“Do you know how to drive? This is such a huge car, and it’s stopped right here. How did you still manage to hit right into it?” Zenios glared at Coraline furiously.Coraline looked apologetic. “Sorry, I’m really sorry, this tunnel hasn’t been fully built yet, so I thought there wouldn’t be any car in here and sneaked in to have fun. I didn’t expect that there would be someone here. Zenios, don’t be angry. I’ll pay for the damages.”“Sigh! It’s not a matter of whether you are going to pay for the dent in my car...” Zenios pointed to Lorraine meaningfully. “My grand-aunt said that I’m blocking her way, and something would end badly for my uncle if I don’t back up immediately. I was about to reverse the car when you hit it in the back, and its engine just wouldn’t start now. How could I make way for my grand-aunt? Sigh! Something is definitely going to end badly this time around!”The corners of Lorraine’s lips spasmed violently.Zenios’s eyes looked even sadder. “Grand-aunt, I’m so
“I’m not afraid to admit that this is definitely a little… disgraceful... But no matter how the process looks, I’ve won, haven’t I?”Zachary was expressionless. “Yes.”Charlotte mustered all the courage she had in her. “So you’ll keep your promise and never use this matter as an excuse to divorce me again in the future, right?”Zachary’s eyes looked as cold as if they were covered with ice. “Yes.”“Then... I’m done here.” Charlotte shrugged.She had done all this just to revoke Zachary’s decision. Since Zachary had promised not to divorce her, nothing else mattered. She would take anything Zachary threw at her in order to get even with her!She thought that Zachary, the legendary and vengeful devil in disguise, would definitely give her a taste of his wrath right about now. ‘Maybe he will give me a harsh kick, or maybe he will strangle me like he did in the hospital the other day...’However, Zachary only took a glance at her with his listless gaze, gave her a strange smile, too
Zachary’s well-defined face was filled with indifference. “Since you know very well that I can’t divorce her now, you should treat that nonsense about me divorcing her and marrying you as if I never said it.”“What?!” Lorraine’s eyes widened, and her originally pretty face was distorted.Zachary did not look at her. He started the car without hesitation and drove past her.As she watched his car drive away in a daze, sorrow and pain scattered hysterically within Lorraine, and she slumped onto the cold ground, tears instantly gushing down her cheeks.In the past, Charlotte would have definitely helped Lorraine up at that moment.However, upon remembering what she had done, Charlotte only took a glance at her without any concern, opened the door, and got ready to get in the car.“Are you leaving already? Just like this?” Lorraine’s haggard voice came from behind her.Charlotte’s hand froze on the door handle. “What’s wrong? Am I obliged to stay behind to comfort your fragile heart
‘It’s bad enough that Charlotte Simmons has turned him into a laughing stock thanks to her affair, but now she even won the bet! This is just a huge slap on his handsome face, yet he actually looks happy! This is bad! Has Charlotte tormented the Second Master into losing his mind?’“Second Master!”Lucas worriedly supported Zachary by his arm. “Humans live a long life. Running into assh*les is inevitable. However, there’s nothing you can do about that. You shouldn’t let your pure, dazzling self be turned upside down just because you’ve run into someone like that. Isn’t that right?”Zachary was as cold and silent as a glacier. “Speak English!”Lucas fiddled with his large earring. “Uh… He he he… I mean… Just be angry when you should be angry. Don’t suffocate yourself.”A peculiar glint flashed across Zachary’s dark, inky eyes.“You may have set your sights on the wrong person, but you shouldn’t blame yourself for it.” Lucas continued consoling him. “That scheming b*tch’s plot was
Lucas’s eyes were filled with sympathy. “What if the results turn out to be just as I’ve described? You’d be disappointed again.”Zachary’s eyes darkened icily. “If that happens, you're going to make Igor Burgov disappear from her world!”Lucas’s heart ached as he watched Zachary walk away. His eyes brimmed with tears.At that moment, Lucas finally realized that Zachary still had feelings for Charlotte…He wasn’t refusing his meals out of his anger for Charlotte, which stemmed from the thought of Charlotte leaving him to be with Igor. Today, Charlotte had refused to divorce him and won a bet against him. That was why he was so happy!‘Poor Second Master! Mrs. Connor’s cheated on him countless times, and he’s still treating her like his first love!’Zachary returned to the living room, looked at a maid, and asked, “Is dinner ready?”The maid was shocked. “Huh? Mr. Connor, it’s only 2.30 p.m. It’s too early for dinner…”She immediately stopped at this point.‘Wait! Mr. Connor ha
“You’re probably going to ask ‘I thought I kicked you out of this house? Why are you back here with the luggage that I sent to you?’ Isn’t that right?”Zachary’s eyes flashed with confusion.Charlotte forced herself to look him in the eye without trembling.“Well, you don’t have to ask. I’ll just explain. Not too long ago, I bested you in a drag race, and you agreed not to demand a divorce over this misunderstanding. Therefore, this villa is still our home, and I should stay here. I’m not leaving, not even if you try to chase me away.”Zachary’s perfect lips curled into an almost indiscernible angle. “Understood.”‘What?’ Charlotte thought that he would angrily question her. She had even prepared a series of explanations, ready for an argument with him! But in the end, he’d actually agreed?Charlotte decided to quit while she was ahead. “Alright then, I won’t disturb you. You’ve been starving for four days. Enjoy your meal.”She quickly headed to the staircase as soon as she s
Zachary stared at the emergency room door as he waited outside. Every second felt like an entire century.More than ten minutes later, he saw the emergency room door being pushed open and immediately sprung to his feet from the bench.“Is she alright?”“Don’t worry, Mr. Connor. Miss Simmons is fine. But…” Dr. McDowell peered timidly at Zachary. “But… we couldn’t save the baby.”Zachary’s gaze filled with a slight warmth.Dr. McDowell continued to explain. “Miss Simmons must have suffered a terrible shock which caused her sudden miscarriage. This is completely normal for pregnant women around two months along. Miss Simmons only collapsed because she fainted from the sight of her blood. However, she isn’t hurt too badly. All she needs is to rest and recuperate for around ten days to half a month and she’ll be back to normal.”Zachary finally relaxed. “Is she awake?”“Mm, Miss Simmons is awake. She will be transferred to a ward soon. You can see her now.”Dr. McDowell felt continu
She couldn’t help but smile.“I don’t care why you did it. I’m still very grateful to you.”“Oh, really?”Zachary’s gaze grew even colder.“You’ve lost the product of your love for your lover. You must be in pain, yet you forced yourself to smile at me. Aren’t you tired?”The smile on Charlotte’s face froze as if a bucket of ice-cold water had been poured over her head.“If you want to cry, go ahead. I won’t disturb you.”Zachary snorted and started walking as if he was going to leave the ward.Charlotte finally found her voice when Zachary reached the doorway. “Do I look like I’m in pain? I never intended on keeping this baby anyway. I would have scheduled a convenient appointment and gone to the hospital for an abortion even if this accident hadn’t happened. I wasn’t forcing a smile for you. I was really happy when I heard them tell me that you rushed me to the hospital.”Zachary felt as if his legs had turned into lead. He couldn’t continue walking at all.‘D*mn it! I’m pe
