The voice was magnetic and penetrating. Other than Zachary, Charlotte could not think of other people anymore.Perplexed, Charlotte pouted her lips and said, “I’m already asleep. Is there anything you want to tell me?”“Yes,” Zachary replied simply. Charlotte then said with resignation, “What is it?” “To have a baby with you.”‘What!?’Charlotte felt as if a bolt of lightning hit her, and she nearly jumped up from her bed. Her cheeks turned red like a tomato instantly as she stammered, “Erm, I… I… I’m really tired today. B-besides, I am going to sleep now, so—”“Open the door!” Zachary interrupted, cutting her short. Even though she could not see him right now, Charlotte could imagine how cold and dark the expression on his regal face was judging from the depth of his voice. Her heart shuddered at the thought, and she dared not to disobey him. She quickly got out of bed and walked to the door.The moment she opened the door, Zachary strode in. Before she could close the
On the other side of the door...At that moment, Lorraine was pressing her ear firmly against the door. When she heard the commotion inside the room, her heart shattered. She still believed that she was the woman who Zachary loved the most, and there was no way he would sleep with Charlotte. Even after Zachary had knocked on Charlotte’s door and walked into her room, she still clung to the flimsy hope that Zachary was just acting with Charlotte so that she could give up on him.Therefore, she pressed her ear against the door, trying to prove that Zachary did not do anything with Charlotte…However, she was disappointed…Even though she had never experienced this kind of thing before, as an adult, she knew exactly what Zachary and Charlotte were doing right now. ‘When… When did Zach become like this? Doesn’t he hate casual sex the most? How can he do this to a woman that he doesn’t even love?’“You have known Zach for nine years, and you should understand him better than anyo
By the time Charlotte woke up, the sun had illuminated her butt.Charlotte pouted as she thought, ‘Zachary, that monster. He’s really a good son. In order to fulfill his promise to his mother, he…’As she walked out of the room by leaning against the wall, a maid who was tidying up the room saw her, and she shouted nervously, “Ma’am? What happened to you, Ma’am? Are you sick? Should I call Mr. Connor for you?”“Nope… Nope!”Charlotte’s expression changed when she heard Zachary’s name. “I just don’t feel like moving so much after waking up. I will get better soon, so there’s no need to call him.”The maid looked at her skeptically.Charlotte scanned around and asked, “Have you seen Zachary’s uncle and Lorraine?”“About them… I heard from the guard who was on duty last night that they left last night. I also heard that they were supposed to stay here for one night, but Ms. Larson suddenly felt unwell. When Mr. Valentine brought her away, she was crying sadly. Do you know what ha
“I’ve marked it very clearly,” Charlotte said as she pointed at the schedule.“Well… Given the fact that you’re a man, I feel I have an obligation to educate you about some of our female physiological knowledge. An adult woman would have a day of ovulation, so if, let’s say, a couple wants to have a kid, they will have the highest rate of success if they carry out sexual intercourse before or after this particular day. Nothing will happen if they carry out sexual intercourse on other days, no matter how hard they try. I have circled up these few days with a red pen, so except for these days, you should not come to my bedroom.”Zachary’s pretty icy eyes were dark as if two abysmal black holes. When she was talking, she looked so serious, calm, and expressionless like a Biology teacher. Yet, he, who was extremely good at controlling his emotions, was upset and was about to lose control at any moment.Charlotte took a sip of water to moisten her throat as well as to calm herself down
Lucas carried a condescending look on his face.“This car may be an exceptional treasure to you, but it’s a dime a dozen to Second Master. If he’s given it to you, just use it.”Deep down, however, his heart was bleeding.Zachary had thoroughly studied Charlotte’s personal profile and confirmed that she had always dreamed of owning a Ferrari sports car before dispatching an employee to Aurope and purchasing it for a very high price.Zachary didn’t want Charlotte to think that she owed him too much, so he had asked Lucas to pass it off as a casual mention. Charlotte gulped. “Alright then, I’m going to help myself.”She carefully pushed the car door open, sat in the car, and started the engine. She gently stroked the shiny steering wheel, hesitated, then turned off the engine and exited the vehicle.“Uh… Luke? Look at this car. It’s so perfect, so glamorous. I can’t bear to drive it. Can I use your car instead? I’ll wait until my car is fixed and brought back from the shop. I’l
Zachary was a shareholder at The People’s Hospital of Rothesay. Thus, the hospital director, who had seen Charlotte with Zachary before, was particularly attentive to her. He immediately arranged for someone to do Charlotte’s DNA test.Charlotte’s heart was leaping out of her chest like a little rabbit as she waited for the results.When the doctor arrived with the results, her hand was drenched in sweat from nervousness.“What’s the verdict, doctor? Is that my baby?”“Yes.” The doctor nodded. “Your genetics and the owner of that lock of hair are a perfect match, which means that you are related. To put it bluntly, you’re the mother of that baby who provided the hair sample.”The doctor’s voice continued to echo in Charlotte’s ears as she left the hospital.Three months ago, she had never even seen her son after giving birth to him. He had been taken away!Zachary had been working hard to find him after discovering the truth but hadn’t been able to find a single clue.It had be
“I’ve heard of your story with Zachary. You forced him to marry you in order to use him to save your family. Your uses for him are now spent. So why not use up his very last bit of usefulness and leave him in exchange for a reunion with your son?”Charlotte’s eyes filled with anguish.The man exited the vehicle and walked away.However, he had only taken one step before Charlotte stopped him. “You won’t need to wait three days. I can give you your answer right now.”The man smirked with satisfaction. “Go ahead. However, I have one condition—your verbal promise to leave Zachary will not be enough for me to give you your son’s location. I need you and Zachary to officially divorce. Then I’ll give you what you want.”“Really?”Charlotte lifted her face arrogantly. Her eyes filled with disdain.“But my answer is no!”The man’s smile shattered like broken glass as if he had been slapped.“You’d better reconsider. Not many know of your son’s whereabouts. Reject my offer, and you m
Charlotte’s car had already driven away from Lorraine’s view at this point.Lorraine turned her gaze toward Jebediah’s face. Her eyes immediately turned cold. “Jebediah, your initial intention in helping me was to replace Zachary as the king of the business world in Rothesay. You need to remember that as long as you help me get him back, I will help you surpass him in the business world in return. Stop questioning the issues between him and me.”The sympathy in Jebediah’s eyes shattered. He icily curled the corners of his lips.‘I must surpass Zachary! I need to prove that I’m much better than him!’Charlotte, whose mind was consumed with thoughts of her child, was in no mood for food. She skipped lunch and drove back to the art studio.Just as she opened the door, a man wearing a cat mask suddenly pounced on her from a car parked outside her art studio.Charlotte paled with fright. She dropped her keys onto the ground. “Argh! Who are you? What are you doing? You!”“Shh!” The
