Zachary’s thin lips shivered slightly.Those memories had been made back when he had still been in love with Lorraine. The sweeter and prettier they were, the more they hurt when he thought of them, which was why he’d sealed those memories at the bottom of his heart and never recalled them.However, after Lorraine mentioned them, the barrier that Zachary used to seal those memories away was torn, and a gap was formed. All the memories gushed out hysterically and nearly suffocated him.“Zachary, I don’t want you to leave me. I want to hold you like this forever. I didn’t betray you. I had no choice but to leave you back then. Now that I’ve come back to you, you could come back to me too, just like you promised me. We could grow old together and never be separated from each other ever again.” Lorraine’s gentle, pleasant voice and each and every word she said evoked countless memories.They had loved each other back then, but they could not be together because of Annalita’s strong opp
“Zachary, are you going to leave me just like that?”“Zachary...”Lorraine called out to him in her trembling voice, but Zachary, who was determined to leave, did not even look back.Charlotte sighed. “Save some energy. It’s not that he can’t hear you. It’s just that he’s ignoring you. It’s useless for you to yell, no matter how loud you are.”Lorraine sneered. “Are you mocking me?”Charlotte was dumbfounded.Lorraine’s smile was bitter and wry. “Charlotte, let me remind you that if you weren’t his wife now, instead of being so indifferent, he would’ve reunited with me after learning the truth. You’re in no place to mock me.”Charlotte was speechless, as she knew very well that Zachary still loved Lorraine.In the beginning, Zachary had broken up with Lorraine because he’d mistakenly thought that she had betrayed him. Now that the truth had come to light, if she hadn’t been standing between him and Lorraine, Zachary would have reconciled with Lorraine the moment he’d learned th
Slap! Kourtney flung a bank card at Charlotte’s body. “Tell him that with this card, I’ve cleared my debt. He’ll understand what I mean.”After saying these words, Kourtney turned around and left.Charlotte took some time to calm down and find her voice. She then looked up at Kourtney’s enchanting figure. “Why did you kill Zachary’s sister back then?”“The same reason I wanted to suffocate you with a pillow. Because I hated her. I’ll live a happier life knowing that she’s dead.”Kourtney did not even look back while saying this lightly.Charlotte’s expression froze suddenly, and her delicate face returned to normal.‘Do you see that? This is your biological mother! How could you find a reason to love her?!’Picking up the bank card and putting it in her pocket, Charlotte stood up by supporting herself. After taking just a few steps, she saw Lucas running toward her with his conspicuous golden afro.“Milady, you really are calm. The Second Master was so depressed that he was on
Charlotte, who got closer to Zachary, only saw him standing in front of a nameless tombstone. Just like Lucas had described, he looked like a block of ice.Charlotte stood on Zachary’s right. “Luke told me that you went to the hospital for a paternity test, so I guess what Lorraine said is true?”Zachary opened his thin lips. “Yes.”Although he only answered the question indifferently with one word, Charlotte was content. After all, Lucas had told her that when he’d tried to comfort Zachary, Zachary had not said a word no matter what he’d said.She looked up at his handsome face. “Then I understand why you’re so sad. Don’t worry, I won’t stay here and continue to stand between the two of you. I’m not that shameless. I’ll go and pack my stuff now… No! I can do that later. If you’re free now, I can go to the city hall with you.”There was faint confusion in Zachary’s gloomy, frigid eyes. “Why do we need to go to the city hall?”“To get a divorce...” Charlotte tried her best to down
Zachary’s eyes became warmer. “Can.”‘What!?’Charlotte thought that she had screwed up badly this time around, so she was only giving these bumptious words a try.She thought that Zachary, who valued principles more than anything else, would never agree with her!‘He agreed so easily?’ Charlotte looked at Zachary’s glacial expression in surprise, joy, and disbelief. “Then, you won’t give my family hell anymore, will you?”Zachary, “Yes.”Charlotte finally heaved a sigh of relief.The purpose of her coming to this eerie cemetery to speak to Zachary was to fulfill his dream of being with Lorraine. However, she must also protect herself before trying to perform a good deed!If she dared to talk about the divorce again, not only would she get to experience hell on Earth, but her family would also go down together with her. That was not something that she could afford to do!As such, she forced out a smile, thanked Zachary, and was about to leave as if she was running away for her
Zachary raised his shapely brows into a cold, sullen angle.“But you always make it sound so easy, every time you ask for a divorce.”“Easy?” Charlotte laughed.“Zachary, you’re the smartest person I’ve ever met, and yet you’ve failed to see how much courage I’ve had to gather every time I bring up the matter?”Zachary’s tensed expression gently relaxed.Charlotte smiled.“Back when Bryson first broke up with Tiffany, and I started dating him, they had a clean break. I had zero pressure. You and Lorraine are different. You broke up because of a misunderstanding, you love each other, and you have a kid. This makes me feel like a homewrecker who’s taken advantage and stolen someone else’s husband.”She pulled away from Zachary’s grasp and walked away from his right.Once she was safely away from his gaze, her forced smile immediately shattered.‘Zachary and Lorraine love each other… Why do I feel as if I’ve fallen into an ice cave whenever I think of that? I feel like I’m freezi
Soon after, Zachary arrived at the living room. His gaze fell upon Charlotte at once.Charlotte, who had been staring at him, couldn’t avoid him in time. They locked eyes, and she felt as if an electric current had surged through her. She blushed.“Hehe, I just wanted to say… I love these bracelets. Thank you.”“You’re welcome.”Zachary’s chiseled face showed no signs of emotion, but his icy pupils displayed a tinge of warmth like lava, flooding through his gaze.He had already intended on giving Charlotte a gift long ago. However, not only was he unsure of what she liked, but he was also worried about her stubborn nature and that she might refuse his gift. It would be very humiliating for him if he failed to be attentive to her.Zachary never imagined that he, who was always perfect and regal, would become so useless.He actually felt as if his heart was consumed by sweetness as if he had consumed honey, just because Charlotte had accepted his gift… The next day, Charlotte we
Miranda sneered. “You may not acknowledge Lorraine as your sister, but are you going to refuse my brother too?”Charlotte’s expression immediately changed when Miranda mentioned Zachary. “What… Are you talking about?”Miranda’s smile filled with even more disdain. “Hah! Oh, Charlotte… You’re a d*cks-before-chicks kinda gal, aren’t you? You scheming b*tch? You looked so cold and distant when I brought up Lorraine, but when I mentioned my brother, you got so anxious that your eyes nearly popped out of your head. Look at you, you tramp. Disgraceful!”Charlotte couldn’t be bothered to explain herself to Miranda. Instead, she lifted her face proudly. “How is it that you’re just like Tiffany, adept at talking smack?”“You…”Miranda went red from rage. Then, she smirked, containing the bubbling rage in her heart.“Hehe, I’m a cultured, educated lady myself. I’m not going to waste my breath being angry with a fake like you. I just wanted to tell you that my brother is taking Lorraine t
