Charlotte had been feeling a slight soreness during her shower, thanks to Zachary’s good work from the previous night. If she let him in, it would be another night of earth-shattering sex.‘Zachary is extremely virile! I can’t handle him!’Just then, she heard a maid’s voice. “Mr. Connor? I’ve brought the keys to Mrs. Connor’s bedroom, as requested. Would you like to open the door yourself, or shall I help you?”“Give it to me,” Zachary answered calmly.‘Oh, God! Is Zachary going to use the keys to break into the room?’Charlotte trembled.Clack!Charlotte’s knees buckled when the key entered the lock. She nearly slumped onto the ground.“Oh, by the way, sir. Mrs. Connor looked pretty exhausted over the last few days. You were kind of yelling at her when you spoke to her through the door, but she still hasn’t opened the door. I believe she must be asleep and probably dead to the world. That’s the only explanation.”Zachary’s hand paused in the middle of turning the lock when h
Bryson’s delicate brows were locked in deep contemplation.“I already told you everything you wanted to know, so why don’t you get your *ss out of here and start looking for the evidence left by Michael so that you can avenge him?” Charlotte’s frigid voice rang out, pulling Bryson out of his thoughts.He looked at Charlotte, and his heart skipped a beat. Charlotte was looking at him as contemptfully as though she was looking at rubbish.“Alright, I will go. I will go now, but let me make this clear. I mistrusted Tiffany, so I’ve always kept my distance from her and I never had sex with her.”Charlotte bristled. “What the hell is wrong with you? Why are you saying such disgusting things to me?”Bryson looked at her fondly and said, “I had the best love, but I didn’t treasure her. When I lost her, I felt regret. It’s the most painful feeling in the world. Carlie, the reason I’m telling you this is because I want you to know that my body is as clean as it used to be. I’m still your p
“What?!” The delight in Bryson’s eyes turned into despair. “You’ve got to be joking, Carlie. It’s rush hour right now, and there are plenty of people on the street. If I do as you say, everyone will start laughing at me and treating me like a psycho!”“Well, that’s none of my business. All I know is that you asked me for a chance and I already gave it to you. You’re the one who cannot grasp it, so blame yourself. In any case, please stop coming after me.”After saying that, Charlotte opened the door and walked into her art studio.Hah…No matter how foolish Bryson was, he was still someone of consequence in Rothesay. If he really went streaking on the street, not only would he be on the news, but he would also become a laughing stock among his friends. He would never do it. Bryson was right.She was messing with him. “Hold on!” Bryson’s magnetic voice erupted outside the door. “I know you’re a woman of your word, but this is very important to me, so I have to make sure
At the moment, the sound of sirens was getting closer and closer.Several police officers emerged from the police car parked by the roadside and surrounded Bryson. One of them said, “Someone reported that a man is disturbing public order. It seems like you’re the one, so you have to come with us.”There was nothing Bryson could do but allow the police officers to arrest him.When he passed by Charlotte, he smiled at her and said, “Carlie, I already did what you asked me to do. It means that I’ve successfully earned your forgiveness.”“Really?” Charlotte lifted her chin, grinning charmingly and triumphantly back at him. “Our deal was that you’d run three laps down this street to get me to forgive you. However, you only ran two and a half laps.”As if he had fallen into an ice cave, all the light left Bryson’s eyes as he looked at Charlotte in disbelief and despair.Raising her eyebrows, Charlotte added, “I will tell you again. I want nothing to do with you, you stupid j*ckass, s
No sooner had Charlotte taken a seat in her art studio than a magnetic baritone voice as sublime as a fine wine erupted behind her. “Are you the owner of this art studio?”Charlotte jerked her head back. Then, her brows furrowed deeply when that tall figure and handsome face entered her vision. “You really are unkillable vermin, aren’t you? Weren’t you just taken away by the police? Why did you come back?”“Huh? Me? Vermin? Taken away by the police? What are you talking about?” The man seemed confused.Charlotte took a closer look, and only then did she realize the man standing in front of her was not Bryson.His voice sounded very similar to Bryson’s, and he looked very much like Bryson in terms of his appearance and stature, so Charlotte had mistaken him for Bryson when she’d heard his voice and seen him for the first time.She immediately apologized. “I’m so sorry. You look a lot like a person that I hate, so… Anyway, yes. I’m the owner of this art studio. Do you need anythin
Last year, after spending a night with Zachary, Charlotte had gotten pregnant with Zachary’s kid.She clearly remembered that she’d nearly fainted from crying in the restroom when she had learned that she was pregnant.However, this time, when she found out that she was pregnant again, she was elated and she smiled tearfully.Zachary!She felt as if there was a sun inside of her, and she could sense a surge of warmth coursing through every fiber of her body. The first person she wanted to inform was Zachary. She called him, and when the call was connected, his apathetic, regal voice wafted into her ear.“Yeah?”“Erm, I…” The elation left Charlotte, and she was suddenly tongue-tied. At first, she’d wanted to share the great news with Zachary, but she was so embarrassed now that she did not know what to say. In the end, she stuck her tongue out and replied, “Well, it doesn’t matter. You go do your stuff. I will let you know after I make up my mind.” Then, without waiting for
Even if Zachary’s mother asked for the moon, he would probably use every means to pluck it out of the sky.Therefore, he would do anything as long as he could appease his mother.Charlotte felt indescribably upset.Boom!Someone had recklessly kicked open the heavy, security-ridden door.“ARGH!” Charlotte, who was deep in thought, screamed in fright.Then, Lucas ran in with his eye-catching, blonde bird nest of a head and bowed before Charlotte. “Congratulations, milady. You’re pregnant with the Second Master’s child. Allow me to pay my respects in the Second Master’s place.”Charlotte accepted a bouquet of beautiful roses and held them in her arms.Charlotte looked at the bouquet, then back at Lucas. “Luke, why are you saying that you’re paying your respects to me in Zachary’s place?”Lucas touched his large earring. “Because the Second Master chose these flowers and bought them for you himself. I’m just offering my services by giving them to you in his place.”‘Huh?’Zacha
They heard a series of hurried footsteps come from the spiral staircase before Zachary could reach Charlotte.A few minutes later, Annalita and Miranda arrived arm in arm along with a middle-aged man in a white suit holding a black leather suitcase, who was following them closely.Annalita looked overjoyed. She looked even more elated at the sight of Charlotte.“Carlie, I told you that you’d be the heroine of our family once you successfully conceived Zachary’s baby and that I’d reward you. This is your reward.”As soon as she spoke, the middle-aged man dressed in the white suit automatically opened the black leather case in his arms.Charlotte was dazzled by the sight of the bright jewels in the suitcase.She had been born in a wealthy family, so she had seen countless famous, expensive jewelry. She recognized one of the necklaces. It was the “Phantom Beauty”, which had been sold at an auction in a palace in Country Y for an eight-figure sum.However, this necklace was not the
