridge, she did not continue walking with them. Ins
Charlotte was stunned. “It’s not like I have superpowers. How should I know what will happen in four years?”“You and Garrison have a ten-year promise. It’s been six years now. The promise will be due for fulfillment in four years. Are you going to marry him, just as he’s claimed?” Zachary asked, looking very serious.“Pfft!” Charlotte burst into laughter as if she had heard the biggest joke in the world.“If you’re trying to make a joke, there’s no need to look so serious. Actually, you look pretty good when you smile. Come on, smile!”To her surprise, Zachary looked even more sullen than ever. His icy pupils that stared at her seemed even more terrifying than ever.Charlotte immediately understood that Zachary wasn’t joking with her at all!‘Alright then! We’ve been married for nearly three months, and I’ve never heard Zachary tell a joke before. I’m beginning to suspect that this block of ice does not have a single humorous bone in his body.’She cocked her head awkwardly.“
“Second Master’s emotional wounds are pretty bad today. Drinking warm water alone won’t be enough to mitigate his symptoms. He needs some peace and quiet.”Charlotte seemed to come to a sudden realization. “I didn’t think he’d be that hurt, just because he met Garrison today and was reminded of Lorraine. Has he met Lorraine today?”“Lorraine? Hah!” Lucas smirked secretively.“Milady, if you enjoy filling your mind with such crooked thoughts so much, why not expand your imagination?”Charlotte nearly collapsed.“What are you saying?”Lucas turned around, smiled, and winked at her. “Well, many members of the public have heard rumors that Second Master is really gay. Why haven’t you considered the possibility of Garrison being Second Master’s true love? Perhaps his wounds were greatly disturbed because he knew how infatuated Garrison was with you?”“That… How is that possible!?” Charlotte’s eyes filled with shock.Lucas smiled mysteriously. “I don’t know. You could always ask Seco
Charlotte was so frightened that her hand shook, and her cell phone fell to the floor. She turned her head and looked at the well-defined face before she could bow down and pick her phone up. “She invited me to the Bijoux Gala tomorrow.”Zachary took a glimpse at her phone casually. “That’s it?”Annalita had also urged her to have a baby with him. However, it’s impossible for Zachary, who had always been regal and indifferent, to do so with her without him being drugged or wanting to punish her. If she were to tell him about that, it would make her look extremely awkward and make Zachary think that she had perverted ideas about him...Okay! Charlotte could not deny that she did have some small thoughts about Zachary from time to time. Zachary was such a majestic and perfect man, so it would be abnormal for a woman not to think about him at all.However, she would never say such things to Zachary! So, she smiled stiffly. “That’s it. There’s nothing else.”Zachary’s eyes were full o
Lucas, who was standing next to Zachary, felt the glacial aura that came from Zachary’s direction, and his body trembled.“See? Thank God that I’ve asked. You really have a serious misunderstanding about who I am as a person. Actually, I’m not a nice person at all. In fact, I’m a total d*ck.”Charlotte was completely stunned. “What are you talking about? Why aren’t you making any sense?”Lucas rubbed his oversized earrings. “I’m actually a scumbag, an *ssh*le, and a heartless douche. And when it comes to my relationships, I’m extremely promiscuous, I switch my girlfriends three times a week, and there’s no love between us. I get together with them purely for pleasure and chase them away as soon as the night’s over. I might even spend the night with two or three women in one go sometimes. My private life is unscrupulous, filthy, and perverted. You wouldn’t be able to imagine the things that I can do when I’m not at work. I—”“Okay, stop that!” Charlotte interrupted Lucas anxiously a
