‘That’s impossible!’Lorraine stared at Charlotte as she walked further and further away before finally returning to her senses.She turned around and approached Zachary.“Zach, I know you’re a man of principle. You’d never do anything like that to me while sober, So I don’t want you to take responsibility. Don’t blame yourself either.”Zachary’s expression was deadpan. His eyes were cold and sharp like knives.“If I had any desire for you, we wouldn’t have needed to do an in-vitro procedure at the hospital, just to have a baby.”“Zach…”Lorraine bit her lips with her pearly white teeth as her eyes brimmed with tears.“You know me. How could you accuse me of such things? When have I ever lied to you? Let alone in matters concerning this?”A grim look flashed in Zachary’s eyes.Lorraine lifted her exquisite, oval-shaped face and stared at him with deep affection.“Zach, it’s true that you never used to desire me, but you’re different now…” At this point, Lorraine blushed as i
Zachary’s steely face showed no emotion. His voice was emotionless too.“That’s between us. It has nothing to do with you.”Lorraine’s shadow on the ground trembled. She lifted her trembling right hand. “You left this watch at my house. I gave it to you three years ago—”“I don’t want it anymore.”Zachary’s icy tone cut her off.“The trash can’s on your left. You can throw it in there.”Lorraine’s knees buckled as if she had received a painful punch. She slumped onto the ice-cold grass.The watch, which she held in her hand like a precious treasure, was instantly drowned in her tears.‘Miranda was right! Zachary’s completely spellbound by this tramp! He’s not the same Zachary who was so in love with me anymore!’Zachary silently walked ahead, never bothering to turn around and look at Lorraine at all.‘Why?’ That was precisely Zachary’s question too.Once, he and Lorraine had been so in love that they were willing to do an in-vitro pregnancy without having had sex, just so
Charlotte’s now dented car sat quietly in the courtyard. She walked toward it straightaway.“Where are you going?”Charlotte suddenly heard Zachary’s clear, melodious voice and turned toward him. Only then did she notice Zachary standing beneath the London plane tree, not too far away from her car.‘Zachary!’Once upon a time, the sound of his voice was enough to make her nervous, to make her heart pound against her chest.However, her impression of Zachary was now worse than dirt. She would never look up to him again!She curled her lips with disdain.“I’m perfectly free to go wherever I please. I don’t need to tell you.”Zachary furrowed his shapely brows.“Garrison?”‘What?’Charlotte was shocked. Then, she understood that Zachary was suspecting her of going to Garrison!Previously, she was so afraid of Zachary misunderstanding her that she would quickly explain herself whenever there was a chance of misunderstanding.However, there was no need now.She raised her brow
Zachary’s eyes were so cold that they could freeze everything in the world.Charlotte, who was being hurdled in his arms, clearly felt the powerful and murderous intent that he released. She was so scared that she did not dare to breathe.“Zachary, as a man, you actually want to confine your wife and take away her freedom. Carlie didn’t do anything to wrong you, she— Argh!” Garrison’s voice was interrupted by his own yell because Zachary’s fist had landed harshly on his left cheek.The power of this punch was so strong that even Garrison, who was as well-built as a male model, could not bear it and collapsed onto the lawn instantly.He struggled, wanting to get up, but when he was halfway there, Zachary thrashed his chest vigorously with a heavy kick, causing him to fall on his back again.Before Garrison, who saw stars swirling around his head like it was the Milky Way, could catch a breath and get on his feet, Zachary had already grabbed him by the hem of his collar, picked him
“Huff...” After taking a sharp breath, Garrison raised his eyebrows and sneered. “I thought you were really going to choke me to death. It’d be great if you were to strangle me to death. That way, you’d regret it for the rest of your life. Carlie would hate you for a lifetime while she remembered me for the rest of her life.”Zachary’s face did not look worried. “I’d be careful not to twist my tongue if I were to be you. You’re just full of bullsh*t.”Garrison was rendered speechless. His expression was slightly embarrassed, however, he quickly pushed Zachary away and stood up arrogantly in the next second.“Carlie didn’t lie to you. We’re innocent, and this is why I came to your house to help her clarify.” While saying so, he took a hard drive out of his car and flung it toward Zachary. “Carlie was asleep in my bed last night. She was afraid that you’d misunderstand her, so she escaped in a panic once she woke up. My home surveillance system recorded the whole process from when I c
“I don’t believe you. Zachary Connor, your empty bluff is useless.” Garrison looked at Zachary’s eyes as if he were staring straight at the arrival of doomsday.Rainbow Bridges—that was the place where Carlie made him a promise six years ago!As long as he waited for her on the Rainbow Bridges every day for 10 years without any interruption, she would be his wife.In order to actualize this agreement, he had insisted on doing so for the past six years and four months.If the Rainbow Bridges were torn down, all his efforts would be in vain, and his ultimate dream of marrying Carlie would go down in flames.Zachary chuckled, and it made Garrison even more panicked.At this time, the cell phone in Garrison’s pocket vibrated. It was a call from Butler Foster, so he picked it up.“Mr. Larson, I have bad news for you. I just passed by the two bridges you’ve been to every day for the past six years and saw that someone was demolishing them.”Garrison was shocked. “Stop them! I don’t c
Charlotte could not maintain her facade anymore. The moment she got into the car and closed the door, the arrogant disguise that she had put on dissipated in an instant, revealing the loss and grief that were camouflaged underneath it.She heard the conversation between Zachary and Lorraine from the rooftop of the building last night.It was obvious that Zachary was still deeply in love with Lorraine. He clearly regarded her as a hindrance between him and Lorraine, but he still chose to be with her because his mother liked her.Sooner or later, he would unveil his true self and drive her out of the house.‘Zachary Connor!’She had been aware that this unattainable man was destined only to be another passerby in her life ever since she had met him. She knew that she was not worthy of him.Therefore, she would always remind herself that she must never fall in love with him after marrying him. She was no match for Zachary, who was too perfect and regal.However, why would she still
Lorraine had begged Zachary to accompany her on her birthday for one last time, and in return, she would completely stay away from him from then onward.Unexpectedly, he had become drunk and even lost consciousness after a few glasses of wine. It had already been the next morning when he had woken up laying on Lorraine’s bed.Lorraine had told him that they had slept together last night. And yes! Lorraine had never lied to him.Therefore, he had no doubts.However, upon thinking that he had slept with another woman besides Charlotte, the thought alone was disgusting enough to make Zachary nauseous.“Actually, if you wish to get Mrs. Connor to stop neglecting you, there’s a simple way out of this situation.” Lucas looked confident.Seeing hope, a beam of light flashed across Zachary’s cold eyes.Lucas patted his chest and said, “Second Master, have you ever heard of the balance theory proposed by a well-known marriage expert? Simply put, a marriage relationship can only be lastin
